What do you think are the odds there are human prisoners on board to serve as food?

If only the Orks had something of value... Shame that they don't. A Space Hulk could be useful as those often contain rare technology which, while inferior to Necron science, would be of great value to the humans.

It's possible but not probable IMO.

Its probably best that we dont risk capturing a few ships

It should make a nice statement if we have successfully cleared out the entire system of enemy voidships before our allies even arrive.

We're playing the Necrons. Human prisoners aren't worth it either.

But we're only here to help the humans though, or do we stick with the Letter of the Deal with the Bishop; I.e the world?

[X] A few dozen Ork vessels of varying size are laid out before you. Seize them to fuel your own industry. (This should be relatively easy, but risk is still present. Rolls will be required)
If we can save human prisoners why not.

We have to check.
We have to check.
We only have speculation on the presence of human prisoners aboard the Ork vessels. In fact, unless my exceedingly poor literary comprehension skills have failed me once more, I can find no indication in the update concerning human prisoners aboard the vessels or that it is even a concern.
We have no evidence to believe that there are prisoners; if the Imperium somehow de-atomizes the wreckage and finds that there were humans aboard, we can, truthfully and honestly, claim that we acted in accordance with the spirit of the deal based on the information we had.

The Imperium will neither know nor care if the ork ships we obliterate happen to have some modest number of humans aboard. A completely vaporized human body has a very similar spectral profile to a completely vaporized ork body, and the Imperium just is not that sensitive to collateral damage.
This is the gist of the matter. The Imperium would already consider such people beyond saving and would do the same in turn.

Hmm, how much would we stand to gain from scrapping Ork vessels? To put it into perspective, we would be risking 250 for our excort, 1000 for our light cruisor, and 2500 for our Sythe. Depending on how much resources are on the table, I might be willing to roll the dice.

Im still very curious as normal the imperium is not this pragmatic with dealing with xenos. I am thoroughly convinced that there is something going on in the background with the imperium.

That's largely dependant on rolls. If everything's goes absolutely perfectly, perhaps 1.5 - 2k worth of 'useful' material.
As for risk. It's a battle. Potentially the risk is catastrophic. Realistically, anything above a light cruiser has very little to fear from these orks
From what the imperial have said. It is a matter of timetables. Without an immediate, existential threat occurring. The forces of the sector wouldn't be able to spare the troops to effect a liberation within the next half - full century. Not after the battle of Daeloth where the orks got basically a full decade to dig in and multiply.

I also considered the value of scrapping them but to be honest it'll be a drop in the bucket when taking into account how productive we can make our worlds.
Slightly more than I expected, honestly but then again we're unlikely to roll "perfectly". Still sticking with annihilation but good to know.

is a matter of timetables and factions i suppose
the further from more ''fanatical'' or ''orthodox'' sphere of influence of main imperial factions a sector is,the less they can rely on them for aid and therefore they must take a pragmatic aproach to things
you can afford genocide when you have an steady suply of sororitas in the neigbouring shrine world,not so much when you are an outskirt nation in the frontier that sometimes goes uncontacted for decades
so unless we turn into a major inmediate threath or they magically gain enough overwhelming strenght to ensure a conflict against doesnt cripple them,i doubt the local authorities will risk attacking us
