I don't think so, they were described as Apes. Besides it's W40K, a lot of races are warlike. Heck, just look at human history.

So while I'm no longer 100% sure, I'm also not going to discount it being Orks.

from discord " I, uh. Actually need a good quote for first contact with (feral) orks. " Also, right afterwords "Congratulations you've met the dominant species of the Reach."

So they're orks.

Sod isolationism. Ignorance is no defense in this galaxy, and if we wait for disaster to strike we'll wait until too late.

There are two ways to survive in the dark forest.
One can try to fight the hunters, or one can hide.

The problem with intervention is that we could greatly increase the danger for these civilizations, because we do not improve their self-defense ability at all (we don't offer any technological assistance) and being warned of the threat doesn't mean anything when you don't have the power to adress it.
Meanwhile, the presence and activities of our vessels could draw attention.

Our interventionist options manage to be the worst of both world's. Enough contact to be highly disruptive, but too little contact to actually change anything.

My concern her is the hunters are doing just that: hunting. On a cultural level we clearly expect they'll be back and that it'll be a huge war, and any time we don't interact with other species is time they can't spend preparing in some aspect
