Introduction

“Ever onward I race, to the unknown edge of reality. There, in the

eternal horizon, lies our glory and our gain!”

–Rogue Trader Alexei Magn

I n the 41st Millennium, travel between the stars is in equal

parts arduous and extraordinary. It is a perilous miracle,

a trip through a realm of raw insanity, made possible by

incalculable labour and sacriﬁce. A Rogue Trader risks not

only his soul to dread this nightmare domain, but the souls of

everyone aboard his vast and ancient vessel.

But the prize is worth it. For a Rogue Trader, travel

through the Warp presents inﬁnite opportunities. Strange and

beautiful and terrible worlds hang in the dusky penumbra

of the void just beyond the God-Emperor’s Light. Some

house vast deposits of resources or treasures that capable of

generating wealth beyond even a Rogue Trader’s avaricious

imaginings; others are home to strange alien species unseen by

human eye. Still other worlds house only ruins, the crumbling

monuments of extinct empires that sailed between the stars in

ages long-forgotten. All of these things represent incredible

opportunities—and threats—to a Rogue Trader. Some are

inherently lethal, while others draw the interest of powerful

rivals as deadly as the Explorers themselves. Still, the risks can be

calculated and the scales balanced. For what peril to the body, the

mind, or the soul can outweigh the prize of possibility itself ?

WHAT ’S IN THIS BOOK?

This volume contains resources for both Players and Game Masters

who wish to delve deep into the lost corners of the Koronus

Expanse. It contains the World Generator, a resource for creating

new planets, as well as a detailed section on creating Planetside

Adventures to challenge any group of players. Additionally, it

contains rules for creating and managing one’s own colonies on

these worlds, and powerful factions and foes that Game Masters

can use to stir the avaricious struggle amidst the stars to life.

C HAPTER III: C OLONIAL E NDEAVOURS

For Explorers who wish not just to plunder, but to build (and

then plunder!), this chapter provides a set of resources for

creating Colonies upon the countless worlds of the Expanse.

These Colonies can be extremely valuable, but the Explorers

must protect their holdings, or risk losing them to catastrophe,

marauding xenos, or worse—rival Rogue Traders!

C HAPTER IV: F ACTIONS OF THE E XPANSE

From dashing and deadly human corsairs to rampant Ork

Freebooterz to the vast Explorator Fleets of the mighty Adeptus

Mechanicus, this chapter contains a sampling of foes that a

Game Master can introduce into a campaign as valuable allies or

desperate foes for the Explorers. Each faction has several important

and memorable NPCs, an overview of its goals and history, and a

brief summary of its resources in the Koronus Expanse.

C HAPTER I: W ORLD G ENERATOR

The World Generator is a resource that allows Game Masters to

quickly create memorable regions, systems, and worlds, each one

with a unique combination of attributes, resources, and quirks—

some bizarre and fascinating, and others deadly.

C HAPTER II: P LANETSIDE A DVENTURES

Where Chapter I: World Generator focuses on creating

massive areas, this chapter is dedicated to helping Game

Masters tell stories of proﬁt and peril on these worlds by

giving them resources that can both lure their Explorers

to these planets and vastly complicate matters once the

intrepid seekers of wealth arrive. From Genestealer attacks

to ancient, trap-laced ruins to hazards much stranger

still, this chapter provides the seeds for countless

tales of daring and greed.

T OUCHED BY THE F ATES (T ALENT )

Some of the adversaries presented in this volume are

extremely dangerous individuals, meant to be rivals or

even nemeses to Explorers. An NPC with this Talent

has a number of Fate Points equal to half his Willpower

Bonus (rounding up). He may use these Fate Points in

the exact same way as an Explorer, and may even “burn”

a Fate Point to survive death and destruction. In addition,

the rules for Righteous Fury apply to this character.
