Homebrew Tau Species Details

Tau are a blue skinned alien race with hooved feet and 4 digits on their hands. They have a small interplanetary empire on the eastern fringes of the sol system. They prefer peace to war, and follow an ideology called the 'greater good'. They try to assimilate other planets into their quickly expanding empire, other than erasing all species alien to them and stealing everything the planet has to offer by throwing lives at it like they were nothing but numbers. *cough* Imperium *cough*.  You hate orcs, as they once attacked your empire viciously, and they really  hate you because you nearly hunted them to extinction. You need to hide your appearance from humans, as they attempt to kill all aliens they see, but if the warp somehow brings you to the period on what the humans call Terra  known as the medieval era, they will likely not attack you.You must remember that you must avoid fighting. But if you must fight, remember your training. As a member of the fire caste you are trained to carefully plan out attacks before making them, and you either attack with precision blows against the enemy to take out critical parts of their line, or through ambushes and drawing your enemy into kill zones. You always prefer long range attacks to melee combat, as you are trained to be highly proficient with long range weapons.
