Tunis is a Desert World of the Imperium.[1]

At one point, an Ork Space Hulk appeared above Tunis and launched an invasion of the planet. The population were no match for the Orks, who soon built a hidden base in one of the planet's numerous mountains in order to build more vehicles for a full-scale invasion. While the Orks built their war machines, a Speed Freak Warband, led by the Evil Sunz Nob Rotgrim Skab, attacked the population and destroyed anything in their path.[1]

Unable to stop the Orks, Tunis' Planetary Governor sent out a distress call and a nearby Imperial Fists ship received it and made its way to the planet. To the Governor's surprise, however, the ship only carried two squadrons - A First Company Terminator squadron led by Captain Darnath Lysander and a squadron of Scouts led by Veteran Scout Sergeant Hilts. Knowing it was only a matter of time before the main body of the Ork invaders completed work and attacked en masse, Hilts and his squadron mounted Scout Bikes and engaged the Speed Freak Warband.[1]

After a brief skirmish, the Imperial Fists Scouts disengaged and Rotgrim and his Orks gave chase. During their pursuit of the Scouts, Rotgrim herded the Imperial Fists into a mountain pass that ended at a solid rock face. There Rotgrim gave the signal and the hidden Ork base opened up behind the Scouts, with hundreds of Orks coming out to attack them. It was then, however, that the Scouts activated a Teleport Homer, which teleported Lysander and the First squadron directly in front of the base. The First squadron entered the base and laid waste to the Orks, who were caught off guard, and ended their threat to Tunis.[1]
