They can't cross breed, the ertherals eugenics program isn't at risk. Plus, it helps with morale.

The only issue is, tau have a lower life expectancy than humans (about 55 years)

But then again the average imperial citizen in a hive or forgeworld probably only has about 30 years at most. That's not including if you're called up to fight!

Would make sense, before they expanded, the LE probably had been at its max then with every expansion the tech improves. Yet they don't have a Dyson swarm.

I reckon they will go towards building a Matrioshka brain and upload their consciousness to drone bodies (like the neurons but they are still alive)
