The Farsight Enclaves, known as the "Forbidden Zone" in the T’au Empire, are a series of heavily-fortified T’au colony worlds that are independent and indeed opposed to the rule of the T’au Empire and its Ethereals. They are ruled by the legendary Fire Caste Shas’O Vior’la Shovah Kais Mont’yr, known to the Imperium as Commander Farsight, and lie on the far side of the Damocles Gulf region of the Segmentum Ultima in the Eastern Fringe of the Milky Way Galaxy.
The warriors of the Farsight Enclaves are the most rebellious of the T’au, eschewing the assistance of the Ethereals and instead following the teachings of Commander Farsight – a legendary hero who left the T’au Empire to pursue his own goals.
The Farsight Enclaves are known for their mastery of close assault, using their battlesuits to great effect in mass drop assaults from Manta transports. On the tabletop, the Farsight Enclaves possess a Sept Tenet that opens up a new tactical avenue for your army, making your force surprisingly deadly in close quarters.

I tried to minimise the amount of micromanaging necessary by making most drone abilities passive.
Shield Drones now provide +2 armour to all adjacent units.
Pulse Accelerator Drones now grant +1 pulse weapon range to all adjacent stationary units.
Stealth Drones now grant +17% range damage reduction to all adjacent units.
Drone controller now grants -5 cooldown reduction to drone summoning.
Extractor Drone – resource gathering unit.
- Extractor Protocols: the drone is immobile and automatically gathers resource bonus from adjacent special resource feature. Gathering resources gives your city the resource feature’s secondary resource bonus. This is the default state when drone is first deployed.
- Prospector Protocols: drone stops gathering resources and becomes a mobile flyer.
