Summary
The Epithal is a Gallente Hauler specialized in transporting Planetary Industry (PI) commodities. Besides its enormous PI cargo bay (which can only be used to transport PI commodities) it also has a small "normal" hold, and a Command Center hold capable of storing six command centers at a time.
Just like with other specialized haulers, the size of the PI commodities cargo hold cannot be increased by fitting modules (e.g. Expanded Cargoholds) to the ship; these will only affect the ship's "normal" cargo hold.

Tactics
Hull Buffer Tank
Like other Gallente specialized haulers such as the Miasmos and the Kryos, the Epithal uses a specialized hold as its main hold instead of a cargohold. This fact, alongside the strong hull hitpoints that Gallente ships already get, means that the Epithal can fit a decently sized hull buffer tank using Transverse Bulkhead rigs and Reinforced Bulkhead modules, and it will not suffer any negative effects on the size of its specialized PI Commodities hold and Command Center hold, because those modules only decrease cargohold size. An Epithal with only a simple hull tank buffer can achieve an EHP over 14,000. While this isn't the largest buffer tank a T1 hauler can achieve, the advantage is that it leaves nearly all of the Powergrid available for fitting, which can include a 50MN Compact MWD and an Improved Cloaking Device II, so the Epithal can also use the cloak trick while fielding a decent tank, which is a challenging combination for most other T1 Haulers.
