They are aliens, granted. But if ever I witness another creature so furiously keen to wipe out the greenskinned scum, it could be a ship's plasma-rat and I wouldn't think twice about having them fight by my side.
He's a mad "white sox" fan (I don't even follow baseball, but I know they're different from, say the Boston Red Sox). To this extent, he has painted his tau up in the uniform colours of this team.
He has even sort of "tau-ified" some of the player names for his Shas'vres, and (IIRC) his ethereal was named after a coach.
He isn't very cluey on searching teh internetzorz for stuff (but he is old enough to learn how, being 23). He was after a tau sounding name for "White sox" for his army. Even if it is only "pale boots"
It is very dificult to think of a Tau name for white sox, due to the lack of tau words. There are no known words for bodyparts, clothing or even armour (only the material). for white you could use bright (ol in Tau), but for sox you should think of something yourself. Maybe something like ol'soks
Shas One caste for the protection of our race, for their skills and strategies will defend us all.
One caste for the construction of a safe place, for without their technology our empire would fall.
One caste for our faraway travels, for their ships will bring us through the galaxy.
One caste for the talking at all levels, for their smooth words will pave our road to victory.
In our galaxy there will only be the Tau’va. One caste to rule them all, one caste to guid them, one caste to bring them all, and in the era of the Mont’au, bind them. In our galaxy there will only be the Tau’va.
