[[Image:Vespid_Concept_Art.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Concept art work for a ''Vespid Stingwing'']]
The Vespid warriors, called ''Stingwings'', form tactical units referred to as ''Strains''. Each Strain is lead by a Strain leader.<sup>1</sup> Because the Vespid language is so complex (presumably because of their complex mouths) and only the Strain Leaders are given the apparatus to translate their language to their Tau allies, Vespid Strains are very close knit and a lot of reliance on Strain Leaders come comes from both sides.
Stingwing Strains are highly sought after in [[Tau]] [[Fire Warrior]] [[Cadre]]s because of their high level of maneuverability. They are often used by Tau commanders alongside [[Battlesuit#Crisis Battlesuit|Crisis Battlesuit]]s or used in a scouting role, backing up [[Tau Pathfinder|Pathfinders]]. In the Tau language they are referred to as "Mal'kor," which comes from "Mal" meaning insect and "kor" meaning air.
