The '''Tuskbreakers''' are a [[Kroot Kindred]] that is currently active in the [[Koronus Expanse]] and engaged in a vendetta against the [[Ork]]s of the [[Undred-Undred Teef]].{{Fn|1}}
The ancestors of the Tuskbreakers arrived in the [[Accursed Demesne]] aboard the [[Warsphere]] ''[[Shek]]''near the planet [[Lathimon's Death]]. They were attacked by the Orks of the Undred-Undred Teef and, although the Greenskins were driven off, the Warsphere was left crippled and many of its warriors perished, leaving the Kroot to fend for themselves in the hostile environment of the Demesne. The Kindred refers to this period as the Darkening.{{Fn|1}}
After the battle, the Kroot approached their [[Shaper]], [[Kangak]], for guidance. Kangak sought to maintain a sense of purpose among his followers to preserve their morale, and envisioned a spiritual journey called the Great Ordeal, to foster a spirit of survival and revenge against the Orks. Warriors were chosen to head to remote worlds and, although many never returned, those that did retrieved experience and artifacts, and the Ordeal instilled a sense of purpose that saw the Kroot through the worst of the Darkening.{{Fn|1}}
