Psyche
Definition
The name of a biological computer
(a form of alien technology)
created by Mentor,
in an attempt to restore his dying planet of
Psychon.
Like much on Psychon, it is about
molecular transformation,
in its case an attempt to transform Psychon
"back into the beautiful world it once was."

Details
- Is able to transform things. As shown in the episode, included:
rock into ball of energy,
rock into ship (apparently a real ship while in that form),
ship into ball of energy,
Alphan stun guns into rock.
As discussed in the episode, included the possibility
of restoring Psychon.
- Uses
molecular transformation
as a long-distance weapon
(e.g. explosively transforming lunar rock,
bulkheads, or Eagles).
- Apparently creates
various force fields
on Psychon.
- Presents other computer interfaces,
such as sensors, viewscreens, and read-outs?
(Or is that a separate system?)
- Apparently handles more mundane systems as well,
such as remote-controlled doors.
(Or is that a separate system?)
- Jams Alphan communication
attempts on Psychon?
- When Psyche was destroyed, Psychon was destroyed a short
time later.
This is perhaps evidence Psyche is strongly threaded
throughout Psychon by the time the
Alphans arrived.
- Both
Mentor and
Maya
control it via controls on the computer.
- Maya's pendant apparently controls some functions remotely
(e.g. doors, the force field at front of the confinement cell).
- Unverified: Something Mentor wears has some form of access as well?
