Vraks Prime is an "armoury world" of the Imperium, used as a vast storage facility for supplies and equipment. Vraks is the location of Imperial Armour Volume Five: The Siege of Vraks book. Vraks system consists of four planets (Prime, Secundus, Tertius, Uryx). Its only inhabited world is Vraks Prime.
Vraks' society is organised with the same hierarchy as the Administratum on Terra - a relatively large part of the population consists of adepts who run its vast bureaucracy. A major part of Vraks' population form another vital function as indentured labourers. Among the labour force is a large number of Ogryns.
Once an impregnable fortress, surrounded by miles of defence lines, the citadel of Vraks has fallen into the hands of the renegade forces of Cardinal Xaphan, along with Vraks' stockpiles of war supplies.
From his stronghold the Apostate Cardinal plans to launch a holy war across the Scarus Sector. The Imperium must stop him and destroy his army. A new army has been raised, and a massive siege has been launched against Vraks' defences, with the Imperium planning on conducting a brutal war of attrition with which to wear down the enemy. The Krieg siege regiments have twelve years to recapture Vraks and destroy the Apostate Cardinal's army.
