Battlesuits are powered exoskeletons used by the forces of the Tau Empire.
Role on the Battlefield
Tau Battlesuits are not like Imperial Power Armor in their role. They serve as command platforms for O level officers as well as heavy mobile weapons platforms, able to swiftly relocate from firing position to firing position while laying down constant barrages of long range firepower. Most of them are outfitted with jetpacks.
