Vitae Womb
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Vitae-Womb (or vitae womb)[2] is a method of genetic reproduction utilized by the scientists of Krieg to keep the planet's population up on their dying world in order to meet their Tithes for the Imperial Guard. A mysterious and little-understood technique outside of Krieg itself, this technology of mass-producing human organisms is seen as abhorrent to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Nonetheless the practice is tolerated as the Death Korps of Krieg are so vital to the Imperial war effort.[1] The horses ridden by the Death Riders of Krieg are also produced via vitae wombs.[2]
