THE OZYLY-ESEHEMBO​

OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To create the Chiss force precognition users known as the Ozyly-esehembo
• Image Credit: NationStates
• Role: Members of the Ozyly-esehembo serve as both Force sensitive hyperspace navigators, and oracle-like advisors, for high ranking CEDF officers
• Links: Ozyly-esehembo, navigators, precognition

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: The Ozyly-esehembo [roughly translates to 'Sky-walkers' in Basic]
• Affiliation: Chiss Expansionary Defense Force [Chiss Ascendancy]
• Classification: Fleet navigators & advisors
• Equipment: Ozyly-esehembo robes, Ch'iszacosibi Lifeboats, Ozyly-esehembo Hubs, Chiss Commando personal guards
• Description: The Ozyly-esehembo are young Chiss children and teenagers, ranging in ages from five (5) to fifteen (15), who have been trained solely in the development of their precognition powers. They wear ornate robes, which have neutral hues and patterns, as well as high collars. Due to the rarity of the Ozyly-esehembo, each child is held in regard, and treated with respect. Not only due to their power, but also because of the risk they take by being in potential danger through fleet actions. Every Ozyly-esehembo is generally serious, despite the young ages, though like any group can display individual quirks or personality traits. Because Chiss mature at the age of ten (10), they are considered young adults when they reach that age by their peers, and despite appearing as late teenagers still have the mental acuity and maturity of their fellows.

COMBAT INFORMATION

• Unit Size: Small
• Unit Availability: Rare
• Unit Experience: Elite
• Combat Function: Non-combative Force navigators and advisors to CEDF officers, using their powers in Force precognition to fulfill this function.

Strengths:

• Unparalleled Precognition: The Ozyly-esehembo have supremely advanced and developed Force Precognition, so finely honed that they are able to navigate ships through hyperspace without the use of any navigational systems to support their efforts; they are capable of avoiding space debris, planets, sudden changes in passage availability and other dangers to their ships, while also having uncannily pinpoint precision in their hyperspace trajectories and reversions to real-space.
• Seeing the Future: Due to having such a high capacity for precognition, it is not uncommon for Ozyly-esehembo to exhibit use of closely related powers, such as a basic form of Battle Meditation where they can influence allies to faster reactions [as a result of precognition] and connection to Shatterpoints with intense concentration.
• Faster Than Tech: Put simply, the Ozyly-esehembo can prepare hyperspace jumps exceedingly faster than navigation computers. Unlike the computers, which require time to pre-plot courses and check star charts and update information, the Ozyly-esehembo simply enter hyperspace and begin navigating reflexively. This allows for near unmatched quickness in hyperspace use for the Chiss, compared to other races or technologies.

Weaknesses:

• No Other Force Powers: The Ozyly-esehembo seemingly possess no other Force powers. Their entire connection to the Force only provides supreme levels of precognition/battle precognition and rare displays of shatterpoint connection.
• Too Many Minds: The Ozyly-esehembo can only provide battle precognition to limited numbers of allies, usually around a dozen at once, and therefore must constantly shift their focus to assist a greater number; this ally switching can become very taxing, mentally and physically for the Ozyly-esehembo.
• Many Paths: The future is always in a state of change, and not every vision or event will transpire as foreseen.
• Limited Time Use: The Ozyly-esehembo lose their connections with the Force as they age, to the point that finding a Force sensitive older than fifteen is a very unlikely event. This is due to their Force Precognition effectively burning out their connection to the Force, by sheer levels of power.
• Only The Young: Because of the Force sensitivity decline, most Ozyly-esehembo are exceedingly young, to the point of being children and teenagers. Because Chiss mature at the age of 10, this means most Ozyly-esehembo can be used as navigators from as young as 5, with the upper age groups being dismissed from navigation duty at around age 15.
• Non-Combatant: The Ozyly-esehembo are children. They are non-combatants and are protected when battle occurs, being of little-to-no use outside of navigation or microjump tasks.
• Staying Power: Being young, the Ozyly-esehembo cannot navigate for long periods of time, requiring rests between long hyperspace distances - typically handling a dozen hours 'comfortably'. If haste is required, multiple Ozyly-esehembo must overlap duties to provide relief.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Ozyly-esehembo [roughly translates to 'Sky-walkers' in Basic] are young Chiss, usually female children, that have displayed a singular, unparalleled power and sensitivity to Force Precognition from birth. So powerful are their abilities of precognition, they are able to safely and accurately navigate through hyperspace on vessels, making calculations and adjustments faster than navigation computers. They can also provide a type of Battle Precognition [in essence a very simplistic Battle Meditation state], in which allies can be influenced to have faster reaction times due to precognition prompting. Some also display a connection to shatterpoints, able to see the fault lines from different pathways of actions through the Force. However, as these particular Chiss grow older, their Force connection is effectively burnt out, fading regardless of the training or practice they undertook. Thus, seeing a Ozyly-esehembo over the age of fifteen (15) is impossible.

Originally used by Aristocras - or anyone with influence - within the Chiss Ascendancy, more recent technological developments have changed the intended task of the Ozyly-esehembo to be military-specific. As a result, non-CEDF ships must rely on navigation technology alone. And in more modern times, each member of the Ozyly-esehembo are now taken into military support service and placed under intense training regimens to further develop supreme levels of Force Precognition within the Ascendancy Force Academy. With this power, the Ozyly-esehembo are used to navigate CEDF vessels through hyperspace, microjumps and the Unknown Regions, as well as finding and mapping temporary hyperlanes. Combined with the implementation of Chiss specific navigation equipment in all Chiss ships, this allows the Ozyly-esehembo unprecedented levels of precision and accuracy in navigating vessels, especially compared to the past when no such assistance was used. To further assist with navigation duties for a fleet, the Ozyly-esehembo makes use of an advanced Ozyly-esehembo Hubs, which are installed on all Ozyly-esehembo Lifeboats, and allow for multiple adjustments for multiple craft under their care while in hyperspace.

Due to the rarity of Ozyly-esehembo, each member of the group operates within a secure navigation space away from the bridge, known as Ozyly-esehembo Lifeboats. This area is heavily protected - both commando guards and reinforced shields - while within the larger vessel. It is also capable of ejecting from destroyed or incapacitated ships to preserve the Ozyly-esehembo, becoming a highly defended and speedy escape pod capable of hyperspace travel. Usually in such events, the Ozyly-esehembo and her guard return to Chiss space immediately, avoiding all combat entirely and leaving any remaining friendly CEDF vessels to use onboard navigation technology.

Because of how rare the Ozyly-esehembo are, any member of the group is treated with the utmost respect, and each is under constant guard by a pair of Chiss Commandos. Any older member of the Ozyly-esehembo are given higher social status and a very comfortable living at the CEDF's expense for the remainder of their life, similar to that of a celebrity in most cultures. This is due to being put into danger from such a young age, and proving their worth to Chiss society with their service. Some stay on in military service, while others simply enjoy a life of luxury.

It's important to mention that Chiss Viziters, other rare Chiss with the Force, are not limited to a single ability like the Ozyly-esehembo; the Viziters display more common Force sensitivity, like in other races, and are able to use a variety of Force powers without suffering the same burn out decline in Force connection. The Ozyly-esehembo are a very specific, very special type of Force user, wholly dedicated to Force Precognition.
