Na'jing Cadre

The Na'jing Cadre is a Fire Warrior Cadre created in a thread about Tau (specifically female) in Rogue Trader where an Anon got bored, asked other anons to help roll a Tau Cadre using the Tau Cadre Creation Tables. The results were basically 'Tau Iron Warriors' in the end with what was given from the rolls. Named after the famous event that 'never happened', The Nanjing Massacre. [[1]]

Fluff

Tau Siege Experts from the 4th Sphere of Expansion that are experts on Urban Warfare, by removing the 'Urban' part. No negotiation or prisoners or surrender, Auxiliary are meatshields to draw the enemy into the firing range, and will even purge their own colonies if needed from their new 'many armed savior'. They also have no recorded proof of ever doing this and will constantly deny having any involvement in the matter despite other reports saying so.

>The rediscovery of the Na'jing Cadre was met with great horror as the 5th Sphere of Expansion discovered them as one of the few remaining on the Nem'yar Atoll. Despite being shaken from their entrapment in the Warp, they still believe in the Greater Good and work to defend the Startide Nexus from falling into the hands of Chaos.

>However, they have taken to specializing in heavy siege tactics to destroy enemy strongholds and cities in a scorched earth like policy, refusing to let the Water-caste attempt to negotiate. They seek to cleanse Imperial and T'au cities alike from the touch of the Death Guard, those that worship the emporer and a new 'heratical' belief of a many armed god that has spread amongst other Fourth Sphere Cadre's.

>What is worse, Besides the use of Vespid as a defensive mobile guard unit to defend their firing lines, Most Auxillary are used in suicidal attacks to draw enemy forces into bombarding range.

>In the early days of expansion, they have grown great ire from the Inquisition for these 'savage' tactics against the Imperium for their wholesale slaughter of worlds over the usual diplomatic approach that the T'au were known to send. However, the state of the Imperium has put those grudges out of place with the rising tide of Chaos.

>They have since been revoked of their use of auxiliaries but have been known to convince other cadre's to sacrifice others for the sake of the 'Greater Good'

>Currently led by "Shas'O Pur'ta Rabo Er'oge", a barbaric and hot blooded Fire Caste commander whose time on the frontier have left him a bitter warrior.

>Reports written about the Na'jing Cadre have seem to constantly exclude prisoner execution and auxillary suicide despite being one of the more famed to do it when they served in 'The Massacre of the Dul'un Lakes' and the 'Eight Days of Infamy'. Anyone associated to the Na'jing Cadre also deny any teamkilling of any kind.

>They are known to make more use out of Battlesuits and Fire Warriors to set up artillery positions to wholesale clear areas and leaving nothing but rubble, willing to fire on allied cadre's if it means denying the enemy ground.

>Their efforts continue on with the Fifth Sphere of Expansion, but many feel their time is limited before they are brought before the Ethereal's for judgement and swift death.
