Ymyr Conglomerate
The Ymyr Conglomerate is a major League of the Leagues of Votann and an ancient power bloc within the species.[1]

Overview
Considered an "elite" League, a Kindred's entry into the Ymyr Conglomerate is dependent upon them proving exceptional skill in craftsmanship and a territory that yields a suitably high bounty of resources. There is no stigma attached to a Kindred effectively buying its way in like this - for the Kin are ever pragmatic. Its Brokhyrs are thus of unparalleled skill and oversee great wealth to fuel their forges. In exchange for sizable exports of raw materials, these resource-rich Kindreds are rewarded with weapons, wargear, and vessels forged by their skilled allies.[4b]
Though smaller than some of the other major Leagues, the Ymyr Conglomerate boasts the greatest concentration of high-technologies anywhere in the Galactic Core. Every one of their Kindreds benefits from remarkable force field generators to protect their mining concerns and Holds, expertly crafted teleportation hubs and high-end scanning and communications equipment. Their Holds contain civilian facilities that by normally conservative Kin standards border on decadence, while their Oathbands and Prospects boast phenomenal military hardware. Many of their famed Forges - such as Vônky's Hall of Hammers, Cynder Span, and the Ymus-Solaryn - produce singular mechanisms of sublime ability. Moreover, the Ymyr are notorious for possessing enough advanced beam weaponry, Exo-Armour, and Colossus-class War Engines to equip entire armies at a level most Kindreds can only afford for their most elite warriors.[4b]
Even before the coming of the Great Rift, the Ymyr Conglomerate were frequent visitors to regions outside of the Galactic Core, trading with alien empires or taking resources by force. Recent developments have only seen them redouble these efforts, for some of their wealthiest Kindreds have been cut off by Warp Storms and new invading aliens.[4b]
