Mutualists
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 religious Temple of Eight Roots, also know as The Temple, also a mutualist group, although there are also reactionary Temple groups, such as the Children of Ertfiil.
