'''Urk''' is an [[Ork World]] and the planet of origin of [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]].
==History==
This planet was founded by an exploration fleet from [[Terra]] during the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. It was named '''Urokleas''' and was an excellent hub for the human race due to strong tides of the [[Warp]] flowing through the system. Urokleas prospered, for it was rich in minerals, ores and metals and within a few hundred years humans flourished, building great cities and spaceports.{{Fn|1}}
There were five tribes on the planet: the [[Goffs]], [[Bad Moons]], [[Evil Sunz]], [[Snakebites]] and [[Blood Axe]] clans. When the star around which Urk orbited began to die, a [[Space Hulk]] appeared and Ghazghkull convinced the Orks to leave on the hulk. It is assumed that since then the planet has become uninhabitable to all life.{{cite this}}
