'' Sola '' <BR>

Born and raised on Aphrodissa Prima (a pleasure world). Growing up (with 20 siblings, 17 different mothers) he had access to  women, wealth, wine and everything that everyone else vacationed there for. None of that truly made him happy, but except late at night he would stare up at the stars (and listen to most of the stories from across the galaxies). 

So when he was old enough he paid his way onto a Rouge trader's ship (as manual labor). Luck is fickle though; soon after 88% of the crew got ill and died. The rest of the crew thought the ship was cursed so they landed on the rearrest inhabitable planet and died(the planet turned out to be a feral world home to cannibal tribes and huge man eating plants). 3nd day alone on the ship another ship crashed nearby  and its crew took refuge in the Esailia. The new crew's leaders were dead and by strange luck thought Jarrian was a rogue trader (so not only did he get a new crew but 2 payloads of cargo). So with a new crew to call his own he set out on many misadventures (Zombies of asteroid M, The bar fight tournaments of Omega Prime's 2nd moon, the mystery of container X, The lonely hearts pirate saga, and The strange case of Dr.Vex), until he was recognized as a true rogue trader an given a warrant of trade (and told to leave the Imperium).

'' The Torpedus pattern raider vessel was designed to resemble a wretched transport hulk. Most void captains are still unaware of this deception, as few survive when a Torpedus' true form is revealed. ''

== Battleforce ==
Even with all the fast talking and diplomacy in the universe, it is still possible that a Rogue Trader will have to devote high numbers of troops to a large scale conflict. If this happens, the conflict will be resolved with the Warhammer 40k tabletop rules. The Rogue Trader players force selection will be limited to the options for on this page, [[Solas_heroes_Battleforce]]. The players may give themselves more options by acquiring new equipment, training and soldiers in their travels.

== Game Sessions ==

''' Session 1 '''<BR>

As the party finds themselves on the edge of Imperial Space and begin to scan for their first target, they coma across a distress call from a group o Imperial Guardsmen marooned on a violent planet and loosing men very quickly. Contrary to how most space Captains of his day would react, Captain York gives the order to move for immediate assistance. Navigator Macharius made the warp journey so quickly that several lives were saved. They emerged from the Warp to find the planet in violent tectonic upheaval. Flaming rocks were flying into the air as enormous cracks in the planets surface opened. Malechi Darrius selected a large group of courageous crewmen to go down to the planets surface, led by the valiant rogue trader himself. The atmosphere proved rough, but not too rough, for they landed and evacuated the crew of the Menetoth quickly and effectively, with minimal loss of life. The flight back to Esailia was not so uneventful, as the transport ship took a few hits from the lava rocks raining down, but the sturdy ship made it back to the dock. The Guardsmen agreed to follow the rogue trader and his crew to the ends of the universe. Going out of her way may have cost Esailia, but she gained a few dozen new loyal soldiers.<BR>
