space. Apparently, they are able to mentally probe space and manipulate its forces, creating a sort of invisible vortex that bends the fabric of space, they are able to project themselves great distances in a matter of minutes (a form of dimensional shifting that, to this day, remains a mystery). Having never known war or betrayal, the Phi-Warpers fell easy prey to the Mechanoid's treachery. Psionically neutralized, millions of Phi-Warpers were captured and subjected to genetic reconstruction and after a century of painstaking genetic experimentation, the new Phi-Warpers were ready to take their place in the Mechanoid world. The Warpers' once large, powerful bodies have been reduced to shrunken, tailless stumps. One arm has been transformed into a spindly dwarf appendage, while the other is monstrously giant and as weak and ineffectual as the dwarf. Their keen vision was lost to tiny, far-set eyes which left them nearly blind. Drugged and placed into special life support canisters, they became the key components of the Mechanoids warp drive. Their minds were swept clean of cluttering thought and were controlled and stimulated by the Warp drive mechanism, activated only by the flow of coordinates and the pulse of energy required to Warp. For now, the Phi-Warpers live as catatonic slaves to Mechanoids in a hell-spawned device. Those that escape the tyrannical rule of their robotic masters have an extremely difficult time adapting to the real world.
