Sunstorm Squadron
Sunstorm Squadrons are military units of Eldar deployed on the battlefield that consist of formations of vehicles, with Fire Prisms being the primary craft amongst them. It is said that if such squadrons grow to a large size that they have enough firepower to scar the surface of a moon.
These squadrons take their name from the legendary Sunstorm that had been called by the father of the Eldar Gods, Asuryan. Among this ancient race's beliefs, it is said that a conflict erupted between Asuryan and Kaelis Ra, the Destroyer of Worlds. This conflict was one where neither side could gain supremacy over the other. The Father of the Eldar was, however, sorely pressed as the children were suffering and, as such, Asuryan rearranged the stars themselves in order for them to spell an omen for Kaelis Ra. These actions led to Asuryan harnessing the power and sent a mighty barrage of solar flares that mortally wound Kaelis Ra, though it did not destroy him. Thus, it is this act from which the Fire Prism Sunstorm Squadrons draw their reputation and power on the battlefield.[1]
