Laying on the very edge of [[Ultima Segmentum]], situated next to a nexus of [[Warp]] Routes, and bordering the mysterious [[Ghoul Stars]], Orask garrisoned by a stoic breed of warlike people as well as [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s and even detachments from the [[Space Marines]] and [[Collegia Titanica]]. This formidable force is needed to man its planet-wide network of defenses, and Orask is frequently used by mankind as a base for expeditions into unknown parts of the [[Galaxy]]. The surface of the planet itself is largely devoid of life, consisting of open plains blasted by war.{{Fn|1}} Because of its location, Orask has suffered repeated attacks over the years. These have included a previously unknown [[xenos]] race, [[Dark Mechanicum]] forces under arch-[[Heretek]] [[Cykor Marlowe]], and [[Chaos]] renegades. However , its most serious threat came in 977.[[M41]] with a [[Tyranid]] invasion, sparking the [[Orask Wars]].{{Fn|1}}. It suffered another Tyranid attack in the [[Third Tyrannic War]], when a splinter of [[Hive Fleet ]] [[Pythos (Hive Fleet)|Pythos]] invades invaded the world. The [[Red Talons]] [[Chapter]] have come to Orask's aid once more and the Fortress World has so far held against the Tyranid invasion.{{Fn|2}}
