Like the [[Wraithship]], [[Eldar]] from the [[Craftworlds]] could craft their own Cruisers called Dragonships, in contrast to the [[Eldar Corsairs|Corsairs]] which lack such a base of manufacturing.

The Dragonship is not a specific design like most other named vessel classes, but rather is a generic name for an Asuryani vessel of a larger size. The vessels under the name Dragonship have a similar armament and adhere to the same tactics but can be varied within these classes.

Variants are given their own name within the Dragonship "class," which is always a variant including "Dragon." For example, Dragonships piloted largely or exclusively by Spirit Stones are called Ghostdragons and vessels designed to work far from supply lines are called Void Dragons. Less common variations such as different sail configurations, weapons and even sizes are known to exist, but in lower numbers.

====Starfall====

Like the smaller version of itself, the Starfall benefits from the wide arc Heavy Lascannons, being low maintenance as far as giving orders to keep it damaging the enemy fleet, with an occasional attack run made necessary to properly score hits with torpedo salvos.

Ghost-class Dragonships is essentially a bigger version of the Ghost-class Wraithship. The Ghost Dragonship has the best compliment of weapons like the Wraithship, since it combines the launch-in-any-direction squadrons with the Broadside-capable with Runic Targetting orders and four Heavy Lascannons.

This combination of weaponry means you can set auto to engage orders with a broadside attack profile at max range to keep the Ghost firing away while it uses its speed to dodge more fire than it would make head-on strafing runs or using head-on engage orders which you never want to do, since it causes ships to come to a stop when in range, in turn dropping your highly needed holofields.
