The '''Hornet''' is an [[Eldar]] single-seat attack craft used on reconnaissance missions and hit-and-run attacks. Operating ahead of the main Eldar host, Hornets typically help spearhead armoured assaults and operate alongside [[Eldar Jetbike]]s and [[Vyper]]s.{{Fn|1}}
It was thought by agents of the [[Imperium]]'s [[Ordo Xenos]] that the Hornet originated on [[Saim-Hann]], which had used large numbers of Hornets to support its [[Wild Rider]] hosts, and then spread to other [[Craftworld]]s. However, the incident on [[Betalis III]] has forced the [[Inquisition]] to rethink this theory. The craft's speed, maneuverability and size also perfectly compliments the raiding activities of [[Eldar Corsair]]s, and are very popular among these piratical bands.{{Fn|1}}
