The Tasarin-class battleship, known outside Astyria as the Aegatic-class, was a class of dreadnought battleships that was designed by Alukiri and Malle of Arimathea prior to the Great Astyrian War, in which they subsequently served in the navies of several Western Powers including Arimathea and Txekrikar. A near-identical design was also sold to Amalfi's Aquilifer Naval Engineering, which produced them for general export under the name Aegatic as part of the two firms' long-standing exchange programme. Aquilifer later supplied Alukiri and Malle with its Alaia Regia-class battleship, known in Astyria as the Barezh-class.

The class was named for the tasarin, a flower which is traditionally and symbolically linked to Arimathea having been transplanted there during the Ethlorek migrations.
