"and ESPECIALLY the Inquisition" To be fair, while the Inquisition can and some more zealous Inquisitors do sometimes go after Navigators for aberrations in mutations... Usually it's left alone unless it's Chaos shit or they're doing something that threatens the Imperium. If they just have horrible mutations but aren't tainted by Chaos or doing anything, even the most self-righteous of Inquisitors are unlikely to go after them because while they do technically have the authority to do so... The Navigator guilds are one of those entities you simply don't piss off. Ever. Not if you know what's good for you. And while the Navigator guilds are cut-throat bastards against each other, they do protect their own. It would not be unthinkable for an Inquisitor that purged a Navigator that was a loyal servant to the Imperium to suddenly develop a lot of issues with getting reliable transport and suddenly finding out that there's no Navigators available to crew whatever ship he happens to be on. It's the same way you don't piss off the AdMech. Sure, if it's legit heresy/heretek behavior, go for it. But if you're just pissing in their pool because you can technically do so with your authority... That's one very foolish Inquisitor that is going to have one very, very short career as one.

the ogryn are big because of the cold, not the gravity. The square cube law means that if you double somethings size you cube (to the power of three) its volume. This makes it easier for an animal to stay warm in a cold enviroment, they have way more body to produce heat as compared to surface area for them to loose heat from. Its why polar bears, emperor penguins, blue whales (all whales actually), seals, walruses, wolly mammoths, etc. were/are so big, especially compared to their more tropical relatives. Edit: to be fair elephants and wooly mammoths are big because of another evolutionary factor, defense. Get big enough and predators will avoid hurting you. Their size meant they were just predsiposed to surviving in colder climates.

A note on the Afriel Strains because I love them: They actually were incredibly effective soldiers. They were hard, fast, skilled, pretty much everything they were meant to be. That bad luck didn’t really happen until after the battle was over. They also are pretty blunt. For example, a female Afriel Strain once walked into the canteen of a penal legion…topless. When one of the penal legionaries obviously tried to cop a feel, she responded by ripping his eye (pretty sure it was an eye) out and presented it to the company commander. Edit: fixing autocorrect.

OK! A fun story! I made a character for Rogue Trader (the tabletop RPG set in the 40K universe) with the "false man" background (ie genetically engineered, born in a tube basically) who was made by a heretek. I did not know about the Afriel strain until later, but it just so happens I made her albino. Once I heard of the Afriel strain, me and my GM worked in her backstory that the heretek that created her used forbidden lore to improve on the Afriel strain, and my character was the only succesfull specimen. Bow, here is the real fun part: Me, the player, had an INSANE luck with my rolls. Sneak through a corridor littered with surveilance cameras unseen? Nailed it. Snipe a heavily protected driver while hanging on to a careening guncutter? No problemo. Yes, my character, Mira, was an extremely good fighter/assassin, but it doesnt help that I rolled near perfect almost all the time. Even funnier is that it seemed like my luck seemed to be leeched from the other players, as their rolls were usually abysmal. So.. it was kinda lorefriendly in a way! =D

There have been wars fought between voidborn clans on the ships. The voidborn repair and maintain the systems in the parts of the ships they live in,and some of the voidborn clans have developed their own odd religions. They have dark skin and are of a spindly build. Voidborn clans only know how to repair and maintain very specific sections of a ship or station and don't know how to repair or maintain anything else. A voidborn can go their entire life without ever seeing someone outside their clan. There was a short story where a voidborn clan who maintained the coolant regulators on a ship went extinct and another clan had to figure out how to repair them.

Abhumans are those sub-species whose existence is tolerated due to their similarities to the human norm, and thus accepted as members of humanity as a whole. Whilst this is certainly the case, the Troth are restricted to a single world in the Imperium, the planet of Verdant, whose ecosystem they are incapable of surviving without, and their actual deviation from “true” human biology is unknown. Those few who are aware of the existence of the Troth theorise that they have developed an intimate relationship with the flora of their home world (which by its name is thought to be a planet covered in great expanses of forest or jungle) and cannot survive without the vegetable component of their symbiosis.” Basically, they are plant people. Mostly provide food shipments to the Imperium.

Another canon Abhuman strain are the “Humans with 4 legs”, aka Centaur humans, discovered on an unknown high gravity planet's surface. Discovered by Guardsman Floscan Hartoum and Commissar Leminkanen (deceased by giant scorpion), this knowledge of Abhuman existence on this world remains undocumented to the wider Imperium at this time. “Back aboard the Imperial battleship Ravenger, the Commissar's report is being filed with the Captain, stating that the planet is worthless and inhabited by ferocious creatures and a primitive semi-intelligent alien species unlikely to progress any further. The report then drops off midsentence on explaining that no further action should be taken. The Captain accepts this and forwards it to the Adeptus Terra. Hartoum, sitting in his cell, reflects on his actions, altering the Commissar's already open report to protect the centaurs from exterminatus, as well as philosphizing on whether the Emperor would abhor or agree with his actions.“ PS: A Small Khornate blood cult had been established among some of the human centaur humans on the planet, resulting in conflicts between the various tribes. The status of the species remains currently unknown. Children of the Emperor - Short story.

The Troth, also known as Homo Sapien Verdantus, are a recognized strain of Abhuman within the Imperium. They are restricted to the world of Verdant.[1] According to legend, a tribal king called Nemus once ruled over a people isolated from the rest of humanity in the time before the Great Crusade. It is said that Nemus swore an oath to protect his world of Verdant if the planet would protect his people. As a result, Nemus' descendants, the Troth, share a symbiotic relationship with the forests of their homeworld that enables them to "converge" with their environment and confound invaders. Over many centuries, the Troth have supposedly been transformed into beings with flesh as tough as oak and digestive systems that can extract nutrients from the earth.[2] 1: Warhammer 40,000 6th Edition Rulebook, pg. 405 2: Liber Xenologis, pg. 27

Like Navigators might be more accurately classified as Homo Sapien Navigo, as they are off-shoots of "standard" humans.

Yep. It's a surface area to volume ratio thing. The larger you are, the less surface area you have relative to your volume. This helps retain heat / insulate better compared to smaller variants of a species. Conversely, hot climates will tend to see a species adapt by becoming smaller (radiates heat away faster compared to their larger brethren).
