'''Blu Toof:'''
Its uncertain as to what exactly the freeboota coated his eponymous toof with but the fact remains that he has an obsession with luck, the color blue, plunder for profit, honest merk work, and accuracy in firing. This is due to an encounter with the Rogue Trader Frederick Froogalos on Hyacinthum Hortus, at the time a great orkish Wauugh composed of dozens of tribes raged through the sector. It found its end on a blue paradise world thanks to the efforts of both a Tau military force and Hive Fleet Manticore. Many of the boys were lost to the voracious maws of the tyranids. (indeed Hive Fleet Manticore explicitly targets orks above all other foes when given a choice.) But the real losses were served out by Tau Marksmen. Blu Toof set himself apart from his fellows by doing something relatively unheard of from orks. He asked the human who'd commissioned his small Merk Band to defend a settlement in exchange for surplus PDF gear for advice 'on how to stop gettin krumped.'

Froogalos answer was revolutionary for Blu Toof's shoota boys; Rifling. The loss of so many green skins to the tau lead to an obsession with the color blue as many orks figured the tau were lucky thanks to their blue skin and its lead to the Strait Shootaz obsession with marksmanship, the color blue, and looted Tau goods. For while Blu Toof simply considers the Tau an excellent source of loot many orks took offense to their losses and decided to out do the Tau at their own game. 

Blu Toof can be categorized as charismatic for an ork, unusually so. He has proven capable of making tribes stand down and serve alongside him if not join his tribe all together. As a result the fleet make up of the Strait Shootas changes rather frequently but they're never without boys for the fight.

'''Magrumm Blakkrokka:'''
The Huntaz are the remnants of Magrumm Blakkrokka's now finished gang, formerly a group of boyz on the verge of becoming their own Waauugh. The Blakk Fangz were a roughly even split of stormboyz and Kommandos with a healthy population of shootaboys all to eager to get stuck in. This changed when they attacked a Chimera Legion cruiser under the impression that Thodos was present on the vessel. In truth "Litany of Sutured Flesh' was an enormous trap designed to end the threat of the Blakk Fangz once and for all. In a way it worked, Magrumm's clan suffered irreparable losses. Only his kommando kadre remained. After the battle only one Orkish warboss reigned supreme, the freeboota Blu Toof and the ork in question offered Magrumm a wonderful offer- all the enemies he could ever hope to krump with the freedom to choose and engage beyond a direction of 'take dat loot' or 'krump dat git fer me.'

Magrumm himself is rarely seen, but surviving witnesses describe him mostly as "huge". Roughly the size of a Dreadnought and spattered in purple warpaint, the fact that he can manage to hide anywhere is a testament to his sneakiness. He sports a huge knife in one hand and a Powerklaw in the other, and can silently slice throats with either.

Many Orks, especially former warbosses would consider this insulting; but Magrumm and Blu Toof share a dedly kunnin'. Magruum wanted to krump spikey boyz and get revenge for his destroyed horde, Blu toof wanted a kommando who could beat a dreadnaught in an arm wrestling conquest. Both got what they wanted.

As a consequence the Huntaz are entirely Magrumm's creatures and will never be deployed without him.


'''Koonan Karlayl:'''
Koonan is an ork of little imagination, he is however strongly guided by his Knowwotz and his genetic inclination is for killing things at a long distance. He started life as a Flash Git, but his exposure to withering Tau pulse rifle fire and jungle conditions lead to the adoption of kommando tactics. No matter how much he trains or how many ghillie suits he dons he is, at the end of the dayy, a flash git and will do his very best to find the biggest, meanest looking enemy and shoot him. That he happens to have a vehicle rated Tau railgun makes him frighteningly effective as sniper...after the first shot anyway. His grasp of the fairly visible nature of his weapon is in direct odds with his instinct as a Flash Git and he can't bring himself to make it more stelfy.

'''Dokta Krush:'''
Krush is an odd figure among Orks, plenty of boyz have a knowwotz but not many have two. Perhaps that explains why Krush is so driven to experimentation, creating cyborks and tinboyz and fusing tau technology and ork biology to the creation of some terrifying whole. He is aloof, and usually so focused on his projects that becoming his personal slave is actually one of the better ways for Humans and Tau to survive. He'll usually train the slaves in question to maintain things (biological or technological, sometimes its unclear which is which frankly) and set them loose to perform their role as the busy bodies that keep the Tribe functioning.

'''A'Loh'Ha:'''
Deranged Earthcaste Engineer who has embraced the Wauugh

'''Enginseer Wret:'''
Long suffering servant to a rogue trader, since sold to Blu Toof for archeotech. Leads a faction of Rebels who play a careful game of shirking with their overlords.

'''Masha Magu:'''
A Half Blind Kan specializing in sniping, excellent at hitting long distance targets but entirely reliant on his chain saw hoolahoop in CQC as it usually can't see anything close up.

'''Frederick Froogalos:'''
A wily Rogue Trader who recognized Blu Toof's kunnin and bent it to his own ends, Froogalos has managed to barely skate by under the eye of the Inquisition, arguing that pointing the Strait Shootas towards the Tau has actually benefited the Imperium. He enjoys a large discount and exclusivity deals with the Strait Shootas.
