Mentals

In 3284, experiments conducted into the creation of a new kind of super soldier in the New Roman Empire would lead to an extreme discovery: Mentals. "Mentals" is the slang term for someone with the ability to perform acts of telekinesis or psychokinesis and it is brought about through either being born with it or being genetically altered to have the ability.

Discovery
In 3284, Dr. Daniel Gallinus along with a large team of researchers unlocked the ability in one Subject 379, a female who had "volunteered" for the trials. Dr. Daniel Galliuns recorded hundreds of hours of data that showed conclusively that through genetic manipulation Subject 379 had apparently gained the ability of telekinesis. The discovery was too huge to keep under wraps and by 3288, hundreds of scientists from all over the galaxy were writing and researching Mentals and what they could do.

UCN Inquiry to Human Rights Violations
In 3289, a request from an anonymous source had the UCN inquire about the violations that were made in the NRE by the research group. The UCN wanted to try and bring in the individuals for trial, this was supported by the Juvian Empire and the Olmenfjir Federation, but the New Roman Empire refused the UCN entry into their territory to conduct a search. The issue was pressed, however, and the NRE eventually gave up the doctor and his research group to the UCNJB and they were found innocent of any human violations, but upon return to the NRE they were found dead by what appeared to be Mental inflicted wounds.

Classes of Mentals
Mentals have been classified into many different classes based on how powerful they are and their control of their power. This is normally only an estimation and as such these classes should not be taken as rigid constructs.

Class I
This class is the basic class of Mental, not completely in control of their power and not entirely powerful.

Class II
This class is more powerful than Class I obviously, but they still lack complete contorl of their powers.

Class III
This class has quality control of their power and are clearly more powerful than both classes before them. This is the class that most Mentals get to by the end of their life if they do not train their ability at all.

Class IV
This class has great control over their power and are incredibly powerful. This class is where most people get to after they train their ability for quite some time, thusly most Mentals can achieve this class.

Class V
The highest class of Mental, these Mentals have near perfect control of their power and are ungodly powerful. This class is where the super soldiers or naturally gifted Mentals are normally placed and even some gifted artifical Mentals can achieve this class.
