A symbolic star that is used as a holy symbol. The symbol was not used by Alexandria herself as a standard, but rather was described in the Testimonial of Sterros and adopted by the same. In the earliest days of the Church, it served not only as a symbol for unity and progress, but also as a powerful teaching tool to introduce the survivors of the world to the new religion.
It is an eight-pointed nautical star partially contained within a circle. To followers of the faith, extra care is given to the inscription of the containing circle--as it comes closer to the qualities of the ideal circle, so does the symbol itself come closer to representing Alexandria's ideals.
