Juggernaught



Juggernaughts (known throughout their history as ogre juggernaughts, orc juggernauts, fel orc/orc juggernaughts, juggernauts, and ogre juggernauts ) are massive warships. They were used during the second war.

Description
These gargantuan ships of war are the main armament in the dark armada of the Horde. Heavily armed and armored, the Juggernaughts are veritable floating fortresses that constitute the greatest implement of destruction within the Horde's naval forces. While not as swift as the Troll warships, these ruinous craft have quickly come to be feared across the seas of Azeroth for the unrelenting onslaught they render against the Alliance. The Horde is known to defend their Transports with Destroyers and Juggernaughts. The Foundry is instrumental in creating the massive armor plates and lethal cannons that are found on the greatest of the Orc warships - the Juggernaught.

The earliest of the prodigy engineers developed the phlogiston-powered boilers that allowed the goblins to replace their scout balloons with enormous zeppelins, and the Horde to take its ironclad juggernauts to sea. The Horde's oceangoing juggernauts are so large or so difficult to construct that few tinkers could complete the task on their own. While untrained workers can assist by moving raw materials and handling simple tasks, multiple, skilled tinkers must combine their efforts to guide the project to timely completion.

The Horde's navy speaks of slow and powerful warfare. Troll destroyers and orc juggernauts rule the seas, raining flaming death on anything foolish enough to combat them. However, orcs do not have as strong a navy as they used to. The trolls left the Horde after the Second War, and humans put captured orcs into enslavement camps. The Alliance dismantled orc refineries, and stripped their ships for parts. After the founding of Durotar, and the alliance with certain troll and ogre tribes, the Horde's naval power grows once again.

VanCleef's most ambitious plan involves the reconstruction of a huge war machine, an ogre juggernaut from the First War. He has hired goblins to repair the ship, as it was their race that constructed the ships originally. VanCleef plans to use the ship to disrupt trade with Stormwind, thus depriving Stormwind of the riches that the city wrongfully withheld from the Stonemasons' Guild. VanCleef wants to turn the ship into a pirate ship.

Cataclysm
However, Alliance adventurers thwarted VanCleef's plan and killed him. His daughter Vanessa intends to continue his plan, and the Horde wants the juggernaut for itself to destroy Stormwind.
