{{TauPortal}}[[File:Custodian.jpg |thumb|right|Custodian Class Battleship<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}]]The '''Or'es El'leath''' class [[battleship ]] is the largest ship of the [[Kor'Or'Vesh]], the newest generation of [[Tau ]] ships. Also named the '''Custodian''' it retains the heavy carrier ability of its predecessor, the [[Gal'leath Class Battleship|Gal'leath]], and adds an array of port and starboard [[Tau_Fleet_Equipment#Railgun_Batteries|Railgun batteriesBatteries]] and [[Tau_Fleet_Equipment#Ion_Cannons|Ion Cannons]], has improved engine output and shielding capabilities and sports [[Tau_Fleet_Equipment#Deflector|Deflector]] technology which significantly improves the armour value of the prow.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
The elegant design of the Or'es El'leath causes it to lack the durability of other [[Battleship]]s, being more akin to a [[Cruiser|Grand Cruiser]]'s]] hull value.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
