Per Aspera Ad Astra, or simply, Ad Astra, means: "Through hardships to the stars".
We are a community-minded support group established in 2028 by American ex-patriot, Royal Crosby.
Our goal is to rebuild the community of man by helping the augmented reintegrate into our neighborhoods.
Our belief is that through compassion, understanding, and respect we will find harmony between the Augmented and the Naturals.
When the peaceful ways that we have been preaching are met with violence.
When innocent people are beaten and chained and treated as though they are less than humans.
When ordinary citizens scorn and spit on the augmented.
When all these things happen, we have no choice but to push back.
But when we push back it is with kindness and compassion; with acts, not action.
