The Knights of Genetic Purity were a terrorist group that featured in Andromeda.
History
The Genites were created during the turbulent period after the fall of the Systems Commonwealth which resulted in the rise of many political, philosophical and religious organizations that sought to exist in the chaos and despair that plagued the known worlds. It was in this environment, a decade after the collapse of the Commonwealth, an organization was created called the Templars formed by Admiral Constanza Stark which sought to eliminate the threats to the now destroyed Commonwealth. However, a cadre of former Human High Guard officers believed that the reason for the Fall was due to genetically engineered Humans. Thus, they began an attempt to exterminate all such creatures and were thus expelled by Stark.
It was from this point that the Knights of Genetic Purity were formed who blamed genetic engineering of the human genome for the collapse of their civilization and often pointed to the Nietzscheans as proof of this belief. Their motto became "a pure universe for pure humans" and began to attract many devoted followers which in turn began to wage a war against the Neitzscheans as well as other corrupted experiments of genetic engineering. Legions of supporters and the technical base of the Commonwealth allowed the Genites to persecute these enemies and they succeeded in slaughtering millions of such foes. For a time, it seemed that they would succeed in their goals.
However, an alliance was formed between the Nietzschean Prides which included the Drago-Kazov which managed to defeats the Genites after a number of pitched, bitterly fought battles across both the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies. After they were defeated, the threat of the Genites seemed to have been destroyed and the Nietzscheans returned to their internal conflicts. Yet, a number of groups emerged claiming to be successors to the original Genites had arisen though none of these were as organized as the original core group. Rumours persisted that these new Genites had secretly established a new power base somewhere in an isolated region of space and have a process of re-armament in order to wage a new crusade against the genetically engineered humans of the known worlds. Since that time, they have also engaged in skirmishes with their original parent organization known as the Templars.
Background
