Waaagh! Skrak

Coming out of seemingly nowhere, the Waaagh! Of Capt’n Skrak was a surprisingly dangerous threat to the Imperium in Segmentum Obscurus. Imperial sources do not record where the Freebootaz originated, with some historians theorising that they were an off-shoot of the Ork Empire of Ullanor. Waaagh! Skrak is known for its naval skill, launching devastating raids against unsuspecting worlds and somehow avoiding attempts to hunt them down. No one world has been identified as their base, with several moons being cleared of Ork infestation but new bases continued to sprout.

Waaagh! Skrak would plague western Obscurus from 009 to 011.M31, starting with raiding shipping between Obscurus and Pacificus and then growing to attack multiple worlds. The Imperial Army and Navy worked to pin the Waaagh! Down, but the cunning of War Boss Skrak allowed him to elude engagements. Even the Warriors of Peace struggled to defeat his Waaagh!, being unable to initiate decisive engagements and being ambushed several times. It would require the Jade General himself to finally outmanoeuvre the Ork War Boss, and end the Orks’ rampage.
