The Attack Moon was the Imperial designation for a massive Ork vessel encountered during the War of the Beast. The flagship of the Warboss known only as The Beast, the Attack Moon was a hollowed out planetoid which traveled via transitioning into the Materium from a realm known as "subspace".[1e] Its arrival from subspace could take some time, and nearby planets were wracked with gravity and geological catastrophes.[1a] Once in-system, the Attack Moon would "recharge" by shattering and consuming worlds via powerful tractor beams.[1b] The largest feature of the Ork Moon was an enormous snarling face, which could move and even speak in synch with the will of The Beast.[1b]
In truth, the Attack Moon was neither a true sphere or an independently operating vessel. It was simply the end-point for the Ork subspace tunnel dubbed a "Waaagh! Gate" by the greenskins.[1c] This allowed it to employ endless waves of Orks warships and landing craft.[1d]
