Commerce Protection Fleet

Tau Portal

Commerce Protection Fleets are used in the T'au Empire to "protect" their commerce, but the fleets mostly act as legal privateers.^[1a]

They do so by attacking, crippling and claiming bounties from any non-T'au aligned spacecraft, that enter areas the empire controls. This has made the Fleets the scourge of the Eastern Fringe,^[1a] despite many of their members genuinely believing they are protecting their Empire's trading rights.^[1b]

Known Commerice Protection Fleets

• Akunavash - Led by Commander Memet Poralius^[1b]
