This little rambling concerns a thought I had about Zhodani-Regency relations in The New Era. Might
not a psionic using Regency with all the good old virtues and vices be viewed as a more
destablizing neighbor than the old deadhead Imperium.
Previously, the Zho's could justify the dictatorship of the psionic by saying that ZHO society is
significantly more progressive than the Imp's with it crude repression of psionic talent, and that
psionic nobles having all the say, thought police and re-education are just some of the cost of the
better society.
Now Deneb has a society with open psionic members, and the proles there just don't seemed to get shoved
the Regency around the same as back on Zhodane. This is assuming of course that Norris didn't decide that
the Tlacaverde(sp?..its been awhile, what can I say my zhodani is rusty)thought police is a neat idea,
and got some of his own. But that would mean the Spinward marches, ain't the old Spinward
Marches we know and love.
Course I would have to admit, the 10pt swan dive into the toilet that the 3rd Imperium took
themselves, the solomani, the aslan hegemony, the two thousand world, the hivers, and most of the vargr,
would be one effective piece of propaganda on why the deadheads should'nt run things.
See GDW, I can have a positive discussion of the TNE universe, without foaming at the mouth.
