| To the [[orlamu_theocracy|Orlamu]], all things touched by the Divine Unconscious are sacred; the visions of Jeff Sendir, the [[psionics|mindwalking]] power bestowed on mankind, even the capacity to traverse [[stardrive|drivespace]]. But no individuals prove more sacred than those born into life within the Divine Unconscious.

| - | The nature of the Starborne provides strong evidence that the properties of drivespace may influence the development of mindwalking abilities. This theory results from the fact that 60% of all Starborne develop some form of psychic power over the course of their lives, 75% of them prior to reaching puberty. The church gathers together all Starborne children for proper instruction in the ways of science and the Divine Unconscious, with the priesthood essentially becoming their surrogate parents. The original families of such children often gain prestige in Orlamu society, and the church still allows them a small role in each child.s upbringing. | + | The nature of the Starborne provides strong evidence that the properties of drivespace may influence the development of mindwalking abilities.

| Only 15% of Starborne actually develop full-fledged psionic abilities as mindwalkers or diplomat-mindwalkers. Another 40% possess talents of varying degree, able to wield a small number of psionic talents. At least a small population of the Starborne (approx. 5%) can tap into their mind's potential to become aware of psionic phenomenon <del>(per the Psionic Awareness perk)</del> or to influence some other skill <del>(per the Latent Psi perk)</del>. The other 40% of children born in drivespace remain devoid of mindwalking ability. | Only 15% of Starborne actually develop full-fledged psionic abilities as mindwalkers or diplomat-mindwalkers.
