Rogue Traders, originally called Rogue Traders Militant during the era of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, are unique and powerful Human individuals who serve as a combination freelance explorer, conquistador and interstellar merchant for the Imperium of Man.
They are hereditary Imperial servants and nobles, given a starship, a crew, and sometimes a contingent of Space Marines (in very rare cases) or troops of the Astra Militarum or mercenaries and carte blanche to roam those worlds of the galaxy that still lie beyond Imperial control or knowledge.
In their task of exploring and exploiting the still-uncharted regions of the galaxy for Mankind, Rogue Traders might come across worlds harbouring long-forgotten Human civilisations which will be later incorporated into the Imperium by official Adeptus Mechanicus Explorator fleets and expeditions of the Imperial Navy and Astra Militarum. Other times they find empty or alien-dominated planets ripe for colonisation, conquest or exploitation by the Imperium -- and themselves.

I introduced Rogue Traders to my 40k-novice-friend like this: “Xenophobia is cool, but *money* is *cooler* “
While you were purging xenos, I was acquiring random hoardes of wealth and knowledge
Hard to find a fault there
This sounds like something Captain Zedek would say. I genuinely can't hear it in any other voice than Hulky Krow's.
Hey, 40k is a game where, both in the setting and between players in the real world, drip is what brings everyone together!
Yeah, thats gold!
Do you want wealth, fame, and power? None of those are important to Rogue Traders. The freedom to go anywhere and live as you like is the most precious thing Rogue Traders can experience. Life in the 40k is a harsh and hellish world, but having the freedom to do as you wish and venture to unknown, that's an life of explorer that humanity was born to do.
Wealth fame and power are very important to some of them. It's not incompatible with the freedom of their position.
Ngl, this sounds like an recruitment campaign.
Sign me up 😆
We need one piece in warhammer 40k
@DaBlueIghuana One Piece! One Piece is real!
@@YoBen100can we get much higher
"Sometimes the best contract is the one that is forced to be signed"
Congratulations for coming up with that one, that's a very cool villain line
Or in the Imperium, it's a very good good-guy line.
This just made me think of the mr beast drama lmfao
The oldest of rouge traders are one of the few who can tell the Inquisition to bugger off, if they have a warrant issued from before the Heresy, as those were issued by decree of the Emperor himself, while "newer" ones are issued by decree of the high lords. Plus those oldest traders tend to have some insane ships or even their own fleets.
yeah, one turns up with a mostly automated Battleship that puts 90% of the Imperiums fleet to shame, Imperium people best be kind
Those traders with warrants directly from the emperor basically won the lottery
They tell the emperor to shove it during the end of the unification wars so he banishes them from terra but basically gives them a free pass to do whatever they want in his name
The really old warrants have a literal drop of the Emperor's blood on them. It's a major plot point in one of the stories.
No one want to make a group with Emperror's approval and tons of weapons from DAoT upset. Inquisitor may sometime be superior than Rogue Trader but the true Rogue Trader will delete that inquisitor and their acolytes out of existance and sometime raid that inquisitor's homeworld for fun and no one gonna say shit about it.
@Volgalist yeqh, its like bossing the titan legions around, technically, yes you can, but should you? no no no no no
Rogue Traders are simply the most fun you can have in 40k, I ran a Rogue Trader campaign at one point and one of my players was a Ork Butler. Did it make sense? Hell no, but it was funny as hell!
Ork: Wuld ya like sum teah sur?
Trader lord: Yes, Dug-Rok, and could you deal with the nurgling infestation in the ac?
Ork: "loads high powered minigun" uf corse suh.
“Suh, da problemz delt wiff.”
“Thank you Dug-Rok. One last thing, please, can you organize my Tau/Eldar hentai magazines for me?”
“Ahf kourse, suh.”
"Ya wan sum big scoopa on dis big shoota, suh?"
The Ork is a butler because the Rogue Trader is the Big Boss and he knows the big trader boss is the strongest and if he's with the strongest boss then he is stronger than the other Orks and that sounds like a good idea to be with the rogue trader
Returned to this episode to say the Rogue Trader CRPG is a great introduction for newcomers to the 40K universe and even the genre!
Trading with orks should have a slogan saying:
"if trading guns, bring a bigger gun"
For added protection.
