THE AGE OF WAR
This golden age however was to come to an end. The Ork Brain Boys for an unknown reason ceased communications, which worried the engineers for there were many unfinished projects which they had together been working on. Almost immediately thereafter, a huge Ork battle-fleet under the command of Grunhag the Flayer descended upon the Homeworlds, catching many Strongholds by surprise. Many systems were quickly taken in the initial assault, however they rose to the challenge with the tenacity of a people defending their homes. Weapons of war hastily converted from mining and transport devices took to the field, and new weapons research was fast-tracked to aid them against the Orks. Technologies that they had helped develop, such as MagnaKannons and BubbleChukkas were met by mining equipment converted for battle with devastating effects. Although fewer in number than their foes they made their numbers count, and Graviton guns crushed Ork vehicles from within as particle weapons mowed down the Orks around them.
As the casualties on both sides mounted insanely an appeal to the Eldar was sent for aid, but as they themselves had done in the past the Eldar remained neutral, preferring to let the conflict settle itself. Cursing the Eldar for all eternity, they continued what was slowly becoming a losing battle. Just as spirits flagged and they contemplated defeat, there rose a great leader among the people. Daeson Warigul was his name, and he gave great oratories to the people, admonishing them for even considering giving up their homes and inspiring them to work doubly hard and fight even harder. They began to push the Orks back, and losing momentum, Grunhag looked to settle the conflict as quickly as he could. He led the bulk of what remained of his fleet on a direct attack on the stronghold of Silverstone, Daeson's home planet, in an attempt to draw out his heart of the opposition and crush it in one fell swoop.
