Eclipse-class Cruiser

The Eldar Eclipse-class Cruiser is arguably the most effective Attack craft carrier in the entire Gothic Sector due to the immense speed and maneuverability that is common to all Eldar craft, including the Eclipse. Unlike other races' carriers, which must stay well away from the shootouts along a battle's front lines, the Eclipse is able to dart in, unleash a Pulsar Lance barrage while launching its Darkstar Fighters and Eagle Bombers, and then retreat to safety. This tactic drastically shortens the time that the Eclipse's Attack craft must spend on approach to their target. Coupled with the incredible effectiveness of Eldar Attack craft, the Eclipse is almost the perfect convoy raider and was the bane of many an Imperial commander throughout the Gothic Sector.

Notable Eclipse-class Cruisers

 * Stardeath - The Stardeath was a particularly notorious raider throughout the Gothic sector, destroying at least fourteen convoys while accounting for the destruction of more than twenty eight merchant ships and Imperial Navy warships. The Stardeath's reign of terror would ultimately end when it was destroyed when a lucky Torpedo hit disabled its Holo-fields, allowing the Cobra-class Destroyers of the Skargul Patrol to eliminate it in the Graildark Nebula after a grueling three-day chase.
 * Silent Warrior - The Silent Warrior gained notoriety in the Port Maw region of the Gothic Sector during the Walpurgis Attack. In that engagement, its corsair crew boarded and captured the Dauntless-class Light Cruiser Vigilant, which was escorting several Penal Legion transports reinforce Imperial Guard forces fighting on Lethe.  The piratical Eldar forced the Vigilant's captain to transmit an all-clear signal, leaving the now-undefended transports to be destroyed by the Silent Warrior's Eagle Bombers as they left the planet's atmosphere en route to their rendezvous.
 * Asuryan's Chosen - The Asuryan's Chosen earned renown for its actions during the Gothic War.
 * Eliarenath's Gift - The Eliarenath's Gift earned renown for its actions during the Gothic War.
