From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Savage Xenos doesn't say how long the Kroot were in space; closest is that they drove out the Orks with T'au assistance after 20 years of war, not 20,000.
The Kroot originated on their homeworld of [[Pech]], and there is evidence to suggest that their evolution was avian in origin. Thousands of years ago, an [[Ork]] [[Rok]] crash-landed on Pech and the Greenskin survivors were promptly eaten by the native inhabitants. After several generations, the first true city of the Kroot had been erected around the wreck. Using their newly incorporated Orkoid DNA, the Kroot were able to interact with the [[Mekboy]] technology found aboard the crashed Rok. Within the span of a few thousand years, the Kroot had used the Greenskin technology to create five primary "Hive" cities, factory farming, and mining. They were also able to construct their first [[Warp]]-capable spacecraft in the form of [[Warsphere]]s and take to the stars. Soon the Kroot were able to colonise several worlds close to Pech.{{Fn|1}}
