THE STORY
For Bodgit, a humble grot aboard the infamous ork ship Da Jolly Smasha, the already perilous Freebooter life is about to take a deadly turn. Ordered to explore a recently emerged space hulk, Bodgit knows the odds of survival are slim – grots like him rarely return unscathed. But the horrors lurking within the ominous ship’s dark, twisted corridors are just the beginning of his problems. Kaptin Bludhook, a fearsome tyrant with a vendetta, is determined to make the grot’s existence unbearable. However, within Bodgit dwells the defiant spirit of Da Red Gobbo.

Will Bodgit harness this newfound power to conquer the deadly depths of the space hulk and outwit Bludhook and his ruthless Flash Gitz? Or will he be tossed out of the airlock, lost forever in the void? One thing’s for sure: this will be Da Red Gobbo’s last stand…
