🔍 Enemy Assessment: Ork Space Forces

Asset Threat Level Notes

Ork Roks High (up close) Massive armor, poor accuracy, brutal melee ramming, unpredictable movement

Ork Looted Ships Medium-High Crude weapons but dangerous volume of fire and numbers

Ork Fighters Medium Swarm tactics, boarding pods, heavy losses expected in PD zones

Ork Mek-Command Variable May possess unholy contraptions: force field shields, stolen nova tech, etc.

🛡️ Your Fleet's Advantages

Asset Advantage

Gloriana-Class Cruisers (x8) Each one has the firepower to solo an Ork Rok — and win

Emperor's Grasp (Voidhammer) Can break entire Ork formations or disable the biggest Roks with a single nova/lance salvo

Destroyer Wing (x10) Excellent for hit-and-fade strikes, eliminating Ork escorts and missile barges

Mechanicus Support (Litany of Precision) Scans and disables Ork tech, potentially even hijacks looted ships or disables power cores

Astartes Deployment Capacity Your fleet can land hundreds of Marines, supported by Stormtalons, Thunderhawks, and Drop Pods — ideal for taking back Graia's surface zones and plasma reactors

Point Defense & Flak Ork boarding pods and fighter swarms will be annihilated before they reach hull range

💥 Tactical Prediction: How the Iron Wrath Fleet Performs

Phase Outcome

Initial Engagement (Void Combat) Dominant Victory: Glorianas and Voidhammer break Ork lines in first hour of battle

Rok Purge Heavy Firepower: Nova cannons + lances burn down Roks one-by-one, destroyer wings sweep survivors

Enemy Boarding Attempts Minimal Success: 4,000+ flak turrets and teleportarium defenses counter boarding waves

Surface Siege Controlled Landing: Thunderhawks deliver kill-teams, Marines disable key Ork war machines

Ork Resistance Moderate Losses Expected: Orks fight hard on the ground, but without orbital support, they're cornered

Reclamation of Graia Probable Victory: By Day 7, major manufactorum sectors reclaimed; Mechanicus restored to function

Fleet Losses: Minor to Moderate (destroyers & frigates may take hits)

Marine Casualties: Within acceptable limits (<10%)

Time to Complete Campaign: 7–10 days (barring unforeseen warp/Necron/Chaos complications)
