Isn't it that the founder went through a series of gravity jumps and then claimed on one of them that he saw a serpent which spoke to him? Nobody else has saw it except him but he has a cult of followers now who love doing gravity jumps in the hopes that they'll see the serpent one day too. He's dead now and nobody else thus far has seen it but the cult is extremely secretive.
Now there's three options.
1. The dude is insane and saw things after spending long periods in space.
2. He's a grifter
3. It's true, which would imply there is an alien species which lives between the fabrics of space.
Idk how exactly gravity jumps work in Starfield, I think Todd said they fold space-time around them.
Theory 3 would be close to The Expanse.
