Background

During the course of the Ork assault on Armageddon by Waagh Thraka, the space hulk Zoggin' Great Ship went off course. This may have been due to the whims of the Chaos powers, but was more likely the result of Rentcher the Mekaniak tossing Skweek, his Gretchin assistant, into the Telaporta Kontrols.

In any event, the hulk did not appear over Armageddon, but rather over Necromunda. More procisely, it appeared under Hive Primus. When the telaporter malfunctioned, it caused the great hulk to reappear in sections through out the entire underhive. Sadly, few of the Orks on board, including the Rentcher, Skweek, and most of the other Oddboyz, Gretchin, and snotlings did not survive the materialization.

What was left were isolated groups of Orks, far from others of their kind and lost in the nightmare world of the Underhive. However, as Orks are want, these bands of Orks quickly adapted. In fact, the areas of the Underhive were much like their home world - except it was darker, had fewer squigs, and was lousy with "oomies". The Orks soon were roving in gangs like the other Underhivers and faring much better than most.

However, even among the Underhivers, the Orks stand out. As such, the Ork gangs live on the edge of Underhive society. Using their section of the crashed hulk as their home territory, the Orks rove the edges of civilization, such as it is, under Hive Primus.

Special Rules

The Ork Gang is based upon the rules for Orks presented in the Monsters section of the Outlanders rule book. You may purchase an Ork gang to use in your Necromunda compaigns with the following special rules.

• The Ork gang is an Outlaw gang and follows the general rules for Outlaws as given in the Outlanders rule book.
• In combat, Orks are never pinned.
• There are no Ork Joovies; gangs consist of Gangas, Big Uns, and Da Boss.
• Ork gangs may never hire out human mercenaries.

Recruitment

The Ork gang, unlike most other gangs, doesn't recruit from the general Underhive population. The Orks recruit from their hulk section and their gangs swell with new gangas. Where these recruits come from, no one has been able to determine. However, no one as ever seen an Ork Joovie.

Equipment
