The '''Third Phase Expansion''' began with the [[Nimbosa Crusade|War of Nimbosa]] (992.[[M41]]) under [[O'var|Commander Brightsword]], but was halted after Brightsword was recalled to T'au, presumably to account for his cruel conduct. Nimbosa eventually fell to the combined might of several Space Marine chapters combined with the might of the Imperial Guard and Navy. The third phase continued under the command of [[O'Shaserra|Commander Shadowsun]] towards the end of the 990's of M41 and resulted in gaining 5 colonies for the Tau.Recently conquered and colonized, these colonies have yet to form their own identidiesidentities.
