You are the ranking officer of an entire fleet of Imperial Naval ships, and the associated shipyards, space bases, and so forth.  You probably had to claw your way to the top ranks, either that or you were born privileged. You have led your Fleet on many successful campaigns, and earned the loyalty and admiration of your subordinates in the process.  The ranks of your Fleet has swollen, and you have pacified all internal threats to your assigned sector.  Its clear that you're coming to a choice.  Step down and retire (never!) or lead your Fleet on a mission of conquest -- a mission that is likely fated to end with your eventual destruction at the hands of the united forces of the Imperium.  The High Lords of Terra have anothre option for you.  An adventure of a lifetime.
 
  
Havoc's March sector is beyond Imperial Control.  With a new flagship, you can lead a crusade into the sector, pacify it, and create a new Fleet beyond even the Emperor's reachThis task will be a challenge even for one as great as you!

====Former Lord Commander====
 
 
You are the bad-ass motherfucking Lord Commander of an entire army of the Imperial Guard.  You acquired this position through a mixture of grit, cunning, and luck. You have led your forces on many successful campaigns, and earned the loyalty and admiration of your subordinates, and the hatred and fear of your enemies. Your army possesses such a fearsome reputation and sheer military power that it cannot be deployed on any planets without posing as a threat to the local government.  You are a de facto planetary governor of every planet that your army is deployed upon.  The Adeptus Terra cannot allow this situation to continue.
 
 
 
In return for stepping down as General of your army, you have been given authority to lead Imperial Forces into Havoc's March sector, destroy all the enemies of the Imperium therein, and exploit the systems as you see fit.  At last, a challenge fit for a military genius such as yourself!

Former Prefectus Primus
  
You are a master adept in the Administratum, and your bureaucratic influence stretches across entire sectors.  Your advice bends the ear of the High Lords themselves.  In fact, it has been whispered that your loyal, lifelong service to the Adeptus Terra has made you a candidate for the next open seat among the High Lords themselves, something that has been long overdue, in your humble estimation.

100 Peer (Government)
Unfortunately, none of the High Lords plan to step down any time soon.  Rather than wait for you, or one of your allies, to arrange for an <i>opening</i>, the High Lords instead have assigned you to one fine, great task.  To bring the law and order of the Imperium to its lawless fringe sectors.  The Havoc's March sector has been beyond Imperial reach for generations, and its lawless worlds and its resources are yours for the taking, all with the explicit approval of the High Lords themselves.

====Inquisitor====
 
 
 
Behold the power of the Inquisition, for it is yours.  Men tremble and planets quake in your passing.  You are above the law, above all temporal power.  You answer to the Emperor and the High Lords, and even then, you mostly consider that a formality.  Without men and women like you, selected for your zeal, cunning, and personal power, the Imperium would have long since ago fallen to Chaos, Heresy, and Destruction. 
 
 
 
In your time of service to the Emperor, you have uncovered conspiracies both great and small.  You have saved sectors from falling to the corruptions of Mutants, Sorcerers, and Xenos.  But you've also discovered smaller crimes.  Crimes not worthy of your direct interference, but still -- a pattern of subtle corruption, power mongering, and influence brokering that stretches like a web across the Imperium.
 
 
 
The hard fact is, you know too much.  And they know you know too much.  Its come to the point that you either have to take down a couple of the more corrupt High Lords personally, or wait for the assassins to come for you.
 
 
 
Your service has not gone unnoticed, however.  A High Lord has decided to intervene on your behalf with an offer that should be acceptable to all parties.  The Havoc's March sector has been beyond the reach of the Emperor for many generations, and corruption has likely sunk in deep there.  You have been given a writ of authority to travel there and cleanse the sector in the Emperor's name, in whatever manner suits you, beyond the interference of even the High Lords themselves.
 
