Hans Rancke-Madsen has questioned my authority (ALWAYS a bad idea |-> )
on the matter of psionic hatred in the Solomani Sphere; due to the relative
remoteness of the Sphere from the Zhodani, he asks, is it not reasonable
to assume that the psionic hatred established by the backfiring Psycho-
history project would not have taken root there?
To which I reply: *BZZZT* Wrong. Sorry, Hans; the Traveller literature
states (PRECISELY where, I'm not sure, but my best guess is Alien Module
Six) that the propaganda leading to the Psionics Supressions went into
full swing all over the Imperium, including the Autonomous District, nearly
two centuries before the fracturing of the territory. The Solomani are
Imperial in their tastes and prejudices in that respect; you won't see
many psionic shield helmets in the Rim, but the people there hate psis as
much as anyone else. See also "Prison Planet" for an example of how psis
are treated by the locals.
