For everyone that likes Warhammer 40k Tabletop and Dawn of War Games or anything to do with Warhammer 40K.
The Protector is that main fighting vessel of the Tau fleet, designed and built soley for the purpose of engaging and destroying the enemy in fleet actions.
It is heavily armed and versatile, designed to match an Imperial cruiser on even terms. While these graceful ships lack the great bulk and structure of their Imperial foes, they certainly match them in firepower.

They Protect the Empire, of TAU!
