==History==
*{{Main|Leagues of Votann}}
As abhumans, kin (as they refer to themselves) share a common origin with that of [[humanity]], having almost certainly originated from pre-Imperial [[Terra]] in the ancient past. It is said that during this time, mining explorers and settlers known as the [[First Ancestors]] set out for the [[Galactic Core]] in Generation Shipsin an event known as the [[Long March]]. Seeking its great wealth, these fleets left with highly advanced [[Artificial Intelligence]]s known as [[Votann Ancestor Core]]s in order to provide them with all the wisdom and aid they would require in their mission.{{Fn|1a}}
Thanks to their advanced [[cloneskein]] technology, the kin were rapidly able to adapt to the conditions of the galactic core, creating a race physically stronger and more robust than that of a standard human, as well as more resistant to the mutating powers of the [[Warp]]. As the fleets settled within the Core [[Hold]]s soon sprang up and the burgeoning civilization reaped the immense wealth of their new home. Soon enough, a mercantile confederation dubbed the [[Leagues of Votann]] formed, and it spent the long millennia settling the immense sprawl of the core and exploiting its boundless riches.{{Fn|1a}}
