Biel-tan is an Eldar Craftworld with a penchant for war. Unlike other Craftworlds, who are generally ruled by Farseers, Biel-tan is led by a council of Exarchs, Eldar who are trapped on the Path of the Warrior. This gives them a rather idiosyncratic view of the world and how to deal with it -- in particular, their goal is nothing less than a re-founding of the ancient Eldar empire, and to do that, they need to cleanse the galaxy of all the upstarts squatting on their planets.
They perform this cleansing by assembling an army of Aspect Warriors and Exarchs known as "the Swordwind" to raid a planet, scour the inhabitants, and leave before anyone has time to respond. They prefer to target planets that have just been colonized, as the defenders will have had less time to get stuck in -- in fact, many Explorator Fleets have discovered planets that still contain the corpses of previous settlers. This is why Orks are their most hated enemy; once Orks land on a planet, their spores will start to spread, and if they aren't wiped out quickly, they will be impossible to dislodge. Biel-tan armies will prioritize the eradication of Orks above all other foes, even allying with non-Eldar if that means the Orks die faster -- though they have no problem turning on their one-time allies once the Orks are defeated.
Biel-tan's greatest priority is protecting Exodite worlds, because they believe that the Exodites will be the foundation upon which the new Eldar empire will be built, with their planets used as staging areas for re-colonization and expansion efforts.
Unsurprising they're the largest Craftworld with crazy high brith rates compare to other Craftworlds.
