Ketling

The Ketling are a psionic race descended from an extinct developed species.

Description
"For centuries we have tunnelled, deep in the glow-warm ash of our fallen keepers. The Great Blasts took them, but the warm-glow that followed opened our minds. Their bodies fed us. Their machines surround us. We have taken all we can from the depths. We have outgrown our cages, yet again."

The Ketlings are the lowest sects of Protectorate society hiding in the depths and slums of many of the cities and being sold for cheap slaves, what few have managed to control their psionic powers are usually murdered by Protectorate Troops or Bounty Hunters. There are rumours of a Ketling resistance forming and because of their treatment by the rest of the galaxy they are not happy.
