The Lar'shi (Hero)-class Starship is a Cruiser class starship used in the Tau Empire's Kor'vattra. The pinnacle of Tau technology, the Lar'shi-class was the product of Tau experience during the Damocles Gulf Crusade. The Tau were determined that they should have a ship that could match the Imperial Lunar-class Cruiser. As it became evident, they failed; but they did succeed in producing a credible ship of the line.
