[[Image:VoidWhaleVoid Whales.jpg|thumb|right|220px300px|{{PAGENAME}}{{Fn|24}}]] '''Void Whales''' , also known as '''Space Titans''',{{Fn|4}} are gargantuan warp-spawned entities nearly twelve thousand miles long which swim across the blackness of space, sometimes also navigating the unnatural tides of the [[Warp]]. {{Fn|1}} Void Whales are large enough to maintain ecosystems of parasitic creatures including the bipedal piscene [[Remora]] and the wormlike [[Cruevar]].{{Fn|1}} Void Whales corpses are valued by the [[Leagues of Votann]] as mining sites, and can maintain multi-year digs.{{Fn|3a}} [[Ork fleet]]s are known to hunt groups of these "fishies", as they call them. Although the radiation riven innards are inedible, even to Orks, they seek to "scrobble" their guts as bait for even larger creatures.{{Fn|4}}

* The [[Farmarket]], a marketplace of exchange from many [[Xenos]] species, was maintained by the [[Trans-Hyperian Alliance]] above the dig-site of a Void Whale corpse.{{Fn|3a}} The Void Whale corpse upon which the Farmarket was situated was plagued by parasites known as [[Cruevar]], which would occasionally emerge and destabilize the structure before a [[Kin]] force could remove them.{{Fn|3b}}
