 Orks
are the most widespread and warlike race of aliens in the bloodstained
galaxy of the 41st millennium. From the depths of the galactic core
to the distant ghost stars beyond the rim, burgeoning Ork empires
rise and fall. In terms of sheer numbers and planets, Orks occupy
more of the galaxy than any other single race and were they unified,
the Orks would soon crush all opposition. However, the Orks' passion
for violence is so unquenchable that they spend most of their time
warring amongst themselves, and any Ork leader worth his followers'
respect would never dream of voluntarily following another.
However, once in a generation, an Ork leader will emerge who is
powerful enough to defeat his rivals and dominate their tribes.
His success will draw others and soon a great Ork Waaagh! is underway,
a movement of millions – part migration, part holy jihad as
the Orks seek new worlds to conquer and races to enslave. The violence
of unleashed Ork Warriors is truly terrifying and the ferocity of
the Ork Waaagh! evokes fear even amidst the holy spires of Terra.
"'Ere we go! 'Ere we go! 'Ere we go!"
- Ork war chant
