The Leagues of Votann are the collective confederations of the species of squat but powerfully-built Abhuman clones who refer to themselves as the “Kin.” They are sometimes pejoratively called “Squats” by the Humans of the Imperium. The Kin are an advanced, starfaring species who possess highly advanced technology and live amid the extreme environments that mark the resource-rich worlds of the galactic core. The Kin share their lives with self-aware, robotic constructs called Ironkin, which they treat as full societal equals in every way.
A kâhl is the title borne by the general officers of the Leagues of Votann who often command their Kindred’s Oathbands and sometimes even entire Kinhosts in battle if they rise to the rank of high kâhl.
A Prospectors are a militarised exploratory and prospecting fleet of the Leagues of Votann. These expeditions seek out new strategic mineral and energy deposits, trade routes and other lucrative opportunities for the Kin of their Kindred or league.
