	==Psionic History==		==Psionic History==
	Although humanity would only discover psionics in the year 2332, their influence has shaped skrell society and the species’ overall development for all of their recorded history. Even the earliest ancestors of modern Skrell exhibited some level of psionic potential, and it remains a commonly-held belief that this unique characteristic among the Spur’s sophonts was responsible for their rapid advancements in science, culture, arts, and religion. Even after thousands of years of ongoing research, psionic theory remains an expansive and difficult field among academics across the Federation and beyond – outside the Federation itself, research into the field by other interstellar species has proven almost impossible to conduct without Skrell assistance, and even then progress has been glacial in most nations.		Although humanity would only discover psionics in the year '''2332 CE''', their influence has shaped skrell society and the species’ overall development for all of their recorded history. Even the earliest ancestors of modern Skrell exhibited some level of psionic potential, and it remains a commonly-held belief that this unique characteristic among the Spur’s sophonts was responsible for their rapid advancements in science, culture, arts, and religion. Even after thousands of years of ongoing research, psionic theory remains an expansive and difficult field among academics across the Federation and beyond – outside the Federation itself, research into the field by other interstellar species has proven almost impossible to conduct without Skrell assistance, and even then progress has been glacial in most nations.

	Formal study into psionics by the Skrell is first documented as far back as 7000 BCE, with the first texts and writings separating psionics from early Skrell beliefs and religions manifesting during this period. The ‘psionic centre’ of the brain (better known as the zona bovinae in most languages of the 25th century) was medically discovered at some point in this era, sparking intense speculation over the exact nature of psionics from a scientific and rational point of view. The subject found itself under specific scrutiny for the first time, with academics among the developing Skrell societies no longer content to view the phenomenon of psionic potential as something inexplicable but otherwise intrinsic to their species – often tied inextricably to religion – but as something biological that necessitated a full and comprehensive understanding.

	Unfortunately for the scientific community, however, the greatest gift given to the Skrell has also proven to be one of the hardest to fully unpack. Though the discovery of the zona bovinae itself helped to jump-start psionic theory as a legitimate field of study among academia, further analysis into the exact nature of psionics quickly found itself bogged down by a lack of clarity and direction. The ‘shared dream’ of the Srom and ‘psionic wake’ of the Nlom were first formally codified by psionicists as reality-moulding phenomena in the year 2012 BCE, and this fundamental understanding of psionics has so far stood the test of time. Further breakthroughs in both psionic theory and the newer field of psionic technology, however, have come much more gradually.

Further breakthroughs in both psionic theory and the newer field of psionic technology, however, have come much more gradually.

	The most major breakthrough of recent centuries in the field of psi-tech came about in 2067 CE with the invention of the Nlom ~~interface~~ – a bio-component composed of artificial, lab-grown Skrell brain tissue designed to mimic the zona bovinae. Despite the catastrophic usage of this particular technology during the Skrell Synthetic Age, Nlom interfaces remain in common usage across the Federation to this day, as they allow Skrell to interface remotely with machinery in a way that would otherwise be impossible. Nlom-capable equipment has been a cornerstone of Federation technology ever since its invention, and its ubiquity means that the average Skrell has long since become accustomed to interfacing psionically with a wide variety of devices, from uses as mundane as lights that can be brightened and dimmed at will, to entire computers capable of operation by thought alone.

	Non-Skrell can enter The Srom through the help of a psionic guide. These psionic guides are often Elder Skrell who have dedicated portions of their life to studying The Srom. They can come from many backgrounds; Psionic Scholars, Elders of a Skrell Faith, or simply Psionic Researchers. Due to the immense amount of training that consistent Srom Pulls require, being able to Srom Pull effortlessly is something only the masters of the technique can do. However, the technique is not a secret and many can piece it together and perform one to at least a beginner level. Those without training can perform rudimentary Srom Pulls but it is accompanied with great concentration and straining; something that should not be done constantly. A Skrell will most likely learn the technique of an advanced Srom Pull from an established psionic guide or Elder throughout consistent psionic studies and classes. Schooling related to the Psionics in Depth Colleges even have degrees available in Srom Studies.		Non-Skrell can enter The Srom through the help of a psionic guide.

