Is the Corvus Cluster too broad in its storytelling? Is it juggling too many story lines for a narrative campaign? These questions came to mind when I wrote a recent story where the Slannesh daemon, Lady Adriana, planned a little mischief involving my favorite Rogue Trader, Adeon Drake. […]
“I’m bored.” Lady Adriana, consort to Count Johann Feracci, lord of House Feracci and holder of a sacred Warrant of Trade, raised her wine glass to her perfectly formed lips and took a sip. “I find that statement astonishing . . . and a tad amusing.” Adriana turned […]
It should be noted that although Rogue Traders are shipmasters who travel the vastness of space, their authority to do so comes not from a Merchant Charter, but rather a letter of appointment that elevates them to the authority equalling Space Marine Chapter Masters, Inquisitors and Planetary Governors. Some of the more ancient ones are […]
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 […]

Originally dismissed as nothing more than simple stone pillars, they proved anything but—as Drake began to run toward his shuttle, he could see […]
Ambush on Morkai is a three-player scenario that takes place on the world of Morkai, a planet in the Vengence System of the Corvus Cluster. The hero of this adventure is Adeon Drake, a swashbuckling, somewhat shady Rogue Trader. He has arrived in a remote desert town to […]
TURN 4 DRAKE: Now the fight begins in earnest. Drake and two men hop the wall and attack Adriana and her men. Everyone is a tough, experienced fighter, and Adriana and her men avoid harm. Two of Drake’s crewmen jump the wall and keep going. Someone has to […]
Beneath a large hand-held fan, slowly waved by an exhausted, sweating servant, Lady Adriana sits on a shaded balcony and sips on her iced drink. “Has Drake arrived, dearest?” “I see him, my darling,” replies Count Johann Feracci, who stands by a balcony railing that overlooks the town […]
