T'au Commander

Tau Commanders are the heroes of the Tau Empire – they have dedicated their lives utterly to the pursuit of the Greater Good. Each is wise and insightful, and an inspirational figure to his troops; whilst being battle-scarred warriors and supremely dangerous foes to their enemies. Tau Commanders maintain their heroic presence by piloting a Tau Battlesuit of the most sophisticated battle armour, and whilst they may utilise similar weapons and equipment to their subordinate Shas’Vre, their rank and importance often gives them access to more non-standard equipment, like different hard-wired Support Systems, Battlesuit Wargear, and/or upgraded weapons systems. A Tau commander is a fearsome adversary and one the enemies of the Tau Empire have learned to respect.
