The Orcs came from a barren and harsh world where their survival was a constant struggle. These Orcs became used to lives of hardship, fighting the elements and each other. For these Orcs, honour, strength and their clans were the most important parts of their lives. Clans would work together to share their meagre resources, fighting everyone else. Larger groups rarely lasted, instead Orcs put their faith in personal trust and bonds. Without a worthy leader, larger groups would dissolve back into clans and return to fighting each other.

	Despite their lack of unity ~~and industry~~, the Orcs ~~did~~ eventually ~~reach the stars~~, where they found worlds ~~on which~~ they could ~~truly~~ thrive. ~~Without~~ the ~~natural dangers of their home world,~~ the ~~Orcs’ population boomed~~, ~~and~~ they ~~spread rapidly through nearby systems~~. ~~Soon~~, the Orcs ~~began encroaching on other factions’ territories~~.		Despite their lack of unity, the Orcs would eventually make it to space, where they found worlds where they could thrive. Clans moved quickly to spread out and claim their territories. By the time the [[High Elf Fleets\|Elves]] met the Orcs, they had already settled a large portion of Sirius. Orc clans' conflicts and raids would often spill into Elf territory, and so the Elves began to strike deals with certain clans to encourage the Orcs to fight among themselves.

	~~The DAOU in particular recognized that~~ the ~~rapidly spreading alien species were having a destabilizing effect~~ in the ~~region, as individual~~ Orc ~~tribes began~~ to ~~appear as raiders~~ and ~~mercenaries throughout the Sirius Sector, settling wherever they could~~. ~~The DAOU sought to avoid becoming embroiled in a bloody conflict, offering medicine~~ and ~~technology~~ to ~~the Orcs in the hopes of stabilizing their turbulent society~~.		This changed when the Elves offered their border worlds to the [[Dwarf Guilds\|Dwarves]]. Tensions rose quickly as the Orcs’ new neighbours responded to raids by conquering entire systems in retaliation. As Dwarves began expanding more aggressively, the Orc Clans were forced to set aside their differences and unite. These combined Orc forces proved more powerful than anyone had anticipated and the Dwarves were forced to retreat.

	~~These exchanges only caused~~ the ~~Orc population to further explode~~, ~~and numerous clans rapidly collapsed, unable to sustain their own rapidly increasing population~~. ~~Many feared that~~ the ~~Orcs were well on their way to becoming~~ the ~~dominant species in~~ the ~~Sirius Sector~~, ~~or even that their massive population would deplete~~ the ~~sector’s resources entirely before spreading out to the wider galaxy~~. ~~In response~~, the ~~DAOU decided to release~~ a ~~virus~~ to ~~decrease~~ Orc ~~fertility~~ to ~~a more stable rate, which rapidly spread throughout~~ their ~~population, with had a devastating side-effect~~.		United for the first time in their history, the Orcs felt a renewed sense of pride as they drove into Dwarven territory. On the edge of defeat, the Dwarves used an invention which scourged the sector, in an event known as the Radiance Cascade. It destroyed numerous worlds and both Orc and Dwarven fleets. With their leadership and most of their leaders lost in an instant, the Orcs were suddenly scattered into a number of Clans. Many of their former worlds were settled by human arrivals, brought to Sirius by the Dwarven invention. The Orc clans were forced to retreat into the edge of their former territory.

	~~After reducing Orc fertility to~~ the ~~desired rate, the virus continued to slowly lower each new generation's fertility further~~, ~~dooming~~ the Orcs ~~to slow extinction~~. Scattered and fractured, many Orc clans are unable or unwilling to change their ways, instead clinging stubbornly to their traditions, even as their warlike ways push them ever closer to extinction. Others believe they are a people without a future, whilst some hope to ~~take revenge on~~ the ~~DAOU, and perhaps force them~~ to discover ~~a cure~~.		Though decimated and scattered by the Cascade, the Orcs remain proud. Some hope to reunite the Clans through conquest while others still hope to discover those lost in the Cascade.

	How will ~~your clan face extinction~~?		How will you reunite the scattered clans?

	Originating from a harsh and barren world, the lives of Orcs were a constant struggle. Orcs were born into large families, where few survived into adulthood.

Families came together to form clans, which would work together to share their meager resources and fight anyone else that they encountered.

	~~Whilst there are many sub-~~species ~~of Orc Marauders found~~ in the galaxy the ~~most prevalent are~~ the ~~green-skinned orcs and~~ the ~~tiny goblins.
