In the aftermath of the [[Imperium]]'s abortive [[Damocles Crusade]] in 742.[[M41]] a 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 [[T'au Empire]] despite being ordered to do 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 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 thisCite Marker End}} 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 were assaulted by either a splinter fleet of [[Hive Fleet Kraken]]{{Fn|1a}} or [[Hive Fleet Gorgon]].{{Fn|9a}} [[Commander Arra'kon]] was the military leader of the Enclaves by this time.{{Fn|9e}} Faced with this new Tyranid threat, Farsight himself subsequently returned to lead eighty [[XV8]] Battlesuit teams to drive the invaders back.{{Fn|1a}} The Enclaves next fought alongside the T'au Empire against the Imperium during the [[Second Agrellan Campaign]].{{Fn|8a}}
