Sanctioned Psyker
From Lexicanum
Sanctioned Psykers are psykers trained and assigned to serve within the Imperial Guard. They are able to use their psychic abilities to aid the commander in his decisions by predicting or sensing enemy movements, or more directly in combat, psychically attacking the enemy or protecting allies. Commissars are always ready to execute a psyker in danger of possession.
Throughout the Imperium, psykers are justifiably feared for the danger they present, and held in a regard comparable to that of aliens and mutants. Certain slang has grown up between psykers and non-psykers. Freak, Brain and Bolt Magnet are all terms for a sanctioned psyker, whereas Blunt is what a non-psyker is to a psyker.
