|Name=Lugganath
|Meaning=Light of Fallen Suns{{Fn|1}}
Other [[Asuryani]] perceive the Eldar of Lugganath as little better than the corsairs they associate with, striking as they do suddenly from the Webway{{Fn|16}}, unusually roguish when compared to the populations of other Craftworlds.{{Fn|15}} Despite their proximity and similarity in strategy, the Lugganath bear no love for the [[Drukhari]] of [[Commoragh]], and the two clash often.{{Fn|16}}
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|77a}}
==History==
When Lugganath was ravaged by the disease known as the [[Brittle Coma]], its [[Farseer]]s looked into the realm of [[Nurgle]] in the [[Warp]] to attempt to find the captive [[Isha]] and also end the deadly plague. They knew that they would certainly die in the attempt, but believed their souls would be drawn into their [[Spirit Stones]] upon death. At first, their astrally projected forms were able to penetrate into the [[Garden of Nurgle]], but as they gazed upon the manse of Nurgle in the distance they were beset on all sides by hordes of [[Plaguebearers]]. The battle raged for days, devastating the garden. However, in the material world, the physical forms of the Seers began to shake and convulse, succumbing to the very plague they hoped to overcome. The souls of the Seers were eventually claimed by the [[Immaterium]], sucked into Nurgle's realm and forced to transform into wailing trees that bare [[Nurgling]]-fruit.{{Fn|6}}
In mid-764.[[M34]], {{Fn|7b}} Lugganath was victim to a [[The Shattering|major attack]] from a [[psychically]]-shielded fleet of the [[Emperor's Children]]. The devotees of [[Slaanesh]] cornered hundreds of Eldar at the '''Plaza of Reflection''' where their sonic weapons collapsed the craftworld's architecture, in a plot crushing much of the craftworld's populace, and prompting the use of [[Hemlock Wraithfighter]]s.{{Fn|7b}} The battle itself was engineered by the [[Harlequin]]s of [[Sylandri Veilwalker]] who stated that it would prevent greater deaths in the future. Though Lugganath was devastated in the attack, it was ultimately able to defeat the Emperor's Children invasion.{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|11}}
In 421.[[M41]], the Craftworld's inner council was massacred by [[Steel Fang (Wych)|Steel Fang]].{{Fn|8}}
