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 Third Sphere Expansion, formed five colonies in a halo around the original 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 XV22 Stealth Battlesuit into battle incorporating both a stealth generator and a jump pack. She is accompanied by a Command-link Drone and 2 Shield Drones and is armed with dual Fusion Blasters which enable her to take on enemy heavy armour, she also carries a Bonding Knife.
