==Technology==
The Vespids' technology is based around exotic crystals only found on the bottom of the floating islands of their homeworld, which they manipulate with the ultrasonic sounds manipulated from their wings.{{Fn|2}} At the time of their discovery by the Tau, the Vespid had not yet developed spaceflight but did possess weapons of mass destruction that made total wars between nations undesirable.{{Fn|1}}
From the Tau, they have gained armor and weaponry, and a [[Vespid Communion Helm]] that enables them to more freely communicate with other races (as their own language is extremely complex and for the most part inimitable). Their weapons are a mixture of Tau technology and Vespid resources, which enables them to act as specialist against heavily armored troops (specifically the Space Marines, whom the Tau have always had problems fighting against).{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
