The T'au Empire is a proud and mighty federation of planets, a union of many races under the banner of a single purpose, a shared goal known as the Greater Good. They have expanded into the galaxy, seeking new worlds to convert to their superior philosophy of self-sacrifice and collectivism. So far they have had great success and little resistance, but they will not remain unopposed for long. A monster has slumbered in the darkness of the space beyond their star charts, a massive empire that dwarfs the T'au in size and power, the Imperium of Man. In their quest for expansion they have awoken the beast, and now it is upon them with a force large enough to crush their fledgling empire once and for all. Can the T'au survive the wrath of the Imperium, or will the Greater Good perish in the wake of their own destruction?

Renegade (Aquila, Book 3)
[Sequel to 'Imperium'] Following the successful defense of Alamarri and the sudden withdrawal of Hepharion's Chaos Marines, Caius returned to Macragge in time to see the return of his Primarch and receive a new mission from his Captain: find Hepharion and bring him down, no matter the cost, and chase down and secure the remains of the ancient Titan project. At first, resources seem scarce with the Black Crusade taking much of the attention and firepower of the Ultramarines. However, help comes in an unexpected form when an Inquisitor's acolyte appears with an unexpected offer for the men of the Twentieth. Across the stars, Bahad is called before the Council of Farseers of his Craftworld and desperately pleads his case for his alliance with Caius and his hunt for Hepharion. However, this falls on deaf ears when the Craftworld, concerned about his continued association with the Imperium, orders him into a temporary arrest to await further judgment. While in isolation, plagued by his visions of what shall happen without his involvement, he, too, receives an unexpected visitor: a Harlequin Solitaire with a keen interest on seeing him reunited with his Ultramarine. As the two friends journey forth, their paths lead them to one another once again and to the planet of Cosperan, home to a Black Templar Crusade and the most recent spot where Hepharion's Warband was spotted. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

The Aegis Vow: Sovereign Arbiter
He was the only son of the Emperor who dared to call the Imperium a failure. Primarch Valerius was lost to the annals of history, a forgotten relic of the Great Crusade. Unlike his zealous brothers, Valerius was not ruled by faith or fury, but by one absolute law: The Doctrine of Necessary Utility. When the Sovereign Arbiter of Humanity's Survival returns, he finds the Imperium crippled by superstition, bureaucracy, and a war fought with obsolete doctrine. The revered Codex Astartes is merely a roadmap to failure, and the High Lords are worse than any Xenos threat. Valerius refuses to lead a rebellion. Instead, he begins a surgical, systematic crusade to prove that the only path to survival is absolute, ruthless efficiency. He builds the Aegis Imperium, unites the fragmented Space Marine Chapters under his cold, logical command, and forces Roboute Guilliman to yield to a new form of governance. His purpose is singular, and his final vow is the most dangerous of all: to gather forbidden relics, breach Holy Terra, and attempt the impossible-to restore his broken father on the Golden Throne. A Primarch's logic will either save humanity or shatter it forever. Experience the saga of the Primarch who broke every rule of the 41st Millennium to fulfill the Final Vow.
The Forge of Unity (Book 1)
Book 1 In the age of the Great Crusade, when the Emperor's light sought to pierce the endless dark, there was one who rose among the stars with a vision of unity and strength. He was Gaius Aurelius Regulus, the Primarch of the Second Legion, the Argent Eagles, forged by fate to bring order to chaos and peace to the shattered realms of Man. His was the voice of reason amid the clamor of war, his blade the instrument of Imperial justice. From the ashes of fractured worlds, he wove alliances; from the ruins of defiance, he built empires. Yet even as his conquests brought glory to the Imperium, shadows gathered around him. For in the Imperium of Man, loyalty is both a virtue and a burden, and the price of unity is often paid in blood. As the tides of betrayal and ambition rise, Regulus must confront the eternal question: does the dream of order justify the cost of sacrifice? In the crucible of war, his Legion will stand as a testament to the indomitable will of humanity-or as a warning to those who would place hope in fragile bonds of trust. So begins the tale of the Second Legion: warriors, builders, and unifiers, born to soar above the stars as Argent Eagles. Their triumphs are written in fire, their legacy etched in shadow. For in the grim darkness of the 31st Millennium, even the noblest ideals can be shattered by the unyielding march of fate.Complete

Gate: Thus the Bundeswehr strikes against tyranny
The world of Aurelia was once a small unimpressive world, double the size, width and mass of Terra, but keeping the same gravital pull of our blue planet. But, tyrannical eyes have set upon the small principality of Matador. Once a grand empire that was both respected and feared amongst its adversaries, stretching from one continental side to the other, conquering and subjugating tens of thousands of people and demi-humans, even the High Elfs, it fell due an unknown power appearing from nowhere, with many claiming them to the worst enemy they had ever faced, worse than the rumored Demons in the Unknown, foggy continent. This unknown force, called the infamous "Grey/Black men", clad in two Lightnings and death skull emblems, only made the life of many sub-humans worse, killing dozens per minute or even seconds. Only through the sheer tenacity and change of situation back home, forced the unknown superior military to conceded and retreat back, leaving tales of destruction and heresy back in this now peaceful world. One hundred years later, the newly emerged Superpower of Atlantia has begun expanding its influence in other continents, including the once isolated continent of Aurus, once ruled by Matador. Playing their cards right, they gained sympathisers and backstabbing people amongst the ranks of the elite and hierachy, further strengthening their hold in the new continent. Ravaged by greed they invaded the isolated Principality, seeking to dethrone the Princess and putting her Regent into power, turning the vast continent in one giant vassal, with its minions doing the dirty work. In a last desperate move the Princess attempts to destroy any evidence of the Gate, a connection to two worlds, the black men's home world, but alas, this failed. Consequently, greed had its price and the Gate fell into hands of the Alliance. How will the other side fare and will peace return in this tyrannic world?
