Does anyone know what the clearance level orders are? or know any articles I can get a link to? Something tells me that in several hundred issues of white dwarf it would have been discussed somewhere, but who has time to read all those? (let alone buy them)
Clearance level magenta
I'd assume there are no uniform clearence levels. Outgame, they're most likely made up on the spot by using some important sounding words - which of course leaves us with the question whether an Alpha-Clearance is better or worse than an Omega-Clearance.
I'm not sure myself but it seems that most clearances use variants of the colors red and purple. Magneta, Crimson, Vermillion, etc. Inquisitor Eisenhorn's Rosette had Magneta clearance so it's safe to assume that that is really high, though the way it was written ("up to magneta") sounds like it is not the highest.

Didn't the first Gaunt's Ghosts book give a list of the clearences? I remember Vermillion (for obvious reasons) being one, if not, the highest clearence.

Sadly I don't have it on me to check, but as I recall it mentioned many clearances in the prologue in the ship but I'm not sure if they were listed.
and is the color really 'magneta' rather than magenta? Magneta gets the ... spell check mistake... at least it did, it's gone now. I blame my computer. But Magneta sounds like a magnet.
Nope, the color is named magenta. Magneta would probably be the sister of that renegade wyrd Magneto.

I'm glad to hear I'm not crazzy.

I wish I heard that everytime I wake up.

"Codes like Panther, Esculis, Cryptox, or the old colour-code levels; Cyan, Scarlet, it goes up, Magenta, Obsidian and Vermillion," - Dercius.
Seems like the more letters the more important!
Somewhere out there, there is a fictional Wiki based on writings eminating from the Eye of Terror...er, that is, 4chan. Actually, I'd rather be trapped in the Eye of Terror. Anyhow, my point is that this Wiki had fictional security levels called 'Euclid" and "Keter." I thought those were rather snazzy names for security levels.
Ah, here it is:
I'm posting it mainly because, despite a certain tendency towards thematic repetition, it's a decent source of threat ideas for DH.
thanks for everyone's help.
And I'm somewhat surprised that after I said 'glad to hear I'm not crazzy' nobody replied with 'Sure you are, just knowing how to spell doesn't make you sane.' or something else to that effect.
