From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
There is no information about the name of space hulk anywhere
His incompetence was seen right from the very beginning of the [[Second War for Armageddon|second war]]. He was given several warnings about the potential invasion: The [[Imperial Tarot]] gave the same reading of disaster, time after time; [[Navigators]] on incoming freighters warned of a massive warp storm brewing; and the Statue of the [[Emperor]] in [[Hive Helsreach]] wept bloody tears. von Strab ignored them all.
Then the hulk [[Alveus Alpha Alpha Sextusspace hulk]] appeared from the [[warp]] in the [[Armageddon]] system. Instead of sending ships to investigate the hulk, von Strab simply said that no piece of "cosmic flotsam" could threaten his ancestral world.
He did only the minimum he needed to do to satisfy appearances. He complied with the standard instructions in the [[Codex Ministorum]] and notified the [[Administratum]] of the sighting, but that was all. Only after the first [[Ork]]s landed did a distress signal go out, and von Strab then banished the sender of that message, [[Commissar]] [[Yarrick]], to [[Hades Hive]]. von Strab didn't wish to trouble the [[Imperium]] with this fight, as he was confident he could deal with the Orks himself.
