The Tau are a relatively new race in the galaxy. The Tau empire is based on 'The Greater Good' their blueprint for a better existence. led by the mysterious Ethereals, the Tau expand their empire in all directions. Unfortunately, all the other races of the galaxy do not want to join the Tau empire, and conflict is inevitable.
Although they prefer diplomacy, the Tau at war are a force to be reckoned with; squads of disciplined Fire Warriors hold the line while their feral allies, the Kroot mercenaries, charge the enemy. When the frontal assault fails, the Tau have their superior firepower and the highly advanced Crisis battlesuits to fall back on.
