Simguru Pranav Antal's vision of Utopia is taking the galaxy by storm, with 91.8 billion people joining the movement at most recent estimates, and shows no signs of slowing down. Many migrants are attracted to the commune's experimental tech, high standards of living, and the ideal of a better society.
But is everything as it seems to be? A few former Utopians, who remain anonymous for their protection, have come forwards with disturbing testimonies. One young man said: "My sister and I used to live on the Federation fringe worlds. Life's hard on the frontier, and we travelled to Utopia to find work. Everything was great first - free accomodation, quick employment - but then my sister got a position assisting the local overseer. They're kidnapping people and locking them up for questioning or disagreeing with Antal's wisdom. It's run like a cult. I told her not to confront them... Now I don't know where my sister is, or if I'll ever see her again."
When questioned as to these accusations, one of Antal's senior aides appeared shocked: "Simguru Antal would never condone such practises. These are false accusations attempting to discredit Utopia by those who have not yet reached enlightenment. Vistors are welcome to view our sim-archives at any time, and experience what life as a pilgrim is truly like."
