Looks like I misremembered our ship as not having that capability. Whoops.
Somewhat, but not without cause. We haven't developed this:
And I am not sure whether the Spark's assault shuttles work as boarding shuttles, given that. But we definitely have a teleportarium.

I'm looking at the "Human Simulation Implant" and why yes. It seems we got an another delicious RP-income upgrading research project. I'm thinking that over three turns we have Anexa on all these projects:
Machine Design -> Advanced Neural Implants -> Human Simulation Implants
On the update itself, going to let my brain ponder before I comment anything here about what to do about the Eldar. But for now I would like to note this line:

It goes hard. Made me even a bit teary-eyed for a brief moment. But it also might mean the beginnings of something bigger later on with the Mechanicus, if we decide to pursue it.

The Eldar were the second-best option on the encounter table before the Space Marines arrived, so I doubt they're Dark Eldar.

Underlined are the errors in the quotes:
solid instead of sold
mechanicus instead of mechanics
We've unlocked the same technology twice. Did we get two new technologies? Or three?
We didn't lose that tech permanently:
We just lost it until we find something that works similarly to the idea. In other words we need a piece of loot or outside tech or even just the right critical to get it back even if it is just as a defensive tech to avoid having our machine spirits emotionally hacked.

Pretty sure we broke the defenses when we took it.
Anyway, I think we should move to pin the Eldar.
We can't act to stop the Eldar, because we don't know their motive, and can't predict a destination.
But we do know one thing, and that is that they're not prone to suicide charges.
To the Drukhari, death means eternal torture.
To the Craftworlders, every eldar live is a precious resource.
To the corsairs, dying is for chumps.
So, regardless of intention, if we are seen to block them in, they will need to choose between abandonning their goals and abandonning their lives, and if they have any kind of sense they'll pick the former. After all, they can come back after we leave (and it would take a very shoddy farseeer to plan an assault before the greatest defense leaves the system).
Note that Eldar stealth is good, and imperial sensors are only so-so.
They probably assume they're undetected, as of know.

Maybe we should send an alert to the station to evacuate due to incoming stealthed eldar ship?
I do think we should burn towards the station - we can't get there first but maybe we could try and get into a position where the eldar have to get through us to leave?
If that's possible, and they see us move to do that, it might cause them to choose against commiting to an attack and instead veer off

Yeah, it might be best to pin them in and send a message stating we wish friendly contact but we won't hesitate to open fire if they have hostile intentions.
I do not think they can outrun an eldar ship, they might panic and do something rash if they think it's dark eldar even if we can talk them down and that would be tragic.

Denva doesn't have space combat capability, I think.
And if the eldar aren't intending to attack (I find that doubtful given the fact they're sneaking in), then it can just be a false alarm.
I'm don't think it's remotely possible to get everyone off the station.
I'm trying to get as many as I can.

Depending on the lore being used eldar don't use void shields they use holo fields instead sure they have some defences but if you got good enough sensors then you can just blow through them on top of that if you have good enough sensors you can use trleport strikes even with their fields.
Anyway my bet is Corsairs they're going right for a gas giant with infustructure around it so they're looking for Starship fuel or at least the base components.
So main idea is we get the Eldar to leave the people alone we can replace equipment and while I'd dislike it if they nabbed it the Eldar would probably just melt any human tech down for raw material out of arrogance.

I meant start taking suicide pills (or the cybernetic enhancement version thereof). That is a reasonable response to thinking you are about to be taken by Drukari.

[] Pin them in
-[] Greet the Eldar in their language as a recently awoken from stasis Ancient and ask them to state their purpose for coming here. If it's to chat or trade that's great.
-[] Send some warning to the station and to Denva as well, you don't yet know their intention, but it's better to be prepared
(decided against adding: If it's to fight that's great too, your weapon's system needs field testing)
What does everyone think about that for a start?

Alright here are some of the Maxim's of dealing with Eldar
1. The best Eldar is a dead one because they're not longer planning to kill untold numbers of other species in exchange for maybe preventing 1 or 2 from dying
2. Eldar deals are worth nothing until you receive they're end of any bargain because they're planning on you being dead before they pay up.
3. Eldar are the worst hypocrites in the galaxy for they will unironically declare they're the best hope for the galaxy yes the urge to punch them in the face means you're same.

Excellent update as always.
Now to deal with the sudden space elf interrupt. Regardless of the tactical decision we take, I do think we should talk with them. We are spec'd for diplomacy and even if it doens't stop them it will hopefully get us more information. Here is my first pass at an opening hail:
Attention, Eldar vessels within the Aerithon orbit. I am Explore Vita, captain of the Spark of the Ancients. We have detected your entry and observed your approach to our industrial platforms. Your sudden and covert arrival raises concern for our people. We request you identify yourselves and state your purpose here. If your intentions are peaceful, we will gladly discuss safe passage and mutual interests. However, be advised that any threat to the Denva system or its inhabitants will be met with decisive measures.
We send the message in eldari to let them know we are actually civilized and attach their flight path so they know we can actually see them. I wanted a tone that was stern, but not hostile.
As for the tactical situation, I'm in favor of Charging toward the station while leaving the monitors in Denva orbit. It limits the amount of time they have to do anything to the station. If this is a raid, limiting their time is our best bet.

All of these rules apply better to the Imperium than the Eldar, by a wide margin. Not only have Eldar regularly worked together with other factions, a lot of the Craftworlds are honestly pretty reasonable, Biel-Tan excepted. They just have to work with a galaxy spanning superpower religiously devoted to genociding their entire race. The reason why they're willing to sacrifice so many others for one or two of their race is because the Imperium would absolutely throw away untold numbers of their own soldiers to kill one or two Eldar if they had the chance.

Can we give joint custody to two or more parties? Obviously giving everyone a slice of ownership would probably be the worst of all worlds without any of the benefits, but could we get "diluted" benefits from 2 or maybe 3 groups sharing control?

Craftworlders are not reasonable I'm not kidding the whole reason the Imperium doesn't trust Eldar is because whenever they appear on a Imperial world they do all sorts of stupid shit such as causing local military forces to be distracted with random shit and unprepared when they get hit by an ork waragh In the name of stopping something rather than tell someone and then even when they do play fair and get the objective done they betray the other party.
Edit: just checked reasearch yes fuck yeah wooo
-[] Human Simulation Implants (150 RP) You can simulate reality quite accurately. Adapting these neural implants to do that might yield some impressive benefits. (Improves human capacity for research & development. Tech-priest crew will contribute RP, may unlock further tech for improved help with research & design) Requires advanced neural implants

There are no reasonable factions in WH40K no matter where you look.
The fact we encountered reasonable Space Marines alone should tell you Neablis is allowing them despite that.
OOC it'd also make the diplomacy build rather useless compared to the war build.
