Full wording ▾
Cadres of T’au Battlesuit pilots fight in a manner inspired by the dynamism and determination of famous and beloved war leaders. Indeed, some of the specialist piloting manoeuvres they employ are named after such icons, in a few rare – and sometimes unofficial – cases even after those who have since fallen far from favour with the Ethereal Council. Either way, these bonded veterans are experts in the deadly art of engaging the enemy in close confines. They plunge into the heart of the enemy army where the fighting is fiercest, and prevail in the name of the Greater Good.
