The Eastern Nihilus Trading Company, formally known, is a band of Orks that, if Human, would be considered a “Rogue Trader '' group. This band of Orks belong to a subculture known as “Blood Axes,” those who prefer strategy and cunning. They often present themselves to Imperial authorities offering aid, most commonly in the form of trade and shipping through the Imperium Nihilus to other planets. The Nihilus Company is always willing to take jobs, in that sense they are perfectly legitimate, but for all the ways Blood Axes differ from normal orks, trickery remains pertinent to the operations of the ENTC. The Company's real game is opportunities, any opportunity to test the limits of humies, and find any chance to cheat and krump isolated or desperate systems.

Kulture

Diplomashee

Diplomashee is the practice of negotiating and bartering with humans, similar to the human concept of "Diplomacy" but with the added clause of poking and prodding, constantly testing the limits of the humans tolerance. It is also the the practice of maintaining a parasitic relation to human systems through said negotiation, learning the enemy, and even taking some of their gubbins, before exploiting their weaknesses to krump em even arder.'

Treatment of Grots and Humans

The standard dichotomy of Ork-Grot relations is one of mutual hatred but content, the Ork hates the Grot for its weakness, the Grot hates the Ork for hating it, enslaving it, eating it, but both are contempt with each other because they know this is the way the gods intended things to be. The company differs only in that Grognob recognizes Grot-battlefeild potential. So whereas in other clans, Grots could only build their own kanz and tanks when there is a significant excess of gubbins, Grot tanks and Killa Kanz are purpose built by the mekz by order of Grognob.

It is also important to recognize that the keepers of the ENTC's history and battles are Grots. Usually this is standard practice among clanz due to grots knack for keeping what can be described as "Journals of Hate" towards Orks. The ENTC's grots prefer to use old imperial primers as their tomes of hate, instead of scrawled in hidey holes, and the chassis' of their mekz vehicles.

The ENTC has adapted Human practices when it comes to the treatment of Human Prisoners, using "enhanced Ork-terragation" techniques before disposing of Military leaders. Other captured humans are turned into servitor-like machines before being used for manual labor on the fleet of the ENTC. The ships of the ENTC are also mostly incapable of growing nutritional squigs, growing only enough to sustain a fraction of the Ork population. So the Orks of the ENTC have turned to Grot-Starch, a variation on the popular human ration "corpse-starch", don't let the name fool you its more than grots in it, humans, human live-stock, squigs, really anything that isn't an Ork.

History

The ENTC was founded in early M42 in the Space Hulk "(Insert Name Here)." The Grots of the ENTC believe that they are the remnants of a great battle between yellow beakies and Orks, wherein the Ork force was wiped out, leaving only the fungal spores released by the remains of fallen Boyz. Soon the thousands of sprouting Orks began squabbling among themselves and forming tribes to fight over the limited resources the Hulk had to offer. The Hulk took its toll on the populace however, the intrigue of the Human ships, full of documents and weapons from its time as a capable group of Imperial ships, drew the majority of sprouted Boyz to believe themselves to be Blood Axes. Using their numerical and tactical superiority, the Blood Axes swiftly sweeped the rest of the Hulk destroying those prominant in the other clans, and their boyz rushed to join the Victorious clan.
