Sunstorm Squadron

From Lexicanum

Jump to: navigation, search

Sunstorm Squadrons are military units of Eldar deployed on the battlefield which consist of formations of vehicles with Fire Prisms being the primary craft amongst them. It is said that if such squadrons grew to such large size than they had enough power to scar the surface of a moon with their firepower.

These squadrons take their name from the legendary Sunstorm which had been called by the father of the Eldar gods, Asuryan. Amongst this ancient races beliefs, it is said that an ancient 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 which mortally wounded Kaelis Ra though it did not destroy him. Thus, it is this act that the Fire Prism Sunstorm Squadrons draw their reputation and power from on the battlefield.1
