Well I do not know if this is the right place, but I have a detailed background for a minor race, but it is sort of dependant upon the kind of interaction that the Tau have in this sector. I just wanted to ask if the Tau have any indfluence, no mater home intangible, because if so, then I will bother to suggest this minor race (with pics) that I have designed, but if the Tau have no place here, than i shall waste no more of both opf our respective time  . Many thanks for any responses (civil of course  ). Sokahr out |

TY for that.
Well I am trying to find a way of integrating a group of refugee xenos (one big species with a few sub-breeds just as there is in our species) who have been helped by the Tau to improve their primitive technology and grope out blindly to try and find a homeworld...
I just need a plot that will basically not result in them being annihalated by accidentally hitting Imperial space and getting their poor backsides tanned with plasma fire...
i will be posting a pic and some info at some point, but they are Canine based, so expect stuff along those lines, with a little 'bartered' Tau tech (pressure suits and armour mainly... tey have not got enough knowledge of future-tech to understand how to use most weapons - think of our level of tech, they had this till the Tau helped them evacuate).
If it is totally unsuitable for Anargo, I thank you for telling me as such and have only one request - Can anyone tell me of a place where I can continue to develop the story of this very minor race...?

Just post what you have got on them and the pictures, but Im kinda curious if they were helped by the Tau, why do they flee deep inside Imperial territory, and what are they fleeing from?

Well, I cannot post it all yet - as it is a owrk in progress yada yadda - but rest assured I will. I merely have a name to give - The Vaeloni
Basically, they are nomadic (due to the nids chowing down on their Eastern Fringe homeworld before the Wars against Behemoth) but they had only recently discovered warp travel (a few centuries prior to being eaten). They had a unique approach, in that they built large ships (about half the mass of a large ork hulk) and literally filled them with Gellar field boosters and the likes, so that their smaller ships could travel as a guardian/exploration force. This proved to be the salvation of what remains of their race, as when the Tyranids attacked, they had finished the third of these 'Storm-Rider' warpships, and all they could do was evacuate with the inferior ships as most of their populationj was decimated as all of their home-system outposts were destroyed. Their flight took them deep into Tau space before they emerged, their resources lacking and ships battered.
Although they declined the offer of membership ni the Tau empire, they did barter safe passage and repairs by selling exotic substabces (foodstuffs and art works left from their cultural history) and services to the Tau.
Also, during this time, they were inspired by the Galeath class starship to build smaller warp capable ships, but they designed them to create a Gellar bubble on a smaller scale, but in a similar way to their Warpships. Thus their Cultural hubs, in the form of fleets surrounding their Storm-Riders, could remain safe, while they sent raiding and exploration fleets to try and find a safe home for their race. Only one of these Warpships is known of by the Tau, and even the Vaeloni inhabiting the armada of civilian transports, warships and carriers that makes up a third of their surviving species do not know where their brethren have gone...
All they can hope for is continued peace for their greiving species almost 400 years after the destruction of their homeworld. No world has been found that has not proven too hostile or too close to hostile aliens for them to settle upon, and every year, their Storm-Riders report to their scouts that the Water caste envoys enjoining them to members of the Empire more feverently as they realise that ulitmately, the Vaeloni may have no choice...
Stil, they continue to plumb the mysteries of the galaxy desperately, and having Psykers, they can navigate the warp faster than the Tau (which is a closely guarded secret) and so they have penetrated into Imperial space in an effort to fidn some unknown world that will be left alone...
This is it so far - a bit sketchy, but I did think them up when I was doing some artwork lol, so I have along way to go... I hope you like what i have so far!
