→Military alliances
==Military alliances==
Despite all the fear and hatred, on certain occasions short-termed military alliances have been established with the '''Eldar'''. These temporary alliances are somewhat uncommon but not unheard of. They are made against a common enemy like the forces of [[Chaos]], [[Tyranids]] or [[Orks]]. The [[Imperial Navy]], units of the [[Imperial Guard]], and even detachments of Space Marines have, on certain occasions, fought beside Eldar forces. A fine example for this is the [[Gothic War]], during which the Imperium allied itself with the Eldar of the An-Iolus Craftworld against the forces of [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Abaddon the Despoiler]]. The [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]] was also another notable instance of Imperial/Eldar co-operation, notably between [[Ursarkar Creed]] of [[Cadia]] and [[Eldrad Ulthran]] of the [[Craftworld ]] [[Ulthwe]]. No temporary alliances with the [[Tau]] have been made, but short-termed truces have happened.
