In the aftermath of the [[Imperium]]'s abortive [[Damocles Crusade]] in 742.[[M41]] a [[Tau]] T'au [[Fire Caste]] Commander, [[O'Shovah|Shas'o Viorla Shovah Kais Montyr]] (perhaps better known to [[Imperial]]s as Commander Farsight), led an expeditionary force to reclaim worlds lost to the Imperium. Battling [[Ork]] forces under [[Grog Ironteef]], Farsight chased the Greenskins to [[Arthas Moloch]] and encountered a terrifying new foe there that rattled him to the core. In the aftermath of the incident on Arthas Moloch, Farsight refused to return to the [[Tau T'au Empire]] despite being ordered todo so.{{Fn|2a}}

Instead, he consolidated the worlds he had already captured and established a series of fortified outposts in the [[Forbidden Zone]]. As more information has come to light , the actions of Commander Farsight have become the a source of grave concern for certain members of the [[Inquisition]] who perceive a distinct threat to the Divine Rule of the [[Emperor of Mankind]].{{cite this}} Shortly after setting the foundations of the Farsight Enclaves, O'Shovah himself went into a self-imposed exile to wander the wastes of [[Vior'los]].{{Fn|6}}

In 997.[[M41]], the Farsight enclaves Enclaves were assaulted by a splinter fleet of [[Hive Fleet Kraken]]. Farsight himself apparently returned to lead eighty [[XV8]] Battlesuit teams to drive the invaders back.{{Fn|1a}} The Enclaves next fought alongside the Tau T'au Empire against the [[Imperium]] during the [[Second Agrellan Campaign]].{{Fn|8a}}

Recently, the Farsight Enclaves had found itself [[Invasion of the Farsight Enclaves|besieged]] by a large [[Ork]] [[Waaagh!]] led by the infamous [[Warboss]] [[Nazdreg]].{{Fn|4}} Farsight dealt with Nazdreg on [[Dregrokk]], but the Enclaves ' armies were soon drawn into the [[Arks of Omen Campaign]].{{Fn|7}}