 
 
&nbsp;
 
 
 
What you need to do before play:
 
 
 
*Decide on your Inquisitorial focus.  Where you a hunter of Xenos?  Psykers?  Mutants?  Demons?  And why is your chosen focus more important than the others?
 
*Describe three planets that had conspiracies you personally defeated, what those conspiracies were, and how you defeated them.
 
*Delineate your leadership style.  How did you recruit your acolytes?  What sort of tasks did you use them for?
 
*Determine one enemy that got away.  The big fish that's still out there somewhere.  The one failure that you regret the most.

====Assassin====
 
 
 
You officially don't exist.  You were never born.  You were never trained at the Assassinorium on Terra.  You were never sent on missions by the Grandmaster that took you across the Galaxy and back.  You never succeeded each and every time, even when survival was thought impossible.  You never made your way through the ranks, earning the personal trust of several of the High Lords.  The High Lords of Terra never considered you a possible replacement for the Grandmaster.  The Grandmaster never offered to release you from his service in exchange for your oath of self-exile.  The High Lords never directed you to the Havoc's March sector, to act with their blessings as an agent of the Emperor's unspoken will.
 
 
 
&nbsp;
 
 
 
What you need to do before play:
 
 
 
*Delineate your relationship with the Grandmaster.  Why did he feel threatened by you?  Why was he compelled to give you an out instead of killing you?
 
*Detail your method.  What is your preferred way of accomplishing your murderous goals?
 
*Describe your missions.  Three successful assassinations that you carried out.  The targets.  And why they were condemned to death.
 
*Define your contradiction.  You are a killing machine, a tool, a weapon of the Emperor.  Now you are on your own for the first time.  How are you going to put your past behind you?  What new future will you forge?

====Lord Marshal====
 
 
 
You <i>are</i> the law.  A Lord Marshal, one of the Imperium's supreme Judges, you are empowered to stand in judgment and execute justice over any crime.  In addition to being an expert on Imperial Law, you've also organized law enforcement across an entire sector, protecting Imperial citizens and property from the predation of criminals and anarchists.  So successful has been your crusade against crime that you have more or less cleaned up your entire sector.  You've been turning your attention toward corruption within, and you've discovered some disturbing evidence.
 
 
 
The fact is, the Empire would collapse in on itself without a few people working outside the law. People who could do what needs to be done.  You've begun to suspect that the High Lords believe that the Law is not the emperor's will, but rather just a tool to accomplish it.  You see things differently.
 
 
 
Rather than attempt to take down the corruption within Holy Terra itself, you've been given an offer.  The lawless Havoc's March sector has been on the fringe of the Empire for generations, outside of the reach of the Adeptus Arbites.  One man, one law.  Justice.  You are the hand of the Emperor's Will.  Havoc's March will be lawless no more.
 
 
 
&nbsp;
 
 
 
What you need to do before play:
 
 
 
*Describe your home sector, the home planet where your headquarters is located, and two other planets of interest.
 
*Determine the most infamous criminal that you've captured, and how you caught him.
 
*Detail the one that got away.  The criminal who has eluded you all this time.  And how he did it.
 
*Delineate your relationship with the former Lord Marshal, and how it is that you became Lord Marshal.

====Imperial Psyker====
 
 
 
You are a Psyker, judged by the Emperor to be strong enough to stand on your own, and loyal enough to act as his agent.  You possess no official authority, but you've worked as an adviser to countless Imperial functionaries, officers, and bureaucrats over the years.  You're officially an agent of the Adeptus Astro Telepathica, but you've been on assignment so long that you sometimes forget that you technically have to answer to superiors.
 
 
 
Perhaps it was your psychic skill and power combined with your sense of independence and autonomy that got you into this trouble in the first place.  Too powerful to be allowed to run on a loose leash anymore, and too independent to keep under control.  The High Lords have decided to unleash you upon the Havoc's March sector, beyond the edge of the Emperor's own power.  What glorious freedom at last.
 
