I have 2x questions regarding the dalyth sept strategem:

1) Is the correct reading of the strategem that the strat must be used and the unit selected at the start of the shooting phase but that it does NOT need to shoot immediately and move immediately? This seems to be the RAW interpretation.

2) Can a dalyth sept crisis suit team use the fire and fade strategem after deepstriking?

1) Correct, you must select the unit at the start of the phase, but do not have to immediately fire with them. When you do fire with them, they get to move after shooting as per the stratagem.

2) Yes, they can. It won't do anything however. Special Snowflake FAQ explicitly states reinforcements may not make any form of movement in the turn they arrive, and then also says they can charge, pile in and consolidate. So while you can technically use the stratagem on the unit, the unit won't get to make the move.
