'''Lugganath''' (or ''Light of the Fallen Sun'' in [[Eldar Lexicon|the language of the Eldar]]) is an [[Eldar]] [[Craftworld]]. It has ties with the [[Harlequin]]s, for the Lugganath Eldar hope to abandon this galaxy and start a new civilization within the [[webwayWebway]]. They are perceived as little better then [[Eldar Corsair|Corsairs]] by most other Craftworlds due to their tendency to host Corsair fleets and close ties to the Harlequins.{{Fn|7}} Because of this, Lugganath's Eldar are considered to be unusually roguish when compared to the populations of other Craftworlds.{{Fn|15}}
Lugganath's symbol is the Black Sun, a reference to the lost glory of the original [[System|star systems]] of the [[Eldar Empire]]. It is said that if a viewer were to look far enough into the void he would see the last light of those dead stars — a metaphor that the Eldar of Lugganath find fitting.{{Fn|7}}
At some point, the [[Farseer]]s of Lugganath predicted the rise of the [[Ork]] [[Freebooter|pirate]]-[[Big Mek|engineer lord]] [[Gorkog Chrometeef]], prophesying that, should Chrometeef succeed in his invasion of an unnamed [[Imperium|Imperial]] [[Industrial World]], that he would become a menace to merchant shipping across three [[Sector|sub-sectors]]. This, in turn, would provoke an Imperial anti-[[xenos]] [[Crusade]] in response that would lead to the Craftworld's destruction. Marshalling its forces, along with allied Corsairs warbands led by [[Corsair Prince|Prince]] [[Eidear]] and [[Corsair Prince|Princess]] [[Isbeil]], the eldar were able to bring down Chrometeef's new flagship, the ''[[Beastmother]]'', and kill the greenskin before he could launch his campaign, though not without significant loss of life.{{Fn|12}}
Some point after the formation of the [[Great Rift]] Lugganath sent forces to [[War Zone Laevenir]] to aid their kin against the [[Tyranids]].{{Fn|13}} During the [[Fourth Tyrannic War]], Lugganath's forces invaded the besieged [[Bastior Sub-sector]] with allied [[Corsairs]] from the [[Sunblitz Brotherhood]].{{Fn|15}}
