Despite the controversy surrounding Fourth Sphere Tau, the Fifth Sphere has continued at a formidable pace. In the span of several months several planets were occupied and transformed into thriving colonies.{{Fn|1}} Most of the expansion is taking place from the [[Nem'yar Atoll]], far to the north of the Tau Empire proper.{{Fn|3}} Ongoing warzones are located at the [[Chalnath Expanse]]{{Fn|2d}}, [[Haephos Containment|Haephos]]{{Fn|2c}}, [[Razing of Astorgius|Astorgius]]{{Fn|2b}}, [[Riatov]]{{Fn|3}}, and [[Vorotheion Uprising|Vorotheion]].{{Fn|2c}}
Ultimately, the [[Battle of the Startide Nexus]] against the [[Death Guard]] mauled the Fifth Spehre Sphere fleet, slowing its momentum. Though it is still expanding and capturing new territory, a [[Sixth Sphere of Expansion|Sixth Sphere]] is already being planned.{{Fn|4}}
