Has it ever been stated what happens to all the human psykers living in Tau space? Would their population skyrocket without any blackships, or can the Tau control the issue?

No.
>>44151783
Probably killed.
It works.
Tau space isn't shit.
Why don't tau fags get this.
Whatever humans they may come into contact with provide too small a sample to maybe even find a non-sanctioned psyker.
Any they might encounter are programmed like astropaths.
Tau, your footnote is comparable to spacesquats.
You don't matter and your achievements don't matter. You've been put in 40k as Token-non-tyranid xenos. That's why you have token alien friends in your codex.
Just be glad you got put on the acceptance bus over the arguably more interesting Slaan.
The Tau Empire hides Psyker races like the Nicassar from the Imperium. They contribute to the war effort in all the campaigns (like in Kauyon), though.

Psykers are about one in a million.
Tau have captured Hive Worlds, so they will undoubtedly have some psykers.

That Tau have captured like dozens of Imperial worlds. Three of them are hiveworlds. Their human populations are in the billions.
Tau have Psyker races living under their coalition and contribute to the war effort at least in space. They call it mind science, but don't understand it. The Ethereals are aware of Chaos, but hide it from the rest of the castes. It sounds familiar to the Emperor's policies regarding Chaos.
>>44151783
What if the Tau happily annexed a Chaos world and had no idea that the only reason the psykers on the planet didn't explode as frequently as untrained psykers was because of the underlying devotion to Chaos. Like for example if the Tau accidentally picked up a planet similar to Vraks where the population is massively affected by underlying Chaos but on the surface they'd appear to be a really raggedy strangely more brutal imperial world because half their population still thought they were fighting for some greater good and/or humanity?
Ok what I'm actually trying to say is wouldn't it be fun if there was some Chaos inclined Gue'vesa units because the Tau were too retarded to notice the difference between regular human brutality and Chaos brutality.
>>44152247
The Tau captured a Word Bearer world and civilized the humans there. The Word Bearers returned and were pissed at the Tau for stopping the blood sacrificial wars on the planet. The Tau and Word Bearers fought for the planet.

>Ok what I'm actually trying to say is wouldn't it be fun if there was some Chaos inclined Gue'vesa units because the Tau were too retarded to notice the difference between regular human brutality and Chaos brutality.
The problem is that the Tau are not as naive as you think. Sure most of the Tau know nothing about Chaos. The Ethereals know more. They actively suppress information about the Warp and Chaos for no apparent reason.
>>44152085
Psykers are rare, but they're still common enough to where any world with a noticeable human population is going to have more than a few of them.
It's more likely than not that the Tau study them in laboratories or kill them on sight, with more money being on killing them because the Tau don't really have a good understanding of how Psykers work (and therefore don't know how to counter them or detain them).
>>44152450
You mean the same reason the Emperor did. Ignorance is the best weapon against Chaos.
>>44152323
>and civilized the humans there
They didn't civilize it though. They plunged the world into civil war and then wiped out half the population, with a major sub-faction still making constant demands of the the Tau that they continue the Blood Games or else they would all suffer, even going so far as to constantly rebel in large enough numbers to merit Tau action.
Then the Word Bearers showed up and restarted the war.
>>44152323
> Tau civilising barbarous human civilisation created by World Bearer.
Could be funny to see.

Bitches don't know about my Psyker Space Flat Bears.

Contrary to them, he couldn't be behind everyone's back though.
>>44152765
The war was already plunged into a war. The Tau aided one side and made them win the war. After that the Tau took over and ended the Blood wars. Most of the population were okay with it but only few among them weren't okay.
Then the Word Bearers showed up.
>>44152759
That turned out well.
>>44152826
> According to the judgement of the Etheral state council N° 136727, the "Nicassar Frisbee" game is considered an affront to sapient being's dignity, and therefore forbidden.
>>44152085
On most Imperial Worlds, the weaker pyskers are sacrificed to the Emperor, with only the stronger ones becoming Sanctioned Pyskers. The Tau would have no such need to use up such minor pyskers, and would probably find other uses for them.
>>44151783
The daemon hunters codex mentions that the inquisition may fight the Tau because some Rogue psykers may have taken refuge in Tau space.
So that would imply the Tau can allow daemon summoning crazies into their space but the Imperium will try to remove them with small strike forces.
The fluff for the Tau does say that humans are intergrated into the Empire so psychers probably do fail these a lot (due to them being so physically weak and rogue ones often being crazy) so are just removed.
>>44153994
The Tau probably can pick out the Psykers eventually, they routinely screen human populations for mutation and cure the ones whose mutations are genetic in origin. Since being a psyker is genetic logically they would start picking them out.
I wonder if the Tau's lack fo psykers and souls is a deliberate result of the Ethereal's genetic-engineering and breeding programs. I think there's some fluff that claims that their brain has evolved in such a way to prevent the development of psyker powers.
>>44151783
It's never stated what happens to human psykers in the Tau Empire.
But going by the comments these threads always generate, the Tau are at once so incredibly naive that they don't do anything about it and are currently already drowning in warp portals and rogue psykers to the point where they've actually been wiped out as a faction since just after Damocles AND are so evil and totalitarian that they sterilize everyone and genetically alter humans to lose their psyker genetic heritage and put two in the head of any closely-watched human who displays any signs of psychic awareness.
Or, you know, you could fill it in yourself and give the Tau an elite and secretive organization of psyker hunters who operate like a Xenos version of Dark Heresy, where you're delving into things you were never meant to know and even your employers might be out to get you.
>>44151783
There are no psykers, just superstitious and mentally damaged humans, with the right social, medical and surgical treatments the delusions fade.
>>44154913
Part of the reason the whole Tau system works is because of misinformation and lack of knowledge. I doubt that the Tau would immediately fall back into an anarchic war without the guidance of the Ethereals and the Greater Good, but the fear is so present it keeps almost all Tau in line. And the Ethereals have gone out of their way to avoid letting the Empire know about the scope and scale of the conflicts of the galaxy and the forces arrayed against them. They probably pass of daemons as aliens and pyskers as some sort of quirk of biology or advanced weaponry.
It's sort of like how in 1984, how you can't be sure if Airstrip One is a world superpower or the equivalent of North Korea, at least from the inside.
