The Progenitors, an alien race with past ties to Planet, return to reclaim their heritage. Progenitor Psych is
nothing more than a simple understanding of the aliens' culture, language, and aims. Humans cannot talk to either
alien faction until they discover Progenitor Psych, or until the Progenitors discover Social Psych (B1). Humans
discover this tech by studying alien ruins, artifacts, or prisoners.
The Progenitor race can sense and manipulate local fields an untrained human cannot perceive without mechanical
aid, including electricity and magnetism. Built on an understanding of Progenitor Psych (E1) and Centauri
Ecology (E1), the discovery of Field Modulation allows trained and equipped individuals to detect and perform
basic manipulations of these 'resonance fields'.
Adaptive Doctrine combines Polymorphic Software (D2) and Doctrine: Flexibility (E2) into a new military
philosophy. This philosophy strives to match a doctrine to each battlefield, rather than trying to making one
supreme doctrine for all possible environments.
Sentient Resonance is a further extension of Bioadaptive Resonance (C4) and Centauri Psi (E8) that allows the
creation of self-aware resonance fields.
Planet is only one of the grand experiments, or Manifolds, seeded throughout the galaxy by the Progenitor
forebears. Discovery of the Secrets of the Manifolds allows the perception and contact of these other Planetary
Manifolds. This technology is based on an understanding of Sentient Resonance (C9) and Secrets of Alpha Centauri
(D12).
