Orks are a Humaniod species from the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

They are basically Space Orc soccer holligans.

History

While the Exact Origins of the Orks are unknown, it is generally believed that they were Genetically Engineered as a sort of biological weapon, a move which ultimately backfired and whiped out their creators.

Attributes

The standard Ork is a large, heavily built green skinned humaniod with large tusks that range from Human sized to up to six meters tall. Orks are optimized for Combat, being considerably stronger able to survive injuries that would easily kill a human and able to quickly regenerate from grevious wounds. Intellectually, the standard Ork lacks much in comparison with a human and is far more agressive. Orkish Technology is designed, created and maintained by specialized mechboyz, which are born with a highly developed if instictual and subcontious understanding of Machinery, science and technology. Orks are naturally closely associated with several other creatures, notaby the Smaller Gretchens and Squigs.

Orks are fungus based lifeforms and reproduce via spores. An adult Ork constantly produces and release spores that develop an Orkiod Ecology, starting with fungus, then Squigs, Gretchens develop underground in potato like wombs and eventually this gives rise to fully capable Orks. This is deeply problematic, as even if an Orkish attack on a Planet is defeated, it is quite likely that Feral Orks will establish themselves on the planet and complete removal of Orks is extremly dificult.

Organization

The status of an Ork in Orkish Society is determined by the size of the Ork in Question, Bigger Orks hold higher status. Larger Orks hold the title of Nob and maintain position through blunt physical force. The Largest Ork in the established group holds the title of boss.

Besides this, various subgroups of Orks exist based more around common ideology.
