abstract	Taros was an Imperial frontier Mining World in the Eastern Fringe of the Segmentum Ultima and Tau Water Caste diplomats had long been in contact with its Imperial Planetary Governor, trading luxury goods for the planet’s rare heavy metal strategic mineral resources. Both sides had benefited from the arrangement, but it was just the first step in the Tau’s long term plan to eventually incorporate the planet into their expanding Empire. When the Planetary Governor’s illegal contact with the Tau was discovered by the Administratum in the course of a desire to speed up Imperial mining operation to increase industrial production in preparation for the defence of the Cadian Gate during Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade, the Imperium's response was swift and powerful. A Space Marine strike forcecomprising a reinforced company of the Avening Sons Chapter was dispatched to remove the governor from power and execute him, thus sending a strong message to the encroaching Tau that the Imperium would fight to keep Taros. Facing execution for their crimes, the Planetary Governor and the world's mine owning aristocracy turned to the Tau as an ally. Negotiations saw Tau forces invited onto Taros to protect the planet and Shas'O R'myr led the first secret landings. His forces engaged the Avenging Sons Space Marines who arrived on the world using drop pods from their strike cruiser in orbit and after fierce fighting around the governor’s palace drove them from the planet because of their superior numbers. Following this victory,R'myr moved against the governor himself, removing him from power and quickly disarming his Tarosin Planetary Defence Forces. The Tau commander also ordered the desert planet’s Adeptus Arbites precinct surrounded and destroyed. The planet was now under the martial rule of the Tau and the Imperium again responded, launching a large army comprised of Tallarn Imperial Guard Regiments against the Tau defenders in a counter-invasion. The fighting on Taros was fierce. For 100 days the Tau fought a mobile, defensive campaign across Taros' savage deserts. Masterminded by R’myr the Imperial Guard forces were worn down, broken and eventually forced to evacuate the planet with heavy losses, allowing the Tau Empire to bribng the Greater Good to yet another strategically important world.
