==Overview==
===Prelude===
Once an [[Ork Boy]] [[Goff]] of [[Krugg|Krugg the Tyrant]] on the world of [[Eyrok]], Grukk fought for Krugg's [[Bad Moon]]s for many years. The situation changed when [[Big Mek]] [[Mogrok]] arrived on Eyrok, having been marooned by [[Freebooterz]]. Mogrok convinced Grukk that rather than fighting a few Orks on some backwards planet, he should be conquering [[System]]s. With the spirit of ambition in Grukk, the two oversaw the fall of Krugg. During the fight for dominance, Grukk sawed through the Tyrant's face with a saw-klaw, and thereafter became known as Grukk ''Face-Rippa''. Within a week, Grukk managed to unite the Orks of Eyrok and began constructing ships with the help of Mogrok.{{Fn|2}}
Soon enough Grukk and his forces began their rampage, targeting the [[Sanctus Reach]]. [[SectorLord]] Lord [[Vargan]] was taken completely by surprise as the Orks ravaged the jungle moons of [[Laos]], overran the Penal penal colony of [[Night's End]], and ambushed and destroyed Vargan's fleet in an asteroid field. With every raid and battlemore Orks flocked to Grukk’s banner, and his legend took root in the minds of greenskinsacross the breadth of the Sanctus Sub-sector. In the space of a few short years, a [[sector ]] ofspace considered desolate was teeming with Orks, all bawling the name Grukk into the dark.{{Fn|2}}
