When the Imperial fleet reached the [[Tau Empire#Tau Septs|sept]] of [[Dal'yth]], however, the crusade ground to a bloody stalemate as the formidable numbers and high technology of the [[Tau]] and their [[Kroot]] allies thwarted every attempt to capture the system. Many months of terrible fighting ensued with nothing gained on either side. By 742.[[M41]] Imperial Commanders eventually agreed to requests from the Water Caste for peace talks.
The negotiations were successful and the Imperial fleet withdrew from [[Tau]] space, primarily due to the impending approach of hive fleet Hive Fleet [[Behemoth]]. Or, depending on the source, the crusade was stopped in 988.M41 due to the emergent threat of Hive Fleet [[Kraken]]<sup>6</sup>.
