In the game

WARNING: Challenging Origin WARNING: Blocks access to Psionic Ascension. This civilization's ancestors were plagued by otherworldly forces that invaded the mind, inspiring them to dedicate great effort and resources into developing anti-psionic technology. Their ancient devices are still functional, but remain untested against psionic threats from the wider galaxy.
