History
The Earth Caste of Fal'shia are renowned for their artisans and problem-solving. A good number of the Tau Empire's technical innovations were developed on this Sept.[3][4] Fal'shia is also known to have vast quantities of munitions factories.[6]
Forces of this Sept were involved in the Kaurava Crusade, commanded by Or'es'Ka.[1]
The famed hero Commander O’Shi’ur was killed fighting in the battle to save Fal'shia from a Tyranid invasion.[2]
Fire Caste warriors from this Sept are often the first to try out prototype armour, weapons and system upgrades, perceiving this as a great honor despite the casualties and malfunctions.[5a] They are more rerstrained and cerebral then warriors from other Septs.[5b]
