Rogue Trader Bad-assery

Campaign Overview

Welcome to the life of the Rogue Trader. You're not some fancy pants merchant prince. You are so powerful as to be a THREAT to the stability of the Imperium. That's why the High Lords have selected you for this important mission of pacification and exploitation.

Your mission is this:

• To take your flag ship on a shakedown voyage through the Imperium.
• To gather the power base necessary to pacify and exploit an entire fringe sector beyond Imperial Law.
• And to BOLDLY GO WHERE NO ASSHOLE HAS GONE BEFORE.

But don't get cocky. Your "special authority" doesn't extend to Imperial Space. Within Imperial Space you're still subjected to the laws of the Imperium. No sacking planets or pirating space lanes or any of that. At least, not without facing consequences.

What do you have going for you, then?

• A town-sized flag ship.
• Immense personal wealth and power.
• A command crew of dangerously powerful individuals.

Why are the High Lords doing this? If you're so powerful and dangerous, why would they be giving you even more power and a big ship and shit like that. Think about it. They're giving you the power you need to make your mission seem "possible". To conquer, pacify, and exploit an entire sector of Outlaw space. Legally. With full Imperial Sanction. You could do that, or you could cause some crazy-ass civil war in Imperial Space and eventually get your ass handed to you after a years long battle that threatens the safety of the entire empire.

If you are that much of an asshole, well . . . I don't know what to say.
