Moab was a nation located east of Canaan near the Dead Sea. Moab is most notable for being a furious enemy of Israel, devoutly following the Baal-god Chemosh, close relationships with the Amorites, Midianites and Edomites and being the subject of many biblical prophecies. Oftentimes Moab referred more to the region or people group than it being its own sovereign nation, as it was often subject to the rule of the Amorites, Midianites, Edomites and Israelites.

- Moab is an unremarkable world located to the galactic East of the great Forge World of Mezoa. Had it not been found at its location at a nexus of stable Warp-routes it is likely that Moab would never have been colonised. As it was, the world quickly became one of the most populous Civilised Worlds and even the administrative Sub-capital of the Cyclops Cluster. After several decades of prosperity which would eventually lead to its independence, Moab would suffer harshly during the Horus Heresy, becoming most famed for the dire events known as the "Sorrow of Moab." Reconquered in the aftermath of the galactic civil war, Moab quickly regained its former position within the Gothic Sector.
- Moab (Hebrew: מוֹאָב, Modern Mo'av Tiberian Môʼāḇ ; "seed of father"; Greek Μωάβ Mōav; Arabic مؤاب, Assyrian Mu'aba, Ma'ba, Ma'ab ; Egyptian Mu'ab) is the historical name for a mountainous strip of land in modern-day Jordan running along the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. In ancient times, it was home to the kingdom of the Moabites, a people often in conflict with their Israelite neighbors to the west. The Moabites were a historical people, whose existence is attested to by numerous archeological findings, most notably the Mesha Stele, which describes the Moabite victory over an unnamed son of King Omri of Israel. Their capital was Dibon, located next to the modern Jordanian town of Dhiban.
- The Israelites, in entering the "promised land", did not pass through the Moabites, (Judges 11:18) but conquered Sihon's kingdom and his capital at Heshbon. After the conquest of Canaan the relations of Moab with Israel were of a mixed character, sometimes warlike and sometimes peaceable. With the tribe of Benjamin they had at least one severe struggle, in union with their kindred the Ammonites and the Amalekites. The Benjaminite shofet Ehud ben Gera assassinated the Moabite king Eglon and led an Israelite army against the Moabites at a ford of the Jordan river, killing many of them.

| - Moab was a nation located east of Canaan near the Dead Sea. Moab is most notable for being a furious enemy of Israel, devoutly following the Baal-god Chemosh, close relationships with the Amorites, Midianites and Edomites and being the subject of many biblical prophecies. Oftentimes Moab referred more to the region or people group than it being its own sovereign nation, as it was often subject to the rule of the Amorites, Midianites, Edomites and Israelites.
- The Israelites, in entering the "promised land", did not pass through the Moabites, (Judges 11:18) but conquered Sihon's kingdom and his capital at Heshbon. After the conquest of Canaan the relations of Moab with Israel were of a mixed character, sometimes warlike and sometimes peaceable. With the tribe of Benjamin they had at least one severe struggle, in union with their kindred the Ammonites and the Amalekites. The Benjaminite shofet Ehud ben Gera assassinated the Moabite king Eglon and led an Israelite army against the Moabites at a ford of the Jordan river, killing many of them. The story of Ruth, on the other hand, testifies to the existence of a friendly intercourse between Moab and the Israelite town of Bethlehem in the province of Judah. Through his great-grandmother Ruth the Moabitess, David, King of Israel had Moabite blood in his veins. He committed his parents to the protection of the king of Moab (who may or may not have been his kinsman, as some dubious non-Biblical Jewish texts state that Ruth was a member of Moab's royal family), when hard pressed by King Saul. (1 Samuel 22:3,4) But here all friendly relations stop forever. The next time Moab is mentioned is when David has invaded it and made the Moabites tributary to Israel. Moab may have been under the rule of an Israelite governor during this period; among the Jewish exiles who returned from Babylonia in the 6th century BC were a clan descended from Pahath-Moab, whose name means "ruler of Moab". The Bible states that the Ezra and Nehemiah, the Jewish governors appointed by the Persians during this period, enforced an anti-miscegenation policy and commanded Jewish men to divorce Moabite wives.
