Minelayer
Ork Minelayer is a strange Ork craft, suspended in mid air by powerful repulsor fields.Created by infamous Mekboy Orghamek, it is used to create whole minefields of floating Repulsor Mines. Alternatively, it is occasionally used for repair works or simply as a dropship. Despite their indirect uses, Minelayers are still Ork ships and are usually equipped with powerful weaponry.[3]
Landa
Landa is a name for large transport aircraft Orks use to land troops and smaller vehicles from orbiting spacecraft to the surface and to quickly move them from one battlefield to another. They are slower and more ponderous than any Ork or Imperial Aircraft but are extremely tough and can ignore damage deadly to most aircraft. Landas are equipped with numerous gun turrets and rokkits that allow them to lay down an impressing rain of fire against enemy aircraft that gets close enough or support disembarking troops once on the ground.[4]
Ork Assault Boat
Orks make use of assault boats for boarding actions during space battles. More or less equivalent to other races' counterparts, they basically are an Ork-filled armoured shell with a piercing beak at one end and a great big engine at the other. Resembling Boarding Torpedoes almost as much as they do Attack Craft, these machines are quite effective at delivering their deadly cargo to a target despite their simplistic nature.[7]
Ork Drop Pod
Orks are also known to use starship-launched landing craft, analogous to Space Marine Drop Pods, although usually far larger. Sometimes referred to as Krash-Kapsuls, they were used during The Fires of Phaistos. They are rarely used as most Orks prefer to use Roks as makeshift drop pods.[6]
