Warp Witch
Warp Witches are rogue psykers emergent from among the Void Born populations, able to glimpse into the Warp and somehow make sense of its currents. Although this ability makes them similar in power to Navigators, Warp Witches are limited in their power, yet able to, albeit crudely, allow a piloted jump if none Navigator is available. Those who choose to employ a Warp Witch may be unaware of the inherent insanity those rogue psykers bring with them aboard, and some of those may even bring a taint of Chaos, even themselves even unaware of any Daemons attached to them.[1]
The limitations of the Warp Witches do not deny their usefulness, as even sometimes Navigators do rely on them. One example is Ember Nostromo, who, in 717.M41, after betraying her master, the outlaw captain Buros Han, and taking command of his vessel Monarch of Whispers accumulated a whole coterie of Warp Witches to lead her small fleet of pirate ships scouring the Calixis Sector.[2]
