Ork presence in the Anargo sector[/u]
+ + +
Ever since the first human scout ships came to the Anargo sector during the Age of Technology, orks have had a major presence. Records show wars with the orks in the Anargo sector since the first colonies in M23.
In M32 of the Age of the Imperium, the war known as the Great Cleansing saw the first recorded absence of orks in the Anargo sector, as the powerful Imperial forces in the sector launched a crusade to rid the sector of all aliens. After this massive crusade, the huge ork empire of the Anargo sector was totally annihilated, along with the empire of the now extinct Spirians.
Over fifty ork-held worlds in more than thirty star systems were exterminated by the Imperial Navy. The majority of these worlds can be found in the region known as the Meksumian Chasm, near the Meksum subsector.
It wasn't till M36 that the orks returned in great numbers, when Waaagh! Tuskragga plowed into the Anargo sector after laying the Cruciatine sector in ruins. The remnants of Waaagh! Tuskragga carved a small empire in the corner of the Anargo sector, continuing their rampage untill they finally broke upon the Castellan subsector.
In 470.M41, the vast majority of the Orks in the Anargo sector can be found in the Cruciatinian gulf, near the Cruciatine sectore. In addition, the Imperium estimates that there are half a dozen star systems in other parts of the sector, where the orks have taken root.
Several Imperial worlds in the region also report moderate ork infestations, such as Castellan, Massil and Seleca Prime.[/color]
