Orks Wars

The Orks Wars was a xenocidal campaign conducted by the Marauding Eagles against the predations of ferocious Orkoid xenoforms that hailed from deep within the Halo Stars.

History
During this forty-five year conflict that lasted from 412-457.M36, the Marauding Eagles faced off repeated waves of Orks apparently coming from deep within the Halo Stars. Despite their hulking size, dwarfing most of the "common" orkoid found near the borders of the Imperium, those invasions do not appear to be WAAAAGH! Instead, the Chapter's Archivists believe that the Orks are from fleeing their realms. It is not quite clear what drove them to such strange behavior, and the Marauding Eagles did not care to find out. Especially disorganized, even for Orks, invaders make for easy targets in void battles, but prove quite violent and deadly when melees do happen, proving far stronger and resilient that even the Space Marines.

Refusing to let the Orks step foot on any habitable world near their zone of patrol, for fear of them becoming too great a threat to be excised later on, the Marauding Eagles deploy all their forces, boarding the mightiest Orks vessels to detonate them from the inside. Around the uninhabited Paradise World they have called Elegia Maxima, the Ansis Athaulf the Warborn confront the last of the Orks Big Boss. The brute's death is dearly paid, for the Ansis and his whole retinue are slain. Still, Elegia Maxima is preserved and the region is free from Orkish taint, allowing the Marauding Eagles some needed respite to replenish their numerous forces.
