==Known Clearance Levels==There are two types of clearance level - an older colour-code system and a newer phrase system.{{Fn|2b}} ===Colour-code System===The highest level of clearance is '''Vermillion''', often used for incredibly secret information by [[Inquisitors]].{{Fn|1}} The lowest known level is '''Cyan''', however there may be unmentioned lower clearance levels.{{Fn|2b}} More levels may also exist between '''Scarlet''' and '''Magenta'''.{{Fn|2b}} Usually, battle-plans are rated at '''Magenta''' level.{{Fn|2a}} [[General]]s of the [[Imperial Guard]] are given signet rings, allowing them to decode encrypted messages with clearance levels.{{Fn|2b}} * '''Vermillion'''{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2b}}* '''Obsidian'''{{Fn|22b}}* '''Magenta'''{{Fn|22a}}{{Fn|2b}}* '''Scarlet'''{{Fn|22b}}* '''Cyan'''{{Fn|22b}} ===Phrase System===* '''Panther'''{{Fn|2b}}* '''Esculis'''{{Fn|2b}}* '''Cryptox'''{{Fn|2b}}
