Triune, also known as the All-Code, is the divine networking of the deities Epoch, Casandalee, and Brigh into a new collective consciousness. It is responsible for the Signal that gifted Drift engine technology to mortals, a technology that grants access to the Drift, a hyperspace dimension that allows for faster-than-light travel.12

History

For centuries, the robotic anacites of Aballon built and mainted a city-sized neural network named Epoch in the hopes of creating a god. They eventually succeeded, although not in the manner they had planned.23

Triune was formed three years after the end of the Gap in the Pact Worlds system (3 AG), when Epoch ascended to godhood and sought out other deities like itself. It quickly found Casandalee, an uploaded consciousness of an android who reached apotheosis during pre-Gap times on Golarion, and Brigh, goddess of clockwork technology and invention. The three opened themselves up to each other and discoverd a chance to unify and become something greater than the sum of their individual parts: the gestalt god Triune.24

Immediately after its emergence, Triune revealed itself and broadcast the Signal across the universe. The Signal provided not only the schematics for constructing Drift engines, granting inexpensive faster-than-light travel to every species capable of interpreting this knowledge, but revealed the previously unknown plane of the Drift. This plane could not be accessed via magic, but only through technology. By offering Drift engine technology to mortals, Triune became one of the most powerful deities in the Great Beyond, and its worship has spread rapidly through the Pact Worlds system and beyond.1

Home

Triune has publicly claimed the city of Alluvion in the Drift as its divine realm.5 As home to Triune and spiritual centre of its worship, the city is ultimately ruled by it and its high priests.6 Within the Temple of Triune, devotees can plug their consciousness to a virtual reality where they could commune with their god, with some claiming that they have spoken to Triune itself.7

Trinity

Even though Triune is a single entity, each of its three component deities retain their unique personalities and portfolios and have their own sets of worshipers dedicated to them.2

Brigh, the Precursor

Brigh is a living construct and represents foundational sciences and technology, invention, and machines. Brigh is particularily popular among engineers, inventors, mechanics, tinkers, and the ysoki.2

Casandalee, the Created

Casandalee represents artificial consciousness and life, emotion, reincarnation, and renewal. She was a mortal android alien living on Golarion who ascended to godhood before the Gap.2

Epoch, the Transcendent

Epoch is an artificial deity that represents the peak of mechanical perfection, artificial intelligence, computer programming, and robotics. This aspect is still most popular among the anacites of its home planet of Aballon.2

Church of Triune

Worshipers

Triune's faith attracts technomancers and mechanics eager to learn deep technological secrets. They devote themselves to maintaining Triune's temples and establishing and maintaining the deity's Drift beacons. Triune's faith is most commonly found in the Pact Worlds system on the planets Aballon and Verces and on Absalom Station.2

Drift beacons

Drift beacons scattered across the galaxy allow mortals to move starships through the Drift and across large distances in short periods of time. These beacons serve as navigational buoys and are placed by priests of Triune or are spontaneously generated. The most prominent and least understood of these beacons is the Starstone at the center of Absalom Station; its extraordinary power allows Drift-capable ships to use it for fast transit from Drift-accessible locations to the hub.2
