Containment and prevention of widespreadknowledge or contact with the civilian population is considered crucial.*'''Extremis''': Lethal threat 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.
