Orriah Ossetti is an Imperium Death World that was invaded by what was thought to be a small Ork warband; a single Catachan Jungle Fighters platoon was sent to destroy the Xenos.[1]
However, the Orks were actually a hardened cadre of Blood Axe warriors, and they launched an ambush on the platoon that left only a single new recruit alive. According to a famous story told by the Catachans, this recruit was named Harker, and he fought on despite being heavily outnumbered. Eventually his lasgun's energy cells were fried from overuse, and Harker claimed a heavy bolter from the remains of a Heavy Weapons Team. The Catachan was able to lift the massive weapon on his own and proceeded to kill every single one of the Blood Axe warriors and avenged his comrades' deaths. Harker later named the heavy bolter Payback and it has since aided the Catachan in massacring his enemies throughout the galaxy.[1]
