Glash'ta sept.

Tau Empire Third Phase expansion.

System Glash'ta info.

The system of Glash'ta is a system with 4 desert words. Each one had similar temperature to T'au itself. As the Tau empire entered their third phase expansion these words of the western fringe of Tau space. All of the worlds had rich mining opportunities allowing for production on more of the war machines for the empire. The furthest world Alakan was the first world the Tau settled on but it became more of an outpost world then anything with a large military presence on the world protecting the mines.

The Third word Vallnoran there was a major shock to the Tau fleet as they discovered a major human colony on the world. Fearful of imperial wrath the colony ships waited until the water caste came with a few Gue'vesa members for translations. When they got down to the most major human settlement they where surprised to find out that the world wasn't part of the Imperium or even related to it. But the tech was similar to parts of the Imperium in that they had lasgun's and a few other things but the most noticeable was the anti-gav tanks that they developed. It seemed like the tech was capable of a few things but not space travel.

The second world Delvanarr had rough terrain preventing many mines being made. But Tau earth caste builders used their construction drones to clear areas to make said mines.

The final world Henslon was colonised by a Tau colonial group as the first three planets where for mining or occupied. The colony also had a few humans from Vallnoran come over to settle the world as the human on Vallnoran allowed for Tau settlement's in return for joining the Empire and trade.

Humans of Vallnoran.

The human of Vallnoran where an interesting bunch to the Tau and Gue'vesa. This is mostly because of the fact that even with records of known human colonies recorded non of them expected humans to be found this far outside of human space. This discovery practically told the Tau and Humans how dominant the old Terra empire was.

The humans on Vallnoran where not united however but in a constant state of war. This was due to the tribal culture they had of gods, dress, laws and other such things. The tribes where each technology matched with each other due to spies and other things above all else. Most notably is the lasguns, holograms and anti-grav technology's they had. The tanks they had where similar to Gue'vesa Chimera but without the treads and the lasguns are almost the same as Cadian and Catachan lasguns. But the make depends on which tribe you are with.

When the Tau first arrived with their Gue'vesa troops the humans of the city of Uthway didn't bow down thinking that they where gods instead the tribal elders welcomed them as long-lost brethren. However many of the tribes didn't like this and attacked the tribal allied with the Tau. This allowed the Tau to see how these humans fought. The humans fought in galleria like warfare with tank support. However the attacking tribes where wining and the Ethereal's didn't know what to do. But what turn the tide was when a tribal trooper took a las-bolt for an a visiting Ethereal.

Compelled by this act a bloody war of extermination of the attacking tribes began with Tau and Kroot support. This war lasted for around 10 Terran years before the tribes who fought with the Tau where victorious. Many attacking clans surrendered and pleaded for mercy, the attacking tribes lost their soldiers in return for their lives. The Tau sept of the world's then took the colours of blood red in respect of the humans who lost their lives in the 'Final tribal war'.

Human culture.

The human culture of Vallnoran can be split into tribes. There are 3 major tribes.

Relcon Tribe.

The Relcon's are known for being the first contact tribe for the Tau. They owned the city of Uthway with a delicate touch. The elders of the tribes come from different specialities in order to get a more democratic leadership. The elders are chosen by skill of their speciality like warfare, diplomacy and others. More than not there are always a few seats empty due to lack of skilled people in said areas but there is always a soldier on the elders seat.

Each citizen of Relcon contributes to the tribe in some way those who don't are known as the tribeless and are outcasts who become bandits, slavers or raiders. These tribless are normally criminals of the tribe who are believed to be abandoned by the goddess. But other than that the tribe mostly has an equal society where men and women are treated the same in that anyone can do the job provided they have knowledge about how to do it.

Falla tribe.

The Falla tribe are Amazonian warrior tribe. They have no elder but a queen bloodline of their most finest warrior. The tribe itself lives in the Kall hills, contrary to the name the Kall hills are actually crevices in the ground where the tribe lives and works. Unlike may of the other tribes they don't use Tanks as much but prefer to use sneak attacks on their targets.

They have have a strict hierarchy based on class. Ranging from queen to slave. However the slave part is normally part of their own people and the slave is there to repay a debt but they are not soldiers. While the Tau and other tribes dislike this they ignore it due to the amount of materials they get from the near by mines.

An interesting note almost all of the tribe are women due to the gas' that come from the mining. Because of this the men of the tribe have a harem of a few women but if they take advantage of this they don't live long. They also make fine pilots.

Garack tribe.

Also known as the mechanised tribe. The Garack tribe is known for their mass forges and engineering techniques. They are the most secretive tribe of all, this is mostly due to the fact that they found old colony ships from the dark age of technology which they share with the other tribes but refuse to give the ships where about.

They work close to the earth caste in order to build more war machines to defend their worlds from aggressors. Interestingly they tend to do experimentation behind the earth caste's back. While this is frowned apon but is forgiven due to discoveries that they make.

Religion.

The main religion of the tribes beside the Greater good is the goddess of nature Gaia. While many religions revolve around male gods the tribes worship a female god. The reason isn't too well know but it is known that Gaia is the mother of the tribes. While each tribe worship her in different ways they, for the most part, worship her.

Glash'ta military.

The Glash'ta military is an interesting one. This is mostly due to the friendship between the Tau and the native Gue'vesa. Because of this many in the Tau and Gue'vesa share culture. This can be seen as the Gue'vesa have sept markings on their armour and on their skin.

The standard uniform of the Tau is the standard armour but leaders have an extra shoulder pad and have hoods and the lower part of trench coats. The human uniform is the uniform of Cadian make with the breastplate of Tau make but enlarged to fit humans. And like the tau they have a shoulder pad and leaders have two on both as well as enlarged Tau helmets and hoods and the lower part of a trench coat. It is also common for two human in a squad to have either a pulse carbine or pulse rifle as a gift from the Tau.

The Glash'ta have a large supply of crisis and broadside battle suits as they are much better for the combat they do.
