Information Awareness
Information Awareness is the primary intelligence body of the Tau Empire.[1]
The Tau place great value in intelligence, and thus Information Awareness operates centers at the Coalition level. It is not overseen by a single Caste, but rather each caste contributes its own resources. The Fire Caste oversees military intelligence, the Water Caste spies and personnel intelligence, the Earth Caste electronic intelligence, and the Air Caste aerial, satellite, and fleet-based intelligence. Ethereals are the chief overseers of Information Awareness, serving as a unifying body for the disparate assets involved.[1]
The collections and special operations arm of Information Awareness is known as the Hundred Eyes. The Hundred Eyes is often deployed far ahead of Kor'vattra fleets years in advance, gathering information on potential enemies and organising sympathetic local assets to fight for the Tau. Most Tau believe Hundred Eyes to just be a term for integrated intelligence, but it is in fact a highly secretive body made up of Water Caste operatives.[1]
