The civil authority of Sector Alpha Crucis is located in Catawrayannis on Llynathawr which the Terran Empire bought from its Cynthian discoverers. Elsewhere in the History:
there are references to the treetop trade routes of the squirrel-like Cynthians;
a Cynthian is the xenobiologist in Nicholas van Rijn's first trade pioneer crew, led by David Falkayn;
a Cynthian represents the Supermetals company founded by David Falkayn;
there is a Cynthian in the Terran Navy during its attack on Avalon, the colony founded by David Falkayn;
Falkayn and Djana leave Irumclaw in a Cynthian ship;
there is a Cynthian-run inn and a Cynthian settlement on Daedalus.
Ryellians are expert telepaths in the Terran Empire but Aycharaych is able to conceal his superior mental powers from them.

Kaor, Paul!
If the Empire had already known about the telepathic abilities of Chereionites that Ryellian might have been able to unmask Aycharaych, due to having a better idea of where to probe and what to test.
Ad astra! Sean
And of course his telepathic powers aren't 'natural'; they're the result of genetic engineering in a very old and very advanced civilization.
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
A good point, one I should have included in my comment above.
Ad astra! Sean
