== The Immunisation ==


Aaru life is a precious commodity that will not normally put at risk, with one exception; Psionics. Since the early days of rebuilding, the majestic twelve have decreed ‘The Immunisation’ requiring that Psionicists and Psionic creatures and users either be sent to Aeon for re-education or eradicated from the face of the planet (the Aalu have been excepted). The Aaru fear that remnants of the disease that destroyed their former culture may have survived the Sundering and that the removal of psionic users from the world will nullify key capabilities of those diseased to destroy them.

All Aaru citizens are aware that psionic power use must be reported to central council, though only a handful know what happens next. Over the last millennium the Aaru special forces have become adept at hunting down individuals, and the families of individuals, that exhibit Psionic power. Often turning up shortly after a Psionic child is born to take it for re-education and then return it some weeks later. Despite their extreme discretion and attempts to frame the Unseelie for these disappearances their ‘immunisation’ policy has generated a certain amount of animosity towards the Aaru, indeed folklore often unfairly blames the Aaru for still births, crop damage, dead livestock and other mysterious disappearances.
