[[Image:Gue'vesa.jpg|left|thumb|Gue'vesa soldiers]]
The '''Gue'vesa''' (lit. Human Helpers) are often the descendants of [[Imperial Guard]] troops who, during the [[Damocles Crusade]], were abandoned in [[Tau]] space and chose to join the Tau rather than face destruction. For them, fate has dictated that the [[Imperial Creed]] and the rule of the [[Adeptus Terra]] be replaced by loyalty to the collectivist Tau empire Empire and to the ruling [[Ethereal]] caste.
Human warriors fight with the benefit of Tau firepower. Human auxiliary troopers are a fairly common sight along the western fringes of Tau space, in particular on those worlds contested during the Damocles Crusade. The Tau proved a hardier foe than anticipated by the Imperial forces and, as the offensive became stalled, they were forced to withdraw in response to the far greater threat presented by the arrival of [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]] in nearby sectors.
