__NOTOC__{{Fleet List Linkbox}}{{ElPortEldarPortal}}[[Image:EldarFleet.jpg|thumb|right|300px|An Eldar fleet{{Fn|3}}]]The '''Eldar Space Fleet''' is are the interstellar warships utilized by both [[Craftworld]]s and [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]] bands.{{Fn|1}} ==Overview==[[File:BFGEldarFleet.png|thumb|right|300px|[[Eldar]] Space Fleet{{Fn|4}}]]Eldar Ships utilize [[Solar Sail]]s to capture stellar energy, allowing for swift movement. These ships are renowned as graceful and extremely maneuverable, allowing them to dart in and launch their attacks and then pulling back before enemy fleets have a chance to react. Eldar ships are usually protected by [[Holofield]]s which distort targeting sensors, making them very hard to hit but offering less physical protection compared to the vessels of other races. This emphasize on speed and confusion fits the Eldar naval methods of war perfectly, particularly those of Eldar corsairs.{{Fn|1}} While Eldar flotillas are devastating, especially in raids, if an enemy fleet can bring sufficient force to bear the lightly protected warships of highly advanced craft which the Eldar may be overwhelmed by weight of firepower. Thus strength in numbers and compact defense have always been the best tactics to use against Eldar fleets. Besides raiding, Eldar ships are lighter often designed around escorting their [[Craftworld]]s and faster than other civilian ships .  Eldar fleets are often famous for the skill and experience of their kind but also a lot more delicatecrews and pilots,{{Fn|1}} their highly trained psychic Helmsmen and Wayfarers walk the [[Path of the Mariner]].{{fn|2}} Larger ships, like the [[Eclipse Class Cruiser]] are piloted by the captain-equivalent [[Craftmistress]] (or Craftmaster), and her crew including her second-in-command known as the ''Lann Caihe'' or [[Water Bringer]], partly relying on solar sails who is responsible for propulsion tempering the Craftmistress in her command from the temptation of excess that the power she commands brings, and communications officers known as [[Thought Talker]]s,{{Fn|5}} and using sometimes psychic navigators known as [[Void Dreamer]]s are consulted to determine safe [[Webway]] and [[Warp]] paths.{{Fn|6}} Besides the speed primary fleets of Craftworlds, smaller Shadowhunter patrols are also dispatched to avoid fire rather scout ahead, disrupt the enemy, and generally do as they please.{{Fn|2}} For [[FTL|faster-than taking heavy armour -light]] travel, Eldar ships utilize the parallel dimension known as the [[Webway]]. Craftworld docks have massive Webway portals that even the most gargantuan of Eldar vessel can travel through in order to quickly arrive at their destination. The largest vessels of the Eldar fleet also contain their own Webway portals that allow them to absorb itmove smaller vessels and even ground troops into position quickly.
