Kanak
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Kanak is a volcano-wracked world, peopled by fierce barbarian tribes. Due to the harsh environment, some of its inhabitants have evolved to become closer to Ogryn than human. The Kanaks are recruited into the Imperial Guard as the Kanak Skull Takers where their savage natures can be put to use.[1]

Behind the Scenes
Because the Term Kanake is a derogatory word in German-speaking countries, the name was changed from Kanak to Chanak in the German translation of the 3rd Edition Codex.
