{{Main|XV-46 Vanguard Void Battlesuit}}
The '''XV-46 Vanguard Void Battlesuit''' are fairly bulky battlesuits but not as large as the Crisis and Broadside Battlesuits. Their primery function is the exploration of derelict starships. There is a more advanced and heavily protected variant of this battlesuit used by Shas'el ranked Tau or higher called '''XV-46-4 Vanguard Commander Variant Void Battlesuit'''.{{Fn|9}}
==Ballistic Suits==
'''Ballistic Suits''' are a specialized variant of Tau Battlesuits. These suits are massive vehicles akin to walking tanks, designed to deliver heavy firepower. Ballistic Suits are not very manuverable, as they are too large to be equipped with jet packs. This excludes them from the type of highly mobile fluid warfare the Tau are known for. Instead, they are used to take down heavy enemy engines such as [[Super-Heavy Tank]]s and [[Titan]]s. Ballistic Suits are also deployed against enemies that greatly outnumber standard Tau [[Hunter Cadre]]s.{{Fn|14}}
