Standard Imperial technology outright ignores kinetic shielding, and no, the Imperium is not "technologically primitive", that's just an annoying meme that keeps popping up from people who don't read any 40K material. After all, most of the fighting has been happening on the ME side of things.
Even then, the imperial portals probably won't be common knowledge. Unless the elder/tau portals become common knowledge. Unless the downtrodden psykers or criminals get a ship that can slink through the imperial blockade, then. They would likely realize they couldn't make any meaningful gains on the other side without a means to get around, declare going near the portals to be heresy (other than by Terra approved agents, of course) and just contain the threat to their space. The tau are about as big, empire size wise, at least, as the bigger mass effect factions.Īnd while some imperial zealots would likely cause a stir, the High Lords didn't get to their positions and last any decent amount of time by being stupid. Though, their ships are just now becoming equivallent to imperial warships, so the turians might give them a run for their money.
The taus ability to make short hops would be the fastest moving travel for 40k factions on the me side of things and it's likely the tau could deal with whatever they need to to set up an enclave. The Imperials have the advantage on their side of the portal, with void shields being as over powered as they are, and the ability to utilize their psykers, mobility, and all that fun stuff. Sure, but the other ones open in space the imperials do not care about, or is being hunted by the admech, who will do what they want with it regardless of the inquisition. There's also the chance of people who may use the opportunity to run into hiding, the Mass Effect universe provides plenty of safe havens for people like that.Ī psyker would like a place to hide where their abilities wouldn't draw the attention of the Imperium.Īs for the rest, well the Tau do like a challenge, and they have direct access to a relay though it takes them to one of the most heavily defended locations within Turian space. Evident-Disaster wrote: Yay, the one slight problem with that there are several portals so containment may be an issue since one is technically located in the Eye of Terror and well that one is a little bit useless since it only leads to one planet and it's a fair distance away from a relay so the forces of Chaos may have difficulty moving around.Īlso I did mention that the portal took the Imperium across two small relays, but that's pretty much it, and don't think there aren't zealots who'd see the opportunity to start more wars or expand further outwards.
