Wayfinder
Wayfinders are a type of Ironkin essential to FTL travel for the Leagues of Votann.[1]
Overseen by a Voidmaster, the Ironkin Wayfinders possess accelerated logic-cores that enable them to cogitate probable paths through the madness of Warp space without risking psychic interaction. With the support of Kin bridge crews, these specialists guide their craft in a series of plunges that are often short and slower than their Human counterparts, but more safe and accurate.[1]
Before any jump, Wayfinders calculate a map of Warp currents, then measure levels of warp resistance their vessel would sustain in any given route. Wayfinders are able to coordinate jumps of multiple ships by all fixing on the same warp current. While underway in a jump, Wayfinders constantly calculate current resistance to ensure safe travel.[2]
