The Imperium measures and records the psionic activity and power level of psychic individuals through a rating system called The Assignment or Imperial assignment. Comprised of a twenty-four point scale, The Assignment simplifies the comparison of psykers to aid Imperial authorities in recognizing possible threats. Classifications are made by the Scholastica Psykana.
帝国通过一个名为分级或帝国分级的评级系统来测量和记录灵能个体的灵能活动和力量水平。分级由由二十四点量表组成，简化了灵能者的比较，以帮助帝国当局识别可能的威胁。分类是由灵能学院做出的。
Overview 概述
Beings which utilize psychic powers, or psykers, exist within many of the races residing within the galaxy. Human psykers, eldar warlocks and ork weirdboyz all fall into this category. Beings such as daemons of the warp are made of purely psychic energies. There are species, like the tau, which are devoid of psykers or psychic powers. There are even beings which could be called anti-psykers, human blanks and necron pariahs. Due to their use in the armies of Man and their relative abundance in the Imperium's enemies, the Imperium has devised a way to classify all psykers it may come across. The average Homo Sapiens Imperial is judged to have an assignment rating of Rho or Pi. These individuals cannot consciously or subconsciously draw power from the Immaterium and are not able to become possessed without outside psychic influence. As the vast majority of mankind falls into this assignment level, the common imperial citizen poses little psychic security threat.
使用灵能力量的生物，或灵能者，存在于银河系内的许多种族中。人类灵能者、灵族战巫和欧克怪异小子都属于这一类。像亚空间的恶魔这样的存在是由纯粹的灵能能量组成的。有些物种，如钛，缺乏灵能者或灵能力量。甚至有些生物可以被称为反灵能者、人类空白者和死灵遗弃者。由于它们在人类军队中的使用以及在帝国敌人中的相对丰富，帝国设计了一种方法来对可能遇到的所有灵能者进行分类。平均帝国智人种被认为具有ρ或π的分级。这些人不能有意识或无意识地从非物质界中汲取力量，也不能在没有外界灵能影响的情况下被附身。由于绝大多数人类都处于这种分级水平，普通的帝国公民几乎不会对灵能安全构成威胁。
Nevertheless, uncommon individuals are birthed every day with assignment ratings exceeding Pi. By imperial edict, these men and women are to be discovered and brought to the attention of the Inquisition to protect against harmful psychic events. With the multitude of threats besieging the Imperium, however, it is only truly practical to investigate those suspected of Iota level talent or greater.
然而，每天都有不寻常的人出生，他们的分级超过了π。根据帝国法令，这些男女将被发现并提请审判庭注意，以防止有害的灵能事件。然而，在帝国面临众多威胁的情况下，调查那些被怀疑具有ι级或更高天赋的人才是真正可行的。
In the rarest of all cases, the twenty-four point scale of the assignment does not adequately characterize a being of indescribable ability. Such individuals, for all intents and purposes, pass beyond the scale entirely. These subjects are known as belonging to a “plus” scale or a “reversed” scale, since the standard grading's naming convention is reversed. When uncontained, plus psykers represent an immediate and catastrophic threat to the Imperium. In theory, there is nothing that a trained plus psyker cannot accomplish through force of will, from snapping a Titan in half to summoning a legion of Greater Daemons. A rogue plus psyker represents a great danger, and the Ordo Hereticus of the Inquisition considers them among the greatest threats they can face. Their souls are poetically said to burn akin to supernovae within the Empyrean, a beacon for daemons flocking and vying for the right to possess their unguarded minds.
在最罕见的情况下，分级的二十四点量表并不能充分描述一个无法形容的能力。无论出于何种目的，这些人都完全超越了规模。这些对象被称为属于“加”量表或“反”量表，由于标准分级的命名规范是颠倒的。当不受控制时，加上灵能者对帝国构成了直接和灾难性的威胁。从理论上讲，没有什么是训练有素的灵能者不能通过意志力完成的，从将泰坦撕成两半到召集一支大魔军团。行为失常加上灵能者代表着巨大的危险，审判庭的讨逆修会认为他们是他们可能面临的最大威胁之一。他们的灵魂被诗意地说成是像超新星一样在至高天中燃烧，这是恶魔蜂拥而至，争夺占据无防备思想的权利的信标。
Although rarely used, precise terminology for a negative psionic carries a "-Minus" at the end; a psionic of negative class Omega is thus properly called an Omega-Minus psyker.
