Editing The Tail (section)

==History==

=== Background ===
[[:Category:Tailies|Tailies]] were not an intentional part of Snowpiercer's society. They invaded the train when Snowpiercer was about to depart, most of them were the poor who couldn't afford a ticket. Until the Civil War, they were not considered as passengers and were kept prisoners in the last few cars of the tail section. As such, they did not have any rights. They had no permission to visit other cars except on rare occasions, and when specifically given notarized authorization. According to Andre Layton, most hadn’t seen the sun since first boarding the train seven years before.

The Tailies had tried to revolt in order to fights for a better life so many times, known rebellions included the [[Year Two Rebellion]]<ref>[[The Last to Go|S03E02 - The Last To Go]]</ref> and [[Year Three Rebellion]]<ref name=":0" />, both failed. 

If ''Snowpiercer'' needs to slow down in order to perform maintenance, the train will be in deficit, producing lesser energy than it has to use. The solution to this is to stop powering non-essential systems (such as lights) in The Tail Cars and stop feeding the Tail in order to save energy. According to [[Murray]], the "Year Four Blackout" lasted a month.<ref name=":2" /> A blackout happened again in ''[[Prepare to Brace]]'' when the [[Cattle Car]] was breached. In such time Tailies would move themselves together to stay warm, slowly shares their hoarded rations of water and protein bars. 

They sometimes breed rats and feed them the [[Protein Bars (TV Series)|Protein Bars]] in order to have more food.