When I play the Rogue Trader video game, I want to roleplay as an overall nice guy and see how far that gets me with the more radical parts of the Imperium
You know what'd be based? If you can fall to Chaos for being too nice.
Ciaphas Cain is nice. The Salamanders are nice.
@@marinribaric9749”nice” ….hmm
Imagine slaanesh giving you powers because you donate insane amounts of money to random begars and help them to use it properly. The amount of emotional heights that person would feel and the lows of those who didnt get chosen.
@@AAhmouI mean its possible the road to hell is paved with good intentions so I fill find out on December 7th
" It's drip or drown - and by the Emperor, I'm drippin'. " - Rogue Trader
As a Rogue Trader you are pretty much as free as an Inquisitor. But you don't have to do the cop shit.
sometimes they are the inquisitor, sometimes the warrant of trade HELPS
Cannot just investigate if nobody will let you into the system after all, but if you happen to arrive on a system selling nice food then get off the ship posing as a lowly worker then nobody will have any idea what you are up to
Depends on the warrant, some were issued post-heresy, those have less authority than one signed by Big E himself. If you get a Big E signed warrant you can tell the Ordo Xenos to piss off for a vast majority of xenos interactions. Bbut those warrants are getting rarer and rarer.
You don't have to but if you happen to encounter an Inquisitor they'll probably rather strongly insist that, yes, you _do_ , in fact, have to do cop shit.
@@steweygrrrthat will happen in the game.
@@doombybbrPeople forget that there are as many inquisitors who prefer doing uncover spy stuff as the ones doing the bossing around. Amberly Veil is one of the examples. She said the talking and disguise skill is as useful for a tool as pysker power. And she was undercover as a singer when she met commissar Cain. We need more flamboyant James Bond style inquisitors. There are too many serious gloomy ones already.
In the Rogue Trader ttrpg, you can have a member of the team be a drukkari, which is hilarious, as it lowers the morale of your crew because the weird uncanny-valley-faced lanky emo in spiky leather that skinned greg, the plasma conduit operator, alive, recorded his screams of agony and is either using them as an ASMR track or remixing them into a classical-dubstep music hybrid is actually best bud with the captain of your ship
Oh no!
😂 screamo edm
You can also have an Ork as a member of your crew, which is super funny.
The Rogue Trader found this random ork weirboy, and morale drops because he's always spouting weird nonsense about how Joe in the gunnery bay needs to paint the macrocannon shells red to make them fly faster
Hey, remember when you guys did the contest on who can make the best art and interpretation of an imperial knights houses. I think this would be a great time to do that again for rogue traders.
Seconded!
Thirded!
Hell yeah, my favorite little guys, the actual main chararacters of 40k
Just a little rogue trader
There is a reason 40k started with the single Rogue Trade book. I remember when Army Lists first started coming out in White Dwarf. Playing 40k in those days was far more freeform. Games could be anywhere from 200-5000 pts (though lower points were more common o course). But even as bad ass as a Space Marine was, Rogue Traders were soooo much better.
Like Balthier from FF XII.
Given how the episodes usually go, I´m actually surprised they didn't mention that Rouge Trader in the Plague Wars that flirts with Guilliman and calls him "Robu"
Did this rouge trader wear lots of makeup?
@@TheSniperGTONo, just a bit of Rouge.
What is the name of said individual?
@@Dracobyte Yassilli Sulymanya
@@Tanookitsune thank you for answering!!
Man, you can really tell Bricky is getting good at saying words good. Proud of you man
But for real, everyone in the podcast have improved a lot since their early days.
He learn big word. Talk pretty now
Rogue Trader Sangrea, Mistress of the Golden Fleet was a rogue trader from the time of the great crusade and horus heresy that fought on Tallarn vs both the Iron Warriors and loyalists. Her fleet was gigantic and she had Imperial Knights sworn to her.
What happened to her?
@@Dracobyte The fleet returned to Tallarn because it was from there that it had departed to go on their exploration mission decades before, so she had ideia about the civil war. She saw humans infighting in her Emperors realm and passed judgement destroying both fleets, leaving only the survivors on the planet to keep fighting. There's no further information of what she did after leaving that battle.
@@isawaryokage thank you for the information!
An episode about the Rogue Traders on my birthday?
Thank you guys, this was an awesome present!
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday
Happy birthday!
