Ullanor Crusade (Hektor Heresy)

This article is about a battle in the /tg/ Heresy project, a fan re-working of the Warhammer 40k universe.

The Ullanor Crusade was a military campaign in the Great Crusade. Under the command of the Emperor and Hektor Cincinnatus, forces of the Imperium destroyed the largest Ork Empire in the Galaxy, eliminating the last great threat to humanity.

Background

When the Iron Rangers first reported that they had encountered unusually strong Ork resistance in the Ullates Sector, little was said of it in the busy planning rooms of the Great Crusade. However, follow-up reports explaining that the Rangers had been held up by the Orks for several months and that they had found Orks under the same banner in the neighboring Endia and Bhusan sectors drew the attention of the Emperor himself. Reports from Rogue Traders and Explorators in neighboring sectors were carefully scrutinized. As the Imperium became aware of the full scale of Khork's dominion, Rogerius Merrill was summoned to the world of Komencante, to meet with the Emperor and the Primarchs Hektor and Alexandri of Rosskar. No reprimand of the Iron Rangers was made. Instead the four settled down to plan a great campaign to destroy Ullanor.
