History
Other Information
Located in mid-south section of the Zeta Trisector (6,9 Lower Right) nestled somewhat between the planets of Aker and Beta Terra. The Orrin have grown up in a part of space originally thought to be very psionically void. Sitting amongst a very volatile area of space, the Orrin have also been able to be quite discreet about their existence until now.
The planet Orrin, named for it’s rich evergreen forests that cover most of the land, has a unique government – with leaders of various sects of the planet working with three main religious leaders. One of those leaders, Prefect Sprague, has quietly gained power, shifting the planet-wide government to his purposes without most of the others realizing his influence.
The people of Orrin usually have fair complexions. However, while lighter colored hair, skin and eyes are the norm, it is not too unusual to see some variances. They are of Terran build and their average height is around 6’2” for males and 5’9” for females. An average life span runs anywhere from 80 to 120 years.
Psionic domination is an accepted way of life for the Orrin. Those that are in power often have at least domination listed in their belongings. The dominated individual becomes the property of their "masters" and are controlled via a training process that involves PBP extraction and behavior modification. Once the spirit has been broken, it is easy for the Orrin master to control their dominations with little psionic energy expended.
Prefect Sprague, while becoming very powerful, has created a huge underground market for the PBP. This large market has created a need for psions to be harvested from. Finding small planets to set up extraction sites, large colonies have been found that house hundreds, even thousands, of captured and enslaved psions. This form of slavery is very difficult on the psionic beings and can eventually lead to their loss of cognitive abilities and ultimately death. However, the process has been refined over many years to get the most PBP from each slave.
It was the destruction of such an extraction site, Lamorak Colony, that brought about the discovery of the Orrin Cartel. The USI Eglanand responded to a distress call and found the colony destroyed, with thousands of men, women and children killed. Further investigation led to the discovery of the extraction chamber and the horrors of what was being done.
New Psionic information after first Orrin encounter.
One recently discovered information about Psionics are its side effects and its by-products. Psionics in of itself has only one side effect, a by-product called PBP, or Psionic By-Product. What it is is a combination of some basic chemicals and some interesting electron attributes which exhibit some quantum irregularities which it then causes some interesting side effects to the Psion. PBP is created through the direct use of Psionic activity. It is created through the quantum connection of the Aureal plane around the neurons of a Psions brain. This is then bussed to the endocrine system of the being, where it is then distrubted to the rest of the body via the Blood Stream.
PBP then causes two known side effects. The first is a natural high, or euphoric feeling. This feeling is extremely intense. The other is different and varies depending on the ability used and the individual who is using the ability. It is observed that the second effect, which takes place shortly after the first is always a negative or degenerative. Common symptoms range from hallucinations, memory loss, lose of senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, psionic, supernatural ), amplification of certain senses (hearing, touch, empathy related psionic abilities with no control) physical impairment such as paralysis, loss of physical control, etc.
The level of the ability used by the Psion determines the Strength (intensity) and the length (Duration) of the PBP's effect. Strength (intensity) refers to how much the of a negative effect the PBP has, for example if it effected sight, a low intensity would product blurred vision, whereas a high intensity would cause blindness. This intensity can increase or decrease the duration occasionally.
It has been recently found that PBP can be collected from psions for several reasons. The first is for illegal drug use. Because PBP acts like a Narcotic, it is often harder to detect its illegal use. It is, however, extremely dangerous due to the negative side effects that PBP causes after the high. The High is usually in small durations but more intense than traditional narcotics. The second would be for use in Biological/Chemical Warfare. While there have been no known successful attempts in using PBP as one, it is likely to see this used in the near future.
It has been reported that there now exists situations where Psions have been enslaved and captured so that PBP could be harvested and used.