Hb my friendo
Happy birthday
Guilliman: Blasted Rogue traders, they can wander the stars and get themselves Eldar waifus...such a life is too far from my reach
Me: But Lord Guilliman, you are a Primarch, you have the authority to give a Warrant of Trade to anyone...
Guilliman: *Grabs ink and paper with xenophilic intent*
Is that actually true.
@@nmr7203 yes, the Emperor and Primarchs had the authority to give the warrants
When Bricky said that "Thing of silk" was worth a regiment of Guardsmen to buy, he probably meant that literally.
Yup!
Honestly, conquistador is probably the most apt comparison. A Rogue Trader, like a Conquistador, is essentially an investor who is using his investment as a means to explore and trade at the behest of the kingdom (in this case, the Imperium).
Conquistadors had more restrictions though, and things like the conquest of the Aztec Empire were actually illegal.
Well yeah, and the rogue traders often do illegal stuff. However, just like with the aztecs if it works and makes enough money everyone just shrugs
It's like a conquistador/privateer hybrid.
do i see a DJPC enjoyer?
@@ExtraRaven_
Yup. Great series.
Returned to this episode to say the Rogue Trader CRPG is a great introduction for newcomers to the 40K universe and even the genre!
Listening to this while playing my first Rogue Trader run.
Also Cassia is SO ADORABLE. Shy nobles are adorable.
Ah, yes, the way to get Eldar woman and not get shot by Inquisition.
Are rogue traders really that free?
@@kalebgonzales4009 Kinda. "I travelled to this alien planet for ""diplomacy"" " is fine. The inquisitor isnt going to look into it any deeper and you can tell him to f off if he tries. But "Hey mr inquisitor may i introduce you to my big tiddy tau GF" is ABSOLUTELY going to get you shot.
So yeah its technically possible. Just have to be subtle about it.
Or be a primarch
@@kalebgonzales4009Depends on context, out amongst the stars far from imperial jurisdiction? Rogue traders are the emperor’s representative and can do more or less whatever. So long as it doesn’t damage or put the imperium at risk? No one is gonna do much.
Inside the imperium, they have a lot of leeway in travel and can conduct business of a sort but if if includes alien tech? They can get into some trouble if it isn’t the Mechanicus receiving it.
@@raptorxrise5386 Depends where you do it even.
Inquisitors aren't dumb, or at least most of them aren't, and if they're on a Rogue Trader's ship at the time, they're really not going to cause a fuss about anything outside of blatant chaos worship/genestealer cult etc level stuff, as they're fully aware that the rosette doesn't stop bullets from the whole crew who are going to be loyal to the Rogue Trader and not them, or just from being tossed out into the void to ponder their opinions about xenos intercourse.
If the Rogue Trader though unwisely flaunts his Tau GF at the Planetary Governer's ball then yep now that's when the getting shot is absolutely on the table.
Bricky: 1987
Me: Hey that's my birth year
Bricky: That's some old, old stuff
Me: *climbs in my coffin*
I have a soft spot for Rogue Traders as far as Imperial stuff is concerned. They're basically the protagonists of a 1930's pulp magazine, only IN SPACE.
This just reminded me of the Rogue Trader Game. (I played EA, Alpha and Beta extensively, mainly looking for Bugs)
Most Fun Story Decision was to sell a Planet of the Imperium (It was my Planet) to a Craftworld, because I needed them to fight of a Slanesh Cult that had overtaken the Planet - Plants and Animals were already showing Demonic Corruption, and a Guard Regiment is not well suited to get rid of this. So I sold the World to the Eldar, they had some humans manipulated to "Rule" the Planet in their interest on the front, but in reality a Farseer would make all the decisions.
In the End I had a to tell this an Inquisitor - "Jeah I kind of Sold an Imperial World to Xenos" - And he was fine with it, because the Advantages were good enough :D
Diplomacy 101. 😊
This game will launch on December 13th.
damn if you get to do shit like that, I am very excited for this game
Returned to this episode to say the Rogue Trader CRPG is a great introduction for newcomers to the 40K universe and even the genre!
For the Mass effect analogy, I would compare Rouge traders to be more like the pathfinders from Andromeda, who have a more exploratory nature, while also still being militaristic when they need to be.
With a lot less bugs and woobly weird eyes.
I read the title of the video in banes voice “the universe is yours! Take it !”
Now imagine Scarface parody but with Rogue Trader.
Now I read it in Gol D. Roger's voice
Of course!
