Typical strategy of the Orks...
There was no sophisticated approach of the Greenskins when it ca to waging naval warfare.
Not many even used Void Shields or any type of shielding when it ca to the defensive asures of their ships, as they depended more on crashing into the enemy ships, destroying them in one go.
This was an extrely crude tactic employed by the Orks, but at the sa ti, it was also unbelievably effective; thanks to the enormous size of their spaceships, they were able to destroy most of their opponents in one go.
Not to ntion, once they comnded the boarding operations, due to their sheer numbers, they were able to overrun all of their enemies rather easily. Within the known universe, there were only a few factions that could effectively defend themselves from the Greenskins without a hitch.
The rest needed to depend on various factors, such as luck or creating local alliances to defend themselves from the Orkish WAAAGHS that could happen in their territories.
Because Arcturus was right now, near the space of the Eternal Imperium of the Asurya, he was rather surprised to see here Orks because normally, they would be exterminated with extre prejudice by the Imperial Navy the mont they were registered within the vicinity of their borders.
Hearing the report of the Red Queen, Arcturus frowned a bit because this presented both opportunity and risk. If he ordered her to destroy the ship entirely, then practically nothing would happen, though the answers to the question of what they were doing here would also be lost.
If he decided to board the ship, he would need to cut his way through the several hundreds of the Greenskins.
"Can you target and destroy the parts of the ship with the highest concentration of the Greenskins while avoiding the bridge or command center of the ship?"
In the end, the information was too valuable for him to pass up, so he decided to board the ship, though, before that, he wanted to know if it was possible to cut down their numbers even further.
While he still had so battle droids, using the ABD-Spectre MK Battle Droids was out of the question because there was a very high possibility that they would be destroyed, though now that he considered their price and the number of Universal Credits he had, he decided to sacrifice them if needed.
He knew that the Spider Bastion Battle Droids would be safe even against the Orks, but the ABD-Spectre MK Battle Droids were a bit inferior because while they were still a very good model of the battle droid, Orkish skin could defend against a few rounds of lasgun.
Aside from that, Orks as a species had enormous tolerance for pain and punishnt, and they could fight even when so of their limbs and body parts were severed and destroyed, so one needed to either have superior marksmanship or kill them in one go.
Red Queen Alice reported the mont when she completed the orders of her master, Arctururs donned his armor and prepared his sword. Behind him, all battle droids were already prepared for the combat, as the four Spider Bastion Battle Droids stood behind him in all of their glory.
And behind the Super Bastion Battle Droids, there were ABD-Spectre MK Battle Droids ard with their lasguns and other equipnt; everything was ready for combat before Red Queen transported them to the remnants of the space hulk of the Orkish pirates.
Naturally, she sent the entire group to the place where there was zero to no concentration of the greenskins, where they could make their stand and expand to the other areas of the starship from there.

The space hulk was looking as bad from the inside as it was from the outside; in the end, it was sothing that belonged to the Greenskins. Aside from the enormous ss and destroyed things, that were all around the empty space, which probably served as so sort of hangar or whatever, was the most notable feature, the ever-present sll.
It was so disgusting that Arcturus almost puked when he was bead onto the space hulk of the greenskin pirates. The hygiene was absolutely the worst in the entire place; he already hoped to get away from this place as soon as possible.
'We can go further; what is the fastest way to center?'
He asked the Red Queen Alice through his Neural Extranet Terminal Gene Implants, to which the battle droids started marching in orderly formation and advancing together with him through the enormous corridors of the space hulks.
It didn't take long before he was graced with the sight of the Orks as they appeared from the end of the corridor and started madly advancing on Arcturus and battle droids.
Orks were massive, heavily muscled, bestial humanoids, green-skinned and red-blooded, a side effect of their symbiotic physiological and genetic relationship with fungi. The Orkoid physique itself is so robust that it can withstand trendous punishnt, this much he could see when they mostly shrugged off the first wave of the lasgun fire.
When the battle droids opened fire on the Orks, from their behavior, they felt little pain, because even the ones that were most grievously injured, could still continue fighting as they advanced forward.
This was rather fascinating because so of them were already horrifically injured and yet they could still continue fighting despite that.
A typical Ork stands around the sa height as an average Human male, though he would be much taller were he to stand up straight instead of being hunched over, as is his normal stance, and his fra is extrely muscular and solid.
An Ork's arms are long and heavily thewed, knuckles almost scraping the floor as he lopes around, and his gnarled hands end in taloned fingers capable of tearing an enemy's throat out with ease.
