It is typical of Eldar capital ships due to the use of large solar sails, providing it with immense speed and manoeuvrability. Often they are seen outrunning the [[escort]] vessels of other race, they are equipped with a prow [[Weapons Battery]] and keel [[Torpedo]] tubes.{{Fn|1}}
There have been many successful raids and battles with the Shadow class and there are also many famous ones. The most famous during the [[Gothic War]] was the ''[[Black Star]]'' commanded by Prince [[Conanmaol]] of the [[Executioners (EldarCorsairs)|Executioners]]. He destroyed many Imperial capital ships as well as a huge amount of merchant shipping tonnage. It evaded destruction and still launches raids from the [[Graildark Nebula]]. Another vessel, the ''[[Fhianna Rethol]]'', was the first to be captured relatively intact and was being studied at [[Argante Station]] when a flotilla of Eldar vessels attacked and fired a salvo of [[torpedo]]es at it, destroying it utterly.{{Fn|1}}
