The '''{{PAGENAME}}Second Agrellan Campaign''', also known as the '''Cleansing of Agrellan''' or the '''Second Battle of Mu'Gulath Bay''', was a major [[Imperial]] offensive launched against the [[Tau Empire]] in the closing years of [[M41]].{{Fn|1}}

The Mechanicus' purge of the space surrounding Mu'Gulath Bay had dire strategic consequences of the Tau. Their primary route to continue the [[Third Sphere of Expansion]] was now closed, forcing them to launch a [[Fourth Sphere of Expansion|New Sphere]] through unconventional means.{{Fn|2}}
