Manta

Page Under Construction

The Tau Manta Missile Destroyer is a super heavy dropship that is also the Tau Empire's closest equivalent to war machines on the scale of the Imperium's Titans of the Adeptus Mechanicus, and Ork Gargants. It is well armoured for its use in frontline combat and can deliver massive amounts of firepower to help Tau forces in a frontal assault. The Manta also features a high transport capacity that can carry entire Hunter Cadres to and from engagements. The Manta is also the smallest interstellar capable spacecraft of the Tau and serves an important role in furthering the expansions of the Tau Empire within the battlefields of war.
