By that I mean that the basic premise being: that the means of (re)creating new technology is lost, the current technology around is treated as sacred and the function marred in elaborate rituals or prayers because they don’t know how to otherwise operate it, and to a lesser extent that new ideas or (often xenophillic) research is met with suspicion or outright rejected because it doesn’t fit with the religious dogma.
I keep feeling that a similar group is somewhere in Star Trek, right on the cusp of my memory, but I can’t seem to recall any specific examples.
Not Star Trek, but it brought to memory the train wreck that is the movie Zardoz.
Hysperia operates its technology and society with a sort of ren faire aesthetic, calling the fusion reactor a dragonsbreath flame for example. They know what’s really going on though, it’s just a very elaborate cosplay.
donno, but I hope they got that crunchy bass voice.
Between the OST’s for Mechanicus and Ixion Guillaume David does not miss.
