Notes

• The Tau featured in the setting of Warhammer 40,000.
• Early development of the Tau came from Gav Thorpe as detailed on his blog where he intended to create a science fiction counterpart to the Lizard of Warhammer Fantasy. Initially, they were referred to as the Shishell that were divided into five castes based on the elements namely Earth, Air, Water, Fire and the final one being Spirit with the species led by Psykers. Eventually, the idea led to the early creation of the Tao with the name then changing to Tau.
• At the time, their chief designer was Andy Chambers who intended for the Tau, "to be altruistic and idealistic, believing heartily in unification as the way forward." He also described them as, "their proud, quiet but determined character [developed] to the point where they actually became a rather likeable, if slightly naive addition to the cosmos." Writer Graham McNeill was then responsible for much of the background material produced for the Tau and developed the concept described by Andy Chambers.
• Upon the release of the 8th Edition, the Tau faction were rebranded as the T'au Empire.
