An '''Orbital Strike''' is a bombardment from outer space, by ships, to a planet. Orbital Strikes usually precede an invasion by [[Space Marine Chapter]]s, [[Imperial Guard Regiment]]s, or task forces of one of the [[Chamber Militant]] of the [[Inquisition]]. Orbital Strikes can also be used to soften, or destroy a specific target, but the targeting computers on board the ship usually are not as precise as to be able to allow this.{{Fn|1}}
