Stenoth was the site of a battle between the Imperium and a massive Ork horde during the Wars of Admonishment.[1]
During the war, the Imperium's advance against the Xenos was stymied by a city-sized Ork fortress known as Gork's Gut. Millions of Orks defended the fortress, which at its highest points broke the upper atmosphere of Stenoth, and it contained heavy ordnance, as well as being wreathed in Kustom Force Fields. These defenses resulted in the Imperium's first two massive attacks against Gork's Gut ending in failure and a large loss of life. Before a third attempt was made, several Blood Angels Primaris Kill-Teams were sent to infiltrate the Ork fortress and disable its defenses. Though they faced heavy resistance from the Orks, the Kill Teams were successful in knocking out the fortress' shield generators, demolishing its main gate from within, and assassinating – at steep cost in lives – the Orks’ Warlord. When the third Imperial attack was then launched, it surged to victory thanks to the Blood Angels' efforts.[1]
