Damocles Gulf Crusade



The Damocles Gulf Crusade was the first military conflict fought between the Imperium of Man and the rapidly expanding Tau Empire in the Ultima Segmentum of the galaxy's Eastern Fringers in the mid-41st Millennium. The conflict essentially ended in a stalemate, as the Imperium was forced to end its military offensive early to deal with the encroaching Tyranid threat while the Tau sought to begin diplomatic negotiations with the Imperium to show humanity the benefits to be had by accepting the Greater Good.
