Receptive Telepathy, a Force power rooted in the Sense category, granted Force users the capability to delve into the minds of others, perceiving their thoughts and experiencing their feelings. In certain instances, a practitioner could even probe the target's past experiences to extract particular details. This ability was more readily applied to those with whom the Force user shared a strong emotional connection; conversely, some, particularly fellow Force-sensitives, possessed the means to actively defend against this intrusion. While effective on beings of various kinds, employing it on members of different species could present challenges in understanding the information gleaned, particularly if their emotional processes diverged significantly.
