Terence, let me send you a small snippet from the book on the general attitudes. Chris can relate more on the generalities. Hopefully, it is legible enough to read. The gist is that psi is not well received and best kept a secret from any but the most trusted friends.

Are there any non-Zhodani psionicists?
Appreciate you putting so much effort into background !


Oh sure. You can just play as a human, although you would likely be a vilani rather than a solomani, and the antipathy would still be possible,
This might help: https://www.traveller-srd.com/core-rules/psionics/

And this might give a rough overview of the territory:

Other races are also psi-positive, but might be cumbersome to play. Happy to give more detail if you would like, but I am wary of overloading!

Er... so what are my options for a psionic race that doesn't offend the other players? :)

Yeah, I realize that more adjustments are needed; I'm just not sure exactly what changes should be made or how to best implement them.

I do not think this answers the question directly, but this reminds me of what I think of as the opposite extreme of cooperation.

Years ago playing Star Wars, we were boarding a vessel. But we weren't. One of the players/PCs kept talking. He was always trying to get everyone to agree on what to do and why. This is not 2 or 5 minutes. We are talking 15+ minutes and people are still debating. My solution was to ignore them and just tell the GM what my PC was doing and I did it. Similar issues had come up again. I just acted. This encouraged other players to simply act. It was not that we were uncooperative. There were not really issues and we were not splitting the party. It was a rejection of the idea that somehow we all had to be an agreement before any of us took action.

As a side note, I think that player who until I joined had cajoled the other players into doing this was about control. He later tried to convince the GM that the vessel we just took we could not keep because we could not afford the fuel. There were similar actions he tried to take later on.

Wondering if Third Imperial Human or Coalition Local might work better? I think at this point in time, I'm leaning towards Coalition Local more?

I wouldn't mind continuing play with my prior character if that is acceptable (since my secret was never revealed that would save some work <g> ), or I can roll up a new one, both are fine with me, but I would like to continue in the roll of engineer/mechanic.

Edit: well sigh, no sign of the character sheet lieing around, so, I guess a new character is in order. I'll stick with human.
