'''Void Born''' are [[Imperialshumans]] who are not born on the [[Imperium]]'s worldson a the surface of a world, but instead within the void of space. This includes asteroid mining installations, [[Space Stations]] and spacecrafts, with some void . Some of these populations are even born being born as these vessels travel through the during [[Warpwarp jump]].{{Fn|1}}==Description==Those who live out their lives in space grow used to things that world-bound s whilst the [[Imperialsvoidship]] fear or loathe, such as living in low or even zero-gravity environments. Never knowing the feel of solid ground beneath their feet also becomes commonplace for them as well. Void born that dwell on spacecrafts become used to travels within the reality-altering process of [[Warp]] travel. Generations of families can live this way, but in time gravitational pressures, inbreeding and Warp anomalies can take its toll. This has led the void born to develop pallid skin, drawn out features and some also have a minor deformity, or oddness about their speech, gait or general appearance{{Fn|1}}. Furthermore, it is possible that a world's gravity could begin to cause a void born to experience excruciating pain, should they spend too much time there.{{Fn|2}}
==Overview==[[Image:Void Born.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Void born [[human]]s{{Fn|1}}]]Those who live out their lives in space grow used to things that world-bound [[Imperials]] fear or loathe, such as fluctuating gravity and living in low or even zero-gravity environments. Many will never know the feeling of have the solid ground of a world beneath their feet. Void born that dwell on spacecrafts become used to the reality-altering process of [[Warp travel]]. Generations of families can live this way under various gravitational fluctuations, inbreeding of isolated populations and Warp anomalies compound to make void born a strange or off putting breed of humanity. This has led the void born to develop pallid skin, drawn out features and some also have a minor deformity, or oddness about their speech, gait or general appearance.{{Fn|1}} Furthermore, it is possible that a world's gravity could begin to cause a void born to experience excruciating pain, should they spend too much time there.{{Fn|2}}  All this separates them from world-bound [[Imperials]] and as a result, void born are considered an odd collection of misfits, strangers and ill-omened folk. The [[Warp]] itself is thought to have somehow tainted them as well and whether because of this belief or because of their perceived strange looks, clannish ways or unwholesome air, the void born are shunned and mistrusted by most in the [[Imperium]]. Some void born can unconsciously channel the powers of the warp to become preternaturally lucky. The variety of void born populations often have unique and varying disparate cultures with a variety of quirks.{{Fn|1}} [[Aeldari]] attempting to remain innocuous amongst the teeming masses of humanity might be mistaken for a void born human, at a glance.{{Fn|4}}
