	The '''Komra''' are a subspecies of humans originating in the mineral-rich worlds of the galactic core. In the Imperium, they are formally known as ''Homo Sapiens Robustus'' for their stocky, powerful builds, the Eldar refer to them as ''Baj-Ha'', while in the poetry and sagas of the Orks they are called ''stunties''.

	A crowning achievement of Komra biotechnology was the creation of the Phage Towers of Karazak. These great structures, first built on that mighty Stem World, were exported to the Komra worlds subject to Ork attack. The series of towers would cultivate and release vast swarms of carefully engineered viruses that attacked Orkoid spores, interfering with their reproductive cycle. The virulence and fecundity of the Orks was such that Karazak's bioengineering Gelkzaft were constantly recovering tissue samples from emerging Orkoid organisms and tailoring their phage viruses in response. Nevertheless, Komra scientific genius and tireless labour were able to check the greenskin advance for thousands of years without maintaining massive armed garrisons.

	During the Age of Sorrow, Rakizor captured tens of millions of Terran slaves from war-ravaged colonies. A good many of these unfortunates were worked to death on the orbital factories of the dark world, but some were selected for a malign biological experiment. Inspired by their studies of Orkoid biology, the scientists of Rakizor had developed a fungal symbiote that would physically enhance a slave while rendering him or her more psychologically suitable to serving the Cult of Krenz. The hideous results, usually known as "Scabs" are foul, hunchbacked humanoids, with lean wiry bodies. They are not overly robust, but their symbiotes give them great regenerative abilities. Scab psychology is a repugnant mixture of fawning obedience to superiors, backstabbing mistrust of peers, and sadistic bullying to inferiors.		====Scabs====

	The Baj-Ha Protectorate endured thousands of years, but when it was truly tested it would be found hollowed out by the decay of the Eldar Empire. In 9711LF (935.M15), explorers from Terra re-established contact with the Komra, though the differences between the subspecies had become so profound that the humans of Earth initially believed that they were dealing with aliens. A proposal to reunite the Komra with their Terran cousins was met with disdain by the Eldar Lord Hyllkon and little enthusiasm among the Baj-Ha. A brief war (9713-4LF/937-8.M15) with the men of Sol and their robotic warriors, the Men of Iron, saw the Protectorate defended by a combined force of Eldar and Komra until the arrival of the Empire's fleet discouraged Terra's ambitions.

	Lacking both the Gellar Field and the Navigator gene, the Komra have had to devise a means of traversing the void independent of the Immaterium. Their method for achieving the physics-violating feat of superluminal speed is to bend the shape of space itself with phased energy fields. By the time of the Imperium's [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)\|Great Crusade]], development of the space-warping drive allowed Komra vessels to travel hundreds of light years in a few weeks - impressive, but still much slower than using the Warp.

	Most Komra are somewhat resistant to the touch of the warp, but the human psyker gene still expresses itself in the subspecies. Komra psykers - '''Zabers''' - do not come into their powers until much later in life, typically around the age of fifty, and with rare exceptions they are incapable of drawing on significant warp energy in a short time-frame. To compensate for their short-comings, the Komra developed complex crystal structures to act as "reservoirs" for warp energy. These structures are typically given a runic shape and embedded into a more resilient material. When drawn on by a Zaber rune structures can provide the fuel for the prodigious feats that characterize other race's psykers, but they can also be given an inherent purpose.

	These were not idle boasts. Even with the full strength of the other Stem Worlds arrayed against them, Rakizor's legions of Scabs, backed by ruthless warrior Gelkzaft, took a bitter toll on their kin. Centuries of fratricidal warfare were required to slowly roll back the dark world's forces, but the Confederation lacked the strength to invade, especially as the Ork threat re-emerged and Waaaaghs! began to assail Komra worlds. Under these conditions, Rakizor could not be conquered. In 19542LF (766.M25) the Brysojt ordered the establishment of ''Karnech Squadron'', a force to perpetually blockade Rakizor and supported by all of the Confederation's member worlds. Unfortunately, long-distance colony ships bearing fragments of the Krenz-stone had already spread Rakizor's corruption far beyond the borders of the Core Worlds.		These were not idle boasts.

	For thousands of years, the Komra of the Core Worlds Confederation would stand vigil against the enemy within and the enemies without. Their long watch would only be changed by the re-emergence of the Solar System and the coming of the Emperor of Mankind's [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)\|Great Crusade]]		For thousands of years, the Komra of the Core Worlds Confederation would stand vigil against the enemy within and the enemies without. Their long watch would only be changed by the re-emergence of the Solar System and the coming of the Emperor of Mankind's [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)\|Great Crusade]]. The initial contact between Komra and Imperial was made by the [[War Scribes]] of [[Arelex Orannis]], who greeted the Confederation with curiousity rather than wrath. A slow feeling-out process between the two branches of humanity ensued, with the Komra glad to trade and the Imperials anxious to unify the galaxy.
