The planet [[Bork]], a.k.a. Bhorc Prime, was a site of constant struggle between [[Orks]] and the [[Imperium]]. It went on until one Ork, known as [[Klawjaw]], managed to unite all Ork factions on the planet and started a massive [[Waaagh!]]. To counter it, the Imperium mustered great armies that included forces from four [[Space Marine]] [[Chapter]]s. The resulting War for Bhorc Prime revolved around four mighty battles.{{Fn|2a}}

Klawjaw's [[Ork Submersible|Submersibles]] were the key to his success, allowing the Orks to travel between the captured proto-forges and the main warzone of Bhorc Prime. To destroy them, a force of [[Dark Angels]] were teleported from orbit. They succeeded in their mission - the dockyard was in the hands of the Imperium and Klawjaw's supply lines were cut.{{Fn|2b}}

The [[Imperial Guard]] were tasked with the destruction of the Ork airfields to prevent Klawjaw's escape, whilst Orks used the captured proto-forges to create a ramshackle convoy of vehicles. Their armoured might crushed the Imperial Guard forces, the airfield remained secure and Klawjaw's forces were kept airborne.{{Fn|2c}}

Warlord's [[Gargant]] fields were clanking away at the heart of the scrap continent of Rustia, building bigger and better idols to stomp Imperial forces. A contingent of [[Howling Griffons]] was dispatched to prevent this from happening. They managed to seize the high ground, and, with commanding fire positions, they could press their attack on the Gargant fields and slow the invasion.{{Fn|2d}}

Klawjaw possessed [[Da Krater Maker]] - his pride and joy, the biggest land-based gun the sector had ever seen. The Orks planned to use it to destroy Bork's capital, [[Furnacehive]]. A combined force of [[Ultramarines]] and [[Blood Angels]] fought in an apocalyptic battle with Orks in the approaches to the Hive. They threw everything they had at Krater Maker, but in the end it just rumbled ever onwards. With a mighty kaboom! the [[hive spire]] came tumbling down.{{Fn|2e}}

Despite their victories, Imperium's forces faced defeat on Bhorc Prime. The whole planet was soon under Ork control and Warboss Klawjaw began his Waaagh! against the [[Imperium]]. It would later lead to the creation of one of the biggest Ork domains - the [[Ork Empire of Bork]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2f}}
