== Uses ==
Taynixes seem to have various different [[cytonics|cytonic]] abilities, with the specific one depending on their species and indicated by their color.
Taynix have an innate [[cytonics|cytonic]] ability to travel through the dimension of the [[delver]]s, and are used by the Superiority as hyperdrives that do not risk drawing the delvers into the universe.{{book ref|sky2|34}} To do so, a cage containing a taynix is inserted into a Superiority hyperdrive. During a hyperjump, the taynix produces a [[cytonics|cytonic]] scream, which distracts the delvers from the passing ship.{{book ref|sky2|20}} This scream is apparently only perceptible for beings with cytonic abilities.{{book ref|sky2|21}} Cytonics onboard can, intentionally or unintentionally, interfere with the ship's hyperjump process and cause a malfunction, which is usually resolved by replacing the taynix in use with a new one.{{book ref|sky2|24}}{{book ref|sky2|33}} Engineers can be reluctant to swap in a fresh taynix, though, because doing so leads to a lot of paperwork.{{book ref|sky2|31}}▼
=== Yellow and Blue ===

=== Red and Black ===
Red and black taynix have an ability that greatly resembles a [[mindblade]]; when thinking of a delver, they send out a powerful force in all directions that is capable of injuring humans. They are generally ignored.
=== Purple ===<!--what's the other color?-->
Purple taynix have the ability to communicate cytonically. This communication can be received by traditional technology, however, as [[Platform Prime]] was able to receive [[Cuna
]]'s cytonic transmission without needing a purple taynic.
