Void Whales are large enough to maintain ecosystems of parasitic creatures including the bipedal piscene [[Remoara (warp)|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}} There are many things that can be created or refined from the raw materials of a dead void whale, some of which being fuel or construction material.{{Fn|3c}} The meat of a void whale is inedible, as far as most [[List of sentient species|sapient species]] of the [[galaxy]] are concerned.{{Fn|3a}}
[[Ork fleet]]s are known to hunt groups of these "fishies", as they call them.{{Fn|4}} Although the radiation riven innards are inedible, even to [[Orks]], [[Freebooterz]] may seek to "scrobble" their guts as bait for even larger creatures.{{Fn|4}}
