Tau Empire Codex Pdf

I've found variants on this theme around the net, but they are either incomplete, out of date, or outright wrong. I've recently decided to complete as much of the Codex as possible (because I have Nerd OCD and must unlock everything ). As I fill in the gaps on my Imperial toons, I'll update the thread on a world by world basis from first to last visited. The intention is to point out entries with issues for the developers to take note of and so players need not waste their time hunting them down until they are fixed or removed.
This thread is only for Imperial Codex Entries associated with specific planets. The Codex is huge and I'm not currently checking the Flashpoint, Ops, PVP or other non-world entries at this time (though I may eventually). I am also not directly dealing with Achievements associated with Codex entries, as there are other good threads already handling issues on that subject.
If a Codex entry IS listed below, it means I've done everything I can think of and followed all net suggestions trying to get it and it just isn't happening (this includes grouping with players of classes that can get the missions that lead to entries).
If you notice an error in the listings, speak up. I'm juggling 8 new toons through the lower level planets, plus numerous endgame toons working through the high level worlds. I'm bound to miss something.
Are you sure this is correct? Everywhere else I read it says "Jokull" under Persons of Note is bugged for Imperials. I also asked players on Voss, and one said he just killed it and didn't get codex entry. Besides that my codex list is identical with what you wrote - good work!
The rest of my list matches yours except for Taris I have the planet fully completed and have the Lore: Geroya Be Haran that you list as missing. I believe I acquired it through my class missions there.
Thanks for the reply. Do you have any idea why I wouldn't be able to pick up that quest on Belsavis it mentions for New Men? I have already completed the main missions and bonus series on this planet a long time ago and wondering if that has something to do with it. I even tried earlier to get a person who had the quest to share it with me but it says I am ineligible.
The Codex Theodosianus ("Theodosian Code") is a compilation of the laws of the Roman Empire under the Christian emperors since 312. A commission was established by Emperor Theodosius II and his co-emperor Valentinian III on 26 March 429[1][2] and the compilation was published by a constitution of 15 February 438. It went into force in the eastern and western parts of the empire on 1 January 439.[1] The original text of the codex is also found in the Breviary of Alaric (also called Lex Romana Visigothorum), promulgated on 2 February 506.[3][4]
On 26 March 429, Emperor Theodosius II announced to the Senate of Constantinople his intentions to form a committee to codify all of the laws (leges, singular lex) from the reign of Constantine up to Theodosius II and Valentinian III.[5] The laws in the code span from 312 to 438, so by 438 the "volume of imperial law had become unmanageable".[6] Twenty-two scholars, working in two teams, worked for nine years starting in 429 to assemble what was to become the Theodosian Code.[7] The chief overseer of the work was Antiochus Chuzon, a lawyer and a prefect and consul from Antioch.[8]
Their product was a collection of 16 books containing more than 2,500 constitutions issued between 313 and 437, while, at the same time, omitting obsolete provisions and superfluous phrases, and making additions, emendations, and alterations.[9] John F. Matthews illustrated the importance of Theodosius' code when he said, "the Theodosian Code was the first occasion since the Twelve Tables on which a Roman government had attempted by public authority to collect and publish its leges."[10] The code covers political, socioeconomic, cultural, and religious subjects of the 4th and 5th centuries in the Roman Empire.[11]
While gathering the vast amount of material, editors often had multiple copies of the same law. In addition to this, the source material the editors were drawing upon changed over time. Clifford Ando notes that according to Matthews, the editors "displayed a reliance on western provincial sources through the late 4th century and on central, eastern archives thereafter."[12]
After 6 years, an initial version was finished in 435 but was not published. Instead, it was improved upon and expanded and finally finished in 438 and taken to the Senate in Rome and Constantinople. Matthews believes that the two attempts are not the result of a failed first attempt; however, the second attempt shows "reiteration and refinement of the original goals at a new stage in the editorial process".[13] Others have put forth alternate theories to explain the lengthy editorial process and two different commissions. Boudewijn Sirks believes that "the code was compiled from imperial copy books found at Constantinople, Rome, or Ravenna, supplemented by material at a few private collections, and that the delays were caused by such problems as verifying the accuracy of the text and improving the legal coherence of the work."[14]
Initially, Theodosius attempted to commission leges generales beginning with Constantine as a supplement for the Codex Gregorianus and the Codex Hermogenianus. He intended to supplement the legal codes with the opinions and writings of ancient Roman jurists, much like the digest found later in Justinian's Code. But the task proved too great, and in 435, it was decided to concentrate solely on the laws from Constantine to the time of writing. This decision defined the most significant difference between the Theodosian Code and Justinian's later Corpus Juris Civilis.
Matthews observes, "The Theodosian Code does, however, differ from the work of Justinian (except the Novellae), in that it was largely based not on existing juristic writings and collections of texts, but on primary sources that had never before been brought together."[18] Justinian's Code, published about 100 years later, comprised both ius, "law as an interpretive discipline", and leges, "the primary legislation upon which the interpretation was based".[19] While the first part, or codex, of Justinian's Corpus Civilis Juris contained 12 books of constitutions, or imperial laws, the second and third parts, the digest and the Institutiones, contained the ius of Classical Roman jurists and the institutes of Gaius.
While the Theodosian Code may seem to lack a personal facet due to the absence of judicial reviews, upon further review, the legal code gives insight into Theodosius' motives behind the codification. Lenski quotes Matthews as noting that the "imperial constitutions represented not only prescriptive legal formulas but also descriptive pronouncements of an emperor's moral and ideological principles".[20]
Apart from clearing up confusion and creating a single, simplified, and supersedent code, Theodosius II also attempted to solidify Christianity as the Empire's official religion after it had been decriminalised under Galerius' rule and promoted under Constantine's. In his City of God, St. Augustine praised Theodosius the Great, Theodosius II's grandfather, who shared his faith and devotion, as "a Christian ruler whose piety was expressed by the laws he had issued in favor of the Catholic Church".[21]
The Codex Theodosianus is, for example, explicit in ordering that all actions at law should cease during Holy Week, and the doors of all courts of law be closed during those 15 days (1. ii. tit. viii.). It also instituted laws punishing homosexuality, which represented a departure from policy under the period of the Roman Republic, under which homosexuality was tolerated and perhaps mocked but was not illegal.[22][23]
The first laws granting tax exemption to the church appear in the Codex and are credited to Constantine and his son Constantius II. These laws specify land owned by clergy, their family members, and churches were exempt from compulsory service and tax payments with the exception of land personally owned by the clerics.[24][25]
