Wider Imperial society generally shuns the [[abhuman]]s within their midst. While it's true that many are able to find their niche outside the scornful gaze of common men, the Navigators alone enjoy not only acceptance (albeit often begrudged), but nigh universal wealth among the [[mutant]]s of any kind.{{Fn|4b}} Many factions, political, commercial and private, strive to secure a deal with one of the noble houses of Navis Nobilite.{{Fn|2e}} Some are fortunate enough to enjoy complex bonds of honour, debts and patronage, like the [[Imperial Navy]] or naval aristocracies.{{Fn|20b}} [[Rogue Trader]] dynasties are often tied for generations to specific Navigator dynasties, creating lasting bonds of familiarity.{{Fn|12d}} Even if [[Warp Travel|Warp travel]] is vaguely possible without Navigators,{{Fn|2l}} their contracts are often one of the most valuable commodities after the spaceship, and a few mercantile powers of [[Imperial Commercia]] are known to maintain relations with some Nobilite families.{{Fn|2e}}
