The '''Church of the Eternal Void''' was a fringe religion that formed sometime in 3304 in the [[Core Systems]]. One of numerous fringe religions with apocalyptic beliefs that arose during the [[Second Thargoid War|second conflict]] between [[human]]s and [[Thargoid]]s, the Church was by far the most popular. It venerated the [[Guardian]]s as saviours who would protect humanity, and later seized on antagonism toward the ~~Thargoid-worshipping~~ [[Far God cult]] to further promote itself by declaring a holy war. Following the deaths of hundreds of Far God cult members, the Church of the Eternal Void was banned in all systems where it operated on July 25, 3304, and its leadership was arrested.

===Emergence===

As the Thargoid conflict wore on in 3304, journalists and scholars began noting the phenomenon of fringe doomsayer cults proliferating throughout the Core Systems. Independent reporter [[Gethin Okonkwo]] published an article on May 19, 3304 revealing that dozens of such cults had emerged and attracted thousands of members, and while their natures varied, they were all adamant that the Thargoid conflict was a sign of an imminent apocalypse. For example, the Church of the Eternal Void taught that the war was a futile struggle for human souls, with the Thargoids taking the role of demons while the [[Guardian]]s were "beings of light who have decreed us unworthy of salvation". In contrast, Generation Omega believed that human civilization was naturally doomed to fall before a superior lifeform such as the Thargoids, and planned to build mass euthanasia centres to give humanity the opportunity to end itself with dignity. Okonkwo concluded by saying that these radical fringe religions would likely persist as long as the uncertainty caused by the Thargoid conflict continued.<ref>[https://community.elitedangerous.com/en/galnet/uid/5afc3617b57fd80b460215ea GalNet: Fringe Doomsayer Cults on the Rise]</ref>
