[[Image:dark eldar activity.jpg|300px|thumb|Dark Eldar warrior and galactic activity]]
The '''Dark Eldar''' are kindred to the [[Eldar]], an ancient and advanced race of elf-like humanoids. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed and technology, though they are often lacking in resilience and numbers. The Dark Eldar revel in piracy, enslavement and torture, and are sadistic in the extreme. Dark Eldar armies raiding parties make use of advanced anti-gravity skimmers to launch high speed raids on their enemy while still transporting a large number of their warriors. Due to their use of the galaxy-spanning interdimensional labyrinth known as the [[Webway]], they are extremely mobile, striking from seemingly nowhere, with little or no warning, and vanishing with their captives before significant military reaction can be mobilized.
The Dark Eldar are unique amongst the races in the sense that they do not occupy many planets, but rather one dark city called [[Commorragh]]. They are mainly pirates, though are sometimes used as mercenaries.
