'''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).{{Fn|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 from to Accatran's core, the higher their status. While the ruling [[Magos|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.{{Fn|7}}
The founder of Accatran was [[Xerxes Immortalis]], a great general whowhom, legend insists, had held the planet free of darkness for a full millennium and more.{{Fn|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]]sā 's realm,{{Fn|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]].{{Fn|7b}}
The inhabitants of Accatran wear predominantly black coloured robes.{{Fn|8}}
Accatran is known to produce its own patterns of [[laspistol]]s, [[lasgun]]s, [[shotgun]]s and other weapons. All of them are characterized by light weight, ideal for drop troops:
