:One would assume someone at GW thought it would be funny to name them this, as it is a fairly random name in itself. Otherwise it may well be random luck, but that seems too unlikely. I doubt the Tau, if they named themselves, knew of the Imperial psychic connotations.--[[User:Jonru|Jonru]] 20:45, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
::Hmmmm. If I recall correctly, the first encounter with the Tau was supposedly by Rogue Trader fleets who encountered them. They were scheduled to be wiped out, saved by a Warp storm that randomly showed up. Perhaps they overheard the term and the name was... adapted by them? Curious. --[[User:Lygris|Lygris]] 20:54, 19 September 2008 (CEST)
==Alpha Plus==
Regarding this particular passage: ''"Alpha-Plus psykers can, however, be of great benefit to the Imperium if detected early. A collection of the greatest Imperial servants are reported to have been Alpha-Plus; including Gideon Ravenor, and Brother-Captain Stern."''
I know for certain that Ravenor is not Alpha Plus (he is Delta), but I cannot find any source of Stern being an Alpha Plus. It seems unlikely that such an uncontrollable individual as an Alpha Plus would be able to advance to such a high rank as a Grey Knight. Can anyone verify the source or should I remove the passage? --[[User:Cherubael|Cherubael]] 06:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
