	The Tau had finally gone and pissed the [[Imperium of Man]] off but good, as they had established a series of trade agreements with Imperial Worlds on the frontier, near the Damocles Gulf - and had begun trading goods and technology with the humans of the frontier. Naturally, since the Imperium immediately refers to any contact with Xenos that doesn't involve killing them with fire as [[Heresy]], the Administratum flew into a rage that would make an [[Angry Marines\|Angry Marine]] titter with schoolgirlish glee were they capable of such. After [[Warp\|fucking around for a while]] they eventually got a huge ass fleet into the sector about a century later and began blowing the fuck out of everything and pushing deep into Tau Empire territory.		The Tau had finally gone and pissed the [[Imperium of Man]] off but good, as they had established a series of trade agreements with Imperial Worlds on the frontier, near the Damocles Gulf - and had begun trading goods and technology with the humans of the frontier.

After [[Warp\|fucking around for a while]] they eventually got a huge ass fleet (which, while composed of more than a dozen regiments, elements of SM chapters, and fucking TITANS, is still described as a small imperial force) into the sector about a century later and began blowing the fuck out of everything and pushing deep into Tau Empire territory.

	The Imperial rapetrain ground to an abrupt halt when they came across the Dal'yth sept, which basically decided to do a bang-up impression of the [[Imperial Guard]] and hold the fucking line. Simultaneously amazed and horrified by the prospect any race, let alone a bunch of blue-skinned unguligrade alien space communists, could have the [[Colonel "Iron Hand" Straken\|mighty balls]] to stand up to the Imperium in a stand-up drag-down fight, the Imperium was momentarily given pause - before it resumed doing its usual thing and blowing the fuck out of its enemies. Turns out the Tau had been deliberately giving ground to the Imperial crusaders, evacuating what they could and [[Grimdark\|sacrificing several worlds]] to buy the Empire enough time to recall their forces elsewhere to make a stand.

	It's worth noting that there are some human Hive Worlds in the Tau Empire. Because it's an established fact that a single Hive World can have more population than the entire Tau species, it’s questionable who holds the real power (or will eventually) (whoever has the superior firepower, like the premodern colonial empires).

	Private Jeakim Slovaz was formerly an Imperial Guardsman who served in the 19th Brimlock Dragoons. Apparently, the regiment was abandoned in Tau space following the end of the Damocles Gulf Crusade. Because all of their [[Commissars]] had (supposedly) been {{BLAM}}med by the Tau, the regiment decided to surrender before they all got fucked up as well. The only details following this incident came from a Tau propaganda campaign (not necessarily a bad thing) involving Jeakim Slovaz who told of the humane treatment that human prisoners of war could expect to receive from the Tau Empire <strike>{{BLAM\|HERESY!}}</strike>. Understandably, the Imperium were not pleased with Jeakim's involvement in the Tau propaganda campaign, and proceeded to label him EXCOMMUNICATE TRAITORIS due to his heretical interaction with foul [[Xenos\|xenos]].

	Originally, most of the Gue'vesa came from [[Imperial Guard]] units abandoned in Tau space at the end of the [[Damocles Crusade]], though these were mostly garrisoned on their own worlds and rarely participated in Tau <s>crusades</s> Spheres Of Expansion. As time has passed, most Gue'vesa are now recruited from Tau-administered human populations, and they are often equipped with some Tau technology in a fashion similar to the Empire's other client races. However, it remains uncommon for these units to go on campaign. Instead, Gue'vesa in the conquering armies of the Tau Empire are most often composed of traitors from the Guard and/or PDF units of the planet they are currently attacking, converted by propaganda (often for decades before actual attack) or (according to Imperial narrators) captured and brainwashed.
