From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
→Overview
Besides this role, the Hernkyn also locate potential trading partners for their Kindreds, mark navigable void-channels, scout viable regions for settlements, and most importantly of all locate new resources to be exploited.{{Fn|3}}
To achieve all this , however, the Hernkyn has to make great personal sacrifices. It is not easy for the family-focused clones to spend such extended periods of times away from their [[Hold]], and the ever-present danger that they may never return to their Ancestor Core. That such souls are still willing to undertake these scouting expedition is yet another reason they are held in high regard in Kin society. To that end, they are equipped with the finest scout ships manned by the finest [[Voidmaster (Leagues of Votann)|Voidmasters]]. They are also given a wide array of vehicles, and gunships, most notably [[Magna-Coil Bike]]s. They also make use of [[Pan Spectral Scanner]]s to mark out natural resources the Kin would prize, using powerful claim-beacons to alert the [[Cthonian Mining Guilds]] to their presence.{{Fn|3}}
