History
He is the son of Urbit Poralius, who once ruled the Imperial Eastern Fringe world, Moracre. However Memet left his Homeworld, after he grew tired of waiting for his father to die, so he could become Moracre's next Planetary Governor. His journey led Memet to make contact with the emergent T'au Empire and he made many illicit deals with the Xenos. The arraignment he developed with the T'au, later allowed Memet to found a trade route between the Empire and Moracre. The immense amount of wealth he gained from selling the Xenos' goods, allowed Memet to fund a rebellion that overthrew his father's rule of their Homeworld. Memet then personally killed Urbit and as his father's blood was still fresh on his hands, he became Moracre's new Planetary Governor. Now fully in control of his Homeworld, Memet began an open allegiance with the T'au Empire.[1]
The Xenos were eager to exploit their relationship with Moracre and this allowed the world to prosper for sometime. However, Memet's allegiance with the T'au Empire was eventually discovered by the Ecclesiarchy. This was as the Imperium was preparing to launch the Damocles Crusade against the T'au and the Ecclesiarchy decided to make an example of Moracre. Doing so, would show the Imperium's population what happens to those who chose the Xenos over their fellow Humans. Battlefleet Artemis was dispatched to not only carry out this task, but to also destroy the trade route that existed between the T'au Empire and Moracre as well. The Battlefleet then severed the links that made up the route and in doing so, it put an end to the source of Memet's wealth. With that done, Artemis attacked Moracre and deployed almost three dozen Astra Militarum Regiments to its surface. Though Memet managed to escape to the T'au Empire, Moracre fell to the Imperium.[1]
The former Planetary Governor then joined the T'au and eventually rose to become the Gue'vesa Commander of the Akunavash Commerce Protection Fleet. Memet has fully embraced his new role and the Akunavash has become the most notorious of the Protection fleets. But despite his success, the exile still seeks vengeance against the Imperium for his downfall. The Commander now frequently brings his fleet within the Imperium's borders and launches attacks on its population, at the slightest hint of danger.[1]
