The Trans-Hyperian Alliance is the most dispersed of the great Leagues, its holds and fleets scattered across an enormous expanse of the galaxy rather than concentrated in a single heartland. Born from the union of numerous far-flung prospecting kindreds, the Alliance functions less as a unified state than as a web of mutual obligation, its members bound by shared Votann, common charters, and the practical necessity of cooperation across such vast distances.
This sprawling reach has made the Trans-Hyperians consummate traders, explorers, and opportunists. Their fleets range further than those of any other League, brokering deals with distant powers, prospecting worlds no other Kin have laid eyes upon, and returning with rare elements that command enormous worth in the League's ledgers. Where the Greater Thurian League looks inward to its ancient holds, the Alliance looks perpetually outward, toward the next claim and the next horizon.
Such dispersal carries risk. An isolated Trans-Hyperian hold may stand alone against a threat for a long time before aid can cross the void to reach it, and so its warriors are drilled to fight with grim self-reliance. Their Oathbands are versatile and mobile, equipped for long-range operations far from any friendly forge, and their commanders are accustomed to making hard decisions with the nearest Votann many light years away.
Leagues of Votann
Order of battle
The Trans-Hyperian Alliance field the units of the Leagues of Votann — a detachment from the roster:
Kindred formations
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.
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.
Ymyr ConglomerateThe Ymyr Conglomerate is a wealthy and exacting League whose holds sit among the richest mineral seams of the galactic core. Small in number but peerless in craft, its Kindreds win entry only by proving both extraordinary skill at the forge and dominion over territory that yields a fortune in rare elements. Ymyr Oathbands march to war carrying the finest wargear the Kin can produce, trusting the quality of their arms to accomplish what other Leagues attempt with numbers.
