The Ork invasion
====The Ork invasion====
When the [[Gehenna system]] fell victim to [[Waaagh! Hargluk]] the [[Orks]] arrived on three different [[Space Hulk]]s that plowed through the system's defences of fighters and orbital monitors in a matter of days. When the Orks attacked Gehenna Prime thousands of them were killed in their landing crafts by ground-based missile batteries and defence lasers. Thousands more however managed to survive and established a landing zone in the western districts of [[Hive]] [[Kravaster]].{{Fn|4}}  It was also the site of an [[Ork]] invasion. During the war most of the Orks besieging the hive world's capital hive were drawn off by [[Imperial Guard]] armoured companies under the command of [[Colonel]] [[Born Tahal]]. This allowed Imperial reinforcements to land at the capital and break the siege a few weeks later.{{Cite This}}
Tahal's adversary was the Ork Warlord [[Hargluk]], the commander of the entire invasion. The Imperial army consisted of [[Legio Metalica]] [[Titan]]s supported by [[Blood Angels]] [[Space Marines]].{{Fn|2}}