Rogue Trader:
Walks the walk.
Talks the talk.
Has drip.
He's a Him.
"...Rogue Traders have their own kind of Inquisitorial Rosette". Which is known as Money.
in his defense, there IS a space wolf in that rogue trader picture
I played a RT PnP game where the Warrant of Trade was the most hardcore thing ever.
Instead of a piece of parchment, it was a tattooed on the back of the RT. Game started off right before the RT in our group got his Warrent of Trade, as he was supposed to inherit it from one of his relatives. The session ending with him getting a skin graft from his relative with the warrant of trade.
Speaking of orks.... there ARE Rogue Traders that have orks on their crew, Freebootas.... and Rogue Traders tends to abandon those orks on random planet or place number 7, when it starts feeling iffy when that ork will just take shit and krump some crew before escaping. XD
Also speaking of old Rogue Traders... there are some that are 400 or more years old cuz rare rejuvenant treatments and certain near-extinct flowers that can be refined into a liquid that LITERALLY extends lifespan, not merely repairs genetic damage from aging and makes you look 50. ACTUAL 'oh now I get to live ANOTHER 100 years, wonderful!'.
There's some Rogue Traders who have Ork Weirdboyz on the crew. Weirdboyz tend to be smarter than other orks (though that's not a particularly high bar) and their ork psychic powers can often manifest as visions and prophecies.
Like in a campaign I'm in, a player is playing as a Weirdboy, who joined because Gork and Mork told them to "Help da shiny humie"
I liked the story were a Rogue trader went to a bunch of orks asking for help in nearby planet that was being attacked by chaos..
Rogue trader: "Theres a big fight over on the nearby planet we need at least 500 of your ships to-"
Ork warboss: You'z 'ad uz at big foight!"
So 3000 ork ships follow this rogue trader into the defense of this world
I love how many people tries to explain what a Rogue Trader is when the easiest conclusion is that they are straight up Space Conquistadors, complete with looting, pillaging and enslavement of entire planets. Fun for the whole family (unless you are one of the poor SOB´s being targeted by the Rogue Traders conquering spree)!
A cool thing about some Rogue Traders that touches what you mention about the convenient political exile is that many trading houses got their Warrants directly from the Emperor in the time between the Unification of Terra and the beginning of the Great Crusade, who did that as a way to trim the ranks of all those scheming Terran petty lords and nobles and to send them do something constructive far, far away.
And those "Exiled" Noble Houses would prefer the opportunity of more freedom, money and fame, rather that to die and/or waste resources, time or money in a petty rivalry war.
I am so excited for the full release of the Rogue Trader game in December and I’m sure a lot of other people here are pumped as well
Sure I am!
This video made me check out the rogue trade data sheets. The whole unit has a 5+ feel no pain and lets you redeploy d3 battleline units. Which could be itself if it’s leading voidsmen. But most likely could be protecting a 20 man primaris crusader squad you set up on the line or moving a second 20 man to the line. Or doing the same thing with warglaive knights. Putting grey knight terminators or custodian guard back into deepstrike. After your opponent decides not to screen.
I had an aneurysm just reading that. God old hammer rules were wacky. Is this 1st or second edition?
@@Tortle-Man right now man
Modern rules. The unit is the kill team: Euclidean starstriders
Rouge Traders are hands down my favourite aspect of the Imperium! They can do so much wacky bullshit while not being completely free from the eye of the Inquisition.
That's the fun part of the Imperium. Even the mightiest and most independent individuals will eventually come to the point where they better know that they are but tiny cogs in a giant uncaring machine. Even (or especially) roigue traders must keep that in mind.
Returned to this episode to say the Rogue Trader CRPG is a great introduction for newcomers to the 40K universe and even the genre!
It is time! Been looking forward to when you guys cover this topic!
I can totally see people in 1987 seeing that artwork and going “hell ya”
This brings back memories of the rogue trader game I did with my friends a while back. It's always fun to play an explorator that rolls critical successes on almost all their acquisition rolls for cybernetics. Also directing a castellax class battle automata. That thing shredded hive gangers... and regular hivers... and planetary defense forces... a lot of target data was acquired.
This also reminds me of Enter Elysium' Rogue Trader campaign.
So many deep cuts. Brings back my childhood. Rogue Trader was so fun
here's a good reference if you wondering how the rougue traders operate. "a proppa krumpin'"
it's a short story but a good one, it's about a rougue trader and an ork.
