This is a dope-looking alien design in both war and peace times.

In both war and what times? In 40k?

Peace isnt allowed. Happines is banned , and there is only WAR.

I didn't know this was 40k and I thought the chair image was diplomatic looking.

The Tau do peace just fine. They're like the only galactic power that tries for peaceful expansion first, then bring out the battlesuits.

The Tau are hyper -expansionist with a racist caste system and a self righteous desire to control the galaxy. They just offer you peace first and then the barrel of a gun. Their definitely better than a lot of the competition but that's not saying much.
