The Taudar are the result of the Ethereals undying will to see their people survive, and unify the galaxy under The Greater Good,
[[File:Taudar.jpg|350px|right|thumb|Vior'los, the Capital of the Altair Enclave.]]
the doctrine of their God of Order. Realizing their race was about to end, despite their pheromone mind control, they made in
secret a pact with the Dark Eldar leaders of Commorragh, even attracting the attention of the great Asdrubael Vect himself. The Ethereals
were to supply the Dark Eldar with their Craftworld brethren, and in return, a new warrior race would be made for them, an unholy
union of Tau and Eldar. The experiments were eventually a success, but by then, the Tau Empire had alreay fallen, and all of the Ethereals
were dead and gone, along with their God of Order. Being too interested in observing the effectiveness of this new warrior breed, the
Dark Eldar scientists released the Eldar-Tau crossbreed into the Galaxy, on the farthest Eastern fringe, so no-one would know but them.
Opportunities of pain and pleasure would be plenty, but if this new race failed in their purpose, the defeat of the Ethereals and their plan
would be even sweeter. Unfortunately, the new Taudar seemed to do rather well, and through mass-cloning, established a functioning society
at an alarming rate, naming it the Taudar Enclave.


==Timeline History==
The '''Altair Enclave''' is what remains of the T'au Empire, founded by Shas'O Vior'los Altairre, the son of Commander Farsight and the first T'au [[psyker]]. They are a T'au version of the [[Imperium of Man]]. They are actually grimdark, unlike what they are remnants of.
• The Tau Empire rises in Ultima Segmentum.


• A secret pact is made between Dark Eldar Asdrubael Vect and the Ethereals in Commorragh.
==Grim Sci-Fi Space Capitalists==
Yep. They are no longer Naive Weeaaboo Space Communists.


• The Tau Empire falls in Ultima Segmentum.
==History==
The faction to receive so much criticism it was [[Wat|rewritten and deleted three and a half times]]. This is the current iteration.


• The first Eldar-Tau crossbreed is successfully created.
===Founding of the Enclave===
After the events of the Damocles Gulf crusade between the T'au and the Crusader States in the area, Commander Farsight, a famous and loyal T'au Commander, fled the Empire and established the Farsight Enclaves, and really he was only fighting to keep his race alive. He was quickly pursued by the Imperium Minoris and several other Crusader States, but the fact that they were warring with several other Crusader States and the assistance of the Kor Protectorate, Farsight was able to escape to the nearby, yet overall insignificant planet of Vior'Los. A warp storm soon emerged in the area, cutting the Enclaves off from literally everywhere, and would not subside until much later. Much later, in 935.M41, the first T'au psyker, Farsight's son, Shas'O Vior'los Altairre, started a rebellion in the Farsight Enclaves and caused its destruction.


• The Taudar Enclave is founded  in secret, beyond the Eastern Fringe.
===Current Events===
Basically all of the Altair Enclave's history falls under this category, but by their standards:


• The Taudar Enclave finds several dormant Necron Tomb Worlds (Fringeworlds)
====Altair Civil War====
It started in 094.M42. It was started by the Firestorm General Puresight. He freed the slave house of Aun and fractured the Enclave in half. The civil war was sparked when General Puresight discovered that psykers were more vulnerable to falling to [[Chaos]] than ordinary people, and thus the House of Altair's propaganda stating that psykers were inherently superior and more fit to lead was found to be false. He also saw how the Enclave was treating its people.


• The Taudar Enclave studies and learns many of the secrets behind Necron technology.
==Warfare==


• The Taudar Enclave begins military expansion beyond the Galaxy, having unified large parts of Necron, Tau, and Eldar technology.
===Military===
[[File:AltairStarWarrior.jpg|350px|right|thumb|An ordinary Star Warrior! For some reason their foot soldiers wear cloaks.]]


• The Taudar Enclave encounters The Great Devourer and is locked in a perpetual war with Tyranid Hive Fleets.
====The Firestorm====
The Firestorm is the Enclave's army. A large amount of them are from the House of Shas, though not all.


• Current Day
====The Airblaze====
The Airblaze is the Enclave's navy and air force. A large amount of them are from the House of Kor, though not all.


==Taudar Physiology==
====High Command====
High Command is made entirely of the House of Altair. Most of them are psykers, though not all.


The Taudar, or Taldari, as they call themselves, are grey-blue skinned bipedal creatures, with no orificies except their golden eyes, but can breathe through their pores
====Star Warrior Program====
in most atmospheres and even under water. They do not eat like other races, but instead extract nutritions from whatever

organic material touches their skin (even molecules in the air), including sunlight, and so possess a particularly advanced form of photosynthesis. They have two, two-digit digitigrade legs
and manipulate objects with two, four digit hands, two of which are opposable, like thumbs. They stand about 7 feet tall,
weigh in about 200 pounds, and are a hermaphroditic mono-sex species with an expected lifespan of about 300 Earth years. In addition,
they are all psychic blanks, and have nearly the best eyesight among all the main races in the Galaxy.


