Tau Confederacy

The Tau Confederacies were two confederations of planets with the First Tau Confederacy existing between the Years -1500 and -1000, and the Second Tau Confederacy existing between Years 12 and 36.

First Tau Confederacy
The Tau Confederacy was formed in Year -1500 when several planets that had broken away from the Kappa Dynasty formed a united government. The Tau Confederacy began with just 3 planets including former capital Tau IV Alpha, and added members and allies during the centuries of war during the Dynastic Wars.

At the height of its power around Year -1400, it consisted of over 10 planets and moons spanning Zones 4-6, with a total of over 20 associated planetary allies throughout the galaxy. Its influence did not last long, however, as it lost many planets to the Space Raiders around year -1300, and eventually lost most of their power to a dissolution by year -1000.

Second Tau Confederacy
A second rendition of the Tau Confederacy was formed following the Great Summoning, when Tau seperatists and Tau unionists gained power. A confederation of planets from Zones 4-6 from the first confederation formed. In Year 36, after the immense devastation and surrender of the capital planet in Zone 6, the confederacy reformed into the United Tau Federation.
