The '''Zeist Campaign''' was a battle between the [[Imperium]] and the [[T'au]].

Tau expansionist activities had, in [[M41|997.M41]], begun to encroach on Imperial worlds, even annexing them on occasion. By 999, [[planetary governor]]s were calling for massive reinforcements to push back the T'au forces, but with the attacks of [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]] and an increase in the attacks from the [[Maelstrom]], few were able to respond. One who could however, was [[Marneus Augustus Calgar|Marneus Calgar]]. He dispatched the [[Ultramarines]] [[2nd Company (Ultramarines)|2nd company]] to the [[Zeist Sector]] to draw a line through which the T'au would not be able to pass. Also, Calgar sent requests to other nearby [[chapter]]s for further assistance.{{Fn|1}}

It was later recognized that the T'au retreat in this campaign was only a trick from the famous [[Commander Shadowsun]], who claimed her victory elsewhere where Imperial forces were weakened at that moment.{{Fn|2}}
