Kindred (Leagues of Votann) - Notable Kindreds: Deeprock Kindred (Greater Thurian League) - The Deeprock Kindred of the Greater Thurian League was one of many Thurian Kindreds whose Hearthspake voted to take up defensive positions and face the onslaught of the forces of Chaos pouring out of Warp Storm Örgvayr after it was created in northeastern Thurian space with the birth of the Great Rift in the Era Indomitus.Farsail of Thryk Kindred (Trans-Hyperian Alliance) - A far-travelled people, the Kin of the Farsail of Thryk embark on exploration and adventure with compulsive determination. While other leagues may dispatch large Prospects or Oathbands into the void to bring back resources and knowledge, the Farsail of Thryk Kindred are entirely voidborne and ever on the move. Their hold is an entire fleet of huge voidships complete with fortified city, mining, and factory vessels escorted by heavy warships. In the wake of the fall of the space hulk called the Gallowdark to the Forge World of Bheta-Decima in the Nemesys Sector of the Segmentum Tempestus, the Genestealer Cult present on Bheta-Decima known as the Cult of the Chittering Verse has since managed to finally draw the notice of the xenos they call the "Star-Children," who they believe will soon arrive to save them from the present conflict and usher in their long-promised spiritual salvation. As such, a small splinter of Hive Fleet Leviathan is currently en route to Bheta-Decima, but its bio-ships were detected in transit and engaged by the Farsail of Thryk Kindred of the Trans-Hyperian Alliance league. These Kin seek to trap and then harvest the resources of the splinter fleet, as the Leagues of Votann have discovered that they can render bio-ship organic matter into rare and exotic compounds that can be used in all sorts of highly profitable applications, from new medicae treatments to voidship engineering projects.  Scout vessels were deployed ahead of the Tyranid splinter fleet to identify its prey worlds, but the Quicksilver-class Scout Ship Vektrônn's Eye was shot down over Bheta-Decima by the Genestealer Cultists. The ship crashed into the central hold of their Genestealer Patriarch in the subterranean region known as the Seethe, named the Deeprealm. In a desperate panic, the troops of the Chittering Verse, including the Traitoris Militarum Cadian Neo-917th Regiment comprised of Brood Brothers and Genestealer hybrids, descended upon the wreckage of the Leagues of Votann ship and were battling with its Kin to eradicate the intrusion.Iron Canyon Kindred - The Iron Canyon Kindred is an example of a Kindred that has been named for a defining feature of their Hold World.Khâld's Star Breaker Kindred (Greater Thurian League) - Khâld's Star Breaker Kindred of the Greater Thurian League was one of many Thurian Kindreds whose Hearthspake voted to take up defensive positions and face the onslaught of the forces of Chaos pouring out of Warp Storm Örgvayr after it was created in northeastern Thurian space with the birth of the Great Rift in the Era Indomitus.Kindred Crimson-Two (Greater Thurian League) - Kindred Crimson-Two of the Greater Thurian League was one of many Thurian Kindreds whose Hearthspake voted to take up defensive positions and face the onslaught of the forces of Chaos pouring out of Warp Storm Örgvayr after it was created in northeastern Thurian space with the birth of the Great Rift in the Era Indomitus.Kindred of Aârnok - The Kindred of Aârnok is known to possess Balewind harvester stations.

So hardy and technologically advanced are the Kin, that they have claimed many regions of space viewed by other starfaring species as inimical. Nôthka's Kindred, for example, maintains a hold amidst the calamitous ruin-belt of the Broken Triplets. This trio of worlds were smashed together during some ancient catastrophe, and the colossal quantities of debris from their demise still whirls and ricochets in a vast cloud to this day, trapped by the gravitic anomaly that caused the disaster. Few other peoples could consider such a devastating region home, yet the hold of Nôthka's Kindred -- Sunder Stair -- sits at the heart of the anomaly behind a breathtaking bulwark of interwoven force fields. These both shelter the immense void station that serves as the hold and also maintain clear space lanes for its voidcraft to take in and out of the system. Not only do the Kin of Sunder Stair enjoy the natural defence of the planetary ruin-belt -- which would swiftly cripple invading voidcraft -- but they have also spent Terran centuries mining the exposed innards of the Broken Triplets.Oriâkh's Irongate (Grand Orion Compact) - Oriâkh's Irongate was a Kindred of the Grand Orion Compact. The Five Hundred Years' War was triggered when the Orks of WAAAGH! Morbok overran the hold of Oriâkh's Irongate Kindred and tore apart the Ancestor Core within. The Grand Orion Compact swore the most widespread Grudge in recorded Kin history for this death of their Votann, hurling all their might against the Warlord Morbok's Empire of Scrap for more than five Terran centuries, until the last Ork was slain and the insult answered.Orksbane Kindred (Ymyr Conglomerate) - The Orksbane Kindred is a Kindred of the Ymyr Conglomerate. The Orksbane Kindred built their hold upon the heavily-irradiated world of Tamâkh. Known as Brôkhfyre, the hold is dug deep into Tamâkh's planetary mantle -- insulated against the exotic and deadly energy spectra that pour from the world's nearby star. What violent apotheosis the tortured star is undergoing, none can say, but for three Terran millennia now the Kin of the Orksbane Kindred have captured the energies of its raging solar flares using kilometres-high stellar vanes. These energies power their hold's Forge, which is amongst the greatest in all the Leagues of Votann, renowned for the amazing weapons of war it can produce.Star-delver Kindred - The Star-delver Kindred is an example of a Kindred that has been named after the defining nature of its Kin.Sylâkh's Kindred -  The Kin of Sylâkh's Kindred, a known rival of the Kindred of Six of the Kronus Hegemony, favours massed artillery and siege warfare.Skâlfi's Kindred - Skâlfi's Kindred is an example of a Kindred that has been named after its founding Ancestor.The Kindred Stoic of Nightgulf - The Kindred Stoic of Nightgulf is an example of a Kindred whose name is a combination of several common naming conventions, in this case a Kindred that has been named for a defining feature of their Hold World and the defining nature of its Kin.Thousand Stars Kindred - The Thousand Stars Kindred is an example of a Kindred that has been named for a defining feature of their Hold World.Void Strider Kindred (Greater Thurian League) - This Kindred of the Greater Thurian League was swallowed by Warp Storm Örgvayr the instant it was created in northeastern Thurian space with the birth of the Great Rift in the Era Indomitus.Vykât's Kin - Vykât's Kin is an example of a Kindred that has been named after its founding Ancestor.Ukûlak's Kindred (Trans-Hyperian Alliance) - Ukûlak's Kindred is a Kindred of the Trans-Hyperian Alliance.

These robotic CORV COG units contain shards of psychoactive crystal recovered from a scintillating anomaly of the galactic core. Like escorts around a capital ship, the CORV Duas employ their psycho-amplified resilience to shield their companion Grimnyr from harm. At the same time, the empyric resonance generated by their presence magnifies the fortitude of the Grimnyr's barrier-tech, helping them to ward off harmful enemy manifestations.Yênna's Kindred - Yênna's Kindred is known to possess Balewind harvester stations. This is an example of the extremophile inclinations of many Leagues of Votann Kindreds.Yôht's Black Pillars Kindred - Yoht's Black Pillars Kindred is an example of a Kindred whose name is a combination of several common naming conventions, in this case a Kindred that has been named for a defining feature of their Hold World and after its founding Ancestor.
