Cycle forwards a couple thousand years and now the Tau a small player on the galactic stage, which would get crushed by the Imperium, if they ever got to be a major threat/encroached on Imperial territory too much/the Imperium actually finds the time and resources to throw at them.



*Cough*Squats*Cough*

Were the old 6 limbed zoats, a separate xenos race, or were they part of the tyranids in 40K?
Mention of 'Squats' has been declared Hereticus Maximumus by the Emperor's Most Holy Inquisition. There are no such thing as 'Squats' and never have been.They were eaten by Tyranids anyways, not wiped out by the Imperium.
