A starfield drifts into view, its usual tapestry of war and ruin giving way to an anomalous cluster of quiet light: the New Tau Empire. This improbable haven of stability was rebuilt from the shattered remnants of the old empire. It is a patchwork dominion of hundreds of worlds—two hundred settled by Tau and their client species, one hundred and twenty human planets liberated from Imperial dogma, five rugged Wotann strongholds, three distant, graceful Eldar craftworlds, and the seven silent, geometric realms of the Innotech Necron dynasty. A fragile peace is maintained here, though the air thrums with the unspoken tensions of this forced and unprecedented alliance.
