Each XV95 stands more than three times the height of the [[Space Marine]] and shares a similar design to the [[XV22]] Battlesuit worn by [[Tau Commander|Commander]] [[Shadowsun]]. Nigh undetectable thanks to its overlapping stealth fields generated by its [[Stealth Drone]]s (with which the pilot forms an unnaturally strong bond while on extended missions behind enemy lines) and seemingly appearing out of nowhere thanks to a vast array of countermeasures, the XV95 will unleash a torrent of heavy firepower before retreating back into the confusion and chaos of battle. Enemies that attempt to retaliate will find that they are unable to lock their weapons onto the Battlesuit due to its advanced electronic warfare suite, and the Ghostkeel is also capable of creating holographic decoys if it comes under attack. The XV95 was primarily designed to operate behind enemy lines and spread panic and confusion. Indeed it is the epitome of the Tau war ideology known as the [[Mont'ka]]. {{Fn|1a}}
The pilot of the Ghostkeel is supported by an integrated AI that helps him in operating the Ghostkeel’s many complex systems and monitors his physical and psychological wellbeing during prolonged operations. As Ghostkeel pilots spend long periods of time isolated in enemy territory, many form uncommonly strong bonds with their battlesuit AI. It is known that in some cases these strange warriors become so introverted that they prefer the company of their suit’s AI to that of other Tau.{{Fn|2}}
