Monoculism

Monoculism is a religion borne of Teruga Prime. Monoculists believe that the Helix Nebula was once the eye of a living deity named "Cillia", who was one of the first life forms ever to come into being in the BZPB Multiverse. A gigantic being made solely of an unknown element that lit up like fire, Cillia travelled the universe in the search of finding a companion or her creators, but her quest was ultimately fruitless. When she finally gave up, she decided to make her own company by gathering dust, shaping it into rock, and then shaping the rock into a sphere. Her tears of loneliness washed over Teruga Prime, and formed its first great seas. The first Terugans grew from this mix of chemicals and began to colonize the planet. Eventually, another of Cillia's kind found her while travelling the universe, and she decided to leave with him to a new home. Before leaving, she made clear her love for the Terugan people, and removed one of her eyes to act as the planet's sun. She promised that she would return, and instructed them to never come looking for her in the fear that they would lose themselves, or be destroyed by the energy of the sun (her eye) as they got too close. These events were recorded by primitive Terugans and passed down through the generations.

Because of the degradation of the Helix Nebula in the aeons since, Monoculists believe that she will return soon to replace the nebula with her other eye, or simply remain above Teruga Prime to bask it in her warmth and restore life to the dying world.
