The Trakovites are a secretive faction founded on the Shaper mainland during the Great Rebellion and first encountered in Geneforge 4. They follow a set of rules which dictates that all Shaping should be barred from use forever because of the tendency of Shaping to lead to both ecological and sociological disasters. Disliked by both Shapers and Rebels, they are either captured or executed. They are very few in number and their goals are often dismissed out of hand or even not completely understood because of how far they stray from commonly held beliefs.
