S.S. Icerok

Orks Portal

The S.S. Icerok was an ork seagoing vessel active during the Third War for Armageddon.^[1]

Carved from a gigantic glacier in the Netheria Peninsula, an iceberg was then fitted with big gunz and the ability to carry lots of boyz and fighta-bommerz, not only was the S.S. Icerok formidably armed, but due to its unique construction it was also almost undetectable by Imperial heat augurs.^[1]

The Imperium did manage to detect the vessel before it could launch and attack the hives of Armageddon Secundus, however. A force from the Arphista Penal Legion airdropped onto the S.S. Icerok and were able to destroy its engines with explosive charges, putting it out of action.^[2]
