Orask

At the very edge of the Iquathan Deeps in the northern Ultima Segmentum, near the border of the Ghoul Star sits the Sentinel World of Orask. In recent times, a most terrible assault occurred in 977.M41, when a splinter of the Eastern Hive Fleets of the Tyranid menace appeared, disoriented and twisted by its passage through the Ghoul Stars, and fell on the Orask System like a ravenous beast. A great battle ensued, that was brief but bloody. The stoic defenders of Orask were backed by a full company of the Red Talons Space Marine Chapter and a Titan maniple from the Legio Magna. Despite horrific casualties into the tens of thousands sustained within a matter of mere days, the valiant defenders were able to push back their monstrous attackers. Eventually they contained the threat and purged the vile xenos from Orask's blasted surface. Though evidence persists that some harbinger organisms escaped to the outer systems.
