For random thoughts about stuff.
- If we restrict communication speed to lightspeed, then we get a courier system similar to Traveller's. Might be worthwhile from a game perspective.
- Possibly a guild system for the couriers, outside the house politics by general agreement of the houses? Vimes 20:06, 3 May 2011 (PDT)
- Millenia ago, when the colonization race was spreading through the galaxy at full tilt, countless human psychics were systematically hunted and slaughtered, during a time now known as the Mind Cleanse. But legends tell of a handful of heroes, the Psy Shields, who championed the resistance. A near-constant element of the stories is that the Shields used some sort of technology which could mask psychics from detection, strengthen the abilities of psychics, or possibly even enable non-psychic humans to practice some psychic abilities. Of course, modern metaneuroscience considers that sort of technology theoretically impossible. But new information supposedly linked to the Psy Shields (if such people existed) do sometimes gather a good deal of interest among the fanciful, or desperate, powers in the galaxy.
