The [[Imperium]] measures and records the psionic activity and power level of [[psychic]] individuals through a rating system called '''The Assignment'''{{Fn|1}} or ''Imperial assignment'''. {{Fn|10}} Comprised of a twenty-four point scale, The Assignment simplifies the comparison of psykers to aid Imperial authorities in recognizing possible threats.{{Fn|1}}

| Psionically-dense individuals who are oblivious to warp fluctuations and psychic probing. The range of this ability varies, with the highest class being just deemed 'blunt' to some psionic effects, the lowest class being extremely resistant to effects of psychic activity, yet still considered ''touchable '' by a measurable extreme degree of psionic power.{{Fn|1}} These grades generally qualify someone to be a crew member of a [[League of Black Ships|Black Ship]].
