Accatran is an Imperial Forge World situated on the edge of the Ork Empire of Charadon. It is home to the Legio Destructor (Beasts of Steel).[1]

Overview

A heavily polluted world, the Mechanicum rulers of Accatran live deep underground, close to the planet's core. Highly hierarchical, the closer one lives to Accatran's core, the higher their status. While the ruling Magi live closest to the core, only the mad or barbaric tech-scavengers live on its hellscape of a surface. Visitors to Accatran are flown down into the planet's crust via landing tunnels and make planetfall at a location befitting of their position.[7]

The founder of Accatran was Xerxes Immortalis, a great general whom, legend insists, had held the planet free of darkness for a full millennium and more.[5]

Although the Archmagi of Accatran proclaim themselves as close allies of Ultramar, the world is truthfully nothing more than a dependency of Roboute Guilliman's realm,[8] and in the eyes of Mars Accatran is considered to be of an inferior grade when compared to other Forge-Worlds, such as Tigrus.[7b]

The inhabitants of Accatran wear predominantly black coloured robes.[8]
