Making use of the newly acquired starport, General Gauge began to evacuate his forces from Dal'yth. Resistance from the [[Inquisition]] and [[Space Marines]] was overruled by [[Inquisitor Kryptman]], who had an express order from Brimlock to return with all forces. The Tau sensibly realized the time to negotiate was now and the [[Water Caste]] began to negotiate a settlement under parlay. The negotiations were successful and the Imperial fleet withdrew from [[Tau]] space, primarily due to the impending approach of [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]].{{Fn|6}} In the end the Damocles Gulf Crusade had resulted in the Imperium gaining a healthy new respect for the fighting abilities of the Tau while the Tau Empire came to understand the true scale of Humanity's power in a [[Galaxy]] they had previously thought theirs for the taking.{{Fn|4c}}
=== 998.M41 The Revelation of Kauyon ===Two hundred and fifty years after the crusade [[Commander Farsight]] finally achieves mastery of {{Commander Puretide:Purtide's)) way of war. In doing so he comes to the belief that the entire Crusade was an execution of the [[Kauyon ( Patient hunter stratergy) ]] by Aun'va and the Ethereals.{{Fn|7}} They deliberately goaded the Empire Imperium into attacking the Tau before the humans where aware of the full scope of the Tau Empire ; so as to achieve a victory over them that would hearten the Tau in the face of Humanities sprawling galactic dominion. Farsight add this insight to the the secret secrets which, for the greater good, he must keep from the Tau population.
