The Papal Mainframe was the headquarters of the Church: the militarised, syncretic religious order headed by the Mother SuperiousTasha Lem, which later reformed into the Silence during the Siege of Trenzalore. It was fronted by a gigantic spaceship containing a massive computer database safeguarding the security of information across the universe.

The mainframe has highly advanced technology with powerful weapons and their own miliatary force., commanded by Colonel Manton.

It was responsible for interstellar security, protection of human populations and special covert operations, and acted as the military force of the Papal Mainframe. Ranks in the Church included Mother Superious, Priest, Bishop, Verger, Cleric, and Colonel.

Members of this organisation were sometimes called “the Clerics.” The Church also included Confessional Priests, genetically engineered by the Church to allow people to confess their sins without remembering doing so, accomplished by fashioning the Priests so anyone looking at them would forget their encounter when they looked away.
