'''Psions''' are a race of psychically-powered beings who were conquered and enslaved by the [[Cabal]]<ref>[http://imgur.com/a/bv7y8 '''Imgur''' - ''Newsweek Destiny Collector's Edition August 19, 2014'']</ref> in the hopes of weaponizing their abilities.

===''Destiny''===

Psions will be able to send forth a damaging wave of psionic energy that travels across the ground, as well as a point-blank psionic attack at melee range. These attacks deal [[Arc]] (or electrical) damage, signifying their power over mind and (potentially) machine. Certain Psions are known to channel [[Void]] and [[Solar]] power, though this is restricted to certain enemies such as Flayers. Psions become much more dangerous during [[Nightfall]] Strikes, as they acquire a Void shield.

Psions are basic Cabal units, and the ones with the lowest health. Compared to similar troops in other races, like [[Dreg]]s, Psions are not used as cannon fodder, but as support and infiltrator units. While the main Cabal units like [[Legionaries]] and [[Phalanx]]es engage the enemy head on, Psions will hide and flank the opponents, in order to catch them off guard with their powerful psychic abilities.
