Editing Morkai (section)

==Warp Relays==
Though they play a dangerous game, the Morkai do not risk their fleets. Massive warp relays connect the worlds of the Republic, carving long and wide tunnels for the spire-vessels to travel through quickly. Though reliable, sparing Morkai ships from a brunt of the warp's energies, these relays only take ships as far as they can make their tunnels, mere dozens of lightyears.

The warp relays themselves, pinnacles of Morkai engineering, are massive stations on the edge of a system. One system may hold two, or three, or even ten warp relays. The Morkai's home system, for example, contains dozens of warp relays pointed towards many different stars, pulsating frequently as traffic passes through the system. Precious assets they are, directing armadas through the warp, that any threat to them shall be prioritized against almost all else. 

The respect for the leaders of warp relays' teams are on par with generals. Considering the importance and complexity of warp relays it is no surprise these leaders hold the rank of Ataman, and thus qualify to become Tereks and lead the Republic as if they were great commanders themselves.

===Alternative FTL===
One of the greatest challenges Morkai engineers face is finding a longer-range form of faster-than-light travel than the warp relays. Though it is within their capacity, voidships traveling by the light of the Astronomicon, and braving warp energies directly, is not a preferred option for the warp-fearing Morkai. One of the predominant fields of FTL research is in the webway, which the Morkai attempt to access through discovery derelict dolmen gates and, when possible, favors from Eldar harlequins; however, both are very sparse events, and the former has a tendency to take them where they are not welcome such as the case during the Mortekaiser Campaign, while the latter is accomplished with begging and debt. Wormholes are a promising method, but like with Dolmen gates they have a tendency to take ships where they shouldn't go, assuming the wormhole's instability doesn't vaporize the ship.