虽然很少使用，但反灵能的精确术语末尾带有“-减”；因此，反欧米伽级灵能者被恰当地称为欧米伽减灵能者。
The grading of an individual can change over time. It is not uncommon for a psyker to unlock greater levels of power as they continue to practice, grow, and mature. For example, a delta level psyker might become a gamma or even beta over their career as a Sanctioned Psyker. This warrants subsequent reclassification to more accurately reflect their burgeoning powers.
个人的分级会随着时间的推移而变化。灵能者在继续练习、成长和成熟的过程中释放更高等级的力量并不罕见。例如，在作为合法灵能者的职业生涯中，德尔塔级灵能者可能会成为伽玛甚至贝塔级灵能者。这要求随后进行重新分类，以更准确地反映他们激增的力量。
List of psionic levels 灵能等级列表
The below lists denotes the points of the Assignment, with their provided description. Numbers in brackets are not associated with the approved terminology, and exists within the table to illustrate a cardinal order of the terms, with 0 denoting the first psionically inert level, negative numbers indicating negative psionic levels, and numbers with plus indicating plus scale levels.
以下列表表示分级点及其提供的描述。括号中的数字与被正式认可的术语无关，存在于表中以说明术语的基本顺序，0表示第一个灵能惰性等级，负数表示反灵能等级，带加号的数字表示正刻度等级。
Omega (Ω)(-7) - Usually referred to as Untouchables (also known as blanks or pariahs). These individuals are so inert in the Warp as to actually exhibit negative psychic influence upon others. Primarily manifested as a small region of “blankness” surrounding the individual, it is impossible for psychic powers or warp creatures to penetrate this space. Imperial science has shown the dead area surrounding the subject interferes with natural electrical-mental functions. This often results in irrational fear and loathing for the individual from baseline humans. For psykers, however, they are physically and mentally painful to be near. This is the grade of Sisters of Silence, Culexus Assassins, Preceptors-Intendant of the Ordo Sinister, and Solitaires
欧米伽级 - 通常被称为不可接触者（也称为空白者或遗弃者）。这些人在亚空间中是如此的惰性，以至于实际上对他人表现出负面的灵能影响。主要表现为个体周围的一小块“空白”区域，灵能力量或亚空间生物不可能穿透这个空间。帝国科学表明，对象周围的死区会干扰自然的电-心理功能。这通常会导致对普通人类个体的非理性恐惧和厌恶。然而，对于灵能者来说，靠近他们在身体和精神上都很痛苦。这是寂静修女，邱利萨斯刺客，噩兆修会的监督者导师和独角的等级
Psi (Ψ)(-6)/Chi (Χ)(-5)/Phi (Φ)(-4)/Upsilon (Υ)(-3)/Tau (Τ)(-2)/Sigma (Σ)(-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. These grades generally qualify someone to be a crew member of a Black Ship.
普西/凯/斐/宇普西隆/陶/西格玛级 - 灵能密度高的个体，在亚空间波动和灵能探测中不可见。这种能力的范围各不相同，最高等级的人被认为对某些灵能效果“迟钝”，最低等级的人对灵能活动的影响极为抵抗，但仍被认为可以通过可度量的极端灵能力量程度进行触碰。这些等级通常使某人有资格成为黑船的船员。
Rho (Ρ)(0) - No manifestation of psychic talent (common human being).
柔级 - 没有灵能天赋的表现（普通人）。
Pi (Π)(1) - Second of the two so-called inert psychic levels. Possesses, however, some degree of psionic power. The manifestations are so insignificant that if they happen to be noticed they are quickly denounced as "good luck" or a pretension to a sixth sense.
派级 - 两个所谓的惰性灵能等级中的第二个。然而，它拥有一定程度的灵能。这些表现是如此微不足道，以至于如果它们碰巧被注意到，它们很快就会被谴责为“好运”或自称拥有第六感。
Omicron (Ο)(2)/Xi (Ξ)(3)/Nu (Ν)(4)/Mu (Μ)(5)/Lambda (Λ)(6)/Kappa (Κ)(7)/ - Unconscious and minor level of psionic brain activity, of which the individuals and their surroundings are often unaware unless put to examination. Although these classes are technically by law under the jurisdiction of the Inquisition, it is logistically unfeasible to examine every suspicion of them in the wider galaxy. An example psyker of this grade is Mortanna Shroud, who is a Lambda.
