Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a RPG developed by Owlcat Games set in the Warhammer 40,000 setting and loosely inspired by the Rogue Trader system. The player is cast as a recently discovered by-blow of the von Valancius dynasty of Rogue Traders: independent agents licensed by the Imperium of Man to ply its vast reaches, exploring the galaxy and troubleshooting the economic woes of the Points of Light Setting that is humanity in the closing days of the 41st Millennium. Lord Captain Theodora von Valancius took the Player Character aboard at her last port of call to become an apprentice Rogue Trader and possible candidate to become heir to the dynasty. En route to their next port of call, however, a mutiny fomented by agents of the Ruinous Powers of Chaos breaks out aboard the von Valancius flagship, critically endangering the tens of thousands of lives aboard. Amidst the confusion, Theodora and the Player Character's competitor Edelthrad are both killed, forcing the Player Character to take responsibility for the ship and the Rogue Trader's Protectorate much sooner than planned.
