The Elysians are the most well-known psionic race in the Orion Sphere, and have the most advanced psionic culture. They have made extensive study of their mental abilities, and developed to an extent that other species would take centuries of focused study to reach.

Elysian psionic powers manifest in one of three main areas: forcing their will upon and manipulating other minds; focusing their mental power through specialised crystal and organic technology; and using their minds to impose direct control over mental and biological phenomena. These areas form the three Root Paths of Elysian Psionics.

Coercion is the root path of forcing a stronger will upon another mind. It allows the psion to hold another's mind in thrall, and later to issue it commands that compel the target to act. The Path of Coercion grants access to the more subtle arts of emotion and mind control.
