The '''Tenasitenasi''' are a race of aliens and, at the time of ''[[Starsight]]'', one of the five main species of the [[Superiority]]. They discovered [[cytonics]] just after beginning to use steam power, and, like all other alien species known to humankind, quickly refocused their efforts on developing their cytonic powers. At some point, they discovered how to suppress cytonic abilities and began using that power to lock away any discontents, which resulted in themtheir being considered to be of Primaryprimary Intelligenceintelligence.{{book ref|Elysium}}

In the days before it was due to go bankrupt, the [[Phone Company]] got a few "squeaks" through its prototype cytonic communication machine. Those noises attracted the attention of the tenasi, who sent a response -- Earth's first contact with an alien species -- and dispatched a ship to make contact. As such, they are the first alien race encountered by humankind.{{book ref|Elysium}}

In what became known as the ''tenasi incident'', theira tenasi diplomatic vessel, which was one of the most powerful non-human ships in the galaxy at thatthe time (other than the human ones), was accidentally shot down by Thethe [[United Governments]] military, making for an embarrassing firstsecond contact. The humans, however, were unaware that this was the most powerful alien ship and the Phone Company stepped in with its cytonic technology to negotiate a peace. The result was the [[Tenasi Agreement]], which, in return for the peace settlement, made the Phone Company entirely above the law, gave it exclusive rights to all alien FTL communication technology, and granted it the right to function as the sole intermediaries between aliens and humankind.{{book ref|Elysium}}
