 ===== Background =====
-Akshay Jacobs was born aboard the spaceship Last Frontier in 2599 into a deeply religious family belonging to the [[Covenant of the New Dawn|Covenant of the New Dawn]], a Christian minority movement among the ExoHuman settlers. The Covenant of the New Dawn views the crash landing on [[VOI 700 D|VOI 700 D]] as a trial set forth by God, meant to test humanity’s ability to steward a new world with wisdom and restraint—redeeming themselves for the failures of [[the_earth|Earth’s]] past.

 Akshay's mother, Esther Jacobs, is a pastor within the New Kourou chapter of the movement. Since spirituality is considered a private matter under the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]], the Covenant has no public churches or religious institutions. Instead, members gather in private homes to worship, study scripture, and discuss their faith. These gatherings are tolerated but not officially recognized, and members of the movement must carefully navigate their beliefs within the constraints of Communard society.
