	The Bastion is one of two [[Demiurg]] ships available to the two Tau fleets, being the Cruiser sized version of the two. As with the other Mercenary vessels, the Demiurg have their own special weapons, most of which are generic versions of Launch Bays, torpedo Launchers Lances and Macros. Of these standard weapons, the firing arcs are split more like the standard Imperial/Chaos factions. Because of this, you'll see a higher overall dps and cpm than the majority of Tau Protectors that can focus the entire armament in one direction.

	The Bastion-class Commerce Vessel is a large vessel of cruiser status used by the ~~NOT~~-[[~~Squats~~]]. It is often seen alone or fighting with [[Tau]] forces, although some Imperial commanders ~~has~~ been known to make use of their mercenary-like services.

The Bastion-class Commerce Vessel is a large vessel of cruiser status used by the [[Demiurg]] and the wider [[Squat]]-centric [[Leagues of Votann]]. It is often seen alone, with other Squat Prospector Fleets or fighting with [[Tau]] forces as mercenaries, although some Imperial commanders have been known to make use of their mercenary-like services too. They are most commonly seen on the eastern rim or branching out of the galactic cores, though this is still a very rare sight. The Bastion-class seems to be more outfitted for asteroid mining rather than processing, so it is likely that there is a trade of goods from one vessel to another though this has never been seen in action.

	The really notable weapon is the Cutting Beam, a weapon that charges when sitting next to wrecks or inside of asteroid fields. You can build up to a 7-second charge beam, which deals a total of 840 damage, before armor reductions, to all ships in its 4,500 unit long path. This is an excellent weapon against weaker armored, more numerous factions that need to stick together like Orks and Imperials are two good candidates. It might be harder to hit Aeldari vessels, but their weaker armor and hull points will make landed shots more devastating to them.