Returned to this episode to say the Rogue Trader CRPG is a great introduction for newcomers to the 40K universe and even the genre!
The Rogue Trader stories are amazing. A grab bag if characters on a ship exploring is the gift that keeps on giving.
My favourite description of a Rogue Trader (from Tallarn: Ironclad)
"It came from the warp without warning. Clusters of war barques, bombardment barges and battle cruisers, spread into a wide sphere from the wounds of their re-entry.
The Eagle Claw drifted at their centre, its ancient hull glimmering in the thin light of the stars.
In the time of the Great Crusade the Eagle Claw had changed from a lone ship reeving far ahead of the Emperor’s crusade forces to the flagship of a fleet. Each ship of that fleet had been a prize of conquest, as had the wealth which filled their holds with mercenary companies from across the galaxy. The fees paid to the Sacristan Geneo-het warriors alone were said to have been enough that they would have beggared kings. Yet the mistress of the Golden Fleet had paid them for a hundred years of service in advance, and they were not alone.
Three hundred warriors of the XIII Legion rode in the Eagle Claw, and the bodyguard who stood at the ship mistress’s shoulder had stood in the battle lines of the first battles of unity.
During the Great Crusade, some had objected to the half-mocking title given to the Emperor’s privateer pathfinders, but it fitted the Golden Fleet and its mistress to perfection.
Rogue Trader, they had called her, and now she had brought her war fleet back from beyond the edge of conquest, and found a war.
She had left the Imperium from Tallarn a decade before and struck out into the dust cloud reaches of the Morai Veil. She had served and built the Imperium since a time when its name and nature were still fresh with newborn strength.
Yet for all her power, she knew that she would never be a part of the Imperium she was building. People of her kind had faced a choice with the coming of the Emperor: serve out in the dark, or be destroyed. She had chosen to serve, but a part of her had always hoped that she could return and die in the lands she had helped create.
The truth that formed piece by piece as she listened and read the data from her auspexes said that the Imperium she had left had died, that everything she had helped to build was burning from within.
When she spoke her words were quiet.
‘Take us in,’ she said"
Like they say in the Rogue Trader game about the romancable drukhari: Crazy in the head, crazy in the bed
Fun Fact: the guy who made Bricky‘s beloved „Roboogey“ meme is celebrating his birthday today!
Rogue Traders have the most gift in the galaxy; closest thing to Freedom.
One of my favorite facts about the Rogue Traders is that some of the oldest dynasties have their charter signed by Big E himself
So graphic design is His passion?
I'm surprised the difference between _Warrants of Trade_ and _Letters of Marque_ weren't mentioned, or that some of the most ancient _Warrants_ have the Emperor's own personal seal on them. And bearers of those particular charters have expanded authority and can't be superceded within the rights listed since they technically source their right to trade from a level above the High Lords.
What is the difference? Whivh one os which?
@@DracobyteWarrants are hereditary establishing Rogue Trader houses that operates according to its own rules of succession. Unless a succession crisis is caused, no one really needs to get involved.
Letters of Marque are smaller scale and any would-be successors need to essentially reapply like you would a permit.
Both are generally considered rogue traders, but one is less autonomous than the other.
@@thegreenjackal thank you for the useful answer!
Warrants of trade are also tranferable, not only by inheritance, but also by buying a Rogue Trader out or winning a game of cards or other shenanigans.
I hope the drukhari romance in the game is like Morinth's in ME2 and she just kills you during the act.
Wishful thinking because its a He

Not really. There is a trilogy by Graham McNeill called "Forges of Mars" about a Mechanicus Explorator fleet featuring some Rogue Trades. @@Dracobyte
@@ditlevbjerregaard571 thank you for the information!
That image of smug Shy at the end. (chef's kiss)
On (former) Inquisitors becoming Rogue Traders: Often it's not a matter of being officially ordered: "turn in your rosette". Often it's more that it's officially a massive honor and reward that you likely can't really afford to refuse without offending even more of the high ranking assholes, plus it likely comes with a "try to refuse anyway and we will send in assassins". But a reward that will necessarily take him the way the fuck away, even if they do manage to keep their official status as an Inquisitor in addition to being a Rogue Trader.
