Among the ancient power blocs of the Kin, the Ymyr Conglomerate stands as an aristocracy of engineers. Its holds are sunk into some of the richest reaches of the galactic core, seams of ore and rare matter so bountiful they have drawn covetous eyes for centuries. That abundance has never come cheaply, and Ymyr history is written as much in blood spilled defending those claims as in the wealth they yield.
Where larger Leagues measure strength in the breadth of their holdings, the Conglomerate measures it in mastery, for its creed is quality over quantity. Membership is earned rather than inherited: a Kindred that would join must prove exceptional artifice and command of a territory able to pay a rich, reliable tribute of resources. To the pragmatic Kin there is no dishonour in a Kindred buying its way into such company, for proven worth is worth all the same. The result is a small League that nonetheless holds the densest concentration of advanced technology in the entire core.
Its Oathbands rank among the most lavishly equipped of all the Kin, furnished with superior force-field generators, finely wrought teleportation relays, and sensor arrays that leave rival hosts half-blind by comparison. The Great Rift has only sharpened Ymyr ambition. Even before the galaxy tore, its Kindreds ranged into far-space to trade for what the core lacked or seize systems they judged theirs by need. Now, with some of their wealthiest holds severed by warp storms, they drive their prospectors and warfleets deeper into the dark rather than let the famed Ymyr forges fall cold.
Order of battle
The Ymyr Conglomerate field the units of the Leagues of Votann, a detachment from the roster:
Other Leagues of Votann formations
Greater Thurian LeagueThe oldest and largest of the great Leagues, the Greater Thurian League traces an unbroken line back to the first Kin colonists of the galactic core. Its Votann are among the most ancient in existence, and its holds are storied centres of tradition, wealth, and industry. Conservative and proud, the Thurians consider themselves the keepers of true Kin heritage and rarely act without weighing a matter against the accumulated judgement of their Ancestors.
Kronus HegemonyA hard, militant League forged on the frontier, the Kronus Hegemony is known for its aggressive expansion and its willingness to seize by force what other Leagues would rather buy. Its holds sit amid contested territory, hemmed in by hostile xenos and grasping Imperial worlds, and generations of border conflict have bred a culture of pragmatic ruthlessness and formidable martial skill.
Trans-Hyperian AllianceA far-ranging confederation of prospecting fleets and frontier holds, the Trans-Hyperian Alliance spans a vast and scattered swathe of the galaxy. More a network of interdependent kindreds than a single centralised power, it thrives on trade, exploration, and the relentless pursuit of rare resources across some of the most remote and hazardous regions the Kin have ever claimed.
Urani-Surtr RegulatesThe Urani-Surtr Regulates, known to the Kin as the URSR, is a grim and unyielding League clinging to a swathe of embattled territory in the southern galactic core. Ringed by awakening Necrons, marauding Orks, and a festering Tyranid infestation, its Kindreds have made stubbornness into a virtue, prizing endurance and self-reliance where other Kin would coldly weigh the odds and withdraw. To have a warrior of the Regulates at one's side is to have a comrade who will not take a single step back.
