You know a [[Rok]]? Yeah, imagine one scaled up to the size of a ''small moon''. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Attack Moon.

An Attack Moon was the Imperial designation for a class of massive Ork vessels encountered during the [[War of the Beast]]. 

==Overview==
The flagships of the [[Warboss]] known only as [[The Beast]], an Attack Moon was a hollowed-out planetoid that travelled via transitioning into the Materium from a realm known as "subspace". Its arrival from subspace could take some time, and nearby planets were wracked with gravity and geological catastrophes, sometimes even torn apart.

Once in-system, the Attack Moon would "recharge" by shattering and consuming worlds via powerful tractor beams, a bit like [[Transformers|Unicron]]. The largest feature of the Ork Moon was an enormous snarling face, [[Wat|which could move and even speak in sync with the will of The Beast.]] In truth, [[Pretend|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. This allowed it to employ endless waves of Orks warships and landing craft. The main weapon of the Attack Moon was a "gravitic whip", a massive gravity weapon that would decimate entire squadrons of Cruisers and crush even Battleships in a single volley.

Attack Moons were constructed through a complicated process of placing one gravitic nexus into orbit and another on the surface of a planet, which would send the contents of the doomed world into space to be reformed into a massive space vessel.
