Changes

With a faster fleet and armies bolstered by new [[Kroot]] allies, the [[Ethereal]] Supreme, [[Aun'Wei]], declared a new phase of expansion ready. The campaign was launched from each of the new [[Sept]]s established during the [[First Sphere of Expansion]]. It was during this time that [[Commander Puretide]] achieved legendary fame for the Tau, scoring victories that led to the establishment of Septs such as [[Tash'var]] and [[Elsy'eir]]. Puretide went on to thwart an [[Ork]] invasion that threatened [[Au'taal]]. The last breakthrough of the Second Sphere of Expansion was the successful crossing of the [[Damocles Gulf]], something that led to first contact with the [[Imperium]]. The destructive wars with [[Human|Humanity]] that followed were unlike anything the Tau had experienced and brought an end to the Second Sphere of Expansion.{{Fn|1}}
