@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 actually, the Tau having a leader caste after devastating civil wars sounds eerily similar to what Necrons did with biotransference and control protocols. And they have a very short lifespan as well. Plus, they are as naïve with other races as the necrontyr were with the C'tan when they first met, or when they asked for the Old Ones to kindly show them the path to immortality
