Chapter Summaries

Lynn began expanding the Hokage Clan’s influence by winning Sith’s acceptance and then approaching the weakened Blood Axe Clan with an offer of protection in exchange for submission. The chapter ended as Lynn presented Sanyan with two choices: join the Hokage Clan or be wiped out.

• Toothy warned Sith that Chandler could draw Carl II’s Orks away from Ragnar by leading a greater waaagh, then offered the Hokage Clan’s loyalty and resources to help Sith monitor Chandler.
• Sith recognized Toothy’s shared outsider status and accepted the Hokage Clan’s allegiance.
• Two days later, Lynn and Toothy led a supply convoy to the Blood Axe Clan’s survivors in Carl II’s radioactive scrap wastes.
• Lynn offered Sanyan, the Blood Axe Clan’s new boss, the choice of submitting to Sith and receiving aid, territory, revenge, and 5% of Waaagh GP’s monthly dividends, or being killed.

Lynn secured the Blood Axe Clan for Sith, then helped Sith coordinate the defense of Carl II against the Imperial fleets led by Lynn and Luna. The battle began with the Ork forces pinning down the enemy while Hokage and Blood Axe ships maneuvered for attacks on the flanks.

• Lynn offered the Blood Axe Clan territory, strength, revenge, and a share of Waaagh GP's profits, and the clan pledged itself to Boss Sith.
• Carter sent a reinforcement fleet of twenty frigates to Carl II, while Luna launched a surprise attack alongside Lynn's operation.
• Toothy presented Lynn's battle plan, and Sith forced the major clan Nobs to follow his orders.
• Sith used his psychic powers and updates from Lynn to track the Imperial Fleet and direct the Ork forces.
• The Ork fleets pinned down the Imperial Fleet as Hokage assault boats attacked the rear and others joined the Blood Axe fleet to circle toward a weaker flank.

Lynn used a surprise attack to break the Imperium supply fleet’s offensive, then expanded Sith’s camp by defeating and subduing the Evil Sunz Clan. Sith’s forces became a major power on Carl II, while the other clans accepted their growth in the absence of Chandler.

• The Blood Axe Clan and Hokage assault boats attacked the Imperium supply convoy, crippling its logistics and communications and forcing Lynn and Luna’s fleets to withdraw.
• The Orks of Carl II began to regard Sith as a dependable Warboss, and Lynn moved to recruit the Evil Sunz Clan.
• Toothy provoked the Evil Sunz into a Waaagh GP race, where Sasuke beat Gak by three minutes and crushed their pride in their speed.
• Lynn’s combined forces launched a night attack on the Evil Sunz camp, disabled its defenses, destroyed its vehicles, and killed its leading nobs.
• The surviving Evil Sunz submitted to Sith, becoming the third major clan in his camp alongside the Hokage and Blood Axe Clans.
• With Chandler still missing, the other Carl II clans swallowed their resentment and accepted Sith’s growing power.

Lynn spent his brief time aboard the Obsidian Pinnacle playing chess with Rena before returning his consciousness to Seven-Smasha on Carl II. Sith’s faction had gained control of nearly a third of the planet, but Lynn judged that he still needed more power to challenge the Deathskulls Clan.

• Lynn deliberately let Rena win at chess, but she realized he had gone easy on her and became upset.
• Rena offered to unleash the entire swarm on Carl II, but Lynn refused because the resulting war would be prolonged and expose his connection to the Tyranids.
• Lynn reassured Rena and returned his consciousness to Seven-Smasha on Carl II.
• Seven-Smasha saw that Sith’s influence covered nearly a third of Carl II and that the Hokage, Blood Axes, and Evil Sunz clans were aligned with him.
• Lynn concluded that Sith’s growing forces still were not enough to stand against the Deathskulls Clan.

Lynn sent Jiaolong-class Bio-ships to harass Carl II and farm reputation for Sith, while Luna chose not to confront them. As Tyranid attacks wore down the Orks, Toothy presented Sith’s faction with a plan to clear the invaders and stop further landings.

• Lynn told Rena to use small-scale Tyranid raids on Carl II, and Rena deployed three Jiaolong-class Bio-ships.
• Luna recognized Lynn’s ploy but ordered her fleet to watch the Tyranid ships without attacking them.
• The Bio-ships launched spore sacs onto Carl II, where Tyranids hid and ambushed Ork patrols, watchmen, and Squigs.
• Rena used stealthy Chameleons as command nodes to coordinate the scattered Tyranids and evade Ork searches.
• Toothy presented Sith and the Big 'Uns with a plan for the Blood Axe Clan, Evil Sunz Clan, and Hokage Clan to clear Tyranids and intercept incoming spores.

