Tactica Aeronautica was the only supplement released for the 2006' version of the Aeronautica Imperialis game, and introduced new aircraft, some additional variants for craft from the original game, plus army specific upgrades. The main addition to the game introduced by this book was an expansion of the original campaign system and came with a lengthy narrative of an aerial war fought between the Imperial Navy and the Tau on Typha-IV

Raid on Supply Base Theta-Nine-Four is written in the same style as the regular White Dwarf Battle Reports and is based on an engagement between the Tau and the Imperial Navy during the Taros Campaign.
