"For the greater good!!!" yelled the Broadside teams as the opened fire upon the unsuspecting Imperial scum. As suddenly as it begun it stopped the Imperial troops rose their heads above their trenches only to see a never ending wave of Fire warriors and Kroot lead by the charismatic commander Alli' tis, then the unmistakable sound of pulse rifles wizzed across the battlefield followed by the sound of bodies dropping to the ground with a thud their screams could be heard by the XV25 stealth suit teams waiting by the hill for their orders to move in. But a great space battle raging just above their heads was coming to a end with the Imperial victory looming Alli' tis ordered her troops to retreat to the Orca drop-ships not to far away from the battle zone. Leaving the planets atmosphere they witnessed the carnage the Imperial caused but 6 allied ships were still operational the Orca drop-ships begun docking procedures while under heavy enemy fire but eventually all where on board. The Tau ships begun the jump to warp space but in the few milliseconds leading up to the jump to warp the Tau were shown the full might of Imperial fire power, the ships made it to warp but were heavily damaged forcing Alli' tis' forces to drop out of warp in an unknown star system. The star ships engines begun and to fail and one by one each ship begun to fall into the gravity of the planet they were orbiting, luckily Alli'tis' ship and three other survived the fall down. For years they lived there but during that time Alli' tis begun to rebuild using the ships for shelter as she also saw this as an opportunity to enforce her radical new ideas. She believed that the greater good needed to be forced upon other aliens instead of sending messengers to politely ask them she believes that during a time of war force MUST be shown to their enemies similar to that of the Orks or the Space-marines so she thought her troops to fight like them using what she's seen of in the battlefield eventually Eldar scout ships landed on the planet now named after Alli' tis. Alli' tis using her superior power to overpower the Eldar she then used the 10 scout ships to capture a Small Eldar ship in orbit, killing the crew and taking it for her own a few years later she accumulated an entire fleet of Eldar ships she even created new weapons and armor by fusing Eldar and Tau technology. She lead her army of Tau and Eldar that wish to serve under her command to other planets conquering them, eventually she decided to break away from the rest of the Tau empire to become the Shadow empire a mix of Tau and Eldar she begun to form her own empire and now believes the way of the old Tau needs to come to an end and that Alli' tis shall rule the Tau instead of the Ethereals. And to this day she wages war against all other races with her new Tau/Eldar army in hopes that the Shadow empire will rule the galaxy and all that dwell in it.
