The Eldarian military consists of twelve battalions, each composed of a set of platoons designated A through Z. However, the 13th Independent operates on its own, conducting special missions under the governmental decree of Eldar's supreme commander. Their behind-the-scenes operations make them unique even among Eldar's own forces, and the heavy losses they often sustain have caused many an Eldarian to fear them as the "Death Squadron." The division is manned by the best that Eldar has to offer, and their work always puts them deep in the midst of danger.
