=== Gravitic Launcher === [[File:Gravitic_Launchers_2.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Gravitic Launcher]] A very interesting weapon. Gravitic Launchers are a type of 'Missile Launcher' found only on the biggest Tau Warship. 'Missile Launcher' is in quotations because its firing mechanism is nothing more than an even larger railgun. While this should technically put it in the [[Gauss]] section, the reality is that this weapon only shoots out missiles, it's just that its firing mechanism follows the Railgun-mechanics which doesn't make it an actual bonafide Railgun. Due to its unique technical makeup, the weapon consists of a two-stage launch system. First, mass drivers provide the initial burst of speed to launch the missile before the ship's gravitational field is pulsed to force the missile out at a tremendous speed. The missiles are drone controlled, giving them exceptional directional control making them highly dangerous weapons. So, in a way theyโre a type of bolt weapon with magnetic and gravitic kicker instead of a chemical kick charge to get the ball rolling. They are identified by the four-tubed looking things sandwiched between the bridge and launch bays on top of a [[Or'Es El'Eleath|Or'es El'leath-class Battleship.]] The ones on the [[Lar'shi'vre-class Cruiser]] resembles five holes on the prow of the ship. <gallery> Gravitic_Launchers.JPG|3D-printed model.
