'''Tusk''' is a name given by [[Ork]]s to a world at the heart of [[Undred-Undred Teef]].{{Fn|1b}} There may once have been an indigenous population on what is now Tusk, but it is long dead, any ruins of its existence ground to dust or torn apart to build the heart of an enduring Ork Empire.{{Fn|2}}
==Population==
Tusk is a world of factories and workshops, scaffolds and shipyards unceasing in their labours, producing weapons, vehicles, and starships for the Orks in vast quantities. The industry on Tusk has spread across the planet like a plague of fire and iron, the only remaining open spaces on the world serving only as testing grounds for new inventions and battlefields for restless greenskins (or both).{{Fn|2}}
This industry is not confined to the surface, either. Hundreds of vessels crowd the orbits of Tusk, many of which are being constructed or repaired. Others, such as the massive and derelict [[space hulk ]] ''[[Fist of Gork]]'', sit idle above the world, serving no purpose save being immense steel carcasses for the Orks to plunder, salvaging scrap metal and starship components to use on the ships that will function.{{Fn|2}}
==Moon of Slagnaz==
Tusk’s only moon, cracked and scarred where the ''Fist of Gork '' collided with it shortly after arriving, is no less polluted and metal-strewn as the planet it circles, but for different reasons. Constructed during the time of [[Ork Warlord|Warlord]] [[Gulgrog]], the fortress moon '''Slagnaz''' dominates the skies above Tusk. Its spires and towers provide Tusk with an additional collection of planetary defences, mostly weapons salvaged from wrecked starships, and its great hall is resplendent with the trophies of whichever Ork can claim it as his own, plus those of every ruler who has come before. Currently, this is [[Snaga Morbad]], who claims to have been one of [[Warlord]] [[Gulgrog]]’s Gulgrog’s [[Nobz]], centuries before. However, [[Morgaash Kulgraz]] is rapidly gathering the hordes of Undred-Undred Teef behind him, and Snaga may yet be defeated.{{Fn|2}}
