After the Imperial Government surrendered, the empire automatically switched to boosting their economy, in return many switched over to The Greater Good, and it's beliefs, after that was out of the way The Empire focused on rebuilding their forces and many people were sent from septs all over the empire to help this new fledgling government grow, it wasn't until some year later where the new formed sept would be put to the test. What came was a Hive Fleet so massive scouts were still detecting parts of it for a week, but luckily only a small part of it splintered it off to combat Tau forces, the battling went on for 5 months and it was only won, when commander Darkstrike resorted to hit and run tactics as well as the heavy use of drones, after the battle was won Commander Darkstrike earned the moniker Mont'yr meaning bloodied in their language there they had a short time of peace and rebuilding. But It didn't last long until a Waaagh descended upon them and things seemed desperate but with the aid of the newly formed Gue'Vesa guard regiments to act as cannonfodder, and the hit and run tactics that won them their victory against the Tyranids, that things changed and the fire caste had their victory, and things settled down, and have stayed that way.[/hider]
