A disciple of [[Commander Shadowsun]], Surestrike's first known major command was destroying survivors of [[Mu'gulath Bay]] who sought to defect to the [[Farsight Enclaves]].{{Fn|1a}}
Shadowsun came to recommended Surestrike to command the [[Fourth Sphere of Expansion]]. However, disaster struck due to an overload of the fleet's [[AL-38 Slipstream Module]]s, creating a wormhole that threw the expedition across much of the [[galaxy]]. Lost in a [[Warp|nightmarish alternate dimension]] for an unclear period of time, Surestrike's fleet eventually re-emerged into [[Materium|realspace]] and immediately attempted to re-contact the [[Tau Empire]]. His forces were eventually successful, and when the [[Fifth Sphere of Expansion]] re-emerged at the other side of the [[Startide Nexus]], he greeted Shadowsun personally to the new Tau bastion in the heart of [[Imperial]] space.{{Fn|1b}} The experience within the Warp has left Surestrike jaded and bitter. He will break the Tau taboo by subtly criticizing [[Ethereal]]s, and has expressed open racism towards [[Tau Auxiliaries]], blaming them for the catastrophe that befell the 4th Sphere.{{Fn|2a}}
