Ambition know no bounds...

In Rogue Trader, you take on the role of a Rogue Trader and his most trusted counsellors—explorers empowered by an ancient Warrant of Trade to seek out profit and plunder unexplored regions of space. Your ship will take you to new worlds and uncharted reaches of the void, where you will encounter deadly rivals, savage pirates, mysterious aliens, and possibly even the nightmarish inhabitants of the warp. You will acquire and spend great wealth, and either fame or infamy will attend your actions.

You will discover ancient and forgotten mysteries and search out the unknown, perhaps to find lost human worlds, wield mighty artefacts of lost civilisations, witness never-before-seen celestial phenomena, or disturb ancient terrors long slumbering in the black depths. You must survive the dangers of the voids, for beyond the threat of vacuum and deadly radiation lurk things man was
never meant to find. You must battle alien rivals to humanity’s dominance of the stars, who would see all human life snuffed out like a guttering candle if they could.
To be part of a Rogue Trader’s crew is to stand on the threshold of near-unlimited opportunity. Vast profits wait for you and your fellow explorers to find and claim. Fame and fortune reward the bold, but the unwary will find only death,
their deeds soon forgotten.
Why do Rogue Traders brave the terrors of the void and plunge into the unknown? The answer is simple: great risks can bring great rewards. A Rogue Trader and his crew are a lasting symbol of success and wealth in the Imperium—and with good reason. They enjoy a level of personal freedom and lifestyle of adventure that others can only dream of. Tasting the fruits of success is not without peril, however.
Foul aliens, pernicious raiders, and even other Rogue Traders will stand in your way on the path to greatness. Your wits, luck, skill, and courage will be tested to their utmost limits as you attempt to survive and prosper in this life, and to survive is to face even greater challenges—and to wield even greater power in overcoming them.
