Changes

Certain individuals, like Captain [[Gabriel Angelos]] of the [[Blood Ravens]] have had friendlier contact with certain Eldar. The Blood Ravens chapter in particular has had unclear contacts with the Eldar throughout its history. This is for obvious reasons kept secret by all parties involved. Ironically, the secrecy surrounding the Blood Ravens' actions with the Eldar could possibly be one contributing factor to the chapter being largely unaware of its history.

Unlawful friendlier contact on a larger scale can happen, as some Imperial governors simply ignore Imperial law if the potential rewards are great enough and will trade with some xeno-races. Many items of xeno-origin are smuggled into and within the Imperium. Exotic weapons, tomes of knowledge, poisons, certain xeno-devices to dispose of one's rivals, etc., seem to be craved by certain members of the jaded elite and commonly used in some quarters. A known example is the '''Jokaero death spider''' which uses zarthax, one of the deadliest poisons in the galaxy¹. Certain Imperial factions use xeno-weaponry on occasion.
