[[Image: O'Shaserra3.jpg|thumb|right| Commander Shadowsun]]'''Commander Shadowsun''', also known as ''O'Shaserra'', is the current [[Tau]] supreme commander. She was selected to replace the former commander, [[Commander Farsight]]. Shadowsun seems to be a more steadfast leader, more suited to the job of overseeing the Third Sphere Expansion. It was [[Aun'Va]] who selected Shadowsun, who was already an accomplished warrior from the deserts and jungles of the [[K'resh Expansion]], where finally the [[Orks]] were contained and destroyed. She led several raids against a [[Tyranid]] splinter fleet and managed to do so much damage to the hive ships that the Tau fleet was able to fully engage the Tyranid fleet, without losing any ships.

Under her leadership, the Tau Empire has again grown into the [[Tau Empire#Third Phase Expansion|Third Sphere Expansion]], formed five colonies in a halo around the original [[Tau Empire#Tau Septs|Sept]] worlds, including in the [[Damocles Gulf]], [[Perdus Rift]] and much further afield. This success was due in part to the Imperium being distracted elsewhere and the Tyranids and Orks being temporarily contained.

Commander Shadowsun wears an [[Battlesuit#XV22 Stealth Battlesuit|XV22 Stealth Battlesuit]] into battle incorporating both a stealth generator and a jump pack. She is accompanied by a [[Drone#Command-link Drones|Command-link Drone]] and 2 [[Drone#Shield Drones|Shield Drones]] and is armed with dual [[Fusion Blaster]]s which enable her to take on enemy heavy armour, she also carries a [[Bonding Knife]].
