The Republican College of Navigators is the single school of psionicists in the Republic of Nelmachh. It is not very heavy into the training of psychic warriors, and those that are there are trained as marines whose must also have back up training as navigators.
The College was once a very powerful trade guild in the Republic, but has fallen on hard times since no trading partners reachable by sea were known in this new world until the discovery of the Koryni League and Kur-Dingir. To generate income, the College has moved into some areas that, in the view of the Republican Brotherhood of Teamsters, Carters, Haulers and Wainwrights, has infringed on the Brotherhood's traditional jobs, leading to the occassional violent encounter. The College also supplements its income by selling protection items crafted with the use of their psionics.
The College of Navigators is viewed with suspicion by the Mysterium. This form of magic is closed to the Mysterium, and they are not sure how to apply to the benefit of the Republic. As the College's name implies, however, it is chartered directly by the Republic, so the Mysterium is limited in its means of dealing with the College.
