Akunavash

Tau Portal

The Akunavash is one of the T'au Empire's most notorious Commerce Protection Fleet, which is led by the Gue'vesa Commander Memet Poralius.^[1]

Its name comes from a crude title, used by one of the T'au Empire's less eloquent races. Many of these Xenos serve in the Akunavash Fleet, alongside Gue'vesa that have been exiled from the Imperium. This includes their Commander Poralius, who was once the Planetary Governor of Moracre, until his secret trade alliance with the T'au was discovered. Once the Imperium learned of his betrayal, Moracre was attacked by Battlefleet Artemis. Though Poralius escaped to the T'au Empire, his Homeworld was lost to him and the Commander has sought vengeance ever since. Poralius now frequently brings the Akunavash Fleet within the Imperium's borders and launches attacks on its population, at the slightest hint of danger.^[1]
