==Overview==
'''The Fang ''' (also called '''The Aett'''{{Fn|4}}) is located on the highest peak of a mountain range towards the centre of [[Asaheim]]. These mountains are the tallest on Fenris, and the highest is located at the centre of the range, looking like a great fang above the other mountains.{{Fn|1}}
The Fang is perhaps the greatest fortress constructed since the fortifications of the [[Imperial Palace]] on [[Terra]]. It is so big as to pierce the atmosphere of Fenris, providing a docking point for orbiting spacecraft and allowing quick access to the surface without having to use sub-orbital transport. It is clad in immensely thick armour and is protected by [[void shields]] stronger even than those on the mightiest Imperial warships. Shafts have been cut into the mountainside, concealing vast [[laser]] batteries capable of blasting the biggest ships in the galaxy. These weapons are as old as the Chapter itself, a testament to the reliability of the level of technology produced during the [[Great Crusade]]. Also, the thermal reactors powering the weapons and shields are of that age, wondrous though it is to think they still actually work.{{Fn|1}}
