Ork vessels follow the usual tendencies of Ork Technology and vary immensely in the components they are constructed from, being more the result of individual experimentation and patchworks of salvaged parts than of planned starship manufacture. Even the ships built by the same Meks will differ. Ork Spaceships are full of various ramshackle devices, many of which are of unknown purpose. Those that can be identified vary tremendously between different ships and may even be a looted technology of other races. Components are often customised by Ork [[Mekboy]]s, giving them even more unrecognisable and bizzare appearanceappearances. {{Fn|2}}
==Essential Components==
Ork warp travel is an uncertain and erratic process, and the warp drives that allow it are similarly unstable. Some are rebuilt from the ruins of salvaged Imperial warp drives, while others may be a bizarre contraptions built around the disembodied brains of the Ork [[Weirdboy]]s. Whatever the manner of their construction, Ork warp engines carry a ship into, through, and out of the [[Warp]].{{Fn|2}}
===Gellar fields===
In place of the flickering [[Geller field]]s of [[Imperial]] starships, Orks use a variety of adornments, totems, huge hull-plate “teef,” and protective glyphs to ward off the malign influence of the [[Warp]]. It is unknown if these actually scare off warp creatures as [[Freebooter]]z have been known to claim or simply inspire such confidence in their crews that the ships are wreathed in a crackling shield of [[Waaagh!]] energy while in the Warp. It is possible that [[daemon]]s just aren't so fond of Ork souls taste as they are with human ones. They seem to work most of the time, but occasionnaly occasionally daemons are able to pass to Ork ships, providing entertainment to bored crews.{{Fn|2}}
===Ship’s bridge===
The bridges of Ork ships are dark and dank cavernous chambers, bedecked with supplies, ammunition, piles of loot and machinery of indeterminate purpose. Their only common feature is a giant red button, linked directly to the main drives of the ship, controlling its powerful thursters.{{Fn|2}}
