Lar'shi'vre (Protector)-class Cruiser

The Tau Navy's Lar'shi'vre (Protector)-class Cruiser is the Tau Empire's primary warship, purpose-built for engaging and destroying enemy ships. Two Lar'shi'vre cruisers participated in the Taros Campaign, wreaking havok upon Imperial shipping as the Or'es El'leath-class carrier A'rho drew off part of the Imperial fleet.

While lacking the bulk and defenses of its Imperial counterparts, the Lar'shi'vre's firepower allows it to go head-to-head with them nonetheless, unleashing terrible barrages of Railgun battery, Ion cannon, and Gravitic-launced missiles alongside its squadrons of Barracudas and Mantas.

Notable Ships

 * Io'Tar and Io'Phi - Lar'shi'vre class cruisers that participated in the Taros Campaign. They formed the core of that fleet, raiding Imperial supply lines with great success.
