As previously mentioned, the Ork Empire of Charadon is the largest and most long lasting Ork Empire in existence and has been a bane of Ultima Segmentum for countless centuries. This mostly has consisted of raids and failed attacks though, as there are very few documented cases of the Orks of Charadon ever actually pursuing successful wars against the Imperium. Like most Ork Empires Charadon is not capable of mustering forces with which to threaten the Imperium significantly, and is largely limited to raids which are routinely beaten off by Space Marines.

Until recently, the expansion of the Charadon empire has been limited by the [[Ultramarines]] and forces led by [[Librarian]] Tigurius have made surgical strikes upon the Arch-Arsonist's forces, preventing them from being able to organize a full scale Waaagh! into [[Ultramar]] itself.

However Tigurius's efforts are beginning to wane in the wake of Tyranid encroachment into Ultima Segmentum as the Ultramarines can no longer spare troops to hold the nearby Ork empire in check. The major Ork Empire of Charadon has seized its chance and recently invaded the Ultramar system. However, as of the beginning of the Plague Wars no mention was made of this invasion, or of Ultramar being in any form of threat. This has been explained as the Arch-Arsonist have redirected his WAAAGH! to the north where the [[Great Rift]] opened up. It helps explain how the empire inflated in size and why there was no reports of any significant Ork incursions into Ultramar space.