And on this note, it's also somewhat similar to the issue of "who outrank who" between Rogue Traders and Inquisitors: Officially, outside the formal borders of the Imperium, the Rogue Traders have primacy, while inside, the Inquisitors have it. In practice, it's an unholy mix of contacts, influences, favors, agendas, previous commitments, and, of course, who currently has more immediate access to the most firepower in the vicinity. An Inquisitor that tries to order a well established Rogue Trader about with no concern for politics will suddenly find that, well, that Rogue Trader likely already has contact and deals with other Inquisitors (and a myriad of other high ranking individuals and Imperial organizations) that aren't happy that you're messing with their own agenda, even aside any favors the Rogue Trader might call in.
The rogue trader being conquistadors is pretty accurate
Actually the ep I've been waiting for
Damn I had no idea rouge trader came out on my birthday. This really is a gift
I've had this game and been waiting on launch for MONTHS. I had to stop playing the current version so it's even better when launch comes.
@30:54 now we need a Rogue Trader Poster with all swagger and drip.
A lil bit of heresy makes the imperium go round
I dream of the day of a Grim Dark flavor of Mass Effect game where you're just a rouge trader.
I cant not imagine Captain Zedek of warhams when they were talking about this, Would love to see reaction from the team and i would 100% buy a shirt: just a little ham
DLC idea! Rogue Trader: the Search for One Piece
Bricky went the whole episode without describing rogue traders as privateers in space, honestly impressive.
Knowing what Dante almost did to the Silent King the Eldar have every right to be suspicious about humans on there Craftworlds
What did he do?
@@Dracobyte he tried to suicide bomb the Silent King with a nuke until the Silent King convinced him not to by saying he knew Sangunuise and had possession of a Death Mask of Sangunuise
@@jeambeam3173 thanks for the info!
Perfect timing, I'm running a Rogue Trader TTRPG game right now and the first major boss fight is tomorrow.
The Starstriders are older mini's? Dude, they're killteam minis, can't be over 3 years of age. That's brand spanking new!
Definitely playing this game
here's a good question, if you were a rogue trader which space marine would you have and why? personally I would go with minotaur legion because they are good at fighting other space marines, they look awesome and trying to communicate with him would be very difficult but interesting. what would be yours?
Old Deathwatch Imperial Fist Vet. Help me understand these xenos so we can set up trade, and if they fold I have the expert on how to break them
Some of the Dark Angel deserters that still loyal to the Imperial, they need to be protected from DA loyalist and Rogue Traders probably the best choice for them. They know how to dealt with common STC and the probably an older one since Lion's hobby is to collect STC and never use them, unless...
Salamander. Biggest bodyguard and a voice of reason when things get crazy. Plus there’s also the fact he maintains his gear and I could have an 8 foot tall warrior covered in bright green and gold armor protecting me with a giant flamer or thunder hammer/shield.
I just imagined A BONE head Ogryn Rogue trader who wears normal Ogryn cloths but with a fancy monocule and hat, as well as speaks in broken high gothic. This is virtually impossible but it would be the funniest shit to me.
Better, a Rogue Trader with PLENTIFUL enemies dinds literally the most intelligent Ogryn in the galaxy and convinces the big guy to "pretend to be him" so he can half fake his heath.
Imperial Citizen: “Hey, there are these blue guys with some Greater Good…”
*boltgun intensifies*
The equivalent of the rogue traders and their officials paper would be a literal privateer.
They were pirates hired by the crown to plunder ennemies ship. They had a "lettre de marque" giving them permission to do so. In return they had to give back a share of the loot back to their government. The down side was that if you were captured by ennemies, well sucks to be you, you're on your own.
Blackbeard started as a privateer before he turned to piracy!
I reccomend the Rogue Trader table top rpg. It fleshes out the types of Rogue Traders, and offices under them.
fun fact there are indeed two worlds made of adamantium but the admech has no method to harvest them source: the death of antagonis
Don’t tell the leagues. They’d get the planet crackers.
"We found a whole planet of indestructible metal"
"How are we going to harvest them"
"....."
They just build tiny Villages on the small Valleys with out of place fertile Soil
Exterminatus the planet.
Correct me if im wrong, but arent Rogue Traders also allowed to recruit ANYONE into their crew, including Xenos amd dont those Xenos basically get Imperial citizenship as long as they stay in the Rogue Traders crew?
Yep, in the rpg you could even have an Ork Freebooter on the crew.
