Gue'vesa

Gue'vesa (Tau: Human Helpers) are the Human Auxilleries of the Tau Empire, supplementing the forces of the Fire Caste.

History

During the Damocles Gulf Crusade, a large number of Imperial Guard Soldiers surrendered or were captured by the Tau Military. Many more were Abanndoned during the Imperial Withdrwal and captured as well. Rather than exterminating these soldiers, the Tau Commander Farsight offered them the option to stay imprisoned or join into Tau Society and embrace there role serving the Greater Good. Many of which chose the latter, settling on Tau Worlds and serving the Tau Empire as soldiers. This was further suplemented by Human populations on worlds that the Tau Conquered after the crusade.

Gue'vesa soldiers are very much like their Imperial Guard counterparts in terms of training and mostly the same armaments, most Gue'vesa are armed with Lasguns produced by Imperial Industrial facillities as well as using vehicles including Sentinal Walkers. However, they have access to superior Tau body armor and a few Gue'vesa soldiers have been equiped with Tau Pulse weaponry.
