Yet sometimes an Eldar Corsair may display the greatest compassion to their defeated enemies if it pleases them to do so. The so-called Duke of Asteri Reach, Avele Swifteye, commands a cOrsair fleet out of Biel-Tan craftworld, and has continued Biel-Tan's pledge to protect the Maiden worlds from settlement by lesser races. On the world of Yrthal (a Maiden world), Avele destroyed half a dozen Human settlements before the fledgling Imperial colony surrendered. He took the surviving forty thousand colonists to a nearby habitable moon, keeping them in stasis aboard his ships while they shuttled back and forth in short warp jumps, and promised that no further hostilities would be taken against them if they did not stray back to Yrthal.

-p. 53, 4th edition Eldar Codex



In Gav Thorpe's short story The Curse of Shaa-Dom, a White Seer used a ship that was shield and that could travel in the warp. Specifically it could pass through the walls of the Webway into the warp and then move in the warp, though if I recall in the story it effectively then took a shortcut to re-enter elsewhere in the Webway.

As all eldar are psychic and any one of them can become a farseer if they choose that path, they've never needed a navigator gene to produce a specialised navigator psyker.

Their psychic abilities allowed them to navigate it themselves. With slannesh and the current tumultuous storms of the warp, it's hard for them to navigate but not impossible.

The accuracy of a warp jump is also dependent on a lot of factors, the most common being the further away the target is, the less accurate you are.

So shorter warp jumps are fairly simple, comparatively safe and pretty accurate. Thus the corsairs performing them regularly.


using the warp to travel for the eldar though would be akin to hobby boating in a home made boat, while the web way was a cruise liner of absolute comfort and luxury.

Pre-Fall when they did what they pleased and the web way was intact and prolific, they didn't need to use the warp except as an extreme sport for fun.


These days they'll use the web way when they can and warp jump when they must.
