Rok
,no edit summary
A '''Rok''' is a form of spaceship used by the [[Ork]]s, basically a large hollowed out asteroid fitted with guns, engines, guns, targeting systems and some more guns. Roks are incapable of [[warp]] travel and are used to drift from one world to another within a [[system]].<sup>1</sup>
Its known that any system containing Orks will quickly gather a large number of Roks as they are ''"built"'' at a startling rate. Notable engagements against them include an encounter in the Kaloth system in 147.M41 when an [[Imperial]] cruiser force swept the region for pirates leading to the destruction of seven enemy escort class ships along with four Roks. In 148.M41, twenty one Roks were encountered by another expedition in the same system but were forced to disengage after the battlecruiser ''Stalwart Warrior'' suffered crippling damage in the battle that nearly led to it being overwhelmed by Ork boarding parties.<sup>2-p63</sup>
