The non-profit organization of Psycorp was founded over three hundred years ago by a group of people who wanted to understand psionic abilities scientifically. They study known psionic individuals to try to learn how their abilities function.
Psycorp also has an anthropological section which sends ships to primitive worlds to study them and their use of psionics. This section is heavily funded by a reclusive information broker simple known as "The Broker", who notifies them of psionic activity he has detected on primitive worlds. They then send a ship, usually "The Odyssey", which is Captained by one of his friends, to the location to check it out.
One month ago the Broker detected a telepathic shout from a star system 130.7 lightyears from his space stasis, the Vandeen system, which has only one inhabited planet. This planet is inhabited by a tanned elf-like race of humanoids in what is in roughly the late middle age, with strong magical and psionic traditions. Whoever sent out the shout would have had to be incredibly powerful to reach so far away, so he notified Psycorp and they sent the "Odyssey" to investigate.
The ship now nears the system, just minutes away in warp. The situation may not be what any of the crew expects, though.
