Altair Enclave

Summary

The Taudar are an artificial xeno race in the Imperium Asunder setting, a fan remake of the warhammer 40 000 history.

The Taudar are the result of the Ethereal's undying will to see their people survive, and unify the galaxy under The Greater Good, 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 world, 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.
