The Awakening

The races, upon leaving their homeworlds to explore the stars, came across a powerful force that filled the universe and flowed through all things. This energy they called Psychon, and it changed them. Rare individuals would be born to the races who could, to some measure, control Psychon. These were called Psions. The Mentalos were always able to control Psychon, but this was entirely new to the younger races. Initially, the Psions were shunned and feared by their kin, outcast for their freakish powers. It wasn't until the Mentalos named TM-0247, also called Magistero, accepted non-Mentalos into his temple in 14 BCF to teach them the ways of Psychon and how to use it. He taught his three students, Annar the Geosian, Setten the Ja'Mekk, and Breof the Hermadur the Three Schools of Psionics. These three psions would then go out to found their own temples and spread their psionic knowledge into the future generations of psions for years to come.
