Whilst they were brilliant Tacticians and Loyal, two very un-orky characteristics, they were not equals to Ferotous. Whilst the Ork stronghold and fortifications where being controlled and held, they could not stop a Big Mek gathering a force.
He had started to gather en-mass and were not prepared to wait for instructions by the Warboss. He promised any orks who followed him plenty of looting and fighting.
There was an Orbital Relay, completely filled with tesla coil and other high technology 'gubbins' and 'whatnots' which had the Big Mek obsessed. To this end he decided to lead a highly mechanical force to battle. The Orks gathered a force of high armoured deff dreads and Gun Wagons.
The Relay had a garrison to defend it. The Ultramarines clearly wanted to hold onto the Relay as whilst it was operational, it allowed the nearby forces to communicate clearly and efficiently. It meant the smaller numbers of Marines, could quickly call reinforcements and use their resources to maximum effect.
The Ork big Meks wanted the relay to build something orky, whilst the Relay was a key defensive tool for the Ultramarines.
The appeal was too much for the orks and the Blood Axe bosses could not restrain the attack.
The Ultramarine scouts observed the force and managed to report this back to the Relay. In turn they managed to get the message to the Ultramarine HQ.
Calgar, who appeared to be everywhere, answered the call for aid personally.
