'''Freebooterz''' are [[Ork]]s{{Fn|1a}} (and in rare cases - [[Gretchins]]){{Fn|6}} who have separated themselves from their clan (by choice or through being exiled) and go off to live the life of pirates and mercenaries.{{Fn|1a}}
==Overview==
[[Image:10423949 790700324296887 8753014424465255619 n - Copy.jpg|thumb|200px|right|A Freebooters Ork{{Fn|4}}]]
The composition of Freebooter bands can vary greatly depending on their origin and history; some are the remnants of shattered warbands, others are eccentrics or fugitives from Ork society.{{Fn|1a}}
The universal symbol of the Freebooterz is the '''''Jolly Ork''''' - an Ork Skull and Crossbones motif which often adorns their clothes, banners and vehicles.{{Fn|1a}}
As Freebooterz are very often the most widely travelled of their kind, they can be an invaluable source of knowledge for the curious Ork who wishes to learn about the wider [[galaxy]], if they can sift through a long stream of information and sort out the truth from the boasting, exaggerations and lies. Any significant Ork Waaagh! is very likely to attract Freebooterz, if nothing else than to say they were there (in all the most important battles, obviously).{{Fn|13}}
===Types of Ork Freebooter===
*'''Renegade Mekboyz''' - [[Mekboyz]] from different tribes (often meeting during a [[Waaagh!]]) who have banded together through common interests{{Fn|1d}}
* '''Bad Docs''' - [[Painboyz]] who have been cast out of their tribes for particularly deranged "eksperimentz," such as transplanting orks' brains with those of [[squigs]].{{Fn|1g}}
*[[Beast Snaggas]] led{{Fn|12}} by a [[Beastboss]]{{Fn|11}} [[Kaptin]]{{Fn|12}}
* '''Renegade Runtmasters''' - [[Runtherdz]] who tire of seeing their precious grots used as cannon fodder and abandon their tribe{{Fn|1f}}
* '''Renegade [[Speed Freaks]]''' and '''Bad Ork Bikeboyz''' - speed-addicted Orks, often exiled from their tribes for particularly destructive acts of vehicular madness{{Fn|1k}}
* '''Gretchin Bandits''' - Outcast [[grotz]] who style themselves after Ork Freebooterz{{Fn|1e}}
* [[Genestealer Hybrid#Non-Human Hybrids|Ork-Genestealer Brood]] - "The Green Brood" a group of Orks who have been contaminated by [[Genestealers]] and produced Ork/Genestealer hybrids{{Fn|1i}}
