Warhammer 40,000: Duty Calls. A short campaign for new players.

EDIT: This campaign is now full. If you still want to do a 40k campaign, start your own awesome story! Hello! I've been a big fan of roleplaying games as a player and as a friend to all the wonderful GMs I've known personally or otherwise. I've noticed a distinct lack of 40k campaigns on roll20 and wish to amend that by hosting my own. Before you decide if you want to play in this campaign, let me make myself clear: 1. You don't need to know GURPS/have the rulebook/etc. Though it's nice, it's no big deal if you have no experience with the system. We'll be able to set up your character as you roleplay, and can make adjustments after a session or two. Also, I will never punish you for not knowing the system, there will be no mean "gotcha!" moments. I won't do any special things that haven't been shown to the players beforehand; likewise, If a player wants to do something special, I'll tell them how to do it. 2. You don't need to be a Warhammer 40,000 nerd. I'm a big fan of the 40k setting, but this campaign is designed for people who don't know the setting, and thus won't be bogged down with information overload. 3 . This isn't a heroic campaign, this is about somewhat average people. We aren't playing huge space marine badasses in this campaign, we're playing average humans, so threats are more real and running away sometimes is the better option. 4. This campaign is designed to have a short plot arc, but leaves room for a long campaign. As this is my first time GMing a campaign, I wanted to make something small to get the kinks out so to speak. Afterward, if the players want to continue playing, I have plans set for a long campaign using the same characters after this one ends. 5. Play what's fun. Don't try to play whatever sort of character will "balance out the party", play what you like! Okay! now that that's out of the way, here's a little teaser for the campaign: Welcome to the 41st Millennium. Location: On the way to the Sabbat Worlds sector, Segmentum Pacificus You are sent on the cruiser Sigma IV, splitting off from the fleet to rescue the crew of a stranded Explorator ship. Upon the return voyage, things take a turn for the worse.  It's up to you, the players, to solve the mystery before it's too late. This isn't a story of heroes, this is a story of survival. This campaign is run on saturdays, 6:30-9:30 PM PST The link to join this campagin is here.
What rulebook will you be using? Dark Heresy?  I'm kind of interested because my (was)local group liked the universe but we played more DnD than anything so I'd love to play some more 40k!
Sounds interesting man! Hell I'd be willing to play
Apologies, but I got a ton of responses and now this campaign is full. Thanks for all the feedback, guys!
