Despite never having shown an interest in religion before, Telosa woke up one morning in [[3032]] driven by a dream he'd had in which he had seen the blue lights of [[Aleksandr Kerensky|Kerensky]]'s ships surrounding the star in the [[Elissa]] system. He traveled to [[Halfway]], then the center of the [[One Star Faith]] cult, and told the High Elders of his vision.<ref name=20YU>''20 Year Update'', p. 94 - Egan Telosa profile</ref>

That dream galvanized the One Star Faith, who had not previously known the location of the paradise world that was at the center of their faith, into action. Elissa was a system in the [[Elysian Fields]] in the [[periphery]], and the region was in turn a protectorate of the [[Oberon Confederation]]. Although General [[Hendrik Grimm IV]] of Oberon reportedly scoffed at the group's vision, he gave them permission to emigrate to Elissa if they would pay 100 million [[C-bill]]s. Over the course of twelve years, the One Star Faith managed to collect the money so that Telosa could lead the group to Oberon. However, the [[Inner Sphere]] lost contact with the Oberon Confederation and the Elysian Fields in [[3045]] for unknown reasons, with political turmoil a suspected reason. Fearing for their safety, the bulk of the One Star Faith moved no further than [[Pasig]], where they waited until it would be safe to travel to Elissa.<ref name=20YU/> Only a few went ahead to prepare Elissa for the arrival of the others.<ref name=IPp76-77>''Interstellar Players'' , p. 76-77 "DESTINATION UNKNOWN"</ref>

Instead, as it turned out the [[Clan Invasion]] had seen [[Clan Wolf]] conquer the Oberon Confederation and Elysian Fields in [[3049]]. The return of Kerensky's descendants as invaders instead of guarding Eden for the Faithful shocked the One Star Faith, which had steadily expanded until [[3050]], to its core. The faith of many of its followers shattered, membership declined drastically. Only a few hundred members still believed, much to the mockery and derision of many.<ref name=IPp76-77/><ref name=HHS-124>''Handbook: House Steiner'', pp. 124-125 "Religion and Philosophy - Other Religions and Faiths - The One Star Faith"</ref> Egan Telosa remained as the faith's High Visionary and spokesperson.<ref name=IPp76-77/><ref name=HHS-124/>
