Like the other militant Mindwalkers, psiguards normally find employment in the personal security forces of political leaders,corporate executives, and ambassadors—or they hire out as special operatives. Their special talents augment the abilities of existing security, allowing a force to react both offensively and defensively to a wide variety of threats. Unlike the biowarrior,psiguards tend toward materialism and pragmatism, they use their talent as a tool to get ahead in the world, not as an end in and of itself.

In the Verge: The most noted psiguards are the Guards Templar cf the Orlamu Theocracy. While not all of the Guards are actually psi-capable, a great number oi them are skilled Mindwalkers. A small detachment oi Orlamu Guards Templar can be found at the shrine aboard the Lighthouse.
