Ork
,→Technology
Ork "teknologee" appears ramshackle and slapped-together, but is as potent as any weaponry used by the [[Imperium]]. Ork technology is characterised by a constant stream of poorly thought-out experimentation and constantly trying to outdo the competition to build the biggest gun, the largest [[Gargant]], or the fastest [[Warbuggy]]. Therefore Ork technology is not uniform, lending Ork Warbands a cobbled together and random appearance. Ork Mekboyz are specialists in the field of producing powerful [[Ork Force Field|Force Field]]s that can protect against damage, and at battlefield improvisation of repairs. They can salvage almost any burnt-out wreck, and many Ork vehicles have been reported destroyed dozens of times, only to be cobbled back together, given a fresh lick of paint (if even that), and sent back into the fray. The tough, resilient nature of Orks means they accept crude [[bionic]] enhancements, transplants, and other medical shenanigans being performed on them with ease.{{Fn|27a}}
Much of Ork technology is unreliable and sometimes seemingly inoperable to other races, in some cases only working properly in the hands of an Ork. This has led to some members of the Adeptus Mechanicus to theorize that the physic psychic nature of the Orks has an impact on their technology, assisting in making it function as it should. However, whether this is actually the case or not is inconclusive.{{Fn|14}}