@@stryke-jn3kv my question is how are those Xenos treated? Like do they have any way to show that they are in a Rogue Traders group?
@@Coyotebriggs Rogue Traders are so individualistic you can pretty much come up with any level of treatment and it'd be right for at least some of them. Again for showing they're in the crew in terms of identification that's up to the Rogue Trader in question, but there's not something like an official xenos outfit or hat. Thing is though is in the Imperium the xenos will stay on the ship most of the time, and when they're not, they will always be in the company if the Rogue Trader who will vouch for them as being part of their crew.
There is a process by which xenos can be branded and basically treated as 'not shoot on sight' by the Imperium, but they do *not* get treated as part of the Imperium. The thing you need to understand about Rogue Traders is that it isn't what they're allowed to do, it's what they can get away with, and given that they can just leave the Imperium they can get away with a LOT.
@@Coyotebriggs In the worst Rogue Trader, even a human can be treated like a thrall. In the decent Rogue Trader, Xenos are pretty much their friends or co-workers.
It is my birthday having an episode come out td and on one of my fav topics. Thank u, sm
At first i was disappointed yall hadnt covered the Space Wolves yet but now i honesty expect it to be the last one you do and what better way to end your Space Marine Chapter podcasts!
Do not worry, their time will come.
This reminds me of a renegade homebrew I made that made a deal with a rogue trader house to protect their fleet when needed and they will be able to provide aspirants for them to recruit as well as provide supplies for weapons and gear maintenance. I was afraid that was unrealistic until I watched this
Tonight on the Ridiculous Tour:
Bricky makes _countless_ references to Starfield.
DK quips about the horror of Grimdark Black Friday
And Shy sits quietly by a creek, skipping stones and contemplating the joy of a quiet afternoon, far away from Bricky and DK and their shenanigans, before picking up her Bolter and going purging.
I think it would be awesome to see your group playing Rogue Trader itd be so fun
One thing to think about is that an imperial warrant of trade acts both as a license to trade with anyone you want, but also as a letter of marque. Rogue traders are basically privateers as much as traders and explorers, they have license to do pretty much whatever, find new markets to include both lost human colonies and benign xenos, conduct military expeditions, hunt pirates (both human and xenos), establish new colonies, and create what are basically their own fiefdoms within under imperial charter. Some of them are so powerful they basically rule their own interstellar empires only owing fealty to the wider Imperium of man.
"Abelard! May you remember the Inquisitor that my Warrant of Trade to allow me to do this with this Eldar Corsair Captain? Thanks."
Even though I am still playing BG3 I am really looking forward to Rogue Trader.
In summary: It's a 40k DnD party.
There is a TTRPG and an upcoming CRPG about Rogue Traders.
From the quote, I would have guessed a lord militant, or some type of Imperial general.
Maybe even Lord Solar Mecharius, so the piraty guess was pretty good
How extremely on brand it is to have them do an unpaid advertisement for Rogue Trader that consists almost exclusively on them playing fuck-marry-fuck with the companions.
Very and I would appreciate more of this.
In DK's defense; there was a space wolf on the cover of Rogue Trader.
Also, Cpt. Zeddick; author of Zeddickuette, captain of the Debt Collector; the best darn Rogue Trader to have existed!
They are captains paid to map out the Galaxy for Humanity
I just want a 40K Mass Effect game where you go around being a licensed renegade space-privateer recruiting amenable servants and even a xeno or two, digging up ancient archeotech, rediscovering lost worlds, brokering deals, and doling out the Will of the Emperor. Rogue Trader does look good, but it's more of a raid style game where I really want something more like, basically like Starfield but in 40k (also because GW for all their faults makes things that really DO "just work," for the most part)
Oh to be a rogue trader with an Ork crewmember
47:49 Their last had a Half Elf that was pretty much a Drukhari but in DnD/Pathfinder. She was all sorts of messed up lmao
Rogue Traders: One of the organizations that has the most freedom within the Imperium. Can not wait for the CRPG 1.0 version release!
This is just going to be shy playing rogue trader early eith commentsry from bricky and DK

“WAS THAT THE ART OF 87?”
Book club this week?! Finally!!!!
Oiiii! Guilliman!! Sing me that paper over yonder!
Drukhari romance is gonna go crazy. I forget the quote but it was something like, "So you...enslave eachother??? I don't understand..."
