The year is 801.935.M41 and the galaxy burns. For over ten thousand years the God-Emperor of mankind have sat immobile on the golden throne of earth all the while millions sacrifice their lives each heartbeat to the endless carnage that is the forty first millenniums grinding war machines, it is a dark age as humanity struggles to keep the last embers of their dying civilization alive amidst the threats from without, and within. To be a man in such a time is to be born into an uncaring galaxy that seeks only to claim your soul, to be a man in such a time is struggle and suffering to toil under the night sky praying for salvation from the dark by the rays of morning. But, this fate is not for you Across the vastness of interstellar space mighty battle fleets cross the sea of souls bringing with them the weapons that can break a world and the soldiers to claim them, they are the Imperial Navy, they are the true backbone of the Imperium, kilometer long they prowl with unnatural graze amidst the stars seeking to end the lives of those that would defy the Imperiums will. But not all whom claim the stars as their homes are bound by the navy´s law. Some have more than that, some may travel the stars bound only by a single law: Their Warrant of Trade, a single piece of paper that grants upon its owner the ultimate gift: Freedom. You are the crew of such a man, the crew of a Rogue-Trader, for you the burning galaxy is nothing but opportunity for profit - flames can be honed into weapons and made to forge tools. This is your tale, this is the tale of those few blessed with the power to change the galaxy for good and evil, those few that through their own force of will may shape the future of worlds, but be aware would be Rogue-Traders, for amidst the stars there lies secrets best forgotten by mortal men, in the shadows between realms there lurks evil older than time itself. For remember the maps of old: "Here, there be dragons." +++++A single Cog is the birth of a titan+++++ General Information: This is a Warhammer 40k Rogue-Trader campaign using the Rogue-Trader official supplements published by FFG (Fantasy flight gaming) for rules, general character creation is point-buy with roll for fate/wounds, career/backgrounds are bound with one free "jump" (this includes jumping to a career as long as you can justify it well) The campaign will be revolving around a vessel known as The Benedictus Dominatus, you´ll have a lot of influence over its construction but a few things are set in stone.
