Mssr Sprange,
How soon before we see it at Mongoose outlets like DTRPG.com? I live in the "sticks" as we refer to the countryside here, and a FLGS doesn't exist within decent driving time (over an hour away).

Had a Zhodani in our regular campaign for many years. We didn't wig out over having a psion in the group as several of the group were "retired" high end Imperial Intel types who knew the reality behind the Imperial attitudes and included at least one psion in addition to the Zhodani fellow. Never got the whole back story, but gathered that he and they were in sort of a mutual familiarization game. Of course, it meant we got strange looks for travelling with him (ethnic Zhodani aren't unknown in the Marches, but they aren't common), but his trade-off was knowing he had extensive "de-briefing" to face once he went home.
Hilarity ensued. Zhodani sense of humor vs Imperial, ideosyncratic language differences, and his very gradually getting used to the constant low level of "little white lies" in Imperial spech patterns all led to fun times at the table.

Yes, a long time ago. The setting was a planet in the Outrim Void with aIanBruntlett said:
human population which developed minor psionic abilities, which caused
the Imperium to declare their planet a red zone, so they had to turn to
the Zhodani for help, and the Zhodani secretly sent a team of specialists
to boost the planet's development and to train the inhabitants in the use
of their psionic abilities - and to eliminate the Imperial covert agents on
the planet, of course.
The player characters were agents of CORE, the "Consulary Office of Re-
connaissance and Exploration" (read: another very secret secret service
operating outside of the Consulate), which was somewhat similar to the
SORAG of the Vanguard Reaches, but specialized in more or less covert
operations on low technology worlds (there is a short article about our
CORE in an old issue of the White Dwarf).
If you know the novel "Hard to Be a God" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky
you probably can imagine the "feel" of the campaign.
Thinking of it, that campaign has changed my view of the Zhodani, since
"my time as a member of CORE" I have a lot more sympathy for them
than for those barbarian braindead Imperials ...
