The dredfleet of kaptin Blacktoof had haunted the eastern fringe for over 4 decades, sowing untold destruction and destroying any fleet sent after it. However one fateful day the freeboota's reputation became so great that he could not be ignored by the imperial authorities. The kaptin had set up a proper feast, with food captured from several ships and their crew's as entertainment. just before the kaptin opened up the feast for all the nobs and minor kaptins in his fleet, he fell down stone dead, one bullet hole found in his skull. Bluddkniff thought he saw a sly, shadowy figure above the feast but it was too late. This spawned an orgy of battle and murder on an unprecedented scale for leadership, the few kaptins who thought farther then killing fought their way to the hangas and took off for their ships. Gorgit and his krew managed to get to their ship just as the power core on Blacktoof's ship overloaded and blew up several of the smaller ships around it. The battle in space started then, with Gorgits ship taking a lot of punishment from the other orks, but dealing more than he could ever take with the ship's banks beamy gunz "expartley" aimed by Tekno. After a prolonged fight eventually things died down but most of the fleet was destroyed. Just as the surviving kaptin's had agreed to stop shooting eachother and decide who was the boss, a strikeforce of the imperial navy warped in and ripped several of the greenskin ships apart before they could even react. The survival instinct in ork leaders is strong, strong enough to pull them away from a hopeless fight. Several of the smarter kaptins, including Gorgit, warped away to get revenge on what ever ruined the ever paradise of killing that was the dredfleet. The system they had warped into was mostly empty except for a hidden stash of loot and scrap there for just such an occasion. Repairs began on the chewed up hunk that could barely be called a ship, however there was also enough left over to make some upgrades... Da Deff Stah (Name pending, make one up!)

"Ur beamy ships naw trust worfy! A grot wiff a blastah more reliable den ya beamy zip ships, just explode fer no reason! " The nob leaned over the table and bared his teeth, beady red eyes visible in the shadow of his stolen Commisars kap, the fancy pointed head gear had more than a few bullet holes but it was still recognizable as being Imperial in origin.
"OI, no yellin ear, im yellin if anyones yell, i wiell ear alls ideas und den i dicede wats bestet for us. Und for da sleep places, i only wants goods strongs orks, no yoofs on ma ship. Im da big boss heare." Gorgits yelled slamming his fist into the table. "Und i wants dat hat dere" pointing at grogins hat.
