The Thruddites are a Thrycion social movement spanning across all Thrycion races that protest - often by destroying tool shops and large vehicles - against changes produced by the mixing of Earth’s cultures with Thrycion’s cultures. Many Thrycion inhabitants have begun to use Earth technology; primarily electronics and power tools. However, most Thrycion inhabitants do not wish to have roads, air travel or manufacturing facilities on Thrycion, seeing these as the worst examples of Earth’s technological excesses as well as the primary reason for the comparatively poor condition of Earth’s environment compared to Thrycion’s.
Since the flow of technology from Earth to Thrycion is limited by what can be brought through the Gamers Gate, the Changuch Gate and the Tokachi Gate it has been relatively easy for Thruddites to stop roads, airplanes or factories from being built on Thrycion. The Thruddites bring ad hoc militant forces to bear whenever any significant progress is made toward establishing roads, air travel or factories anywhere on Thrycion.
Recently, a schism has arisen in the Thruddite community as dwarves have been vocal about making an exception to the traditional Thruddite position and allowing railroad systems to be built in some Thrycion nations.
