The Soldiers of the One (also known as the "STO") are a monotheistic religious group whose singular mission is to "drive out the many Gods" and combat the decadence and corruption of Colonial society. The Caprican government considers them a terrorist criminal organization.
Sister Clarice Willow, headmistress of the Athena Academy, is apparently a leader in the group, who reports to Barnabus Greeley (Gravedancing). Other members include her students Lacy Rand, Ben Stark, Zoe Graystone, Keon Gatwick, Pam and Hippolyta. At least two -- Stark and Gatwick -- collected explosives.
There is a branch of the organization on the planet Gemenon, with whom Graystone intended to seek refuge. She had plans to further the Soldiers of the One's mission that involved her virtual avatar in some way.
History
Ten years prior to the bombing of Maglev 23, the Soldiers of the One went dormant.
A number of STO members intended to flee to Gemenon—Zoe Graystone, Ben Stark and Lacy Rand. However, Rand pulled out of the trip at the last minute and further, Stark was wearing a suicide vest, which he blew up on Maglev 23—much to the surprise of Graystone, herself being killed in the bombing.
Sister Willow refers to this as "premature" and "unauthorized" (Caprica).[1]
Notes
More than sixty years later the same symbol utilized by this group is seen at the hands of the humanoid Cylons, being employed during a religious funereal service (Islanded in a Stream of Stars). The reappearance of the symbol may suggest a direct connection between the religion inherited by the modern Cylon nation from the Caprican Centurions and that espoused by the Soldiers of the One.
