Calling All T'au Empire Lore Experts | Analyzing The T'au Tech Tree in Depth
Hello brethren,
I grew up with W40K and absolutely adore the universe. I'm more or less creating a T'au adjacent story and, as such, I'm working on understanding their technology (which I have been told is not a tree) from start to finish along with their core concepts.
Wholeheartedly, I come here pleading to any hidden lore experts on the T'au Empire: I beg your kindness, to reveal yourselves to mine self, to serve as a foundational source of great knowledge from which I can learn and ask questions. I am looking for those who have a great passion for the faction and enjoy talking about them.
I am focusing on the T'au because I think they are (cool as hell) a faction close to being naturally possible in a realistic non-fantasy sci-fi universe. They are essentially intelligent races utilizing technology and I want to understand their order of focus if they had to hypothetically re-learn everything from the ground up. That is what I desire: how they started and what fundamental technologies (i.e. plasma, electromagnetic force) became integral to their life, warfare and operations.
Thank you for reading my post.
All For The Greater Good.
