The Volemar Gamma Campaign was a series of battles fought by the First Legion and Second Legion for control of a fortress-asteroid in the Sol System. Volemar Gamma was infested with foul Orks and the fight to eliminate them from the asteroid's many tunnels required the specialist skills of both Legions.
Background
The presence of Orks in the Solar System was one of the most unsavory relics of the Age of Strife. Although it is unclear exactly when Volemar Gamma became infested by greenskins, fragmentary records on Terra and the much more substantial archives of Mars indicate that Orkish incursions were an uncommon but hardly unheard-of addition to the misery of Old Night. Following the Unity, the Emperor of Mankind set his Space Marines to purging the foul Orks from humanity's birth system.
