Kabal of the Crimson Woe

The Kabal of the Crimson Woe is a small band of Eldar---nefarious alien corsairs and pirates---that operates throughout
the Calixis Sector. The Kabal strike at shipping with impunity,
seizing loot and taking prisoners, leaving rescuers to find
naught but deserted ships floating through space, nary a
bloodstain or warning message to provide evidence of what
has passed. They have also been known to raid settlements
on frontier worlds, carrying off colonists as slaves, never to
be seen again. The Kabal take particular delight in striking
at targets right under the noses of their enemies, attacking
heavily defended planets or ships under escort.
The Kabal have been known to undertake work as
mercenaries, attacking targets of interest to other parties. The
Kabal can raid settlements or attack spacecraft, operating as
discreetly or overtly as required. Far more useful is their talent
for snatching particular individuals as part of their raids, using
an attack as a diversion, or simply ensuring that the chosen
victim vanishes. These cruel Eldar have a special fondness
and aptitude for torture, and they can be contacted to obtain
information from prisoners. Those with qualms about such
activities are best advised not to ask how the Kabal have
come to possess such accurate information, of course.
Dealings with the Kabal is never a clean-cut transaction,
however, as they have a habit of attacking other targets of
opportunity along the way, or turning on their employers
after the payment has been made. It takes a canny and
ruthless individual to maintain the upper-hand when dealing
with the Eldar, and woe betide any who let slip that they are
attempting to deceive the Kabal. A special punishment indeed
is reserved for those unlucky few who have tried.
