The Rogue Trader core rulebook contains everything you need to start your adventure in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Fame and fortune reward the bold, but the unwary find only an anonymous death. Vast profits await for you and your fellow Explorers to find and claim. To be part of a Rogue Trader’s crew is to stand on the threshold of nearly unlimited opportunity. You must survive the dangers of space, for beyond the threat of vacuum and deadly radiation lurk things Man was never meant to find.
You will discover ancient and forgotten mysteries and search out the unknown to find lost human worlds or never before seen celestial phenomena. You will acquire and spend great wealth and riches, and fame or infamy will follow. Your ship will take you to new worlds and uncharted reaches of the void, where you will encounter rivals, pirates, aliens, and possibly even creatures of the warp. In Rogue Trader, you take on the role of a Rogue Trader and his most trusted counsellors, empowered by an ancient warrant of trade to seek out profit and plunder amongst unexplored regions of space.
