Their Jetpacks and cloaking fields allowed the XV15s to respond quickly and effectively to the Imperial threats. On the Tau world of Dal’yth Prime during the Damocles Gulf Crusade, XV15 Stealthsuit-clad Fire Warriors were used to protect forward Pathfinder spotter teams after Imperial assaults threatened them during their missions to pinpoint targets for long-range Seeker Missile strikes. Two XV15 Stealthsuits in action during the Damocles Gulf CrusadeĪn XV15 Stealthsuit and numerous XV8 Crisis Battlesuits deploying from high altitude during the Damocles Gulf Crusade 4 Ordo Xenos Departmento Analyticus Technical Specifications.This has led to their use becoming uncommon due to the XV25 now being the new standard Stealthsuit of the Tau Fire Caste. XV15 Stealthsuits are currently being phased out of mainstream use and being replaced by the XV25 Stealthsuit. What Stealthsuits lack in firepower, however, they more than make up for with the ability to move almost unseen by the enemy until the very last instant. XV15 Stealthsuits are significantly smaller than the XV8 Crisis Battlesuits, and, because of this, carry less weaponry.
However, this perfectly suits the XV15's role as the preferred Battlesuit of Tau infiltrators and saboteurs. The XV15 Stealthsuit is designed to be worn by a single member of the Fire Caste, and is the smallest of all the various Battlesuit variants of the Tau, as a Tau in an XV15 Stealthsuit is hardly larger than a Fire Warrior in standard Tau Combat Armour even though it offers far greater protection. Additional cloaking fields deaden sound and shield them from heat-detecting sensors, allowing them to penetrate deep into hostile regions before launching precisely timed ambushes. In order to pass unseen into enemy territory, Stealth Teams use light-bending disruption technology embedded in their sleek Battlesuits to camouflage themselves. Theirs is a secretive way of war, as they infiltrate enemy lines, seeking vulnerable targets to destroy. Suddenly appearing, as if stepping out from nowhere, a Stealth Team unleashes a hail of gunfire to cripple or eliminate their selected targets. They are the "lone wolves" of the Tau military, typically operating independently of their Hunter Cadre. Stealth Teams are essentially the Fire Caste's special operations units. Fire Warriors serving in a Stealth Team specialise in covert operations such as infiltration, sabotage, reconnaissance and ambush. The XV15 Stealthsuit is the smallest of all the various Tau Battlesuit variants, and is designed for use in operations requiring a high degree of stealth.
