HISTORY[]

Xe'nonspetsymbol

During Commmander Farsight's campaign against the Orks, shortly after the Damocles Gulf Crusade, when the Ethreals were all killed in battle, millions of T'au decided to leave, deeming it too useless to repel the greenskins, left the planet but were ambushed by multiple Ork Kill Kroozer's and all of them made an emergency landing at a nearby planet nearly destroying the entire fleet. After crash landing on this planet they realized it would take a long time for them to rebuild, so they started rebuilding and making small temporary villages. Luckily most of the survivors were Earth caste members from the Bork'an sept allowing them to advance at a steady pace and have the knowledge to rebuild their ships. After 2 generations of time they were able to finally rebuild all of their ships and they traveled to the Sept Vior'la. Vior'la saw this fleet of ships and assumed that the Farsight Enclaves were assualting them so in response, they attacked the fleet. Repelled by the storm from Vior'la they went back to the planet cluster they came from and made it into a Sept.

Xe'non[]

Xe'non is the main world of the Xe'non Sept. Xe'non is covered in dense jungles and forests and is the main Fire Warrior supplier of the Xe'non Sept. The Fire Warriors are sent into the giant jungle called Shas'Var (more below). It is naturally populated by Mal'Far, an insectoid bear-like creature, which is the alpha preadator on the planet that seems to have no intelligence. It is also populated by the Mal'Jas which has a strange itelligence and helped the T'au first colonize the world by teaching them how to use its materials. Not much more is known about the Mal'Jas. The capital city of Shas'Voa developed in the 3rd Sphere Expansion and they made a working body of government. Being a relatively small Sept they are able to coordinate deadly assualts a lot faster than any other Sept in the T'au Empire.

Fire Warriors of Xe'non[]

The Fire Warriors of this sept are put through multiple Test of the Jungles where they are deployed in Shas'Var with nothing other than a pulse pistol, ammo packs, and some clothes. In this trial they have to live with the natural resources they find, and be by themselves for 80 days with no contact. This refines the T'au Fire Warrior and gives them the expierence of being behind enemy lines by themselves for days. A few of them never come back either through finding no food, killed by a Mal'Far, or even just ending their lives themselves. This makes the Fire Warrior more adept in jungle warfare and survival skills. They are perfectly fine behind enemy lines for weeks and if they are in numbers, are the best T'au to deploy for guerilla warfare.

Kor'baxis[]

Kor'baxis was the second world the Xe'non Sept settled into a functional world. This world was strange when found as it was a cave world. There was little life on top of the surface but the massive caves underneath had a different story. The native population of Gu'sha (Ape Warriors) did not take a liking to the Tau Empire and fought back against the invaders. They are massive 10 foot tall bipedal warriors with a high intelligence that use pulse sluggers that create a high impact missile out of the crystals in their enviroment. The crystals of Kor'baxis have a special function that creates EMP waves ever so often, disabling the T'au technology and rendering them useless. The T'au however started using regular grenades and slugthrowers to stop the charges of the Gu'sha. After sustaining tens of millions of losses after 12 years of warfare the Gu'sha surrendered to the T'au and became part of ther Empire and helped the T'au to settle Kor'Baxis.
