	Unlike other races' carriers which must stay well away from the front lines - thereby increasing travel time before their Attack Craft reach their target - the Eclipse can dart in, launch a wave of [[Darkstar Fighter]]s and [[Eagle Bomber]]s, and then race to safety before the enemy can retaliate. When this speed is combined with the incredible effectiveness of Eldar Attack Craft and the power of the Eclipse's forward [[Pulsar Lance]], it is small wonder that the Eclipse was the bane of Imperial commanders throughout the Gothic Sector.

New page

Eldar Cruisers like their [[Eldar Light Cruiser|smaller cousins]] are fast glass cannons that rely on their Holofields for their enemies to miss their shots, like all Eldar vessels. Eldar Cruisers are usually operated by the [[Eldar Corsairs]] due to, in part, a lack of resources to maintain the esoteric Wraithbone structures of their Craftworld cousins. As such, these Cruisers are constructed from materials other than Wraithbone.

==Class==
===Basic===
====Shadow====
[[File:14414753_f1024.jpg|300px|right|thumb|This is when Eldar ships go from glass cannons to lightning bruisers.]]
The Shadow Class Cruiser is the most bog-standard class of Eldar cruisers. It is armed with four Torpedo tubes and 8 Starcannon Artilleries.

It is your typical type of Eldar capital ship due to the use of large solar sails, providing it with immense speed and manoeuvrability. Often they are seen outrunning the escort vessels of other race, they are equipped with a prow Weapons Battery and keel Torpedo tubes.

====Eclipse====

The Eclipse-class Cruiser is a class of Eldar Cruiser that is one of the most effective Attack Craft carriers in the entire Gothic Sector thanks in large part to the quickness and agility that is common to all Eldar craft.

Unlike other races' carriers which must stay well away from the front lines - thereby increasing travel time before their Attack Craft reach their target - the Eclipse can dart in, launch a wave of Darkstar Fighters and Eagle Bombers, and then race to safety before the enemy can retaliate. When this speed is combined with the incredible effectiveness of Eldar Attack Craft and the power of the Eclipse's forward Pulsar Lance, it is small wonder that the Eclipse was the bane of Imperial commanders throughout the Gothic Sector.

It is equipped with one heavy launch bay, six Starcannon Artilleries and three Pulsar Cannon Beams.
