The Gal'leath-class Starship boasted a massive cargo capacity, extensive research facilities and, most importantly, the ability to serve as a mobile dock for semi-independent spacecraft. Its cargo bays were large enough to carry modular orbital units, waystations and even (more recently) message boats. It was the galleon of the Tau Empire and for nearly a hundred tau’cyr it was the only class of starship continually in production by Tau orbital stations. During this time, the Gal'leath underwent many iterations, from the Mark I to XXIII, and benefited from a succession of improvements and special adaptations with each upgrade.

During this time, the Gal'leath underwent many iterations, from the Mark I to XXIII, and benefited from a succession of improvements and special adaptations with each upgrade. However, the Tau Empire's first major conflicts with the Orks was the Gal'leath-class Starship's death knell. Whilst the equivalent in size to a Battleship, the Gal'leath was not a specialist warship and its weaponry was incapable of keeping Terror Ships and Kill Kroozers at a distance. As a result, work by the Earth Caste on the Il'fannor (Merchant)-class Starship was accelerated. When it finally went into full production, production of the now dated Gal'leath dropped by 85%.
