The '''XV107 R'varna Battlesuit''' is an advanced [[Tau]] [[Battlesuit]] design. A development of the [[XV104 Riptide]], it sacrifices mobility for heavier armor and firepower in the form of two [[Pulse Submunition Cannon]]s.{{Fn|1}}
The [[Earth Caste]] researchers of [[Ke'lshan]] were almost forced to abandon development of the R'varna due to its monumental cost, constructing only three prototypes. Instead, [[Sho'Aun|Fio'O Ke'lshan Sho'Aun]] turned to the [[Ethereal Council]]'s demand for improved stealth and infiltration units, appropriating resources intended for the R'varna project to create a new [[Stealth Battlesuit|Stealth Suit]]. However renewed [[Tyranid]] attacks against the Ke'lshan [[Sept]] were to reveal O'Sho'aun's deception to the Council, as the trio of prototypes held back the Tyranid horde at Ke'lshan's primary city.{{Fn|1}}
