'''Xenos''' is an [[Imperium|Imperial]] term synonymous with "alien" (from the [[human]] perspective), and refers to all non-human and extraterrestrial sentient species. "Xeno" is properly only used as a prefix. A xeno-artefact or xeno-technology for instance respectively refers to an alien artefact or alien technology.
==Xenos and Chaos==
The relationship between particular alien races and [[Chaos ]] varies from case to case. Some are by their nature completely immune, such as the Necrons. Others such as the Tau appear to be largely immune to Chaos corruption, although much of this immunity is of social nature. Others have been completely corrupted.Races influenced and corrupted by Chaos include the [[Bale Childer]]{{Fn|5}}, [[Drahken]]{{Fn|8}}, [[Yu'vath]]{{Fn|5}}, [[Saruthi]]{{Fn|6}}, [[Xenarch]]{{Fn|7}}