Sith’s clans cleared the Tyranids from Carl II and drove off their bio-ships, strengthening his standing among the Orks. Lynn then began building a Hokage Clan carrier, but found that the Goffs and Snakebites remained loyal to Chandler and had allied with the Deathskulls.

• Sith approved Toothy’s plan, and the Blood Axes, Evil Sunz, and Hokage clans cleared most of the Tyranids from Carl II.
• A Hokage Clan patrol discovered a hidden Tyranid bio-ship, and Sith led the Evil Sunz and Blood Axes fleets to pursue and drive off the three bio-ships.
• The Orks hailed Sith as a hero, and he felt the Waaagh Field grow stronger as the Boyz celebrated him.
• Lynn hired Mekboys from several clans to build the Hokage Clan’s first capital ship, an enormous carrier designed for assault boats.
• Lynn learned that the Goffs and Snakebites refused to follow Sith because Chandler had equipped them with powerful armour and improved Squigs, and that they had joined the Deathskulls in an alliance.

Sith's rising popularity and psychic strength awakened his ambition to rule Carl II independently. After half a month without conflict, his craving for the power gained from the Waaagh Field pushed him toward starting another war.

• Lynn abandoned plans to conquer a clan after Sith warned that fighting would plunge Carl II into civil war, while the Bad Moons Clan continued trading with both sides.
• Sith's victories made him widely admired by the Orks, and the growing Waaagh Field nearly doubled his psychic strength.
• Sith began to wonder why he should remain Ragnar's blade instead of becoming the capable ruler of Carl II, while Lynn sensed his ambition taking root.
• For three days, Sith's uncontrolled psychic pressure disturbed the station as he paced restlessly through the hall.
• Sith grew frustrated with the Imperial Fleets' inaction and the vanished Tyranids, craving a new war to inflame the Boyz and strengthen him further.

Sith, frustrated by the lack of viable targets, summoned Toothy and seized on his complaints about the Bad Moons Clan as a possible target. Toothy urged him to establish a just cause for war and began laying out Lynn’s plan, leaving Sith receptive to a scheme against the clan.

• Sith, unable to attack the other factions without risking defeat or civil war, summoned Toothy of the Hokage Clan.
• Lynn warned Toothy that their plan could betray the Dorito Orks Alliance, and Toothy pledged to stand by him.
• Lynn instructed Toothy to steer Sith toward the Bad Moons Clan and explained what to say.
• Toothy told Sith that the Bad Moons Clan was withholding supplies and secretly favoring Chandler’s side.
• Sith declared that he wanted to uproot the Bad Moons Clan, but Toothy cautioned him to find a just cause for war.
• Toothy argued that the Bad Moons Clan owed tribute to Sith and began explaining Lynn’s plan, while Sith listened and nodded.

Toothy manipulated the Bad Moons Clan into attacking Sith by spreading rumors and demanding ever more tribute. Sith killed the clan’s leaders and ordered a full-scale purge, as the three great clans launched their fleets against the Bad Moons camp.

• Toothy spread rumors that the Bad Moons Clan had insulted Sith, prompting its bosses to secretly deliver tribute twice.
• When the rumors intensified, the Bad Moons bosses confronted Toothy, who demanded triple the tribute they paid Chandler.
• The leading boss attacked Toothy, and Sith appeared, crushing the guards with Psychic Power and melting the bosses with Gaze of Mork.
• Sith ordered Toothy to announce that the Bad Moons Clan had plotted to assassinate him and betrayed Boss Ragnar, then commanded a full-scale purge.
• The Hokage, Evil Sunz, and Blood Axes fleets moved to attack the Bad Moons camp and block its escape routes.

The war against the Bad Moons Clan dragged on for seven days, and Sith grew stronger as the battle and the Elf Gawk rally intensified the Waaagh Field. Just as he planned to conquer the Bad Moons and then challenge Chandler, Chandler emerged from seclusion after sensing his power rapidly shrinking.

• The three clans’ forces battered the Bad Moons Clan’s defenses, while fires destroyed nearly a fifth of Carl II’s middle defensive ring.
• Sith felt regret over the damage to Carl II’s defenses, but the rising Waaagh Field overwhelmed him with power and ambition.
• The second Elf Gork Rally opened on the sixth day, and Sasuke competed for the Hokage Clan while the crowd strengthened the Waaagh Field.
• Sith sensed Chandler’s icy Waaagh Field and mechanical roar, then imagined defeating the Bad Moons Clan and challenging Chandler.
• Chandler emerged early from the Deathskulls Clan’s workshop, outfitted with new weapons and psychic suppressors, because he felt his power rapidly shrinking.

