| - The Sky Ray Missile Defence Gunship is a vehicle used by the Tau; it is a variant of the Hammerhead Gunship. The Sky Ray carries 6 Seeker missiles and 2 networked Markerlights on it's main turret, it's secondary weapons can either be a pair of Burst cannons, Gun Drones or a Smart Missile system. The Sky Ray is often used in an anti-aircraft role, but is not limited to this and can also be used to counter light enemy armour. The Sky Rays missiles can either be guided by it's own markerlights or the markerlights of other units in the field, usually Pathfinders.
- Most of the space within the tank is taken up by capacitors for its weapon systems, additional ammunition, and non-combat systems such as climate control and communications. As such, it cannot carry troops. The Sky Ray does have two crew members, which are the pilot and the weapon operator. Override systems are also in place inside the Sky Ray to allow any crew member to take over another's role in case of casualties. A Sky Ray's primary sensors are located in an array under the tank's forward housing in the vehicle's nose.

The vehicle also features a hatch on each side along with a door in the rear to allow the crew inside to disembark if necessary. The armour of the vehicle is made from a dense nano-crystalline metal, named Fio'tak in the Tau Lexicon, that is light, malleable, strong and corrosive resistant; reducing the weight of the vehicle whilst also providing excellent protection.
