The Rin as a species aren't all blue skinned and not all Rin come from the home world either. Throughout the Empire many different groups of Rin exist. This will be a list of the most important or widespread.

First let's start with the base of the species the Pure Rin who have made it their mission to (for the most part) keep themselves genetically pure. All Rin off shoots come from this breed of Rin. Pure Rin are split into three ethnic groups (Which all other breeds of Rin have similar groups). They are:

Mountain Rin, bulky, and muscle bound

Plains Rin, tall and slender

High Lands Rin, average (Rin Standards)

Do note that the average Rin stands between 8-10ft, weighs about 400-500 pounds, and compared to use humans have super human strength and durability.

Now for the Sub-species, they shall be listed in order of social standing (As any Rin not of pure blood are considered lower):

Stellar Rin:

They have the build of plains Rin but are slightly shorter (average being 7ish feet) they are known for having yellow skin and out of all Rin species they have the most void users born among their ranks. This has made them in most parts of the Empire nobles on almost equal standing with those at home.

Forge Rin:

They have the build of mountain Rin and are known for having Orange skin. They as a sub species originated from the worlds that would first become the 'Forge Worlds' this has lead to many forge worlds being lead by Hereditary families of these Rin leading to them having typically high social standing

Red, Purple, and Grey Rin:

These Rin don't have fancy titles and thus are named by the color of their skin. They what Rin call 'Middle Rin' as they are not the lowest or highest ranking. They can pretty much become what ever the hell they want. These breeds of Rin have the characteristics of all the Pure Rin ethnic groups.

Green Rin:

The lowest of all Rin who only slave Rin (Most Green Rin anyways) are below. They are placed on equal ranking with prominent Xenos are could be compared to minor nobles (Barons or Knights)

Many species of Rin genetic origin do exist that the Rin do not consider Rin anymore (This would be breeds of Rin that have been horribly mutated or changed and warped far past what the Rin consider 'reparable')
