Mutualists (Tendency)
Refers to both a tendency and a specific organization: Society of Mutuality, a radical secular group, led by scientists, that seeks to rejuvenate the Convergence by encouraging and facilitating the integration of new cultures. They have a strong ethic of mutualism, and politically align themselves with the weaker outer planets. Willing to use extra-legal means, and violence in its opposition to the Guardians. Sometimes align with Autonomists. A close ally to the secular Travelers Guild, and the Society of Travelers, and their Temple brethren, known as the Order of Eckahau. Mutualist in the Sweetland Quartet
