Githyanki (Race)

Githyanki are lanky, yellow-skinned humanoids dwelling in the Astral Plane. As a result of their long period of enslavement and manipulation by the Mind Flayers, all githyanki possess one or more Psionic Ability powers including minor telekinesis and some are even capable of innately casting jump and misty step. After eventually developing mental resistance to their masters' mind control, the slaves revolted, causing the fall of the illithid empire. They became violent, ruthless pillagers and raiders of many worlds in the Prime Material Plane.
In Baldurs Gate 2, they attack the ship of Gorions Ward returning from Spellhold, because their holy silver sword was stolen. A part of the sword, the silver blade, was given to Gorions Ward by smuggler captain Saemon Havarian. Gorions Ward encounter Githyanki several times, can loot the second part (the silver hilt) and let blacksmith Cromwell forge the sword anew.
