So does the Imperial military and various corporations employ psions for testing and development purposes? If so, do they have to be registered? Is there an Imperial agency that regulations such individuals? Has anyone heard anything about this agency anywhere in the Traveller literature? The whole situation, on the face, seems a bit unworkable without us making some logical conclusions that would seem to go against Traveller cannon.
Which, if you were the Imperial acquisition official charged with secretly supplying this sort of technology, is pretty much the public narrative you'd be comfortable with. ;)
