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.

just a name in this case, not actual fleshless beings. the multi-species coop theme is there though. everybody boroughs tropes from everybody.
