Arkunasha War

This article is about the conflict; for the short story, see The Arkunasha War (Short Story). |
The Arkunasha War was waged in M41 by the Tau Empire.
In the aftermath of the Damocles Crusade the Tau consolidated their grip over worlds they had wrested from the Imperium's control. Commander O'Shovah rose to power as the preeminent Fire Caste leader during this period, as he led the Tau to great victories on Arkunasha when the newly established colony was threatened by Orks.
In the campaign, O'Shovah led Fire Warriors in a masterful defense against many times their own number, using immense canyons and gullies crisscrossing the desert to maximum effect. O'Shovah sent the Ork invaders to chase shadows, constantly boxing off and destroying isolated Greenskin elements. It is here that he earned his famous title Farsight.[1]
