→Overview
Typical civilian jobs for Drones include message delivery or domestic services, as well as dangerous or tedious duties. This latter ability makes Drones popular for use by the Tau military in support of their organic forces. Despite this, the Tau do not treat their military Drones as expendable forces, instead as a way to augment and support their [[Fire Warrior]]s in the field.{{Fn|5a}} The most common uses of these drones entail carrying and operating equipment presumably too heavy or bulky to simply be carried by a team member.{{CME}}
Whilst more accepting of AI [[Abominable Intelligence|A.I.]] than other races, the T'au nonetheless have a taboo against creating self-replicating drones.{{Fn|32}}
