Legacy Vault
Legacy Vaults are advanced Leagues of Votann technology that allows the neural makeup of individual Squats to be secured and stored in order to one day be rejoined with their distant Ancestor Core.[1]
Often used by Kin such as the Hernkyn or Prospects who operate far from Votann territory, Legacy Vaults are rare and prized relics. Usually kept deep in the bowels of key spaceships, Vaults upload not only the neural mapping of an organic Squats mind, but also the Cerebral Unit of an Ironkin so it may be similarly preserved. Each Legacy Vault can only upload a limited number of individuals and they are usually only used by Kin who are about to go on near-suicidal missions or about to be overrun by enemy forces where retrieval of their bodies is not expected. Legacy Vault's are usually hidden and sport beacons that will allow other Kin to retrieve it even centuries later.[1]
Legacy Vaults are extremely sturdy, and can survive geologic pressure, radiation, extreme temperatures, acid, and the deep void. There are tales of ancient Legacy Vaults being discovered in the heart of stars after its energy has been harvested away by Kin fleets.[1]
