Further expansion required a drive system capable of spanning interstellar distances, but this proved to be a more formidable barrier than expected. By the 39th Millennium they had spread through the T'au System and ringed their homeworld with orbital research and manufacturing facilities. Once unified by the Ethereal Caste the T'au made incredible technological progress. Without the Kor'vattra the manifest destiny of the T'au could never be realised and as a species their existence would be at the mercy of celestial phenomena such as meteors or supernova. The development of the T'au Protection Fleet (known as the Kor'vattra in the T'au Lexicon) has been given the highest priority by the T'au Empire's ruling Ethereal Caste. Despite this they have made remarkable progress in developing both civilian and military starships, and have now reached a level where their ships can be compared to Imperial designs. The T'au Empire has only expanded into space during the last thousand Terran years. ![]()
