The Imperium grants home rule, it allows home rule, but make no mistake that that in itelf is a display of theri auhority and total control, it can take that away with the movement of a fleet (and sometime is).Then, too, the Imperium governs trade between the stars and leaves worlds to govern themselves (as long as they don’t get in the way of TRADE). I would imagine that PSIONICS would be similar … a local matter (variable from world to world) until and unless you interfere with TRADE. Then the Imperium falls on you like a Marine Assault Division.
As to psionics, every world in the Imperium received the same brainwashing, they all share the mindset. My quote came from The traveller Adventure. Those are the laws as found in library data.
