Just wondering what would happen if a Ethereal no longer has control of a force. Like a force loses all contact with Ethereals and has to think for themselves. Kind of thinking it would be a Ronin type thing since the Fire caste are natural warriors. I might be rambling a bit here but trying to string a chain of thoughts together. Let me know what you think Dakka. As always, I bow to your infinate knowlege of the galaxy.

Not so much on a species-wide level. I mean if a force lost contact with Ethereals either due to death of the ethereals, being stranded, etc. Would they just wander fighting anything or just be wiped out by the Tau. I dont know. Im not really up on my Tau fluff so its kind of a mistery to me.
