The Conflict
The war pits non-telepathic humans ("mundanes") and rogue telepaths against the Psi Corps. The Psi Corps attempts to take over the Earth Alliance government, a chain of events set in motion by President Clark's positioning of telepaths in stations of authority they would not have otherwise achieved. The Psi Corps also runs a number of concentration camps to "re-educate" the rogues they capture, and kills civilians who have sheltered rogue telepaths. John Sheridan and the Interstellar Alliance intervene in the situation. The normal humans and rogue telepaths win this war, although there are many casualties (including Lyta Alexander and Lennier).

Famous quotes containing the word conflict:
“Journey to Gethsemane, go and feel the tempter’s power;
Your Redeemer’s conflict see, watch the anguish of this hour;
Do not hide or turn away: learn from Jesus how to pray.”
—James Montgomery (1771–1854)
“This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory. It would break through the ban of chastity, it would emerge—if in a form so altered as to be unrecognizable.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
