Psi-Touched
Exposure to the wildly dangerous Isotope-10 usually results in cancer, death, or permanent negative genetic mutation. However, in some special cases, those that survive end up stronger than before their exposure. Others are born with the gift, as their mother / father might have been exposed to Iso-10 at some point. Whatever the reason, those called Psi Touched find themselves capable of manipulating the Filaments of space that are used by the gates to navigate space.
This power manifests itself in several ways, with some Psi Touched gaining telekinetic abilities, with others gaining those of telepathy or precognition. Some Psionics allow healing, while others allow teleportation. It has been recorded that exceptional psionic users can have skills in multiple categories, but none have been known to master them all.
The ability to use Psionics requires a proper neural chip in the spinal column. The psi-chip is extremely expensive to create, and requires special application to make sure it takes. Without a chip, the psionic powers often spiral out of control, and cancerous cells ravage the Psi-touched, leaving an average life expectancy of only 20 years. Thus, many poorer or less off denizens of the galaxy might plead with the likes of the Be'Teu Order or even try to push their child into joining the military in order to get access to the proper equipment.
This chip can be hindered by more cybernetics and strain put on the body, meaning that the best Psi-Touched use very little chrome, and cannot become Techies or Tech-Knights, nor can they by default be Androids.
