The Outer Light

The Outer Light was the name of The Other Light's space program. They were one of the first Other Light subfactions, arguably being started in Millennial Year 93 with the launch of the Falcon, the first spaceship of the Millennial Kingdom.

Their activities for the next 800 years are unknown, and it is possible that they were disbanded and reformed a number of times.

In addition to manned and unmanned space launches, their activities include operating planetariums and teaching cosmology classes.

They are the only Other Light subfaction known to accept Christian members, and are shown to have collaborated with tentative Christian attempts to create a space program.

In the last century of the Millennium, the Outer Light ally with the Omega, greatly increasing their available resources.

While they fail at their main goal of disproving creationism through cosmological observation, by the time of the Last Battle they succeed in establishing a base on the Moon, a town on Mars, and a handful of mining outposts in the asteroid belt.

The Outer Light personnel constituted a significant fraction of the crew of the Reach.
