Physiology and Biology

Their mouths are an arrangement of mandibles each with a row of sharp teeth.

Society

Because the Vespid language is so complex (presumably because of their complex mouths) and only the Strain Leaders are given the apparatus to translate their language to their Tau allies, Vespid Strains are very close knit and a lot of reliance on Strain Leaders comes from both sides.

Stingwing Strains are highly sought after in Tau Fire Warrior Cadres because of their high level of maneuverability. They are often used by Tau commanders alongside Crisis Battlesuits or used in a scouting role, backing up Pathfinders. In the Tau language they are referred to as "Mal'kor," which comes from "Mal" meaning insect and "kor" meaning air.

Inserted this text into the article. Hope that's ok. RedInq (talk) 21:59, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Did you provide precise sources for that? --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum (talk) 10:09, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Sources 1 and 2 were already cited. Clearly the editor who cited them just forgot to finish the sentence for whatever reason. RedInq (talk) 11:49, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Well, as long as it is and has been verified. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum (talk) 11:52, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

I've rewritten it to be on the safe side. RedInq (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Technology

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).

The Neutron Blaster the Vespid Stingwings carry is a unique blending of Tau technology and the unstable radioactive crystals that the Vespids mine. The energy harnessed from the crystal allows the weapon to strip atoms off of the target. Due to the Vespids' wings creating different harmonic resonances within the crystal, they are the only creatures able to wield the Neutron Blaster effectively.

In terms of their own technology, the closest thing that has so far been recognized is their own wings. It is unclear yet just how their wings are used, whether they are flexible enough to oscillate fast enough or are capable of ejecting fluid or plasma to produce lift, is yet to be ascertained. In either eventuality they are capable of flight and are often deployed onto the battle field from the air, enabling them to join the battle in the most suitable location.

Background Information

The Vespid were first introduced to the Warhammer 40,000 universe in Codex: Tau Empire (4th Edition).
