	The Cult of Sirius do not provide any services to X-COM. At the beginning of the game they will issue absurd demands for "compensation" for X-COM's anti-Alien activities, but they will give up on this fairly quickly. After that, the only time X-COM will encounter the Cult is if either organisation raids the other's buildings.		*[[Temple of Sirius (Apocalypse)\|Temple of Sirius]]

	Note that despite their hostility to X-COM, the Cult of Sirius is overall a fairly peaceful movement and will only rarely [[Base Defense (Apocalypse)\|attack X-COM bases]]. However, they will become far more aggressive if infiltrated by the aliens, and the Cult can be infiltrated very easily (they will not report aliens in their temples, and infiltration happens twice as fast as normal).

	* If the Cult becomes hostile to X-COM, it may send the same number of Cultists to raid an X-COM base. These attacks are normally infrequent, but will become much more common if the Cult is infiltrated by the Aliens (which is likely, considering that they do nothing to resist infiltration).
	* Cult Temples can be lucrative targets for raids. In addition to the weapons looted from dead Cultists, X-COM agents may find the following basic loot on the floor:
	** [[Megapol Lawpistol]]
	** [[Megapol Auto Cannon]]
	** [[Megapol AP Grenade]]
	** [[Marsec Proximity Mine]]

	* Quickly and repeatedly raiding the Cult ~~Temples at~~ the beginning of the game ~~can yield massive cash income, Agent experience, and tactical points~~ for X-COM's ~~weekly evaluation~~. ~~And~~ X-COM ~~needs only to fear retribution from~~ the Cult ~~itself,) for such actions.However, the Cult CANNOT retaliate until its balance~~ is ~~positive, and repeated~~ raids ~~will make~~ the ~~cult financially in so much debt they can~~'~~t do anything for months. Thus, large scale, senseless destruction in later weeks, once per week, can keep the cult entirely emasculated~~.		The Cult of Sirius do not provide any services to X-COM. At the beginning of the game they will issue absurd demands for "compensation" for X-COM's anti-Alien activities, but they will give up on this fairly quickly. After that, the only time X-COM will encounter the Cult is if either organisation raids the other's buildings.
	* However, ~~raiding~~ the ~~cultists can leave all your agents either very dead or very injured. Just remember that you are using basic weaponry at the start~~ of ~~the game,~~ and ~~cultists are using~~ [[~~Marsec]] [[Marsec Heavy Launcher~~\|~~Heavy Launcher~~]]s, ~~[[Megapol]] [[Megapol Plasma Gun\|Plasma Gun]]s~~, ~~[[Marsec Minilauncher\|MiniLaunchers]]~~, and ~~[[Marsec Proximity Mine\|Proximity Mine]]s (~~as ~~general explosives~~)~~.
