Description

The Kor’vattra is crewed by the Air caste since the earliest days of the First Sphere of Expansion and were given high priority by the Ethereal. These vessels formed the basis for the first wars of expansion and were very successful that is till they encountered Orks. The Tau tried to negotiate with them, but after the massacre of the delegates. The Orks posed a major problem, Ork ships were faster, better shielded and more heavily armed, to counter the numerous Ork escorts, they developed the Orca gunship. The Tau were slow to build a gravitic drive with sufficient power for warp drives small enough to create an independent escort, so they would travel inside the a larger vessels gravitic sheath over long distances, this combined with the introduction of super-heavy Ion cannons and Barracuda fighter help restore the balance. The campaign of Cleansing was fought between 606 to 792.M38 it was the first prolong campaign, initially the Tau suffered many defeats but were ultimately able to eradicate the Greenskins thanks to the refinement of pulse rifle.