==Taudar Technology==
===Wars and Campaigns===
The Altair Enclave uses sabotage and infiltration, as well as stealth to sabotage enemies. Basically the Alpha Legion.


The Taudar technology is a mix of Tau, (Dark) Eldar and even Necron technology. By a stroke of luck, they managed to find several dormant, and malfunctioning,

In 034.M42, the first T'au psyker, Farsight's son, Shas'O Vior'los Altairre, started a rebellion in the Farsight Enclaves and caused its destruction. The newly founded Altair Enclave soon conquered much of the nearby planets which had also been enveloped in the warp storm, and the Altair Enclave grew. The warp storm soon subsided, and the Altair Enclave would go on to create the Star Warriors. They also managed to somehow put spies in the Eyes of the Warmaster.
and so while they had much valuable Necron technology in terms of workers and production, there was little directly related to military exploits, and so were
laregely undefended Tomb Worlds, possibly entirely forgotten about. The Taudar, being a freak of nature, are natural psychic blanks (they possess something
akin to the Pariah gene) and while they are perfectly capable of understanding psychic-based technology, cannot use it effectively themselves. As such,
they are mostly influenced by their Tau heritage, which was given to them in the form of Data Banks by the Dark Eldar scientists upon release into the  
Easter Fringe, but have vast knowledge of (Dark) Eldar and Necron technology, using whatever tidbits seem appropriate.


==Taudar Society==
====Altair Civil War====
It started in 094.M42. It was started by the Firestorm General Puresight. He freed the slave house of Aun and fractured the Enclave in half. The civil war was sparked when General Puresight discovered that psykers were more vulnerable to falling to [[Chaos]] than ordinary people, and thus the House of Altair's propaganda stating that psykers were inherently superior and more fit to lead was found to be false. He also saw how the Enclave was treating its people.


The Taudar society is heavily influenced by their backstory. They are perfectly aware of what they are, a mass-cloned unholy breeding experiment, but enjoy many
===Current Events===
benefits of this as well, such as not having to deal with any cultural divisions based on sex, skincolor, status etc., because they are all largely the same.
Basically all of the Altair Enclave's history falls under this category, but by their standards:
They have no deities to speak of, and did not follow any race-wide doctrines like the Greater Good/Imperial Truth etc., were not united by any particular common purpose,
but simply stood together because they were alone, and the only one of their kind... Until they met The Great Devourer.


In the initial formings of their society, there was no sense of purpose, no direction, no reason for their existence, since the Tau Empire had already fallen.  
====Altair Civil War====
All that mattered was survival, and even barely, because their genetic superiority made this an easy task almost anywhere in the universe, based on environmental factors alone.  
It started in 094.M42. It was started by the Firestorm General Puresight. He freed the slave house of Aun and fractured the Enclave in half. The civil war was sparked when General Puresight discovered that psykers were more vulnerable to falling to [[Chaos]] than ordinary people, and thus the House of Altair's propaganda stating that psykers were inherently superior and more fit to lead was found to be false. He also saw how the Enclave was treating its people.
However, having finished studying the Data Banks and learning part of the history of the Universe (from the Eldar point of view), at least partly, since the Dark Eldar scientists were
unwilling to disclose it all, decided that the number one threat to them would be the forces of Chaos, and the cruel gods of the Warp. However, not long after,
they discovered they were also psychic blanks, and so were largely guarded against the perils of the Warp as well. Feeling reasonably safe,
they thus decided to devote themselves to esoteric and scientific fields. Perhaps it was their artificially constructed tendency to be warriors which influenced them
to assess all known threats first, before deciding to build any culture worth speaking of.


Skipping agricultural developments entirely, and not having to worry about supply lines, the Taudar made technological advancements at an incredible pace, and expanded rapidly beyond

[[T'au]]. The T'au are the dominant species in the Enclave, though a number of changes are apparent. They no longer have castes, what were the castes are now the Three Lesser Houses, after the House of Por was made a slave house for their use of diplomacy. The House of Altair, the One Greater House, are the rulers. The Ethereals, formerly the House of Aun, are all slaves utilized by the Enclave for hard labor, suffering the same fate as the House of Por. They now have psykers, which rule them, and they are all ~6 ft tall. A whole foot taller.


==Beyond the Galaxy==
==Society==
With such a free spirited society, an anbundance of independent thinkers, and no industry of war to feed, (and an incredible head-start), it was not long until the Taudar discovered a way of superluminal space travel, which did not rely on warp jumps. It was more by luck than anything of course, since it would never have been possible without free access to the unguarded Necron Tomb Worlds in their vicinity. Many of the Taudar then caught the idea to go beyond the Galaxy, to explore different worlds entirely, unknown to most.

There they found many beautiful star constellations and planets, in other galaxies, and inbetween, learned the secrets of the comsmic web binding the galaxies together: dark energy and dark matter. However, one thing worried them somewhat. There was almost no other intelligent creatures anywhere.
