[[File:Castellan.JPG|300px|right|thumb|Your first introduction to the magic of HOMING MISSILES.]]

The Kir'shasvre-class Frigate (or Castellan) is an Escort roughly comparable to the Imperial Navy's [[Sword-class Frigate|Sword]] and [[Firestorm-class Frigate]]s. It is armed with a prow [[Gravitic Launcher]] and [[Starship Railgun]] battery.

Twenty Castellans saw action during the Taros Campaign.

The Castellan is one of the first and earliest Tau warships that allows you to play around with their homing missiles. This gives the Tau a much longer potential range for their [[Torpedo]] launches than with other factions, especially if they can provide some form of massed fire or defensive squadron cover to protect the missiles from defence turrets as they travel along their journey. They also have a few light railgun turrets for point-defence purposes and dishing out moderate damage against enclosing enemy vessels.

It is armed with 2 Missile Launching [[Gravitic Launcher]]s and 3 Double-Barrel Light [[Starship Railgun]] Turrets.
