Are you forgetting about the Salamanders that entered in there and shot up the place.

Or the Raven Guard that took back every Raven Guard prisoner the Dark Eldar took to a man?

What about Khaines Gate thats about to burst because of Daemonic entities beating on the other side?

If anything, the Eldar are arrogant because they can be. They lost their great empire and dont want to admit it.

Both Dark Eldar and normal Eldar are crapping their pants right now because they are about to probably die. Hilarious how much knowledge you lack on that battle, the whole ordeal behind that started off with Vect allowing the well-guarded webway gateway into Commorragh to open, which pulled a Salamander's ship in and Vect left it open since he knew more Imperial forces would come, especially Space Marines. Vect had done it to eliminate the rival nobles, and capture some Space Marines during the conflict to boost Commorragh's economy and indulgences.

Khaine's Gate is a viable threat, but still under Vect's control, the Imperial Palace and Terra has a higher chance of being swarmed by Daemons right now than Commorragh does. Even should that occur, the Dark Eldar will be likely to beat the threat with all of the numbers the Dark Eldar possess, not to mention that the Harlequins, even the Craftworld Eldar will do everything possible to prevent the Daemons invading Commorragh from pouring into the entire webway, there might even be a Grey Knights strike-force working elsewhere against such a daemonic incursion.

So essentially, the Dark Eldar are the most secure in the galaxy if anything right now, and under Vect's dictatorship the Dark Eldar are even stronger. It will take a serious threat, such as a full-scale civil war within Commorragh due to the deaths of all other sentient races in the galaxy which the Dark Eldar need to feed on, or if Commorragh comes under full-scale attack from the Imperium with the Primarchs leading them, which is highly unlikely.
