Ultima Segementum, Oracle Sector, Planets Alturas 1, and Alturas 2, 900.M41

It was decided that this would be the next expansion for the Tau Empire, that the planets here would be a good choice to incorporate into their ever growing territory. Though these territories were already inhabited by the Imperium, and any diplomatic efforts were pushed back and the emissaries executed. This of course was not well met by the Castes of the Tau Empire, who immediately began mobilize forces to take the planets by force. If they would not join the Empire willingly they would force them into submission or flatten them completely. The Fal’Shia sept was chosen for this task given their tendency to have some of the more advanced war gear, and considering that the Empire would be up against a Forge World in this system they chose to have as many advantages as possible. This force would be lead by Shas’o Fal’Shia Kais Aloh Var, a fairly new Commander within the Fire Caste, but a rising star who they believed would perform extremely well. He set his sights on Alturas 2 seeing it as the most Strategic target. Removing the Agri world’s supplies would slowly starve the Forge World’s protectors. So their ships set off and the invasion of Alturas 2 prepared to begin.

So this RP is set in the Warhammer 40k Universe, specifically within the Tau faction. Now there will be plenty of races to play though more specifically three that will not need GM approval to play as. I will pop in the races in a little later. You will be playing as a member of the Tau expedition force invading the Oracle Sector and as such the invading force for Alturas 2 and 1. This roleplay can contain violence, oppressive acts, romance, drama, and death. If you can’t stomach some of the more gratuitous violence then this probably isn’t for you.

The Tau are a young race of technologically-oriented beings from the Eastern Fringe and the dominant species of the Tau Empire. T'au, the Tau home planet, was discovered in 789.M35 by the Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator Fleet ship Land's Vision. Adeptus Mechanicus records indicate that at that time, the Tau species had mastered the use of simple tools and weapons, as well as fire. Before the planet could be cleansed and colonized by the Imperium, however, a violent Warp-storm erupted around the planet. This continued for 6,000 years, making the Tau's homeworld utterly inaccessible.
It was not until the Damocles Crusade that the Imperium again contacted the Tau. The Imperium found the primitive Tau had advanced considerably. In six thousand years, the Tau had advanced from spears and fire to colonizing planets and Pulse Rifles.

The Kroot originated on the world of Pech and, though their physiology is humanoid, there is evidence to suggest that the roots of their evolution may be avian in origin. They retain vestigial beaks and have a light, almost hollow bone structure, with four digits on each hand and foot. Their skin is rough with small, barbed spines, similar to the elongated quills on their heads, protruding from various locations on their flesh. Skin pigmentation ranges from earthy brown colours and dappled greens to vibrant oranges and everything in between. Depending on the feeding directions of the Kroot Shapers, the colouration of each kindred can vary quite considerably. It is also common for Kroot from each kindred to have particular tribal markings painted onto their skin. Kroot mature quickly, with their most rapid period of growth occurring in the first ten years of their lives. By the age of twelve they are considered adults and it is not unknown for Kroot to live to over a hundred years old, their skin becoming increasingly pitted and leathery in their last few years of life.

Gue'vesa are often the descendants of Imperial Guard troops who, during the Damocles Crusade, were abandoned in Tau space and chose to join the Tau rather than face execution. For them, fate has dictated that the Imperial Cult and the rule of the Adeptus Terra be replaced by loyalty to the collectivist Tau Empire and to the ruling Ethereal caste.