奥密克戎/克西/纽/缪/兰姆达/卡帕级 - 无意识和轻微的灵能脑部活动，除非接受检查，否则个体及其周围环境通常不会意识到。尽管这些等级在法律上受审判庭的管辖，在更广阔的星系中，对每一个可疑者都进行调查在逻辑上并不可行。这个等级的灵能者的一个例子是莫尔坦纳·肖德，他是兰姆达级。
Iota (Ι)(8)/Theta (Θ)(9)/Eta (Η)(10) - As the individual is able to control abilities with effort, subjects of Iota level and higher are true psykers and upon discovery are usually immediately put under the care of the Inquisition and the League of Black Ships, unless they have a legal excuse not to be, such as having already been recruited into a Space Marine chapter as an acolytum.
约塔/西塔/伊塔级 - 由于个人能够通过努力控制能力，因此约塔级别以及更高级别的对象是真正的灵能者，一旦被发现，通常会立即由审判庭和黑船联盟关注，除非他们有合法的理由不这样做，例如已经被招募到星际战士战团担任侍僧。
Zeta (Ζ)(11)/Epsilon (Ε)(12) - Very high level of mental psychic activity. Most Imperial worlds rarely produce more than a few nascent psykers every decade, let alone more than a couple with the raw potential to reach zeta or epsilon class with proper training. An example psyker of this grade is Calumny Faal, who is a Zeta. But their powers are growing through practice, prompting the need for reclassification.
泽塔/艾普西隆级 - 非常高的灵能活动水平。大多数帝国行星每十年也难得出现几个新生的灵能者， 更不用说那些经过适当训练后，具备达到泽塔或艾普西隆级潜力的了。这个等级的灵能者的一个例子是泽塔级的卡勒姆尼·法尔。但他们的力量在练习中不断增长，这促使他们需要重新分类。
Delta (Δ)(13)/Gamma (Γ)(14)/Beta (Β)(15)/Alpha (Α)(16) - Occurring in approximately one-per-billion human births. Example psykers of this grade include Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor, both of whom were high Delta or low Gamma (and not necessarily the same grade as each other). Agun Soric was Beta grade, and Esarhaddon was an Alpha.
德尔塔/伽马/贝塔/阿尔法级 - 大约每十亿人中就有一人诞生。这种等级的灵能者包括格雷戈·艾森霍恩和吉迪恩·拉文诺，他们都是高德尔塔或低伽玛（不一定是同一等级）。阿贡·索里克是贝塔级，以撒哈顿是阿尔法级。
Alpha Plus(17+) - First of and numerically almost synonymous with "plus" scale, still occurring the rarest in relation to all previous cases. Their state of mind always comes with a perceivable level of dementation or insanity. Examples of this grade include the rogue psykers known as the Apex Twins, as well as the Burning Princess.
阿尔法加级 - 第一种，在数字上几乎与“+”量表同义，在所有以前的实例中仍然是最罕见的。他们的精神状态总是伴随着明显的痴呆或疯狂。这个等级的例子包括被称为顶点双子的非法灵能者，以及燃烧公主。
Beta Plus(18+) - Assumed to be the highest a human brain can withstand and be in possession of a fading semblance of sanity.
贝塔加级 - 被认为是人类大脑所能承受的最高水平，并且拥有逐渐消失的理智。
Gamma Plus(19+) - The highest registered psionic human level to date. It is more widely achievable by some unspecified alien species and daemons, but not even they are known to exceed this rank.
伽马加级 - 迄今为止记录的最高灵能人类等级。一些未指明的异型物种和恶魔可以更广泛地实现这一目标，但即使是它们也没有超过这个等级。
Delta Plus(20+)/Epsilon Plus(21+)/ - Never measured classifications, remaining only theoretical.
德尔塔加/艾普西隆加级 - 从未测量过该分类，只停留在理论层面。
Zeta Plus(22+) - Considered the highest living tissue can sustain.
泽塔加级 - 被认为是最高的活体组织可以维持。
Eta Plus(23+)···Omega Plus(40+) - Levels considered requiring a being's mind to rely on non-corporeal structures for the being to survive.
伊塔加···欧米伽加 - 被认为需要一个人的思维依赖于非物质结构才能生存的水平。
