Psi-Syndica
The Psi-Syndica is a Recidivist organisation on Necromunda, that deals in trafficking Unsanctioned psykers,[1a][2a] such as Mind-locked Wyrds.[1b]
Description
This hidden network of powerful individuals excels in finding, capturing, training, selling, or creating psykers. This group pretends to be a religious cult but actually awakens psychic potential in initiates using methods like the illicit drug Ghast, ultimately imprisoning and selling the survivors.[2a]
Many members are psykers themselves, adept at evading detection and subduing others. These groups, uninterested in sedition or dark worship, are highly dangerous, supported by thrall wyrds, and avoided by other criminal organisations.[2a]
They often hide within other organisations, honing their skills in psycho-surgery and psychic enhancement. Rumours suggest Psi-Syndica infiltrations within Clan Houses, underhive settlements, and Guilder families. Their identities remain largely legendary, such as the elusive Church of Esoterica.[2a]
Confronting psykers is unpredictable and risky, prompting even dominant criminal networks to purge any ties to the Psi-Syndica. To combat these criminals, House Helmawr employs savage psi-hounds, elite bounty hunters, and Subjugator units. The Imperium mandates the identification and control of all psykers, a duty Lord Helmawr strictly enforces.[2a]
Psykers are of particular interest to House Delaque, and many of their gangs and agents either buy the Psi-Syndica's wares or provide it with raw material[1a].[2a]
