Their role is to survive more than anything else. They are a relatively new race in a hostile galaxy looking to improve their position. And if that means conflict with other races then they adapt to fight. They have a relatively strong military as they look to expand their small empire. However, after encountering the Imperium and losing horrendously they mainly prey on weaker Xenos races or preferably take relatively uninhabited habitable worlds. Basically in their small sector of space they are the big fish in the pond, able to take out smaller Xenos races with ease but on the Galactic scale they are but little minnows in a deadly ocean.
