* WarriorPrince: He is the leader if Eldar Pirates in Gothic Sector.

[[folder:The Eldar]]

* FactionCalculus: The Eldar fall squarely into the Cannons. They specialize in lightning fast strikes. They are most certainly the most maneuverable of the factions, only with Chaos coming close to matching them. However their ships are very squishy in comparison to the other main four factions. So much so that while even Chaos can pull off decent ramming maneuvers, its a suicidal tactic for most Eldar ships to attempt. Another issue is all their guns are forward facing, thus they end up being micro intensive. This is combined with their holofield mechanic, meaning they don't have shields unless they move. A good player can dance around their opponents, knocking out engines and leaving them free to whittle down their enemies from behind while taking minimal damage.

* {{Pride}}: A famous trait of their race is their legendary pride and arrogance. During their debut trailer, the Eldar admiral has this to say after decisively destroying an ork fleet:

* FactionCalculus: The Imperial Navy is good at mid to close range engagements, thanks to it's large macro battery broadsides, common use of torpedo prow armament, and very good armor and shields. However it struggles at long range engagements, due to it's heavy reliance on Macro weapons, lack of carrier vessels until higher ship tiers (which tend to also be very expensive point wise), and moderate/mediocre speed. Overall, the Navy plays as the general "middle ground" fleet. Adaptable to what they may face but not able to equal those who specialize in one particular tactic or another. They are also the only fleet with ships that have default access to the Nova Cannon, a powerful, long range, forward facing weapon that fires a massive shell at just below the speed of light, before detonating in a massive thousands of km wide blast at a preset distance.

** '''The Mark of Tzeentch''':
** '''The Mark of Nurgle''':
** '''The Mark of Slaanesh''':

** '''The Adeptus Astartes''': The Space Marines, the Emperor's Elite soldiers. Limited in number, but extremely skilled at combat, especially planetary assaults and onboard vessels. Ships with the Adeptus Astartes favor, carry a small force of them on board, greatly improving the ship's ability to repel boarders by improving it's Troop Value. They are also being highly skilled a Boarding Actions themselves, or can even launch Deep Striking Terminator armored elite squads onto the enemy ship, granting them additional Assault rolls during these actions.

** '''The Inquisition''': The shadowy operatives of the Imperium who seek to guard it from all threats. Be they hostile aliens, heresies within the Imperium, or the powers of Chaos attacking from the Warp. In game, ships which bear their favor gain an elite Inquisitorial retinue, improving all crew skills by +1, and allows the use of the Emperor's Tarot cards, alerting the fleet to unknown dangers by revealing one unidentified enemy ship true appearance.
** '''The Adeptus Mechanicus''': The cult of the Machine. Founded on Mars, the Mechanicus' Tech-Priest are the chief holders of technological knowledge of the Imperium. Chief among their role, is the finding of Standard Template Constructs (STC) from before the Age of Strife, back when Humanity's technology was at it's pinnacle, and the production of equipment for the Imperium at large. Ships with their favor receive even further extensive modifications and improvements than others, receiving an additional Skill and Upgrade slot each.
** '''The Imperial Navy''': The primary military power in charge of the Imperium's void and aerial engagements, the Navy patrols sectors of space, or helps provide the fleet for the Imperiums many Crusades. The events of the game focus on Battlefleet Gothic, the fleet in charge of protecting the Gothic sector and role in the Gothic War/12th Black Crusade of Abaddon the Despoiler. Ships which bear the Navy's favor are considered decorated and the pride of their fleets. As such, the ship's captain will not become insubordinate, and Cobra-Class Destroyer Escorts can be called in to assist and reinforce the fleet during battle.

* ColdBloodedTorture: This is apparently what the aforementioned test entailed. "Apparently," because [[NothingIsScarier don't see what happens]], the equipment in the room he was tested in looks more like medical equipment than torture tools, and the purpose was to discern

* GlassCanon: Their ships are fast and maneuverable, and have access to destructive weaponry. Unfortunately, they have weak armor.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: It does not take long for him to admit your potential and in the canonical storyline, he agrees to a temporary truce with the Eldar on the notion that Battlefleet Gothic will need all the help it can get to wait out the storm and survive long enough to receive reinforcements.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [ValuesDissonance For an Inquisitor]], anyway. After conducting Spire's test of purity he explains how they needed to be certain, citing [[TheCorruptor the nature of their enemy]] as the reason, and his tone makes it clear this is an apology.

* ColdBloodedTorture: Subjected to this during the prologue, courtesy of Inquisitor Horst, in order for his faith and purity to be tested. He fortunately passes.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He is stated to originate from a world that rebelled against the Imperium, which is why he is subjected to the above ColdBloodedTorture .
