The Tau are a relatively young but highly technological race. They are current in a cycle of expansion, and have proven to be a more than capable match for older, more established empires.

In combat, the Tau are masters of long range weaponary, laying down lethal amounts of firepower from their Fire Warrior ground troops whilst the jetpacked Crisis Battlesuits move closer to deal with tougher opposition. Each suit is capable of carrying three weapon systems - though most carry only two - and various hard wired systems allow them to increase both accuracy and speed. This perticuler battlesuit is designated a Troopkiller, equipped with a five-per-shot armour piercing Ion blaster, and a munitions launcher, ejecting mini bomblets designed to explode at a short height over enemy troops.
