These portals, portable enough for an Eldar [[Farseer]] to carry, can be deployed at any location and open directly into the Webway, allowing for the rapid deployment of forces into the material realm at shocking speeds. Often the troops deployed will be from an orbiting fleet or even their [[Craftworld]] of origin. A Wraithgate's only limitation is the size of the unit which may traverse it; some may be large enough to allow a [[Falcon]] through, while others are restricted to light vehicles no bigger than a [[Vyper]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