 
 
&nbsp;
 
 
 
What you need to do before play:
 
 
 
*Determine your Psyker powers and how you used them as an agent of the Emperor.
 
*Delineate three former Imperial officials, how they used your services, and your relationship with them.
 
*Describe one rogue Psyker (sorcerer, renegade, or xeno), more powerful than you, who you encountered and were defeated by -- and why you were left alive.
 
*Detail your greatest rival Imperial Psyker, and how you have kept him in his place all these years.

====Magos====
 
 
 
You are a Magos, a master of a technological discipline.  You are so thoroughly versed in science and technology, that you have uncovered a few secrets of the Machine Cult.  You know the difference between magic and science, religion and technology, but you also understand the dangers that science and technology can be in the hands of one with a lesser, illogical mind.  Thus, you have been willing to maintain the illusion of religious trappings and rituals to conceal the true, rational paradigm under which the workings of the Adeptus Mechanicus operates.
 
 
 
The advances that your true understanding has enabled you to make have disturbed the Fabricator General of Mars.  He fears that your new technology and science may threaten the very foundation upon which the Imperium is based.  But rather than punish your genius, he has sought to reward it.  A new place to experiment, and new frontiers to explore.  The Havoc's March sector awaits.
 
 
 
&nbsp;
 
 
 
What you need to do before play:
 
 
 
*Determine what your technological/scientific specialty is.
 
*Decide on what breakthroughs you've made, and how they might benefit the Imperium.  And how they might be considered a threat.
 
*Describe the planet on which your Laboratory/Workshop/Library is located.
 
*Detail your staunchest rival within the Adeptus Mechanicus, and how you've managed to keep him in his place.

====Space Marine Captain====
 
 
 
You are a genetic superhuman.  Faster, stronger, better than mere mortals.  You are a good warrior.  And a good leader.  You command a space marine company.  But for whatever reason, you didn't quite fit in with your chapter -- too independent, a dangerous trait when you might someday be asked to sacrifice your very soul for the greater good of the Imperium.  Your Chapter Commander has given you a special assignment that will take you far away from your home base.
 
 
 
&nbsp;
 
 
 
What you need to do before you play:
 
 
 
*Detail your chapter, its theme, its special rituals and beliefs.
 
*Define your leadership style, are you charismatic, a dictator, a coldly logical tactician?
 
*Delineate three great battles that you fought, and the enemies that you defeated, and how you overcame them.
 
*Describe a hobby that you have, and why taking part in it gives you comfort.

====Former Corporate Boss====
 
 
 
Some say the Imperium runs on the blood of the Emperor.  But you know what really makes the Imperium go.  It's throne geld.  The Imperium requires industry and industry requires capital and trade.  The Imperium runs on the blood of Merchant Princes and Capitalists.  You are the true Imperium.  Some might call you a leech, a parasite, a greedy, power hungry right bastard.  You are all those things and more.
 
 
 
Your personal wealth rivals that of entire planets in the Imperium, and that's totally understandable since your empire stretches across an entire sector.  But you'll never be satisfied with such wealth.  Your financial empire has reached the point of monopoly, and a monopolies, the Adepts claim, are poison to the Imperium.  You knew they would be coming for you to dissolve your corporation.  You prepared for a fight, you weren't going to go down easy.  You'd take as many of those bastards down with you as you could.
 
 
 
But then they made you a deal.  And you were the master of the deal.  An entire sector.  Yours to exploit.  Just beyond the edge of the Imperium.  And as far as the Imperium was concerned, a monopoly would be just fine.
 
 
 
&nbsp;
 
 
 
What you need to do before playing:
 
 
 
*Delineate your company's specialty.  While eventually growing into a monopoly, every corporation had its start in a particular field.  What was yours?
 
*Detail your company's home world, the place where your corporate headquarters is located.
 
*Describe your big success.  The thing that you did or sold that earned you the big money for the first time.
 
*Describe your biggest corporate rival, and how you eventually destroyed him.
