==Technical Information==
Operating in squadrons of one to three craft, the Hornet epitomize the use of speed and concentration of force common to Eldar warfare. [[Star Engine]]s combined with its aerodynamic structure give this craft amazing straight-line speed, up to 600km/h, and allow for limited short-range atmospheric flight. Highly-maneuverable, Hornet pilots will have typically served time piloting jetbikes and Vypers beforehand, making them masters of high-speed combat.{{Fn|1}} The Hornet is armoured in [[Wraithbone]] and features Guiding Stones and a gravitic steering plate.{{Fn|2}}
The Hornet achieves true versatility in its ability to be fitted to engage any type of target. Against infantry forces twin [[Shuriken Cannon]]s or [[Scatter Laser]]s provide appropriate firepower, while twin [[Starcannon]]s or [[Eldar Missile Launcher]]s can destroy heavier opponents. For precision anti-tank firepower a Hornet can be equipped with twin [[Pulse Laser]]s or [[Bright Lance]]s. Some Hornets are also upgraded to include a [[Holo-Field]], [[Spirit Stone]]s and [[Vectored Engines]].{{Fn|1}}
