The Kappa Mortis Incident was a brief Imperial military campaign in which a detachment from the Ultramarines Space Marine Chapter sought to recover a downed Imperial shuttlecraft containing captured Tau technology. As the Imperium had only recently encountered this new and unusually technologically advanced xenos species, the Inquisitors of the Ordo Xenos and the Magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus were eager to get their Mechadendrites on Tau wargear so that they could plumb the depths of its heretical secrets and fashion appropriate Imperial countermeasures.

| - The Kappa Mortis Incident was a brief Imperial military campaign in which a detachment from the Ultramarines Space Marine Chapter sought to recover a downed Imperial shuttlecraft containing captured Tau technology. As the Imperium had only recently encountered this new and unusually technologically advanced xenos species, the Inquisitors of the Ordo Xenos and the Magi of the Adeptus Mechanicus were eager to get their Mechadendrites on Tau wargear so that they could plumb the depths of its heretical secrets and fashion appropriate Imperial countermeasures. The recovery mission proved successful, though the Ultramarines recovered only a single helmet taken from a Tau XV15 Stealthsuit. However, the Tau feared that this in itself would prove detrimental to the Fire Caste's tactical surprise over the Imperials, and so the Earth Caste moved to rush the XV25 Stealthsuit into deployment. This was done to get a new Tau Stealthsuit into combat that the Imperial military had not yet analysed, even though the XV25 was less advanced than the harder-to-produce XV22 Stealthsuit that was still at the prototype stage.
