Shadow-class Cruiser

The Shadow-class Cruiser is typical of all Eldar capital ships. Its multiple solar sails give it tremendous speed and manoeuvrability, able to outrun even the escort ships of other races. The Shadow class combines tremendous speed, manoeuvrability, and offensive firepower into a single, highly-effective package. The bane of Imperial shipping in the Koronus Sector, Shadow-class cruisers normally form the centre of a Corsair strike fleet.
