The Ork is happier than a squig in mud, and the chance to rampage through an Imperial Subsector Capital delights him.

	Unlike many other worlds in the Cloudburst Sector, the Oglith military does not field any unique weapons. However, Oglith does field some of its units out of the standard Imperial proportions, such as including armed Field Medics in units that traditionally not get them, or get fewer if they did. This extends to the Jaegers, who frequently enjoy Field Medics or even Battlefield Surgeons attached as low as squad level. This is thanks to the Oglith Medical College structure attached to one of its orbitals, where prospective medics train under Guard professionals and civilian doctors to administrate care to wounded soldiers. Many systems in the Imperium have one of these, but they are expensive, and few Cloudburst systems construct them unless needed. For a Frontier World to have one is rare in the extreme, not that anybody’s complaining.		Unlike many other worlds in the Cloudburst Sector, the Oglith military does not field any unique weapons.

			The Oglith Medical College is yet another sign of how the Imperial Navy intends to expand beyond the borders of Oglith, towards the Galactic North and its limiting Terminus Shock. The original plan for the College was that it would accelerate and enable the training and dispatch of extra medical personnel to the crews of Imperial Navy exploration and patrol ships as their jurisdictions expanded beyond the previous Imperial borders. Although oft-interrupted by war, stellar phenomena, and the shrinking of the Astronomican’s projection range, the plan continues. The Imperial Naval command elements of the Cloudburst Sector have even gone so far as to attach a small Schola Progenum and Imperial Exchequer facility to the orbiting medical school, to raise the profile of their efforts. Cynical observers have noted that this is more likely an effort to counteract negativity over the growing and embarrassing public spectacle of Port Maxient’s jurisdictional battles, rather than an actual strengthening of the Imperial border.

	In the years prior to the Seventh Glasian Migration, Oglith’s portentous role in the coming war came clearer and clearer. Multiple Tarot readings and statistical projections pointed to the same thing, from the Deathwatch to the Guard to the Inquisition: Oglith would come under brutal assault in the Seventh Glasian Migration, far worse than any other system except Septiim. Since the total number of systems hit by the enemy would be higher than any previous wave, and each wave had ten percent more Glasians in it than the one before, the Inquisition was able to calculate the number of defenses each of the six worlds in the aliens’ path would need to fend them off. The Blue Daggers would hold the enemy at Septiim, of course, but to the Inquisition’s disquiet, two of the worlds the Glasians were going to hit were not of modern tech levels, and two were Subsector Capitals. The proportionate response needed to protect two targets of such vulnerability and two targets of strategic indispensability would be staggering, nearly as much as the Cloudburst Sector could afford to spend. That meant there was no room for error.		In the years prior to the Seventh Glasian Migration, Oglith’s portentous role in the coming war came clearer and clearer.

	As the Imperium began raising, arming, dispatching, and training troops, Oglith’s defenses hardened. The Migrations are far enough apart that few humans alive for one would be alive for the next without extensive augmetics or juvenat. Each world hit had to learn the lessons of the previous generation all over again. Oglith, which had never been hit by a Migration, didn’t even have the advantage of second-hand experience for its own drills. The populace had its own concerns for much of its history, with pirates and the ever-present subterranean Orks remaining a problem. Privately, some Astra Militarum and Administratum officials wondered how in the world they were going to keep the natural emotional ~~backswell~~ of the Migration from driving the Orks below into a frenzy.

Privately, some Astra Militarum and Administratum officials wondered how in the world they were going to keep the natural emotional back-swell of the Migration from driving the Orks below into a frenzy.

	As of M41.998, that became a secondary concern. Without warning, a vast flotilla of Ork ships arrived at the edge of the Rampart system Security Zone. The Orks blew past the shocked defenders in the outer system, who had not expected a battle for another two years. The greenskin flotilla managed to make it within four hundred thousand kilometers of the planet Oglith before the SDF and Navy intercepted them with anything heavier than a light gunboat. Once the Orks had closed enough to come within range of the heavy guns of Oglith’s orbitals and defense fleet, however, the greenskins ran headlong into the teeth of Imperial weapons fire. The cannonades of the Imperial warships hulled two Ork frigates before the core of the greenskin formation pushed past them into orbit. Immediately, the ships in orbit started landing hundreds of shuttles and Roks, disgorging tens of thousands of Orks onto the planet below. The trip they had taken from the edge of the system to the world was a long one, over three weeks of flight, but that was not even a fraction of the time the Astra Militarum below had needed to retool their anti-Glasian defenses for Ork-hunting. Greenskins by the battalion spilled from huge landing Roks and looted Imperial shuttles, and from contraptions of their own. Shuttles and Roks landed more and more boyz, and the shuttles returned for more.		As of M41.998, that became a secondary concern.

	The Sector Administratum had to make a choice. Electing to strip nearly all non-Marine defense from Septiim and send it where it was needed, the Astra Militarum Cloudburst sent over two million troops to Oglith, with more slated for departure as soon as the Migration ends. The Blue Daggers now must defend their home system with little backup from the Guard.		The Sector Administratum had to make a choice.

The Blue Daggers now must defend their home system with little backup from the Guard.
	If the Migration claims no worlds, then the Blue Daggers and the Guard will be able to send many of their forces to Oglith and Foraldshold, to help break the grasp of the greenskins on those indispensable worlds. However, even through the pressure of a full-scale Ork invasion, the leaders of the Oglith defenses have not forgotten that their world is a Migration target too. All told, the Guard and Inquisition have directed two million four hundred thousand troops to the site of the Ork attack, and although the number of Orks from the surface invasion has dropped somewhat, Orks are now appearing and attacking settlements on the other side of Oglith, where there have been no recorded landings.

