Editing Shadowsun (section)

==The Fourth & Fifth Sphere Expansion==
After the Fourth Sphere Expansion tore a giant asshole in the universe (due to Tau trying proper warptravel with their new AL-38 Slipstream Module) the Fourth Expansion fleet was deemed lost. Some years later, however, it turned out the giant asshole was indeed a wormhole, leading to a region of frontier Imperial space (the Ultima Segmentum, Imperium Nihilus, between Khar Dunaish and Hexos). The Fifth Expansion fleet was sent through and encountered the remnants of the Fourth Sphere Expansion fleet, huddled around what they called the 'Startide Nexus' and three colonized planets. Shadowsun fought a few battles alongside the Fourth Sphere armies, but quickly opted to pull them back when she was using auxiliaries, as they had turned into genocidal fuckwits (probably due to them witnessing their auxiliaries being mutated in the warp).

After some time, the [[Death Guard|old, fat, ugly bastard marines of Nurgle]] noticed a direct path to the heart of the Tau Empire, which they chose to exploit. Commander Tsundere somehow won when the Death Guard just retreated for some reason. She is now leading the Tau in the Fifth Sphere Expansion, in what is now dubbed the Nem'Yar Atoll.

Got a book titled after her written by [[Phil Kelly|the usual guy]] and it's... surprisingly good! It does look like she'll turn traitor ala Farsight 2, but otherwise she's shown as being pretty good. Seems she's getting wise as to what Chaos and the Warp are as well, which may be the reason for her potential defection since the Ethereals are known to be deliberately telling the Tau jack shit about it.
