The biographies of da Orks

Da Skull Smashaz clan:

History:

Initially one of the many spore-descendants of a small ork invasion to Akahalam IV, which had been repelled by the PDF, this is the most successful of the feral orks . While the other tribes exclusively used primitive weapons and relied on warpaint, the Smashaz realised, that a different kind of weaponry was needed. So, they started stealing humie weaponry and then tried to replicate it, with mostly positive results.
(Well... their fort... camp... thing had to be rebuilt quite a few times.)

They soon became the dominant force among Akhalam's orkoid residents and started raids on human settlements, recruiting new boys from the local feral orks if needed. The name Skull Smashaz comes from this period.

Then their current warboss, Nagosh Ubzug, gained his post.
Thanks to his strategic genius (more precisely, lack of thereof), the clan had been almost completely wiped out multiple times, before the events knows as the 'Weird war' turned him, his clan and several other unlikely allies into galactic heroes. The clan currently lives in piece with the human populace of Akhalam IV.
Every year, they invite every human they can to the 'Squig and beer' festival. Some on Terra started considering the opening 'Squig pie' chains.

Their most notable members also got involved in the 'War of Sands' on the planet Carridia, where they yet again helped restore peace.

Combat doctrine:

While peaceful, the tribe still has many weapons ready, should an enemy dare to venture into their, or their allies' territory.
While most of the clan prefers close combat, the Smashaz widely use ranged weaponry and even vehicles.
Most of their battles start with their jetpack-equipped warriors, who disrupt enemy entrenchments, followed by a vehicular assault and they finish it all with an all-out infantry attack. Most enemies are so crippled by the first two assaults, that the third is simply too overwhelming.

Notable characters:

Nagosh Ubzug:

Current warboss of the clan and a mighty warrior, by ork standards.

His body is mostly 'non-cyberized', except for his metallic leg and the large cannon of a machine-gun which replaces his right arm. His other weapon of choice is a large chain choppa'. The rest of his body is covered by thick armour, the best the clan Mek could make. He also wears no horns, unlike most warbosses.

Possesses extreme physical strength, even for an ork. Some scholars think that a few spore-plants may have merged together, therefore giving more nutrients to his body, but no one can know for sure.
The fact is, even as a mere boy, he could defeat a nob with relative ease. Therefore, when he grew sufficiently, he automatically became warboss.
He then made a long-time friend of his, flashgit Gobroz, into his advisor... and the endless suicidal attacks began. Followed by the orks' triumph.

He likes grots and he spread this policy throughout the clan.

Flashgit Gobroz:

From his early days, Gobroz always knew he was different. War, fungus beer and squig pie were things not that interesting to him. He liked studying weaponry and war strategy, along with a bazillion other things. And he was never that physically strong.
So, most orks used to pick on him, beat him. Then came Nagosh. The two orks became friends and no one even dared harass Gobroz from that day.
Gobroz became a flashgit soon afterwards. He respects close combat as a tactical and strategic asset, but still thinks tearing an enemy to bits from afar is much more satisfying, not to mention safer. Nagosh has called him 'flashgit Gobroz' ever since.
He became a highly respected ork and now everyone views him as a smartboy and not a smart git.
And if anyone dares not to, he can always shoot them... wif lotsa' dakka!

Slugga boy Muskit:

Muskit is an ordinary slugga boy of the clan, but seems to have a strange amount of luck, just like Nagosh and Gobroz, having survived the suicidal attacks with them and all.
He is good at close combat, like all basic boys, but he also excels at travelling within woods and jungles, which could make him an effective kommando in the future.
He has a pet, the squig Ugu and is a friend to both Nagosh and Gobroz.

Ugu, the cute little black squig:

Found by Nagosh, Gobroz and Muskit at the beginning of the Weird war, this squig soon became the smallest hero of the whole bunch.
Ugu is a friendly little creature and has a strange trait: females think he is the cutest thing EVER. And no one can explain why.
Ugu is still an attack squig, however, so if ya make him mad... run. RUN. Those teeth are frikin' sharp.

Mek Darug:

The clan's mek and therefore a respected, feared and known ork. Darug creates most, if not all of the clan's weaponry and vehicles, since the rest of the bunch is too stupid to effectively use tools like his.
At least, that's what he says. In reality, he simply likes the welding and whatnot too much to let anyone fiddle with it. It is a hobby of sorts for him. He likes experimenting with stuff.
He is the one who made Nagosh's chain choppa'.
As a mek, he wields an advanced blasta' and a powah klaw. He uses those against enemies... or those who criticise his work.

Dok Grimog:

Insane as any other ork dok, Grimog didn't really choose the job. He was just thrown into an 'operatiun' one day and he excelled.
While great at replacing body parts (damaged and otherwise), he enjoys mixing all sorts of questionable battle brews much more.

Grot Drakk:

Probably the longest living grot in the galaxy, thanks to Nagosh's pro-grot policy.
He always seems to get into trouble, however.
