User:Jochannon/Eldar mercenaries of Vigo Sector

When Karlees Navarre took command of Imperial forces in Vigo Sector, the Imperial fleet was in shambles. To bring his forces up to strength, he was forced to make do with converted merchant vessels, and hire Eldar Mercenaries.

Exiles, outcasts, and pirates, there were 37 Eldar ships which immediately joined Navarre's fleet; it is believed that Myrddin ap Ymerawdwyr was responsible for this large number.

The more-or-less acknolwedged commander of the combined Eldar fleet was Ariel Ysggad, until the discovery of Marathag Craftworld, when, with a few thousand other Eldar, he left the mercenary fleet to enter into a full alliance with the Imperial forces.

The strength of the Eldar fleet has fluctuated, as some ships leave or join Marathag, and new ships arrive.
