			== Colours & Uniforms ==

			Forlorn Hope hull colors are black, white and red. The uniform are of the same colors, with decorations and braids usually in silver. Each squadron has a different collar uniform and a unique cipher on sleeves and shoulder pad.

			Chaplain and ecclesiarchy officials who choose to wear a uniform shall bear a full white uniform instead. The ship marching band wears red and white.

			All officers and warrant officers must wear white gloves at all time, as well their saber, to be considered properly dressed. Warrant officers also bears a mono-groxwhip as a symbol of their charge.

			Armsmen are protected with flak armour, and armed with Dreyse mark IV shotguns.


			== Crew origins ==

			Most of the crew are former Imperial Navy: ambitious warrant officiers or officiers having waiting too long for a promotion, others too radical for the traditional Navy, or even some demoted for minor offenses and offered a second chance. As the crew is quite young, he is quite “green” if compared to the Imperial Navy standard ; but they are competent, loyal, and have a lot of potential.

			The Bulk of the crew & officers have been recruited on Junker Binary, a dustball remoted imperial world in the Drusus Marches. Like their ancestor of the 112 th Teuton Imperial guard Regiment, these people are reputed for their austere faith and demeanor, as well the military aspect of their everyday life. Most imperial world have a military force ; on Junker Binary, the military force happens to have a planet.

			They tries to enforce heavily their 20 virtues on board :

			* Humility

			* Industriousness

			* Obedience (but not without Frankness)

			* Straightness

			* Sense of Justice („Suum cuique“ = Jedem das Seine = To each his own)

			* Godliness

			* Toughness, against oneself even more than against others

			* Courage

			* Sense of Order

			* Pflichtbewusstsein (Sense of Duty)

			* Probity

			* Self denial = He who swears on His flag has nothing left that belongs to himself

			* Austerity

			* Bravery without sniveling („Lerne leiden ohne zu klagen“ Suffer without moaning!)

			* Loyalty

			* Incorruptibility

			* Subordination

			* Self-effacement („Mehr sein als scheinen!“ Be more than you seem to be)

			* Reliability

			* Punctuality


			== Official March & Anthem of the Ship ==

			The ship marching band will play the ship anthem at each new watch –every 6 hours – after ringing the ships bells.
			[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHzlmg__tm0]


			== Traditions of Note ==

			Every officer – except retinue members-, warrant officier and armsmen must wear a mustache or a beard. Ratings are forbidden to wear one. Women officers & armsmen can wear a wig or ornate braids instead.

			When an officer or a warrant officer is promoted or named, up too the Lord Captain himself, he is ritually challenged by one of his peers, or by a direct subordinate, in a first blood sword duel, named Mensur. Blows must be strike only at the head: armoured google are worn for this. The duellists are allowed only to moved their arm. The looser must bear ever after his scar with pride, and offer a drink to the winner.

			Duals are not forbidden to troops, contrary to the standard among the Imperial Guard or the Imperial navy. The follow also the rules of the mensur, except for the worse outrages, which must be solved with a saber duel.

			- ENGINARII: Engineering. The first access to the Main Cogitator and the Realm of the Mechanicus.
			- COMMISSARIATUS: Commissariat & Stewardship. In charge of supplies, inventory, and human resources.
			- COMMERCIA: Business & passengers. They are the ones who look after the needs of passengers, and also the underlings of the High Factotum, managing the Rogue Trader’s assets.
			- FIDES: Faith. In charge of the Morale on board, they ensure that His Creed is worshipped adequately in every corner of the Ship.
			- ARMATA: Security & Tactics. They control sergeants-at-arms, ship provosts & armsmen, boarding troops, and any army carried on board.
			- ORDINANTIA: Strategy & Ordnances. The very brain of the ship in a battle, calculating & plotting moves & broadsides of the ship’s weapons.
			The main tower centre stands at the center of the twelve pits. At the top lies the main Astronomical clocks. It indicates Terra’s ecliptics, the moon fullness, sunrise and sunset, and more prosaically the hour on board. A secondary dial showing signs of the zodiac is moving upon it, and includes the command post for the Lord Captain’s retinue.
			The Captain throne sits directly on the needle indicating the hour and the sun position. The First Officer throne sits on the needle indicating the state of the Moon. The Axis is hollow, allowing the rogue trader to climb to his command throne, an to access directly to the Profit Express.
