Editing Squat (section)

====Then what ever happened to the Demiurg?====
Essentially? Nothing. They were given all of two mentions in recent memory: first as a footnote on a list of [[Tau]] auxiliaries, then as a small enclave of asteroid miners that [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka]] killed by accident while fighting some Bad Moonz. Their latest appearance is in the Battlefleet Gothic: Armada video games, where two Demiurg vessels appear as auxiliaries to the Tau fleet. While how canon the games are is of some dispute: Battlefleet Gothic: Armada II, where they also appear, takes place during the "Gathering Storm". So presumably them (or at least some factions/mercenaries) working with the Tau is their 'official' canon as of right now.

In fact, the Demiurg are mentioned as getting along with the Squats, trading Energy Drills to them. This is most likely due to the Squats being not-quite part of the Imperium and sharing similar stature and interest in mining.

Since the reintroduction of Squats as the Leagues of Votann, the Demiurg have been retconned into being one and the same with the Squats. It turns out that it was a Votann League known as the Seran-Tok Mercantile Leagues that were the ones who sold ion tech to the Tau (which appears to be an updated name from obscure fluff in official magazines which said the "SrryTok" Demiurg brotherhood traded heavily with the Tau), and some of the previewed Votann art and models have them with skin exactly like the old Demiurg concept art.
