T'au Empire

Tau Empire
On the eastern fringe of the Imperium of Man lies the Tau Empire. The Tau are a young race but they have the uncanny ability to adapt and learn very quickly. Most of all the most threatening power of the Tau is not their technology but their Ideal of the Greater Good. This religion or ideal has shaped their society into a caste system that is divided into five castes, the Fire Caste, warroirs and soldiers of the Tau Empire; the Earth Caste, engineers and inventors; the Water Caste, diplomats and head of communications between the castes; and the Air Caste, the pilots of the great Tau Armada. Most of all the Greater Good has allowed the Tau to win over mighty allies such as the Kroot and Vespid as well as covert some humans. This growing Empire seems to have no end to its potential and is still in its beginning phase.
