The Orcs of Kara'Kar

The Orcs of Kara'Kar are a breed of aboriginal orcs with shamanistic roots and a past rooted deeply in their Homeland, which they call Kara'Kar. They came through the Gate of the Stars onto a land whose constellations and stars were unfamiliar to them. They called their new homeland, Kara'Kar, and recorded the new stars and new positions of some constellations they were familiar with (such as Canis Major, the Wolf Constellation, to them). Now in a new pristine wilderness, they seek to thrive.
With a culture based on Shamanism, the Orcs also revere their ancestors. They come from the land of Kara'Kar, which in their language means "Homeland." The orcs are a proud warrior race, having unlocked the riddle of steel (mostly thanks to the civilized orcs living amongst them). Their blacksmiths make arms for the people, and also steel products -- pots, pans, and nails. The smiths also produce armor for the orcs. Orc armor mostly consists of chainmaille, although some orcs have taken to making piecemeal armor. Armor plating that doesn't cover the whole body.
The orcs prefer the axe as a weapon. They like how they could wield it and throw it. Although orc development of the bow is also important. The orcs prefer the short bow, and the lead arrow head.

Orcs, like humans, are omnivorous. They eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, and meat. They have domesticated animals for this purpose. When they came to the Sol system, they had to domesticate pigs, chickens, goats, cattle, and sheep for meat. They also grew vegetables and grains to supplement their diets with. The orcs typically eat as much as humans, although it's considered to be impolite to be voracious in eating. Cooking is a favored past time of orcs, they enjoy their meats well done. They even grind meats to make sausage. They use a variety of herbs to make their sausage taste good. Orcs also make a variety of cheeses from goat and cattle milk.  The cheeses they make resemble cheddar and mithzra in taste.
