We have deliberately chosen to draw most of our inspiration from the orcs and the Uruk-hai presented in the iconic live-action Lord of the Rings movies rather than the Games Workshop setting. For this reason it is much better to avoid iconic Games Workshop symbols like the yellow crescent of the Bad Moon Orcs or the vibrant green of their green skins.

			Whilst this look and feel page provides the ideal costume for the nation, it is important for players to familiarise themselves with the [[Costume\|general costume rules]] for further guidelines, including those for [[Costume#Inappropriate_Costume\|inappropriate costume]].
			<p>
	In defining the ideal look and feel for the Imperial Orcs we have chosen not to include some images. Orcs are a common feature in many settings but we wanted to create our own version of orcs that fit with the story and setting of Empire. For this reason we deliberately omitted elements from other settings that are so striking and memorable that it is impossible to see them without thinking of the game that created them.

	The Imperial Orc look is a patchwork of second-hand clothing and equipment collected together. Equipment is aged and worn, a reflection of the Orc preference for old items with history and story over things that are new. Imperial Orcs have been free for barely the span of two generations, enough time to learn basic skills but not enough to master them. Moreover most orcs take pride in being able to make and maintain their own clothing and equipment but they have little interest in their appearance. As such Imperial Orc craftwork lacks sophistication - it is simple and practical.		The Imperial Orc look is a patchwork of second-hand clothing and equipment collected together.
