What would be the Trade equivalent of 'God' or 'deity'? Just soia?

My best guess: "Leneda-Niitos" ("Spirit-Above") or some derivation thereof.

[...] I think that the Umiak have either found or were given some psi-jamming Soia device. Unfortunately, it only jams the "optimized and streamlined" telepathy of the Loroi, not the Human original. This will enable our protagonist to play an important role. Just a wild-eyed guess, but maybe those ...

No.  Neither do humans. But maybe we, I mean the Humans in your story, actually do? A tiny bit of our dormant telepathic abilities could be leaking out, creating the alleged "Sixth sense".  This would certainly explain all that paranormal stuff.  [...] "All that paranormal stuff" can easily be debu...

I forgot to add this to my previous post... Q10: Do Loroi have "Scopaesthesia", which is the (alleged) sense of being watched or stared at?

Q6: Have the phhysics of senzai been worked out?  I am wondering if something like the inverse-square law applies.

@Arioch: This is my first post on your website. I hope that it is in the appropriate thread. Q1: I see you are familiar with the GURPS RPG system. Are you also familiar with the Traveller RPG system?