Chandler emerged from seclusion and learned that Sith had seized power across Carl II, prompting Lynn and Luna to launch their fleets toward the station. As human forces attacked from two fronts, Chandler and Sith’s supporters faced off in the meeting hall, leaving civil war about to erupt.

• Chandler learned that Sith had expanded his influence, taken the Waaagh Field, and attacked the Bad Moons Clan, then ordered the Deathskulls to march on the core district.
• Lynn sent the Imperial expeditionary fleet to attack Carl II’s outer defenses, while Luna ordered her own fleet to assault the station.
• Chandler confronted Sith in the meeting hall, and Sith admitted that he had built up his forces and would not return to his former role.
• A messenger reported that human fleets were attacking on two fronts, and Chandler began ordering the clans to defend the outer perimeter.
• Lynn and the Blood Axes and Evil Sunz showed that they now followed Sith, while the Goffs and Snakebites sided with Chandler, and both camps raised their weapons against each other.

Sith committed himself to challenging Chandler as the Hokage Clan launched a surprise assault, igniting civil war across Carl II. Chandler fled toward his laboratory while Sith pursued him, and their fight remained unresolved.

• Sith abandoned his hesitation and attacked Chandler with psychic lightning, breaking Chandler's anti-psychic shield.
• The Hokage Clan's Terror Spaceship bombed the Deathskulls Clan's starport while Evil Sunz and Blood Axe forces attacked the Goffs and Snakebites encampments.
• Lynn watched the civil war erupt across Carl II and recognized that his plan had reached its crucial stage.
• Sith and Chandler exchanged powerful psychic and plasma attacks, while Chandler mistakenly suspected Ragnar had ordered Sith to kill him.
• Chandler used a psychic explosion to escape into his laboratory, and Sith pursued him with a Lightning Whirlwind Slash.

Sith attacked Chandler's laboratory, but Chandler emerged in an unfinished Gargant Mech and overwhelmed him with its weapons. Sith's psychic powers damaged the mech's Waaagh Field, and Chandler realized he had to finish the fight quickly before Sith found its weakness.

• Sith used his Psychic Power to sweep a metal tornado through the laboratory, but a steel pincer caught and crushed the iron ball he threw afterward.
• Chandler revealed a thirty-meter Gargant Mech, and Lynn recognized it as the Deathskulls Clan's ultimate ground-based killing machine.
• The Gargant Mech's flail shattered Sith's psychic shields and hurled him into a steel pillar.
• Chandler fired the mech's weapons across the core district, while Sith teleported through the barrage and protected himself with psychic shields.
• Sith sacrificed five Psychic Power Boys to launch a green psychic fireball at the mech, but the Waaagh Field shielded it from damage.
• Chandler sensed that Sith had taken nearly half of Carl II's Waaagh Field and realized the unfinished mech was weaker than expected.

Luna led an Imperial assault into Carl II, mistaking the Orks’ civil war for a chance to seize the station. When the Imperial forces attacked Chandler’s Gargant Mech, the feuding Orks united against them, while Lynn watched the battle unfold.

• With Carl II’s defenses weakened and its Orks distracted by civil war, Luna ordered the Imperial fleet to attack and sent landing forces toward the core.
• Luna realized Sith and Chandler were fighting each other and saw an opportunity to capture the station and advance her standing on Brevis.
• Imperial Knights, Skitarii, and other forces landed and pushed through the station with little resistance as Orks fought among themselves.
• Luna recognized Chandler’s Gargant Mech from its earlier attack on her fleet and ordered the Imperial forces to concentrate fire on it.
• Sith and Chandler broke off their fight, and Orks from the rival clans united to attack the Imperial forces.
• Lynn watched the three sides prepare to fight while his fleet continued clearing the remaining Ork ships around Carl II.

Chandler turned the Gargant into a spinning, all-weapons-firing whirlwind that tore through Luna’s defensive line, while Sith and Luna continued their duel. Lynn noticed that Chaos energy around Luna’s shield had nullified Sith’s psychic attack.

• The five Imperial Knights used coordinated attacks to keep Chandler’s Gargant off balance, but Chandler overloaded its reactor and made it spin while firing every weapon.
• The cheering Ork Boyz strengthened the Waaagh Field, enlarging the Gargant’s deadly firestorm and forcing a breach in Luna’s line as her left flank collapsed.
• Luna fired missiles and a Melta Cannon at Sith, who teleported away and struck back with psychic lightning.
• Luna’s ion shield absorbed Sith’s psychic attack, and Lynn recognized Chaos energy around it and wondered about the STC.

