Vespid Communion Helm
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Vespid Communion Helms are Tau-manufactured masks or helmets worn by Vespid Strain Leaders. Even among the Tau, the technology behind the Communion Helm is a mystery, as the Earth Caste created the devices following the orders of the Ethereal Caste.[1]
What is known is that the Vespids view the world around them in a different way than other sentient beings, and their perspective is so far removed they often fail to think that other species are sentient. The Communion Helm allows for communication between the Vespid and the Tau, although some in the Ordo Xenos theorises that the helm actually attunes its wearer to the worldview of the Tau.[1]
