Orks

The Orks are a crude, warlike xenos race whose defeat at Ullanor became the crowning achievement of the Great Crusade (and the occasion for the Triumph at which Horus was named Warmaster). The White Scars waged a long anti-ork campaign in the Chondax system, which ended just as the legion learned of Horus’s betrayal and found its exit blocked by the Alpha Legion. A neutral xenos threat.
