There is no information about the name of space hulk anywhere
Within six years he had risen to control of his tribe as [[Warboss]], and one year later he got his opportunity. The star around which his planet was orbiting was dying. There were severe solar flares causing many deaths from radiation, but fortunately a massive [[Space Hulk]] appeared in orbit around the planet. Whether this was dumb luck or a higher power believed him worthy of survival, he managed to convince the other four tribes on the planet to follow him on his great [[Waaagh!]] and unite under his rule. While en-route the power systems on the hulk failed several times and the Orks had to fight off hundreds of [[Daemon]]s, providing them with battle experience.{{Cite This}}
One month before landing, the hulk, named arrived [[Alveus Alpha Alpha Sextus]]{{Cite This}} by Imperial [[Administratorspace hulk]]s, blew away the defences of the Armageddon system, including obsolete orbital satellites and small attack craft. Desperate messages were sent in the hope of acquiring aid. Three [[Space Marine Chapter]]s began to organize themselves but would not be able to get there before the Orks landed. A month later the Orks disembarked, beginning the major section of the war for Armageddon on the day of the [[Feast of the Emperor's Ascension]], 941.[[M40]].{{Cite This}}
