The Nicassar are
driven by an insatiable curiosity to explore and travel. It was this which
lead them into contact with the Tau and becoming the first addition to the
fledgling empire. They continue to serve the Greater Good by providing
fleets to scout and explore. Their ships are very manoeuvrable but have
little interstellar capabilities and as such are often towed by other Tau
ships into battles, and with upgraded weaponry provided by the Tau are now a
match for any other escort.
The ships themselves are piloted by the captain’s psychic powers and often
join together to form a larger community when embarking on longer journeys.
The crew enter deep states of hibernation to overcome their lack of
interstellar propulsion.
The first encounter with the Tau was when a Tau explorer was setting up a
waystation in intersteller space and sighted a Nicassar flotilla.
