{{InquisitionPortal}}
The '''Ordo Calixis''' is an Order of the [[Inquisition]], presumably operating in the [[Calixis Sector]]. It is known to have its own unique brand of [[Bolt Pistol]] manufactured on [[Scintilla]] for them, the [[Sacristan Bolt Pistol]].{{Fn|1}}
==Threat Rating==
The Ordo Calixis uses a special scale to classify threats to the Imperium both in origin and in scale:{{Fn|2}}
===Threat Designation===
*'''Hereticus''': Heretics, criminals, rebels, mutants, witches and associated material.
*'''Xenos''': Alien species and technology, as well as humans influenced by them.
*'''Malleus''': Warp-born or infused beings.
*'''Obscuro''': Unknown, or falls outside the other categories. Also covers dangers caused by Archeotech.
===Grade of Threat===
*'''Minima''': Minimal threat in small numbers, only likely to injure lonely, weak or unprepared individuals.
*'''Minoris''': Dangerous in numbers. Local issue unless particularly numerous or combined to greater forces.
*'''Majoris''': Constitutes a considerable physical or moral threat to a civilian population, hazardous to Imperial
agents and in large numbers can require specialised or mass forces to neutralise. Containment and prevention of widespread
knowledge or contact with the civilian population is considered crucial.
*'''Extremis''': Lethal treath warranting the most powerful of responses, able to endanger whole worlds if left unchecked,
and to have wider implications for the Imperium if not locally confined.
*'''Terminus''': Serious losses expected during confrontation, can only be eliminated with extreme prejudice. If widespread, entrenched or
accelerating in severity, every option to contain it must be envisaged, including Exterminatus.
