Krourk is an Imperial planet of steppe lands and high gravity, inhabited by an abnormally brutal and primitive population of Ogryns.[1] The planet is comprised of seemingly endless, arid plains with enormous sabretoothed fauna, more dangerous than any renegade insurrectionists.[3]
The Ogryns act as a source of particularly brutal and savage forces for the Imperial Guard. Outside of this, the planet is considered worthless, and the Imperium leaves the Ogryn population to its own devices.[1]
When required, Imperial troop ships land on the planet to capture several tribes, which are formed into the Krourk Ogryn Auxilia. Squads of the Auxilia are distributed among existing human regiments to fight on distant battlefields.[1]
