I'm hoping to draw at least one more person in for this, since only two people have voted including me. Here is some expansion on the Eldar in hopes that that will draw more contributers.

Just to add something to the Eldar background other than Khaleal's Craftworld.

"The Eldar presance in the Eressa sector is an old one. Originally it was mearly one or two planets and several outposts that mearly served as a place for Eldar who wanted to leave the Eldar core worlds could go, as well as keep tabs on the various Xenos that developed there. Save on occasions when these Xenos threatened the Eldar they were more or less left alone. Those that interfered with or attacked the Eldar were typically mercilessly wiped out.

As the end of the Eldar Civilization drew near, more and more Eldar fled to Maiden Worlds to escape the increasing depravity and debachery engulfing the Eldar. Many came to the Eressa system, settling in the North to Northwest areas primarally on Maiden worlds seeded millennia ago, or on the Craftworld Loucetius. For thousands of years the Eldar were content with life in the sector, it was far enough removed from the troubles of the Galaxy, and while one or two small colonies of Humans existed in the sector, they never troubled the Eldar inhabitants. However, all that changed with the coming of the Machairan Crusade. Conquering the system, the Macharian Crusade killed many of the Inhabitants of the Exodite Worlds who were able to hide or rescued by the Craftworld. Seeing Maiden worlds stolen and bloodily conqured by the upstart Mon-Keigh proved the final straw for the Isolationist Eldar of the Craftworld Loucetius. Warned by their Farssers that a oppertunity for vengance was close at hand, the Craftworld waited until the outbreak of the Macharian Heresy to act. Once the rebellions began the Craftworld struck, without the full support of the Imperium and with other enemy forces to worry about, the Craftworld quickly reconqured several Maiden Worlds, restoring them to their Exodite inhabitants.

By the end of the Heresy, the Imperial reclemation forces found the Eldar worlds tough and ferociously defended. The Eldar had lost their worlds once and were determined to not lose them again. Furthermore, the actions of the Imperium an d the Maiden Worlds they still controled led the Eldar of Craftworld Loucetius to declare that the Mon-keigh must be cleansed from the sector."
