I wouldn't be surprised if Eldari had powers similar to Immortals but I really don't think they have anything to do with the Gems.
Collecting all the Gems should be an extremely rare event, if it even has been done before. A race of people who had obtained the Gems seems way too much of a stretch for me.
These are my arguments:
1. After stealing the Gem from Garrington, Orion uses Calypso's portal to leave the server. Idriel hijacks the connection to bring Orion to the Nexus, where she invites him to the Rockefeller server, then she says that Orion was redirected after using an Exit portal.
2. William says that Exit Portals are what allow common humans to access the servers.
3. The Founder can offer Orion an amulet that makes him immortal and allows him to re-enter the game through the nearest Exit Portal.
So for all intends and purposes, the Exit Portal is not just a log-off point that returns someone's consciousness to their body. It's actually a portal, quite similar to what Calypso can make, and the fact that she can't use them, potentially means more than just not having a body on the other side. I will explain my theory in the next paragraph.

Good catch on the Astaroth lore. This helps legitimize my theory without having to assume that another world may be possible to exist. It's been a while since I played OiaL and I never bothered too much with the particulars. This, along with the previous point on portals, make it possible that Sy-Tel-Quessir is another "real" world like Earth.
Pinpointing the reason why Calypso can't use the Exit Portal is deceptively complicated. But at the very least, by considering that:
1. Uncontrolled NPCs don't seem capable of using the Exit Portals. The session with Penny and Luna ended next to an Exit Portal and the NPCs didn't even bother with it.
2. Calypso also can't use the portals, but she also can't teleport to her homeland.
3. Idriel couldn't distinguish between Calypso's portal and an Exit Portal.
4. It's possible that Earth and Sy-Tel-Quessir are both material planes that you can't project to/teleport to without a magical process that goes beyond Ulysses' scope.
I'm assuming that: Calypso is an NPC, a soul taken from the Sy-Tel-Quessir realm, she is special and could retain (most of) her memories despite whatever the Immortals tried to do to her. The reason she can't return to her homeland is the same reason that uncontrolled NPCs native to Earth can't return to it, whatever that reason may be.
So basically, Calypso's circumstances are similar to Thanatos, but she comes from a different realm than Earth.
I generally dislike theories that require the 10 Gems to work, because at this point they become Divine Providence. And then, why would any being who managed to get all the Gems, ever relinquish that control and deny godhood? It doesn't make much sense as this isn't a covenant with a higher entity to give you Power. It's the real deal, at least according to William.
Due to this, I think that it's the first time in the history of the Universe that there has been an attempt to gather all the Gems and it only happened because The Founder managed to turn Eternum into an indrusty. I think that before that, only a handful of Immortals and the souls of the dead ever walked these realms.
