As a little off topic continuation to my previous post above, if we were to take Forerunners from Halo at their prime in all their near magical technological bullshittery, they would be a mid-late rank 3, as they had built several Dyson spheres, and had actively travelled to Andromeda near the end.

Please keep in mind that in my previous post above, all of my high rankings are dependent on psychic power and use of the Immaterium. If we were to rank them purely on Technology and not on psychic prowess, all of them would fall in rankings except for the Tau, Necrons and c'tan, and the orks.

The Elder are heavily dependent on psychic power and its use is prevalent in all their technology, if that is taken away their technology would be vastly crippled.

Both the Imperium and the Heretics rely on the Immaterium to move in the galaxy, and would not be connected at all if that was taken away.

Chaos gods are quite literally vast amounts of psychic energy given sentience, take psychic energy away and they wouldn't even exist.

Tyranids rely on psychic energy for their hive mind to function, if they didn't have psychic energy, they would be no different than wild beasts.

The Tau and the Necrons/C'tan have almost no presence in the Immaterium so all of their rankings are based on pure technology, while Orks just....go Waaaagh! And salvage bits of tech.
