Xenos were monstrous, treacherous, and terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant mankind had come to hate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, for survival, humanity — led by the Emperor — purged entire xenos species across the galaxy in mass extinction events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fleets of the Great Crusade cut all the way to the galactic eastern fringe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, humanity discovered a tribe of blue-skinned primitives who had just learned how to light fires with flint and build tools from wood. They lived a pastoral, idyllic life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Totally unaware of the horrors of the galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The T'au were naturally devoid of psychic potential, almost completely insulated from the Warp. Their souls were nearly invisible to the Immaterium and highly resistant to Chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant they were spared the horrors that plagued other races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to the Imperium, a xeno was a xeno. Even if they were still primitive, they could someday rise and pose a threat to mankind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such things had happened before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aeldari had once ruled the galaxy in a golden age — the masters of the stars — and during their peak of hedonistic excess, humanity was still a bunch of naked monkeys on Old Terra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in mere tens of thousands of years, mankind rose to dominance. The Aeldari danced too hard and lost everything, and were forced to wander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Imperium, the competition among galactic species was a brutal, no-mercy struggle. Every xeno could be the next existential threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was best to kill them at the root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the Crusade fleets gave the order to purge the T'au homeworld and clear the way for human colonization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the fleet arrived, a sudden Warp storm engulfed the star system — sealing off the T'au homeworld, making any approach or attack impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no choice, the Crusade forces abandoned the purge, logged the encounter, and withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area was marked as a \"Chaos-Occupied Zone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For various reasons, the T'au purge plan was postponed indefinitely. Then came rebellions, the Age of Apostasy, and the T'au records all but vanished into obscurity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the T'au survived — growing rapidly over the following millennia, their technology advancing by leaps and bounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even better, the surrounding regions had already been purged by human fleets — leaving the T'au with no hostile neighbors during their formative years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came to dominate their region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the T'au Empire is a highly advanced civilization led by the Ethereals and guided by their philosophy — the Greater Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They strive to include other species into their fold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to develop together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their ideology is simple: the needs of the collective outweigh those of the individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Followers of the Greater Good dedicate themselves to this belief — working tirelessly, fighting bravely, and even giving their lives to achieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under its guidance, even the smallest act that benefits the group is honored and praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While those few arrogant, selfish individuals who threaten the collective are shamed and rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such ideology, T'au cities are orderly and clean — dotted with sculptures, parks, and energy-shielded domes to protect citizens from hostile environments and xeno attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost all T'au adhere to the Greater Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dream of sharing their ideals with all intelligent life — even backward or savage species.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They believe the Greater Good can unite all civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, expansion is their sacred mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The T'au never stopped expanding. They colonized relentlessly, and whenever they found a new alien civilization—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would first send diplomats to negotiate and share the benefits of the Greater Good and the glory of the T'au Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the aliens accepted, the T'au would immediately start colonizing — distributing supplies and tech, assigning new labor duties, integrating them into the Greater Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not every species accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To those stubborn, ignorant, resistant, and backward xenos, the T'au deployed overwhelming firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't shy from violence — it was simply another tool to spread their ideology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, compared to most galactic powers, they were relatively civilized. They didn't revel in wanton destruction — they showed mercy to conquered worlds, preserving resources and populations for use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the T'au's eyes, it was the strong's duty to offer mercy — to guide the shortsighted and offer them redemption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, captives were reeducated, destroyed cities rebuilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turned into forward bases for the T'au Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so the T'au expanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their biggest crisis?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Imperium of Man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 742.M41, the Imperium launched a reconquest to reclaim Warp-isolated territories — and discovered that many worlds in the Damocles Gulf had defected to a race called the T'au.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outrage followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such treachery was intolerable — the Imperium launched a full assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, things went well — T'au fleets were crushed, and the Crusade advanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until five months later, when they reached the T'au homeworlds—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And underestimated their enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heavy losses followed. Infuriated, the Imperium escalated the war, sending vast reinforcements and battleships to annihilate the T'au.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The T'au knew nothing of it. They readied their fleets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the strike could come, the Tyranids invaded the galaxy — ravaging Imperial worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Crusade was recalled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the T'au, the Imperium had tasted defeat and fled, terrified of their might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, they believed they'd bested the mighty Imperium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And their confidence soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They believed the Greater Good had secured them a rightful place among the stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After centuries of growth, the T'au now had more powerful weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they began a new wave of expansion — to spread the Greater Good across the galaxy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To become its rulers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden compared all this and muttered, \"The T'au may not be that strong… but damn, they're civilized.