	Lord General Halwart, the blowhard but fearless commander of the Imperial Guard forces dispatched to contain and kill the Glasians, re-tasked his entire force, and collected two million more Guardsmen besides to fight off the Orks. Oglith is fighting for its life, now, because if the Glasians manage to push past the Orks to high orbit, the surface war will upend in an instant. Anti-siege tactics that work against Glasians simply don’t work against Orks.

	Other Imperial assets are flying to Oglith as well. So far, four Oglith Jaeger regiments, nine regiments of Stormtroopers and Scions from other worlds, and two million non-Oglith Guardsmen have flown to Oglith. The unrelated Ork invasion of Foraldshold has drawn off several hundred thousand more men, and Oglith’s commanders are desperately begging for more, but unless Cardinal Lamarr can be pled into parting with his own mercenary army, there is likely little else to send. A Templar ~~Psychologis~~ team tasked with maintaining civilian morale is also on the way from Segmentum Command, however.		Other Imperial assets are flying to Oglith as well.

	The fighting has spread across the globe, with little preference by its participants for locale. From the frigid polar landmasses to the sprawling, airy cities of the tropics, the Orks and Imperium have clashed. The fighting has spread to the Mechanicus weather and terraforming control machines, which the Techpriests now defend with desperate vigor. The mighty bastion fortress Lightwall has had its outer defenses challenged twice, and both times, it nearly fell to Ork kunnin’. The fighting near the capital is now so intense that Cognomen advisors to the Astra Militarum defenders there under Lord General Halwart have quietly suggested that the time may have come for a visit from House Matraxia.

	The Oglith Defenders are a capable if uninspired PDF. As with many Frontier Worlds, it benefits from its members being fairly skilled with guns and self-preservation even before joining, though given Oglith’s lack of predators and other threats, most of that skill comes from self-granted self-defense training or scholastic Ork Preparedness drills. Its members garrison in their own hometowns whenever possible, both to allow them to keep families intact and to ensure that they are properly motivated if the Orks ever breach the surface. Members are encouraged to quarter with their own families. If that is not an option, apartments and barracks are provided. Weapon lockers and armory vaults dot several towns so that local Defenders can arm up and fight in no time, without leaving the confines of the city they are supposed to protect. Vehicles usually cache in garages and tarmacs outside town airfields or VTOL ports, just in case. Tanks and other valuable vehicles may park underground where possible, though these garages usually have thick metal braces on the floors to prevent Orks from burrowing up and stealing the vehicles from below.

	The planet has severe shortcomings in one crucial field: surface-to-space weapons. Some of the older cities have them, but newer ones universally do not. The Astra Militarum realized that if the Orks ever took the surface, the last thing the Imperium wanted to worry about was being fired on by intact surface-to-space weaponry. Normally, Ork invasions come from space, where their slow, ramshackle ships are vulnerable to surface Defense Lasers and Defense Silos, and if they capture said weapons, they usually dismantle them. However, if Orks invading from below were to capture such weapons, they would surely salvage them to mount on ships. The Navy and Mechanicus cannot stomach the idea of their own heavy weapons turning on them as such. They instead have mounted many of the world’s defense weapons in space, either on void platforms drifting in far orbit around Oglith or on its Navy stations in medium orbit. As a Subsector Capital, Oglith benefits from a Subsector Fortress, a modified Xerxes 3 that houses the Subsector Overlord when he isn’t in his mansion on the surface. The modifications include larger administrative and life support areas, as well as a small shipbuilding cradle that can handle hulls up to Falchion size. The Navy plans to manufacture far larger yards once the Ork problem resolves. The very name of the system bespeaks the intent of the Navy to defend it more heavily in the future.

	Other orbital defenses include the system’s SDF and Battlefleet Rampart. The Battlefleet assigned to Oglith comes from its own small yards and Cognomen, but it also has several small ships taken from pirates over the years. As a Subsector with two Frontier Worlds and as the outer border of the entire Imperium, the Rampart Subsector has had more than its fair share of pirates and raiders.

	The colony administrator scoffed at the initial reports of the scouts and Mechanicus. How, he asked, could an Ork infestation survive the ~~ravagings~~ of Chaos?

How had they fed themselves for two thousand years? Where could they have found the technology and labor they would have needed to survive in an area with no self-replenishing oxygen?<br>
	Where the Mechanicus took these questions as a challenge, the administrator asked them out of disbelief. It was impossible, he proclaimed, that the world could have had that many Orks. Surely, somebody would have seen them, or they would have starved long ago. Locked securely in his denial, the administrator began the colonization process.

Surely, somebody would have seen them, or they would have starved long ago. Locked securely in his denial, the administrator began the colonization process.

	As years went by with no sign of Orks, even in the young colony’s few surface mines, the administrator seemed vindicated. Eventually, Oglith’s economy and military capability grew enough that it became the next Subsector Capital, and the seat of Battlefleet Rampart. Shipyards sprouted in orbit, scavengers ripped the remaining ancient ruins apart for materials and archaeotech, and cities rose from the plains. Mechanicus terraforming efforts continued, despite their knowledge of the Orks below the surface. First, they introduced Terran plants grown from genestocks of the pre-Unification genolabs of Luna. Next came tiny herbivores, given a few generations to reproduce in the abundant food supply. Then came birds, then small land mammals and Grox. After a few centuries of hard work, life on Oglith became bearably comfortable.
