Hemlock-class Destroyer

The Hemlock-class Destroyer is a relatively simple Eldar ship that was once described by Admiral Grove as "...more of a mobile gun than a proper starship". This description sums up the Hemlock well, as its deadly Pulsar Lance draws so much energy that even with the famously efficient Eldar engine technology, the Hemlock can barely power both its weapons and its drive systems. This leaves little power for anything else, including life support, and the resulting difficulty in sustaining a habitable internal environment leads to Hemlocks having skeleton crews that are too small to effectively repel boarding actions...if the enemy can get close enough to initiate one.
