==Shields of the Craftworlds== ===Battleship=== '''Void Stalker''' The largest ship available to the Eldar, the ''Void Stalker'' embodies this ancient race's methods of war, being heavily armed, lightning fast and somehow staying as nimble as an [[Imperial Navy|Imperial]] [[Imperial Navy Escort|Escort]]. It comes armed with mid-ranged Pulsar Lances as standard, and carries quad Launch Bays to launch Fighters and Bombers. ===Battlecruiser=== '''Phoenix''' The second-largest ship in the Eldar fleet, the ''Phoenix'' comes armed with front-mounted Pulsar Lances, Weapons Batteries, and a pair of Launch Bays for Fighter and Bomber support. Its weapons systems are somewhat close-ranged compared to an [[Imperial Navy Battlecruiser|Imperial Battlecruiser]], but in return, the Phoenix is ''ridiculously'' fast for its size, easily leaving Imperial Escorts in the dust. ===Cruiser=== Most Cruiser-sized Eldar ships are called "Dragonships". Rarely even sharing the same design, they do have similar armaments, and adhere to the same tactics during fleet actions. Regardless of the Dragonship type, each one is ''still'' faster than an Imperial Escort. The most common Dragonship variants and their armaments are as follows: '''Firestorm:''' Armed with Torpedo launchers and Pulsar Lances. '''Ghost:''' Equipped with Lascannon batteries and Launch Bays. '''Moonray:''' Armed with Pulsar Lances and Launch Bays. '''Starfall:''' Equipped with Lascannon batteries and Torpedo launchers. This is the equivalent of the Prismatic for the Dragonships. '''Eclipse''' A dedicated Carrier-craft, the ''Eclipse'' is armed with four Launch Bays, with only a pair of short-ranged Lances to defend itself with. Because of its high speeds, it's not as vulnerable as being a Carrier implies, but usually relegated to a defensive role, providing Fighter cover to intercept Ordinance. ===Light Cruiser=== Smaller compared to Dragonships, Wraithships are called as such because most of their systems are formed around a wraithbone core. The crew of these ships are often psychically attuned to this material, and as a result are able to control and maneuver the ships as if it were part of their own bodies. Due to Wraithships having the same sort of weapons configurations as the Dragonships, they also share variant names. '''Firestorm:''' Armed with Torpedo launchers and Pulsar Lances. '''Ghost:''' Equipped with Lascannon batteries and Launch Bays. '''Moonray:''' Equipped with Pulsar Lances and Launch Bays. '''Prismatic:''' Armed with Lascannon batteries and Torpedo launchers. ===Escort=== As with other races, Escorts come in two flavors, with the slightly larger but better-armed Frigate and the smaller but quicker Destroyers. '''Aconite''' Forgoing the Pulsar Lance and Torpedoes of the ''Hellbore'', the Aconite compensates by having lots and ''lots'' of Starcannons. A pair of Aconites working in conjunction can easily put out the firepower of a Cruiser. '''Hellebore''' Armed with a pair of Torpedo tubes, a Pulsar Lance, and Weapons Batteries, the ''Hellebore'' Frigate has a comparatively more flexible load-out compared to its contemporary. It is used mostly as a flanker, though it can also complement ''Eclipses'' when used as a heavy Escort. '''Hemlock''' The designated Lance-boat, the ''Hemlock'' mounts a front-facing Pulsar Lance, and several Starcannon batteries for defense. '''Nightshade''' A dedicated Torpedo Destroyer, the Nightshade is armed with a pair of Torpedo launchers and Starcannons batteries. '''Shadowhunter''' In the videogame, this is the only Escort available to Craftworlders. To compensate, the Destroyer class was split into two variants with different weapons loadouts: one with a Shadow Lance, the other with a Lascannon battery.
