Blood Ravens observing an Orbital Strike

An Orbital Strike is a bombardment from outer space, by ships, to a planet. Orbital Strikes usually precede an invasion by Space Marine Chapters, Imperial Guard Regiments, or task forces of one of the Chamber Militant of the Inquisition. Orbital Strikes can also be used to soften, or destroy a specific target, but the targeting computers on board the ship usually are not as precise as to be able to allow this.[1]

Some forms of Orbital Strike technology, such as that used by the Blood Ravens, appear to grab infantry units, slowly pulling them up into the air against their will before slamming them down alongside the energy beam.[2][3]

  • An orbital strike hitting Orks
