The Puretide Engram Neurochip is a piece of experimental support equipment used by the Tau Empire. Commander Puretide, being the most gifted Tau Commander in history, had his mind scanned as he lay close to death and his memories were committed to a massive hologram program on Dal'yth. Now crafted into a bio-chip, when surgically implanted into a Tau Commander, the bearer can access much of the wisdom of Puretide himself and drawing upon his great reserves of tactical knowledge.[1] The Chip was used to create the cadre of Tau Commanders known as the Swords of Puretide during the Damocles Crusade[2]
