The Battle for Hephaesto was the conflict of Waaagh!-strength Ork Freebooterz, lead by Kaptin Badrukk, invading Forge World Hephaesto for plunder, and later "reinforced" by the Tekwaaagh! with the same goal. Quickly agreeing to a tenuous peace, both forces of Orks assault the remaining standing city, Node Primus. Unknown to both sides, months prior Chaos elements seduced a Magos with promises of exotic technology and had nearly finished work when the orks had invaded.
