Vior'los, the Capital of the Altair Enclave.

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.

Grim Sci-Fi Space Capitalists

Yep. They are no longer Naive Weeaaboo Space Communists.

History

The faction to receive so much criticism it was rewritten and deleted three and a half times. This is the current iteration.

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.

Current Events

Basically all of the Altair Enclave's history falls under this category, but by their standards:

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.

Warfare

Military

An ordinary Star Warrior! For some reason their foot soldiers wear cloaks.

The Firestorm

The Firestorm is the Enclave's army. A large amount of them are from the House of Shas, though not all.

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.

High Command

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

Star Warrior Program

The Star Warrior Program attempts to utilize Space Marine genetic modifications using Dynamic Bioneural Capacitators to create T'au, Eldar, and other species space marines, known as Star Warriors.

Wars and Campaigns

The Altair Enclave uses sabotage and infiltration, as well as stealth to sabotage enemies. Basically the Alpha Legion.

Altair War of Founding

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.

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.

Physiology

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.

Society

Capitalist Totalitarian Military Dictatorship! That advises the advancement of science, so long as it helps the state and military! If it reveals bad things about the state, it is punished! Like in the ongoing Altair Civil War! BIG BROTHER IS ALWAYS WATCHING!

Psykers

The leaders of the Enclave are all psykers. Psykers are very much respected and revered and elevated to higher positions in society.

Technology

Herein lies technobabble.

Hyper-Dimensional Tachyon Shifter

Basically the Time Stone from the MCU, but powered by science.

Multiphasic Energy Polarizer

Laser weapons, plasma explosion ensues when the laser hits the target. Basically Laser Bolters. Yep. Utilized as standard-issue for all Altair soldiers, with the exception of Star Warriors, who are equipped with standard bolt weapons.

Modular Resonance Actuator

Guns that use sound vibrations to destabilize matter and disfigure targets! Yep, sound meltas!

Multispectrum Plasma Projector

Basically flamers that use plasma instead of fire. They also give the effect of EMPs! If left uncontrolled they can consume and destroy the entire continent.

Multispectrum Plasma Grenades

Basically grenades using plasma, also do EMP stuff. Come in the fragmentation and anti-tank versions. Both are standard issue.

Photonic Variance Transducer

A device used to teleport objects via photon entanglement.

Wave Resonance Shifter

Cloaking tech, used by the Enclave to spy on the Dark Imperium.

Dynamic Bioneural Capacitator

Used to replicate biological life forms. Has been utilized to create super-soldiers and put spies in the Eyes of the Warmaster as well as other members of the Dark Imperium.
