Not really, according to the books, like the Dark Eldar trilogy, a craftworld eldar can rise very high in Comorragh and a dark eldar is welcome to the craftworld and in exodite worlds. The reason for this? The eldar just see being a dark eldar as another Path like the path of the renegade or the path of the seer.

most regular eldar from what I remember hate and fear the dark eldar cause the created slannesh they feed it and their best warriors go out of their way to destroy spirit stones causing people to be eaten
like craftworld Aliatoc I am pretty sure will exacute eldar for even talking to dark eldar

The entire eldar race created Slaanesh, the dark eldar are just the survivors in the webway. They do not target their kin specifically but for a purpose, maybe its to feed Slaanesh so that their soul get hidden for another day, maybe its political. A dark eldar can even become a craftworlder himself if he feels tired of his chosen "Path". Maybe what you are saying is true in the old codexes but as per the novels its not.

Edit: this reminds me of the theory about Asdrubael Vect himself being a former craftworlder

@HalfTangible can we use the dark eldar weapons that are left behind? They are perfect if we want to capture people alive i.e. psykers, nulls, navigators, etc

I had a paragraph here about how this should be impossible under your current circumstances... buuuuuuut I really like this idea, so I'll say yes, but you need to have them modified a bit first to work for your species and for the guns you'll need someone to produce the ammo.

When I initially wrote the post, my thinking was that the Dark Eldar and Craftworld Eldar don't get along, but they still consider each other better/more important than other life forms.

There's a scene in TTS (the most reliable source possible on 40k canon) where Eldrad gets into an argument with Asdrubael Vect in which he states that he hates Vect and his "stupid spiky city" and everything the Drukhari stand for, even hoping for its final disjunction soon, but also saying "you are still Eldar" and trying to offer him a chance to save himself. It's kinda like that.

Bel would've been fine letting the Drukhari go had they not been taking the spirit stones.

Y'know, I might have a thing about strange watery ladies and swords, but killing other pirates and raking their shit seems right up our alley. (Even if they are neurotoxin guns)
 
... Actually... I've been calling the leader Archon but 'Dracon' would probably be the more appropriate title for the leader of this group of Drukhari... hm.

Archon Dracon? Is our Drukhari nemesis Commorraghs equivalent of a Scooby Doo villain? Does he dable in property schemes while stealing soul-stones and torturing mon keigh?

If that is in fact the case then we need a talking animal companion.

We've got the smart lady and the pretty lady (don't ask me to specify the pointy eared one will kill me past the screen), Ping's our stoner, and we're doing all the planning and stuff so I think we're the Fred, we can't use fan as the mascot because she's human... maybe the empress has a jokaero in her palace or something we can steal.

Amaya: "What makes you think I won't?"
Caihong: "He was talking about me, obviously."
Fan: "Why can't I be the mascot? :("

See this is what I mean, now the rest of them are breaking the fourth wall like a AO3 fanfic from 2011. I can't say Fan's the mascot because of the animal connotations, if anything she's filled in the narrative void of the sidekick who shall not be named and takes absolutely no inspiration or characterization from. I mean that and the perma-macguffin but at least she'll have more agency in the future.

A) I'll take it. I was terrified she'd come off as the escort mission, macguffin isn't much better but it's at least less annoying.

B) Future agency... heh. The fun part about having plans that stretch far into the future is reading stuff like this and knowing.

Can a Primarch do escort missions? I know we can get hurt and tortured and stuff but we're at least the buffest thing in the cave if not on the entire island (I know about spawn/warp critters, they don't count on account of being living failures). and now we've got the funny haha warcrime guns from the BDSM space elves.

Either way I'm only calling Fan a macguffin because of the blank stuff's relevance to the present questline, She has a personality beyond being a walking ball of anti-psychic oblivion, we just have to make sure she only turns out sociopathic and not psychotic, like a responsible big brother (and pirate lord in training).

    I called the lead an Archon in the vote but the more proper term here would be Dracon

    My bad

    And thus our nemesis! I think we shall have a great time clashing pirate to pirate.
     
    I'm so disappointed in you all. Choosing a Dark Elf for pirate nemesis when the Orks are right there.

    Oh well. I'm sure we'll eventually find Mr. Right. To the Orks it will probably end up looking like the greatest love triangle in history.

    damn it now we only have one nemesis we could of had two at least we didn't end up with an ork with a rival, those clowns are more likely to blow themselves up then be a threat and their major ones apart from the warlord of ulinor isn't around/s

    I'll have you know that Orks are great rivals, the legendary rivalry of Yarrick and Gazghul is one of the most recognizable in the setting! But be that as it may we will have plenty of opportunities to make enemies along the way, for now our starter villain is a space elf who turns people into living furniture. I'm sure we can all find a special hatred for that?

    At least until you get your hands around his/her neck.

    There's not a lot anyone can do to a primarch.

    Eh, you'll eventually run into a Freebootah.

    The funny thing about Orks is that they are alarmingly likely to blow themselves up... buuuuuut they will somehow survive and still kill you.

    Sadly, Yarrick is dead in the newest Guard codex. Apparently.
