Baddkrasha
King Mek Baddkrasha was an Ork Mek Boss who during the Octarian War created a crown-like device that disrupted the synaptic control of the Tyranid organisms of Hive Fleet Leviathan.[1]
After breaking swarm after swarm, Baddkrasha's device came to the attention of Deathwatch Kill-Teams from the Eye of Octos Watch Fortress, who were on a mission to maintain the stalemate between the Orks and Tyranids in the Octarius Sector. Wanting to obtain the crown for further study, the Kill-Teams waited until Baddkrasha's horde and the current Tyranid swarm they fought had decimated each other, before attacking and killing the Mek Boss. Afterwards, they withdrew back to the Eye of Octos, with Baddkrasha's crown still attached to his head.[1]
The Crown of Baddkrasha later became a key piece of technology during the Veloria experiment of the Octarius War.[1]
