nevertheless, find Xenos that live together with humans, both will be fought against, find humans that don't wanna bow down to the Imperium, they will be fought against, find xenos that sit on ressources sought after by the Imperium, they will be fought against(imagine a 2nd Nostramo (Adamantium) as Xenos planet and IoM comes along...), find xenos that defend their homeworlds against a militaristic, xenophobic entity like the IoM, you will have war.

Ironiccally, the Tau are much more accepting other species as the IoM (Guev'sa, vepvid,kroot and demiurg, how many alien species are employed as equal partners by the IoM?) Aparently in Spacebattles.com they concluded that the Tau are infact Worse than the IoM, they stated that the IoM not only has more freedom (Some planets are Democratic) but they are now on the age where they just want to be left alone, and often they sent in a Imperial Diplomat to have peace talks to new alien species asking them to leave them alone.

Furthermore life in the IoM is incredibly varied, sure there are shit-holes such as Catachan for example, but there are some where it is a Paradise world or even democratic. The only thing you need to do in a IoM world is to pray for the Emprah, pay your taxes, and don't go into Chaos.

Also there were even cases of Xeno living quite comfortebly in the Imperium, hell there was even Ork merceneries working with the Ordo Xenos. There was also some Imperial Planets who wanted to ally with the Eldar, the reason why they haven't went HERETIC! is because those aliens are considered not a threat to the Imperium or are under extreme watch.

Compared this to the Tau who not only brainwash you, but attempt to ask aliens to join or die. Whats even worse is that they are a caste system, and aliens who join them are pretty much slaves of the slaves. Those who object, even peacefully, are conqured and forcefully segregated all in the name of the 'Greater Good'.

Whats even more worse is that compared to the IoM, who at least has standards of leaving you alone so long as your not a threat. The Tau Never leave you alone. Dosen't sound so accepting right? Furthermore (Correct me if I am wrong) the Imperium only declared war to the Tau because they found out that they were secretley converting and conquering Imperial planets right?

All in all the Tau are even more imperialistic than the IoM, the IoM is already at the dead end and they are sick and tired of fighting all these enemies at once, and they don't want another up-start prick to give them more trouble.
