The Empress Wave is a psionic effect that started coreward of the Zhodani Consulate several centuries before the end of the Third Imperium and is currently expanding rimward at the speed of light.
Description
The psionic effect of the Empress Wave causes a number of undesirable effects in psions, which may include madness, sociopathic violence and suicide. The effect itself is said to contain intense emotional effects, which are difficult to understand or control for most psions. Existing psionic suppressive devices and shields of sufficient high capacity can block or diffuse the effect.
Some theorists beleive that the Empress Wave carries a coded psionic message of sorts, but this theory is largely unconfirmed by known sources.
First rumors of the Wave reached the Imperium during the Fourth Frontier War pointing to severe problems in the upstate of the Zhodani Consulate.
Projects
The effect of Wave was further researched by project Longbow by Strephon's CSB scout service.
Several projects been launched, when Strephon realized the devastating effect of the Empress Wave.
- The goal of the Avery project was to genetically engineer a human with high psionic powers to research the Empress Wave.
- The goal of the CABAl project was to use SuSAGs Better than Life technology to control a human crew during transits within the Empress Wave.
- The distribution of JumpStart caches started for the case, that new knowledge gained by Avery could not solve the Empress Wave problem.
