Powers Institute

The Powers Institute is an open source Psionic Academy. It is also the Megacorporation in control of Marcoullides.

Psionics at the Institute are given basic military training and are expected to act in national defense against the Superflora and Fauna that inhabit the planet.

The Institute has earned the undying ire of the Federal Society after stealing on of their ships and reverse engineering its Drive-3 engine, using the advanced processing and factories built into the Academy by the Terran Mandate. Now, it sends its advanced drive ships with stealth systems to worlds that may have psionics, announcing their presence and a brief landing zone for psionics to meet with them, then making a fast run from the system. An unknown, but significant, number of psionics have been 'liberated' in this way.

The future plans of the Institute are inscrutable to outside analysts, and the stockholders aren't talking.
