== Shas - Fire caste ==

Members of the '''Fire Caste''' are the warriors of the [[Tau Empire]], and as such are most often seen on the field of battle. They have been bred to be the tallest, strongest, and most aggressive Tau, and weak strains are quickly weeded out. These traits come from the Fire Caste's origin on the plains of [[T'au]], where they were hunters and warriors. [[Fire Warriors]], as soldiers of the Fire Caste are known, spend their entire lifetimes in battle or preparing for it, constantly honing their tactics and working to improve their skills. Tau from the world of [[Vior'la]] tend to have slightly greater muscle mass than the norm because of the stronger gravity of that planet.{{Fn|6a}} The Fire Caste guided by the [[Code of Fire]] - a doctrine of loyalty, martial arts and merciless war tempered by wisdom.{{Fn|6a}}{{Fn|9a}}
