A star's youth passes quickly even in geologic time. Planets are born over the course of some millions of years, the star slowly begins to warm up as more helium is fused in the core, and the excess debris is purged by T Tauri winds driving dust and ice particles to the solar system's fringes. Emmen Prime is in the midst of just this process. It is a small whitish-yellow star not much bigger than Sol, with an enormous disc of tumbling rock and ice escorting it through the universe. Someday these lumps will coalesce into planets of various types, but for now they are simply drifting at random. 

Some of these protoplanets are molten hot from previous impacts, but many have cooled and solidified through the whims of chance. It is here that Ork upon Ork have chosen to make their fortresses, bursting with fungus life in a million isolated ecosystems. They wage war on one another constantly, destroying anything they can get their green hands on and bickering at the slightest provocation. The Imperium has cordoned off Emmen Prime with a vast net of orbital fortresses carved into asteroids orbiting near the system's outer fringe. 

Millions of Guardsmen and naval vessels stand permanent vigil here, remaining hidden until the last possible second to avoid giving the squabbling Orks a target to rally against. When a particularly ambitious Ork gathers a nascent WAAAGH! to himself and threatens to leave the system, concealed weapons extend from unsuspicious rocks and blast the crude Orkish vessels to smithereens, then retract to become invisible once more. The Imperium would love nothing more than to purge the Emmen Prime system of its green infestation, but the sheer number of hiding places and Orks renders this a difficult task at best. 

A mighty Crusade will eventually descend upon the myriad Orks, the War Scribes at its head, but such plans are as yet merely paper tigers. There are several prominent backers of this embryonic Crusade though, chief among them the inhabitants of the Govirex system. They would love nothing more than to haul Emmen's nigh-infinite geological wealth to their drifting hab-bubble homes, for they are always in need of mineral resources to forge repair equipment. All the Govirexians need is the support of a prominent Inquisitor or Administratum notable, and the tide of war will turn towards Emmen.
