a sophisticated, superior technology far beyond our understanding. This technology is a
 
little bit similar to the laser weapons used by other races, but instead of a high-energy laser
 
beam, these weapons fire a beam of some kind of a ''dark energy'', or ''dark matter''.
 
 
 
The source of this dark matter is yet to be found, but some scientists say, that it may be the
 
product of yet unknown activities in black holes, warp storms and other kinds of dangerous
 
celestial phenomena. This beam of dark matter (or energy) reacts catastrophically with any target it
 
hits, completely annihilating everything in a high energy blast, tearing apart heavily armed vehicles
 
like toys, and vapourizing enemy soldiers in a microsecond.
 
 
 
The Dark Lance is a long-range heavy weapon. It is extremely effective against heavily armed
 
vehicles, as their thick armour provides absolutely no protection against the energy beam.
 
In the game, the threat caused by this weapon is emphasized by the [[Lance Weapons]] special rule,
 
that reduces the effective Armor values of heavily armed vehicles.
 
 
 
Although the general version of this weapon can be carried by [[Dark Eldar Warrior]]s and other troops,
 
it is common practice to fit Dark Lances on Dark Eldar vehicles. [[Raider]]s are usually armed with
 
a single Dark Lance, but [[Ravager]]s were modified to carry three heavy weapons, either of which can
 
be a Dark Lance or a [[Disintegrator]].