	A Non-Skrell in The Srom will feel the effects more heavily; and due to such, these Non-Skrell in The Srom are practically incapable of lying and misdirection. ~~They~~ will ~~oftentimes~~ be incredibly dazed and confused without any real ability to manipulate their surroundings ~~in any way~~. It will ~~often~~ take ~~many~~ months of training for a Non-Skrell to manifest even a rudimentary orb of light or to exist in the space without being dazed, and even then it is ~~exceedingly~~ rare for a non-Skrell to show any aptitude for manipulation within the Srom. It should be noted that non-Skrell, even with a psionic receiver, cannot interface with [[Skrell#The_Nlom\|Srom-Devices]]. Once awoken, a Non-Skrell will experience a feeling similar to being intoxicated, accompanied with ~~minor brain damage~~. ~~Due to~~ this, it is ~~not~~ advised to ~~Srom Pull the same individual multiple times within quick succession for fear~~ of their ~~safety. If multiple~~ Srom Pulls are performed it could be treated as maiming by the ship's security forces due to the traumatic brain injuries associated. Those with psionic receivers are less prone to more severe damage but precautions still need to be taken to ensure that their body and mind stays safe. The health and safety of the Non-Skrell should be prioritized by the psionic guide.		A Non-Skrell in The Srom will feel the effects more heavily; and due to such, these Non-Skrell in The Srom are practically incapable of lying and misdirection. Newcomers to the Dream will often be incredibly dazed and confused without any real ability to manipulate their surroundings. It will typically take months of training for a Non-Skrell to manifest even a rudimentary orb of light, or to exist in the space without being dazed, and even then it is rare for a non-Skrell to show any aptitude for manipulation within the Srom. It should be noted that non-Skrell, even with a psionic receiver, cannot interface with [[Skrell#The_Nlom\|Srom-Devices]]. Once awoken, a Non-Skrell will experience a feeling similar to being intoxicated, accompanied with a brief spike of pain for those of lower psionic sensitivity. Though this pain causes no lasting damage, it is still strongly advised for a psionic guide to conduct a psionic assessment of their prospective student prior to a Srom pull. The health and safety of the Non-Skrell should always be prioritized by the psionic guide.

	Dionae, and Vaurca are incapable of experiencing The Srom under normal conditions. However, if one were to install a psionic receiver then a skilled Psionic Guide would be able to assist them in a journey to the Shared Dream. Psionic receivers allow non-Skrell to interact with the Srom but in a more passive capacity, relying on their guide to actively help them manifest objects or change their surroundings but otherwise being more of an observer than other non-Skrell. It is extremely common for Non-Skrell that reside in the Nralakk Federation to have these receivers installed due to the sheer amount of cultural relevance and importance that psionics and The Srom have within society, but they are still at a disadvantage due to the receiver not acting as a full replacement for a Zona Bovinae. ~~IPC~~ and Synthetics are incapable of entering the dream even with a receiver due to their incompatibility with psionics.

	* '''Non-Skrell without a receiver''' who are repeatedly subjected to The Srom run a very small risk of receiving '''[[~~Skrell_Ailments~~#~~Psionic_Echoes~~\|Psionic Echoes]]'''. Psionic Echoes are an ailment that only affects very weak psionic users or non-Skrell. If an individual is pulled into The Srom repeatedly then certain words or images may be "imprinted" into their mind; ringing throughout their head like an echo once they awake from the Shared Dream. This can range from a very mild case, where an individual may only hear one echo a day, or to something more extreme, where an individual will hear multiple echoes repeatedly throughout the day.		* '''Non-Skrell without a receiver''' who are repeatedly subjected to The Srom run a very small risk of receiving '''[[Skrell_Biology#Psionic_Disorders\|Psionic Echoes]]'''.

	* '''Non-Skrell without a receiver''' may also have a lasting sense of confusion or paranoia after repeated visits to The Srom. This is thought to be due to how hard it is to keep secrets within the Dream and may even manifest as the individual being unable to tell the waking world from the Dream; albeit only for a short period after their visit. Due to such, it is common for Srom Pulls to be performed in a controlled environment with minimal background noise to ensure that the individual has an easy transition from the waking world to the Dream and vice versa.		* '''Non-Skrell without a receiver''' may also have a lasting sense of confusion or paranoia after repeated visits to The Srom.

