Editing Elven Imperial Fleet (section)

==Goals==
The primary goal of the EIF is the protection and promotion of elven interests throughout wildspace. Essentially, a weird mixture of military, communications hub and diplomatic network.

The military applications are the most obvious. The EIF's primary job is to stomp on anyone stupid enough to pick a fight with the elves, whether spaceborne or ground-based. [[Pirate]]s, [[slaver]]s, [[orc]]s, [[goblinoid]]s, [[neogi]], [[illithid]]s, [[beholder]]s, [[scro]], if it threatens the elves, the EIF hunts it down and kicks its teeth in... theoretically, at least. Thus, they tend to be a stabilizing force in Wildspace, keeping the various would-be raiders and bandits of the stars at a manageable level. 

Officially, the EIF avoids meddling with groundlings, even groundling elf nations. But... secretly, sometimes they are called upon (or feel themselves called upon, at least) to contain groundling threats to spacefaring elves, such as sabotaging efforts by a powerful, evil nation to extend its reach into space.

The EIF's secondary job is maintaining a flow of communications between the scattered elven nations of [[Wildspace]]. The Fleet maintains ambassadors in the courts of major elven kingdoms and nations to communicate the wishes of the Admirals to the sovereigns. Likewise, ambassadors from the elven nations invited to Lionheart to communicate the wishes of their sovereigns to the Admirals. In this way, the Fleet facilitates negotiations between elven nations in matters of trade, mutual defense, migrations, and even arranged political marriages.
