I'm currently deliberating over whether I prefer Tau or elfdar. I think elfdar are winning out but they feel like monarchists or something.

planet elves explicitly feudalists, no respect for the nominal king. space elves are post-collapse anarcho-syndicalists with shamanistic tendencies. tau are neo-liberals, right?

they have a strict caste system with a hyper-educated technocratic elite ruling class, and a diverse coalition of middle and working classes of several different species. their beliefs trend towards "greater good" utilitarianism mixed with expansionist colonialism.

that image captures it nicely though. those power armored fellows in the front are tau elites. those naked spear wielding green fellows in the back are kroot conscripts. it's not an egalitarian society AT ALL.