Their functions even overlapped. And now, their borders were near each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost certain they would clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their newfound confidence, the T'au would eventually leave their starter zone and approach his territory — perhaps requesting his planets join the Greater Good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friction was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope it doesn't lead to war…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden furrowed his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't hate the T'au — they were civilized, and too small to pose a real threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His domain had no appetite for war with a rational xeno race. There was no reason to spark conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, his own territory had xeno auxiliaries. The Ecclesiarchy was eager to spread the Savior's gospel to aliens as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made this possible was Eden's divine presence — his faith binding even xenos to him, suppressing any rebellion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The galaxy was growing ever more dangerous — ordinary citizens might not feel it, but human worlds were in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at what happened in Charalton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humanity was nearing its end times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything that could strengthen them had to be seized — they had to survive before worrying about xeno purity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans would remain the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would not cohabitate with xenos — potential threats must be minimized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden considered his T'au strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, his territory had just finished a brutal war. It was rebuilding time — vast lands needed development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Interior Ministry had marked Charalton as a core region — not a vassal — meaning reconstruction would follow high standards: psychic networks, holy towers, infrastructure, education, agriculture, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So long as the T'au didn't mess with him—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd let them be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no desire for another war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Eden sent directives to the Interior Ministry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were to establish contact with the T'au, explore diplomacy and trade, and avoid war unless provoked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that handled—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to review documents on Charalton's massive reconstruction project and scheduled his upcoming travels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though most governance was handled by Bayev and others—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needed to show up publicly to reinforce faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his calendar filled with new visits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One entry stood out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The designated pilot world for Charalton's reconstruction: Oms — a planet devastated beyond measure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its recovery would be the blueprint for hundreds of other civilized worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaders from across the region would visit, observe, and learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would absorb the Savior's teachings and report their needs and struggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the changes on this world would echo across Charalton — showing the people what blessings came from following the Savior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his work, Eden put away his tablet and pulled a blanket over his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his physique could survive subzero weather—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some habits from his genes remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how hot it was, you had to cover your stomach — air conditioning or not, even if there was no blanket, you'd put your hand on your belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The environmental simulation continued to hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wind rustled and insects chirped, Eden fell into a deep sleep— only to be pulled into yet another dream, where he held intimate and \"diplomatic\" talks with Slaanesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time's dream plot:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Savior stumbles into T'au space and is \"physically interrogated\" by a legion of beautiful T'au women using terrifying devices and seduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hsss…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half-asleep, Eden muttered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn you, Slaanesh… really hitting the theme tonight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eastern Galactic Fringe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Planet Karo — a human world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the royal hall—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banners fluttered between giant stained-glass windows, and Seraphim murals covered the ceiling — most wielding swords or clutching locked tomes of truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The planetary governor sat on the throne, flanked by guards in full regalia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped his staff gently and asked the captain:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the name of the Emperor, who approaches?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard captain answered solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Lord Chamberlain of His Majesty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what is their purpose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your permission, I present the T'au Empire's diplomatic envoy…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They followed the planet's ancient ceremony and rites to the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the central hall, the T'au envoy — led by Water Caste diplomat Shadowstream — watched the spectacle with faint amusement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her younger years, such formalities would have irritated her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now she understood — letting the ignorant cling to their outdated rituals made assimilation easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Humans truly are an ignorant, barbaric species…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadowstream sighed inwardly. \"Their political systems are so outdated and corrupt.
