Orks are savage barbarians engineered as part of a super soldier program by the Celestial Architects to fight the Necrons at the start of the C'tan Wars. They are large, muscular, violent, bloodthirsty, and obsessed with killing. They won't stop killing everyone, even their own race to satisfy their lust for violence. Orks normally fight eachother, but they can gather into crusades, called WAAGHs, where Orks unite under a warboss to declare was on a planet, race, or tribe. Formerly, they could overpopulate an entire planet in fifty years, but genetic design has limited their reproduction, weakening their numbers.

History
Creation and the Great WAAGH
It is rumored that the Orks came from the same plane as the Necrons. Orkish lore states of the "lost dimension," where the Orks swarmed the galaxy, outnumbering the myriad of armies in their path. Then, the great Ork Warboss Graal Bloodspiller came through "Da Big Portal," sending in a massive WAAGH on this universe.
The first to fight this threat was the Kirken Empire, emerging at the time as a universal threat. The Kirken lost many holdings to Bloodspiller, and soon the Ork encroached on Chozo, Vhozon and Celestial Architect territory. Already fighting the C'tan wars, the Architects were caught between a war with the Orks and a war with the Necrons, with the Orks smashing through the Architect's outer planets and reaching their inner planets. So the Architects settled on a gambit
Sending in a strange breed of sentient robotic beings, the Ironclad, the Architects were able to hold back the Ork tide. Then, they drew Bloodspiller out in the open for a final battle, using one of the Turn A Gundams as a "challenge." Bloodspiller was ambushed, and slaughtered.
The Celestial Control
With the Ork warboss defeated, the Bloodspiller's WAAGH was scattered, falling into clan fighting and disorganization. Meanwhile, the Celestial Architects were beginning to lose the war against the Necrons. They sought to create weapons, any weapons that could turn the tide in their favor.
Then they studied the Orks. They found that there actually was premade DNA manipulation in their structure from eons ago, before their universe even existed. This structure was designed for the sole purpose of killing the Necrons. However, the master Architects saw flaws in this structure, and perfected it. They limited their reproductive system, and lessened their aggression.
They sent the DNA change into the Ork ecosystem, and within ten years, Ork reproduction went negative. Worlds under their control began to sway away. The Architects saw their mistake when the Orks would no longer form WAAGHs to fight the Necrons, being slaughtered by their to-be prey when they threw nothing but petty tribes against the Necron tide.
The Architects had to create a WAAGH against the Necrons. They risked giving the Orks a new leader. After engineering the old Ork genome, they made the ultimate Ork from a captured Ork warrior. His name came to be known as High Warlord Blackclaw Deathkiller.
