It's where many of the core conflicts of Warframe's storytelling were first set in motion: A far-off star where, thousands of years before in-game events take place, the synthetic race of Sentients rejected their lot as terraforming serfs for the Orokin empire and returned to the Sol system in violent rebellion. In the Old War that followed, only the Warframe-equipped Tenno proved capable of resisting the Sentient onslaught, until they too turned on their Orokin overlords and delivered a bloody coup de grace that toppled the oppressive empire. After the game opens with their Tenno character waking from ensuing centuries of suspended animation, everything the player sees is fallout from the attempted colonization of Tau—and for years, the arc of Warframe's plot has hinted we'd eventually travel there ourselves.
