The Nicassar are highly psychic, and because of this the Tau have carefully kept them hidden from the [[Imperium]] for fear of igniting the worst excesses of [[human]] xenophobia.{{Fn|1}}
The Nicassar are driven by an insatiable curiosity to explore and travel, becoming semi-nomadic and most content when traveling. The Nicassar can put themselves into states of hibernation in which they can survive for long periods. {{Fn|1}} Nicassars have ivory hair-quills and stubby clawed limbs. Communicating with Tau, Nicassar always floats in a special healsphere.{{Fn|2}} They are described as having limited mobility and being unfit for ground combat, and so further the [[Greater Good]] by providing ships for the Tau fleet, especially for the roles of scouting and exploring.{{Fn|1}}
