PSI CORPS

After the Ascent of Earth to the Galactic Stage not only Faster than Light technology was suddenly available but Earthers were also exposed to the fact that Psionics really exist and that there were civilizations like the Kermac or the Saresii who more or less based their entire Civilization on Psionics and Psionic based technology. The new United Earth government saw this as a tremendous potential danger and threat and first tasked the old AXIOM organization with providing defense and research. The first Psionic Murder case in Earth’s History that came to trial made clear that Psionics were still not taken seriously enough. After the formation of the United Stars of the Galaxy a new joint task force was established and called the PSI Corps. A Para-military organization of very strong Psionic talents, receiving specialized training to develop their powers even further and control them with greater precision than an untrained PSI user. The PSI Power Act of 2231 made it unlawful to read others minds, to pry into personalities and listed a catalog of activities a PSI talent was no longer allowed to do and the part of the PSI Power Act was the HPI register. Every union member must be tested for their Psionic Power level and abilities via the universally accepted Heidelberg Psi Index. PSI talents and HPI are part of the CITI. These laws are meant to protect non talented citizens from intrusion and protect talents from false accusation and prosecution. The PSI Corps has three levels and three areas of Activities: 1) Civil Service The Civil Service branch of the PSI corps provides Psionic Police, psionic law enforcement and PSI investigation to all Federal and Local law enforcement agencies, courts and legal systems. 2) Military Branch Considered a department of the United Stars Army, the PSI corps provides Security, Intelligence, Counter Intelligence as well as PSI Battle Units to all other Branches of the Armed Forces. Union Fleet Ships usually have a PSI-Officer aboard. The Military Branch also provides Units to the Secret Service for Object and Personal security of dignitaries and VIPS of the government. 3) Research and Development The PSI Corps constantly researches and develops new PSI based technology. They engage in PSI Archeology, PSI Forensics and PSI Medical research and activities.
