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 the human race due to strong tides of the [[Warp]] flowing through the system. Urokleas prospered, for it was rich in 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 in their way, 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 races again inhabited the [[Zornian System]]. 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 developed in some secretive corner of the planet.{{Fn|1}}
It was then 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.{{cite this}}
There were five tribes on the planet, ; the [[Goffs]], [[Bad Moons]], [[Evil Sunz]], [[Snakebites]] and the [[Blood Axe]] clans. When the star around which Urk orbited began to die, a [[Space Hulk]] appeared and Ghazghkull convinced the Orks to leave on the hulk. It is assumed that since then the planet has become uninhabitable to all life.{{cite this}}
