Types further refine the threat classification by considering the nature and characteristics of the threat. They can be paired with any level of classification, except for the White level which is typically paired with Political or Criminal.
The Types are as follows:
1. Biological:

Biological threats involve entities or phenomena of a biological nature, such as genetically engineered organisms, parasitic species, or contagious alien diseases. This Type can be paired with any level of classification, as biological threats can manifest at various scales and pose risks at different levels.
2. Criminal:

Criminal threats refer to threats originating from organized crime syndicates or individuals engaged in illicit activities. This Type is typically paired with the White level classification, as it represents non-violent criminal activities like smuggling or fraud that have negligible potential to disrupt universal peace.
3. Homegrown:

Homegrown threats encompass threats that originate within a specific civilization or species. These threats may arise from individuals or groups within a society that have developed dangerous ideologies, technologies, or abilities. This Type can be paired with any level of classification depending on the scale and potential impact of the threat.
4. Technological:

Cosmic threats encompass threats that arise from cosmic phenomena or entities. This includes cosmic storms, interdimensional beings, or reality-warping anomalies. Cosmic threats can be paired with any level of classification, as they can manifest at various scales and possess varying levels of power.
6. Political:

Political threats arise from political entities, such as aggressive alien empires, rebel factions, or hostile diplomatic negotiations. This Type is typically paired with the White level classification, as it represents threats that are primarily related to interstellar disputes or non-violent political activities.
Conclusion:
The combination of the Class and Type in the G.E.A. threat classification system allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the nature, severity, and characteristics of intergalactic threats. It enables the Galactic Enforcement Agency to tailor their response strategies and allocate appropriate resources to effectively mitigate and neutralize these threats.
