Emissary Class Vessel.
The Emissary is the first vessel created for the renovation of the Tau Navy. Designed primary for transport for Water Caste dignitaries, Tau commanders and Ethereals and second for battle. They are also used as large merchant vessels. Despite its size, the Emissary is well equipped and perfectly capable of looking after itself against all but the largest capital ships.

These ships are now becoming common within the Tau Empire. As this class was the first of the renovation program and their versatile role, their number may increase in the Kor'vattra.

The size of the Emissary is roughly the 1/4 of an Imperial Emperor Class Battleship (as seen in Fire Warrior game). It can transport up to 2 squadrons of Barracuda.
