Difference between revisions of "Tenasi"

The '''tenasi''' are a race of aliens and, at the time of ''[[Starsight]]'', one of the five main species of the [[Superiority]]. They discovered [[cytonics]] just after beginning to use steam power, and, like all other alien species known to humankind, quickly refocused their efforts on developing their cytonic powers. At some point, they discovered how to suppress cytonic abilities and began using that power to lock away any discontents, which resulted in their being considered to be of primary intelligence.{{book ref|Elysium}}

 

In the days before it was due to go bankrupt, the [[Phone Company]] heard a few squeaks through its prototype cytonic communication machine. Those noises attracted the attention of the tenasi, who sent a response -- Earth's first contact with an alien species -- and dispatched a ship to make contact. As such, they are the first alien race encountered by humankind.{{book ref|Elysium}}
