A non-scout use of the formidable Leshath hull, the Tigara is a focused vessel intended to achieve space superiority in situations that do not call for a larger flagship. Tigara cruisers are quite capable of maintaining control over an area of space with their assortment of advanced weaponry, supplementing its role as a mobile command by carrying its own screen of fighters for defense against a wide variety of possible enemies.

Though few races would seriously consider open warfare with the Minbari, there are many who repeatedly try to gain access to their technologies forcefully. The Federation covers a great deal of space and they have to be inventive to keep their possible enemies on their toes. The Teshlan variant of the Tigara is often used as a long-ranged patrol vessel, where its combination of high speed and aggressive firepower can prove to be a deterrent to any sane enemy. With more traditional weapon technology than that of the standard ship, the Teshlan also proves popular with fleet commanders who prefer a more standardized armament to their ships.
