If a full Chaos incursion along with various xenos attacks weren’t enough for the beleaguered Battlefleet Turbidious and the Imperium at large to deal with reports indicating a huge Ork Waaagh wont of helped matters. The increased warfare in the sector has drawn out the Orks from their various kingdoms like moths to a flame. However, while a single united Ork force has yet to materialise by far the largest fleet encountered has come from the Lindholm Sub-Sector in the Sectors Trailing Spiral. There are several Ork held Kingdoms within the Sector that need to be cleansed but with the Chaos incursion in full effect no concentrated Imperial force has been mustered by the Imperium to eradicate them. A huge Ork fleet has been identified which is based around a large Hulk that has materialised from the warp in the Sentinel system. This Hulk and its escort have been wreaking havoc there. The Hulk has been identified as ‘The Gutstompa’ and is accompanied by a variety of Kill Kroozers, Terror ships and escort vessels. No clear pict of the Gutstompa has been able to be obtained yet due to every ship trying to get close being obliterated before it can be taken. Future attempts will be made by the Imperium. Two ships that the Mechanicus have designated as Battleship class have been reported supporting the Hulk. It makes for a powerful fleet with millions of potential Orks landing in the system. If not dealt with soon then the system will likely be lost. Additionally, the Orks seem to have former Imperial mining rigs that have been converted into Lite Kroozers. The remnants of Imperial design are still present but the brutishness of the Orks shines through. This is blasphemous to the Mechanicus and the destruction of these ships is paramount. These Lite Kroozers seem to rush head long into enemy ships, locking together with their klaws before the drill bit pierces the hull of the opposing vessel. The drill bit then opens up to disgorge Orks into the internal decks of the ship caught in its embrace. This tactic has been the ruin of several ships to date, along with several space stations. The astrotelepathica indicates the Ork fleet is led by Warlord Captain Blacktoof who in turn answers to Warboss Ogork Waarfang and it is hoped that these Orks can be stopped before their numbers become big enough to bring more Orks under their banner! Captain Blacktoof is a former pirate that seems to have fallen under the banner of a larger Warboss and looks after the void warfare while the Boss fights on the front lines planet side. Captain Blacktoof Other Ork clans are known to be present in the Sector and so a full blown Waaagh that incorporated them as well would be catastrophic for the Imperium. The Inquisition is attempting to push the Orks into a face-off with portions of the Chaos incursion in an attempt to give the Imperium some breathing room.
