[Being a study on the methods and culture of the Orkoid races]
Snakebitez
Snakebites are the most primitive of the Ork clans, relying more on the "old ways" than Technology. The Snakebotes Clan uses primitive weapons, such as bows and blunderbusses, and low-tech weapons such as Spearguns. Many of them ride into war on ferocious Warboars. The Snakebites do not have a large Kult of Speed, but as it is an unavoidable part of Orky nature, the clan does have a Kult of Speed. When the clan goes to war, there are always a few Bikes, Buggies, Traks, and Trukks alongside their Warboars. The rest of the Snakebites do not mind this, as they can use the Trukks and Wagons to get into hand to hand faster, something that the Snakebites excel in.
The Snakebite clan's rites of initiation are as primitive as their weapons and armour. The Snakebites always have a selection of venomous snakes that they carry with them. These snakes play an important part in the rites of initiation. When a new Ork decides to join the clan, or an Ork becomes old enough to be inducted into the caste of warriors within the clan, one of these snakes is let loose to bite the Ork, and if the Ork can immediately suck out the poison fast enough, he has proven his toughness and is allowed to join the Clan's Warrior caste.
Snakebite tribes are very nomadic, and it is for this reason only that they have many Starships. The Snakebite tribes' starships are extremely large, some being up to 50 miles in length, to accomodate the entire tribe. Only the largest Space Hulks are captured for the Clan's use, and then converted to accomodate the clan by making the inside look as much like the tribe's village as possible. When a tribe is done with one planet, they will move on to another, endlessly wandering throughout the galaxy in search of food and a new place to live. Snakebite tribes constantly land on Imperial, Chaos, Eldar, or other Planets belonging to another race, and on these planets they will fight until they are either victorious or the entire tribe is destroyed. Sometimes a tribe will land on an Ork planet, and on this planet they will try to recruit the local Orks into the Clan. For these reasons the Snakebite clan is the most fluctuating in number, with tribes being destroyed or growing in number almost every day.
Due to the Ork method of reproduction, many planets have been left with a new tribe growing upon it, created by the spores left from the tribe that had just inhabited the planet. Tribes will leave some of their venomous snakes behind for this new tribe, so that the tribe will have snakes suitable for their own rites of initiation. Due to the nomadic nature of the Snakebites, constantly moving from planet to planet, the Snakebite clan is also one of the fastest growing Clans among the Orks. Hundreds of worlds have been affected in this way, and new tribes have been created on worlds many years after the previous tribe had left. This is a constant problem for imperials, for when the Imperials rehabitate the planet, they will be bombarded by an Ork invasion from within. Often this will happen on worlds where the Imperials have just defeated a tribe, and they will be attacked by a fresh tribe, left over from the spores of the tribe that had just been defeated. For this reason also, the Snakebite tribe is considered as one of the deadliest and most dangerous Ork clans.
