The '''Eldar Space Fleet''' are the interstellar warships utilized by both [[Craftworld]]s and [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]] bands.{{Fn|1}}

~~The '''~~==Overview==Eldar ~~Space Fleet''' is a force of highly advanced craft which~~ Ships utilize [[Solar Sail]]s to capture stellar energy, allowing for swift movement. These ships are ~~lighter~~ renowned as graceful and ~~faster than other ships of~~ extremely maneuverable, allowing them to dart in and launch their ~~kind but also~~ attacks and then pulling back before enemy fleets have a ~~lot more delicate, partly relying on solar sails for propulsion and using the speed to avoid fire rather than taking heavy armour~~ chance to ~~absorb it~~react. ~~To this end~~ Eldar ships are usually protected by [[~~Eldar~~Holofield]] ~~ships are seen as fragile~~ s which distort targeting sensors, making them very hard to hit but ~~highly maneuverable~~offering less physical protection compared to the vessels of other races. This emphasize on speed and confusion fits the Eldar naval methods of war perfectly, particularly those of Eldar corsairs.{{Fn|1}}

While Eldar flotillas are devastating, especially in raids, if an enemy fleet can bring sufficient force to bear the lightly protected warships of the Eldar may be overwhelmed by weight of firepower. Thus strength in numbers and compact defense have always been the best tactics to use against Eldar fleets. Besides raiding, Eldar ships are often designed around escorting their [[Craftworld]]s and other civilian ships. Eldar fleets are often famous for the skill and experience of their crews and pilots.{{Fn|1}} They utilize highly trained psychic [[Void Dreamer|Helmsmen]] and Wayfarers from the [[Path of the Mariner]] to steer and navigate their vessels.{{Fn|2}} Besides the primary fleets of Craftworlds, smaller Shadowhunter patrols are also dispatched to scout ahead, disrupt the enemy, and generally do as they please.{{Fn|2}} For [[FTL|faster-than-light]] travel, Eldar ships utilize the parallel dimension known as the [[Webway]]. Craftworld docks have massive Webway portals that even the most gargantuan of Eldar vessel can travel through in order to quickly arrive at their destination. The largest vessels of the Eldar fleet also contain their own Webway portals that allow them to move smaller vessels and even ground troops into position quickly.{{Fn|2}} ==Vessels=====Battleships===
