=== Master of Orion: Conquer the Stars === ====Manual==== Brilliant researchers who devote their lives to science, the Psilon are reclusive geniuses who are physically small and weak. Their peaceful nature is only shadowed by their crippling paranoia that other races will steal their research and technology. They are creative and efficient researchers who are gifted with all technologies. ====In-game==== Under the supervision of the Controller at Mentar, a sprawling network of Psilon communities comprise the Quanta. Devoted to unraveling of the mysteries of the universe, each Quantum investigates independently in order to contribute to the knowledge of the whole. The Psilon are a peaceful race, and only keep fleets of highly advanced warships as defensive measures. Brilliant researchers, they are often ahead in the technological race, yet seldom seem to take advantage of their superiority. Instead, they prefer to trade for new discoveries while shielding themselves from the rest of the galaxy in order to continue investigating in peace. ====Website==== The Psilon are an intellectual race which value knowledge above all else. The Psilon priority on research and education has been so internalized that it is at the core of their physical evolution they gradually changed over time into the physically weak beings that they are today. They dedicate their entire lives to research and focus their energy on their work, often blinding themselves to the world around them. They are incapable of showing emotion on a biological level. They have excellent manners and speak in relaxed tones. However, they do not understand the intricacies of nonverbal communication and most social cues, so the Psilons are a somewhat awkward race. Psilons take aptitude tests very early in their development stage that determines what their primary studies will be in life (results come in the form of suggested research specializations). Excellent engineering in Psilon society renders many menial jobs obsolete and delegated to robotic systems. Psilons operate a dictatorship style government called the Quanta, which is ruled over by the Controller. The Controller's main duty is to manage intergalactic relations and oversee the allocation of government funds to various research facilities. Psilons typically generate revenue by selling access to their trademarks and patents. Top researchers often consult with the Controller on domestic issues. As an exceptionally peaceful and non-confrontation race, the Psilon do not have internal conflict and do not challenge the authority of the Controller. They hide behind their technology in war and will wait to strike until they are positive that they have the technological upper hand. A team of risk analysts serve the Controller to establish the measure of their advantage and minimize risks to Psilon assets. ====Art Book==== It takes great skill and patience to play successfully as the hyper-logical Psilons, but they are a long-time fan favorite of Master of Orion players. The Psilons are rational and emotionless creatures who exc el at research and scientific advancements. They often wait until they have a technological advantage before attacking; war for them is often tinged with sadness, as the obliteration of a less prepared civilization gives them no particular pleasure. The Quanta looks to the future, secure in the knowledge that their research and advancements will not fail them in the trying times to come. ====Short Stories==== ''See [[Short Stories]]'' * [[Short_Stories#ICARUS_-_A_Psilon_Short_Story|ICARUS - A Psilon Short Story]] * [[Short_Stories#Feature_Spotlight:_Jump_Gates|Feature Spotlight: Jump Gates]] * [[Short_Stories#Psilon:_Library_of_the_Controller|Psilon: Library of the Controller]] * [[Short_Stories#Feature_Spotlight:_Espionage|Feature Spotlight: Espionage]] * [[Short_Stories#Silver_Sentinel_-_Short_Story|Silver Sentinel - Short Story]]
