An advanced field of research and development in its infancy that was established in the early 2000s. The field focuses on the study of souls and how they can be manipulated with modern technology and magic. Its a field shrouded in secrecy as only few organizations are aware of its existence and only a few dozen researchers and engineers are working on the posed problems.
The study of the soul is a very old scholarly endeavour by those who do not have any moral qualms about the nature of souls. The research builds on a number of publications that are several centuries old and partially lost as the basis for the field. Attempts to harness the power of souls or manipulate their nature have been going on for a very long time.

Fundamental Principles

The soul is a metaphysical phenomena that is present in all humans on Earth. This phenomena can be sensed by certain gifted individiuals, can be detected by

Control & Proliferation

As this technology is very powerful and dangerous the factions with access to it are committed to prevent uncontrolled proliferation. The involved factions are Lytton Arms, the Legion of Glory and the Hunter's Guild.
A treaty between them ensures that this technology is only used for very specific cases and may not be shared with or sold to unaffiliated factions. The treaty does not apply to peaceful uses of related technologies. The Legion of Glory has a general permission to use harmful or even deadly soul tech off world in other dimensions. Many of the enemies there are very powerful and are a threat to humanity. The Hunter's Guild uses soul tech in their soul prisons which they use to lock up very dangerous individuals that cannot be killed or are at least very hard to kill.
Only high level executives, involved soul tech researchers and engineers and soul tech operators as necessary are even aware of this treaty.

Theory

There are many different theories and hypothesies surrounding souls and what is possible to do with them. Many of these theories have very little experimentation if any at all as the soul is a difficult thing to just mess with.
One of the most discussed issues is what a soul is made out of. The two most widely considered theories are that soul is either pure energy and the other postulates soul essence. Neither of the these theory have been proven in experiments as it has not been possible to find any sensor that can measure the presence of either of these two forms. Only very few supernatural creatures and humans can sense the presence of a soul and so far nobody has managed to synthesize this detection ability or even explain it.
