SaimHann

Saim-Hann is one of the Eldar Craftworlds in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. It is renowned for its emphasis on speed and mobility and is commonly described as the People of the Hunt. The craftworld is typically depicted as a nomadic, fast-moving society that travels the galaxy in a fleet of swift warships and grav-vehicles, emphasizing agility and initiative in all things.

Culture and technology center on the hunt. Saim-Hann society prioritizes speed, boldness, and decisive action, with a warrior caste at its core. The fighting force is built around jetbikes and other fast, light vehicles, supported by lighter grav-tanks and infantry. The emphasis on rapid, hit-and-run warfare makes their detachments effective at exploiting mobility to cripple opponents before they can organize a response.

Organization and philosophy echo the Eldar focus on fate and caution, but Saim-Hann places a premium on swift execution. Seers and spirit-guides influence campaigns, yet the practical edge comes from fast, audacious assaults that capitalize on the element of surprise. The craftworld itself remains highly mobile, preferring movement over sedentary settlement and maintaining its identity as a shipborn, roaming people.

In popular culture, Saim-Hann appears in codices, fiction, and tabletop games as the archetype of Eldar fast-attack warfare. They are featured as masters of speed and raid-style operations, illustrating the broader Eldar theme of ingenuity and speed shaping the fate of civilizations.
