#redirect {{OrksPortal}}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 [[Battle Materium]] from a realm known as "subspace".{{Fn|1e}} Its arrival from subspace could take some time, and nearby planets were wracked with gravity and geological catastrophes.{{Fn|1a}} Once in-system, the Attack Moon would "recharge" by shattering and consuming worlds via powerful tractor beams.{{Fn|1b}} The largest feature of the Ork Moonwas an enormous snarling face, which could move and even speak in synch with the will of The Beast.{{Fn|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.{{Fn|1c}} This allowed it to employ endless waves of Orks warships and landing craft.{{Fn|1d}} ==See Also==*[[World Engine]] ==Sources==*1: [[I Am Slaughter (Novel)]]**{{Endn|1a}}: Chapter 21**{{Endn|1b}}: Chapter 31**{{Endn|1c}}: Chapter 34**{{Endn|1d}}: Chapter 27**{{Endn|1e}}: Chapter 25 [[Category:Fleet (Orks)]][[Category:Naval Vessels]][[Category:Space Stations]]