	* '''Skrell without Psionic Guidance training''' who repeatedly perform Srom Pulls will need to cool down for a short while before they are able to do so again. Psionic fatigue is the most common symptom in novice Skrell who attempt this advanced technique but it can be mitigated with further training. This common ailment can hinder general psionic capability and also cause fatigue in the body itself; leaving the Skrell winded and in need of rest before they would be able to perform the maneuver again.		* '''Skrell without Psionic Guidance training''' who repeatedly perform Srom Pulls will need to cool down for a short while before they are able to do so again.

	* Nralakk Federation researchers are looking into the connection between '''Skrell without Psionic Guidance training''' and '''[[~~Skrell_Ailments~~#~~Brenaii_Syndrome~~\|Brenaii Syndrome]]'''; while there is no official connection, the Federation has warned Skrell that only trained Psionic Guides should be performing Srom Pulls regularly. Brenaii Syndrome is a neural disease that results in the degradation of synaptic pathways of a Skrell. It has also been known to result in immunodeficiencies and endocrine atrophy. It is caused by the disruption of neuroelectric impulses within the Zona Bovinae and is spread through psionic interaction. Brenaii Syndrome is heavily stigmatized within skrellian society.		* Nralakk Federation researchers are looking into the connection between '''Skrell without Psionic Guidance training''' and '''[[Skrell_Biology#Psionic_Disorders\|Brenaii Syndrome]]'''; while there is no official connection, the Federation has warned Skrell that only trained Psionic Guides should be performing Srom Pulls regularly.

	Skrell who don't have the luxury of ~~aluminum~~-plated walls and want to isolate themselves fully from the Srom must remain in light sleep or stay awake entirely. This means those who have secrets to hide have the telltale sign of being constantly tired. Some Skrell, though, can enter a meditative trance, keeping the mind active while the body rests.

	Lone Skrell, who for one reason or another are away from other Skrell, will still enter the dreamscape while asleep, but without the support of their own kind the Dream will often be much smaller and vaguely hazy. Most Skrell find the experience depressing and prefer light sleep or meditative trances if they have the aptitude.

	It is difficult to keep one's lips sealed in the Dream, with social inhibitions easily melting away. However, it is also much easier to create and brainstorm in Srom. Ways to hide from the dream clutter of a Dream are somewhat numerous. Distancing yourself inside the Dream is the most common tactic, but it is also known that ~~aluminum~~ (typically headpieces, blankets, or plated walls) blocks off connection to the Dream entirely.

	Psionic individuals can actively alter and adjust things within the Dream through skill and effort, but the level of alteration is heavily dependent on what you’re adjusting and your own psionic aptitude. Typically, it's most easy to modify your own body within the Dream and a very common practice. Some Skrell even go so far as to make costumes to sleep in to make the transition easier. Rarely, talented Skrell can modify a sizable chunk of the Dream’s environment on their own, though the process can be very taxing and leave the sleeping Skrell feeling tired after they wake. Additionally, any changes they make gradually revert once they leave the Dream.

However, if one were to install a psionic receiver then a skilled Psionic Guide would be able to assist them in a journey to the Shared Dream. Psionic receivers allow non-Skrell to interact with the Srom but in a more passive capacity, relying on their guide to actively help them manifest objects or change their surroundings but otherwise being more of an observer than other non-Skrell. It is extremely common for Non-Skrell that reside in the Nralakk Federation to have these receivers installed due to the sheer amount of cultural relevance and importance that psionics and The Srom have within society, but they are still at a disadvantage due to the receiver not acting as a full replacement for a Zona Bovinae. IPC and Synthetics are incapable of entering the dream even with a receiver due to their incompatibility with psionics.

	* Around the '''5500s BCE''' the '''[[Skrell_Early_History#Estabishment_of_Civilization\|Great Schism]]''' occured; marked by a period in skrellian history in which there was a legitimacy crisis in regards to the religion which they followed, Qe'qlak. It was through several key debates, alongside the use of political maneuvering and stealthy intrusions, that Qeblak was formed. For a while after its formation, many believed that Qeblak was a heresy, and for centuries after, skrellian scholars debated such. It was only through a mixture of both Nlom and Srom interference, Qeblak was eventually adopted as the primary faith of the Skrell.		* Around the '''5500s BCE''' the '''[[Skrell_Early_History#Estabishment_of_Civilization\|Great Schism]]''' occured; marked by a period in skrellian history in which there was a legitimacy crisis in regards to the religion which they followed, Qe'qlak.
