This planet was founded by an exploration fleet from [[Terra]] during the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. It was named '''Urokleas''' and was an excellent hub for human race due to strong tides of [[Warp]] flowing through system. Urokleas prospered, for it was reach for minerals, ores and metals and within a few hundred years humans flourished, building great cities and spaceports.{{Fn|1}}
Then the planet was attacked by [[Ork]]s, who razed all on their way and eventually gone to space again, leaving behind them only their spores. These spores were the beginning of the future history of the planet. Due to the flow of the Warp, space-faring race again habited [[Zornian System]]. The Urokleas was an [[Eldar]] outpost, the home of a cluster of [[Spinedorians]], and a [[Hrud]] warren. At times, the dormant Ork spores erupted, and greenskins develop in some secretive corner of the planet.{{Fn|1}}
At the time of the [[Great Crusade]], humanity returned again. Now the planet was conquered by the force of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion]]. Mankind mined there, build the hive cities on the planet and the spaceports on its twin moons. Then in the middle of [[M32]] the greenskin [[Waaagh!]] swept the system. It was the largest recorded Ork invasion, with dozens of conflicts raging across all five segmentum. Soon the Zornian System and Urokleas were conquered by Orks. The tides changed again, making the Zornian System no longer easily accessible.{{Fn|1}}
For nearly eight thousand years Urokleas, renamed '''Urk''', was a battleground for warring greenskin tribes. There was no one mighty leader to combine the greenskins into the Waaagh! So the Orks fought with each other in endless battles. It was until the [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]] was born.{{Fn|1}}
It was there that Ghazghkull received the head wound that led to his famous [[Ork Bioniks|bionik]] implant being made and put in by [[Mad Dok Grotsnik]]. After this he worked his way up the ranks, quickly coming to rule over all the [[Ork]]s of the [[Goff]] tribe.