Lynn’s covert actions turned the Orks against one another, but Luna discovered his role and tried to kill him while Sith kept her occupied. As Luna’s forces closed in on Lynn, a hidden five-meter-tall beast emerged at his side, ready to fight.

• Lynn ordered the Hokage Ninja Boyz and Blood Axes agents to stage attacks that sparked infighting among the Ork clans.
• Luna recognized Lynn directing the chaos and charged toward him, but Sith blocked her and attacked her in earnest.
• Luna ordered Sicarian Infiltrators and Skitarii units to target Lynn, and the Sicarians overwhelmed his ninja guards.
• A Sicarian Infiltrator lunged at Lynn but was suddenly cut in half by an unseen attacker.
• A five-meter-tall beast emerged behind Lynn, and he stroked it and told it to begin.

Lynn used two skill points to transform Rena into the Tyranids Chosen, Rena Dahan, whose power grew with the vast Tyranid swarm and whose targeted evolutions made her a formidable Norn Emissary variant. Her arrival terrified Luna, while nearby Orks recognized and worshipped her.

• Rena Dahan appeared on the battlefield and halted nearby Skitarii and Ork fighters with her overwhelming presence.
• Lynn advanced the Individual Path to level five, unlocking Crown of the Swarm and three targeted evolutions.
• Crown of the Swarm amplified Rena’s attributes in proportion to the Tyranid swarm, which had grown beyond ten thousand hive swarms.
• Lynn used the targeted evolutions to give Rena a Norn Emissary template, enhancing her armor, regeneration, psychic abilities, and combat skills.
• Luna sensed Rena’s devouring will and felt threatened, while nearby Orks lowered their weapons and prayed to Lady Dahan.

Lynn’s preparations turned Rena Dahan into an Ork religious figure, while Sasuke’s race victory rallied the Boyz to defend their territory. Luna’s forces escaped the battle under cover of chemical smoke, only to find Sasuke and tens of millions of Orks blocking their route out.

• Lynn had spent a month persuading the Orks that Rena Dahan was Gork and Mork’s emissary, using staged miracles and the racing successes of Naruto and Sasuke to strengthen their belief.
• Sasuke won the second Elf Gawk and told the spectators that Luna’s fleet had invaded the core area, prompting the Orks to rush back to defend it.
• Luna ordered her forces to retreat through a wall of smoke laced with chemicals that made the Orks sneeze and lose their sight.
• Lynn stopped Sith from pursuing Luna and said someone else would prevent her escape.
• Luna’s troops reached the exit and found Sasuke, the racers, and tens of millions of Orks waiting to charge them.

Luna’s forces were overwhelmed by Sasuke’s Orks, and Rena Dahan stopped Luna from escaping through the Warp, leaving her trapped in battle. A separate side story recounts Big Gut Ragnar’s rise from a mocked outcast to an Ork warlord who conquered Dorito with menzi.

• Luna led her troops in a desperate attack, but the Orks charged through their lines and Sasuke rampaged among them on Chidori.
• Luna realized Lynn had lured her into the core district and pushed her Knight to its limit to open a Warp portal.
• Rena Dahan struck Luna’s Knight with a Neural Lance, disrupting her spell and preventing her escape; Sith sensed that the attack’s power was unlike Ork or human psychic energy.
• On Dorito, Ragnar used his enormous body as a living battering ram, earning the respect of his fellow Orks and becoming their leader.
• Ragnar discovered menzi, whose Waaagh-empowered effects helped him unite the Ork warlords and defeat the humans, eventually conquering Dorito.

Sith began to suspect that Seven-Smasha and the Hokage Clan had manipulated him into a civil war, while Lynn and Rena discussed his investigation. Luna then launched a desperate attack on Lynn and unleashed a hidden weapon that condensed the damage her mech had endured into a deadly orb.

• Sith reviewed the conflicts that had elevated the Hokage Clan and realized Seven-Smasha might have guided him into a war against Chandler.
• Sith secretly probed Lynn and Rena with psychic power, but Rena told Lynn that Sith had not detected her and that her power surpassed his.
• Luna erupted in rage at Lynn and charged him in her mech despite Sith's psychic lightning and the Orks' gunfire.
• As the mech's shield neared collapse, Luna activated a concealed control that made it spin and gather the attacks it had absorbed into a small orb of chaotic energy.
• Lynn sensed danger as the orb formed and began drifting toward him.
