Tau (revolutionary force) - Commander Au'Sum - Aun Korst'la Sept -
Years after the Orks took Canton VII the Tau Ethereals started looking at ways to add the planet to their empire. Knowing that no lasting peace would ever exist between the Orks and the Tau the Ethereals approached the citizens that had been abandoned to face the maelstrom headed their way. A private deal with a majority of the aristocracy was reached: Evacuate the planet to the Orks and when the majority of the threat has passed, return to their holdings, as new members of the Tau Empire. Quietly, over the last six months the Tau have been making planetfall and amassing its strike forces to capture key targets. The city of Avarus is a key city for the Tau. There are plenty buildings that house information the Tau can use against the planets old keepers and Commander Au'sum and his honour guard have their eyes set on that prize.
