Rogue Traders are some of the wealthiest people in the Imperium, or have the potential to be. Thus, they can afford the best life-extension treatments around. Of course, their career path is one fraught with peril, so all the juvinat treatments in the world won't help you when the Orks smash you to pieces or your ship gets sucked into the Warp, but it's conceivable that some Rogue Traders will be around for hundreds of years at a stretch.

>>6493686
Technically it means "land owner".

>>6493686
In America, esquire is a title taken by especially condescending lawyers.

Most go with "attorney at law" but if you were knighted in Britain and but you're a rich WASP lawyer over here then you can be Sir ______, Esq. if you really want to rub everyone's face in it.

I'm disappointed that nobody is commenting on my John Smith DCCXLVIII, though.

There are tons of name generators out there, surely one or more produces fitting names?

I think the lacking is what gives it its appeal. He is John Smith DCCXLVIII, son of John Smith DCCXLVII, and his son will be John Smith DCCXLIX, whose son will be John Smith DCCL, whose son will be Monty Smith because he will never actually learn to read but will be good enough at faking shit in general that nobody will call him on it until the birth certificate is already made out.

>>6494099

I imagine a Rogue Trader flying all over the sector, sleeping with every attractive woman who catches his eye, then making them sign a contract stating that any and all male offspring be named after him. He even brings along his very own Leporello to page through his extensive ledger of descendants to ensure that they're all properly numbered.

Jaaku Castigate-All-Wickedness Kairk Ahwin Frost

He grew up in a void convent/orphanage, run by semi-corrupt members of the ecclesiarchy who they'd shuffled off for being paedophiles.
He accidentially managed to convince the machine spirit to commit suicide and then led an orphanage revolt, captured the rogue trader vessel docked at the station and became a sort of rogue trader/thrill seeker, taking on pirates and raiders and generally getting a name for himself.
Up until the point he face planted the entire ship on a planet. He was picked up three years later, with the entire ill-gotten gains of a small pirate kingdom, which brings us up to today.
He has a strange and disquieting accent that some people may find, well strewth, a bit aggravating you know?

My characters might be newbloods who want to mount a titan on their prow, but out of the few NPC Rogue Traders they interact with they absolutely adore "Phinneas DuBois" who is all about haute couture age old french shit, whos entire entourage is in french spectacular with boufant hairdos, grapplehawks embedded in caged hair, powdered wigs and lots of jokaero tech ridonculous weapons embedded wherever.

I always make sure to RP them as being entirely snobby but all about the party, focusing on fashion and the extravagance of what they're eating (Stewed void kraken, whatever).... It's been stupid fun,


Also Im sorry if this post sucks I just got home from an early halloween drunknight and I am fucked up to shit.

>>6494526
And I just want to say I made like 5-6 other Rogue Trader Dynasties expecting this one to be the their main rival, but they flat out LOVED it, hit on any female (or male for my 2 female PCs) entourage, and otherwise fully embraced it. So I had to conceptually rewrite my entire meta-story and set the "straight up honest" types as the villains. Fucking weird. But RT is awesome.

Correction, His Highness Arnold "Ace" Rimmer III.

>>6494620
I think someone should stat the Red Dwarf. Personally I'd stick it Imperial Grand Cruiser sized (though I am totally forgetting my RD lore), under a Battleship but over a Battlecruiser.

>>6494603

Sounds like win to me, my good sir. A blessed venture and a healthy profit to you and your players.

>>6494666
Absolutely, it's been working out awesome! I had just entirely underestimated my players- They completely leaped into the "we are super-nobles" thing and discarded all the hard-fought or whatever "low-lifes" (as they call them) other NPCs. So I had to very quickly switch my villains! Not a big deal, literally from a GM standpoint just switching a name...


but I never saw this coming! I LOOOOOVE that my players are spending their ship-refit time doing PF checks to get.... get this.. HIGH FASHION outfits so they can make other RT entourage people swoon.

Seriously I think they're just going to date/marry into this other dynasty and while I didn't expect it I am totally into it!

Horatio Hornblower the MMMCMLXXVIth

>>6494783
Marry into a second dynasty? Just the prospect of that brings up a whole bunch of stuff regarding marriage for RTs; would they typically be arranged, do they merge at all or does someone essentially 'leave the family'?

>>6494783

The whole marriage thing should be a quest. Maybe even an Endeavour, with the end goal being to gain net Profit for the PC dynasty by strategic marriage and dowry arrangements. Also, they need to divvy up trade routes, star charts, ships, Navigators, etc.

>>6494169
What about his daughters? They're perfectly viable Rogue Trader candidates as well, especially if they're resourceful enough to remove all their siblings, brother and sister alike, from the running.

>>6495386
Valerie?

>>6495504

Of course. I never meant to imply that they weren't.

They just wouldn't have to be named John Smith the Whateverth.

BUT, bonus points if said promiscuous Rogue Trader insists that ALL his offspring, male OR female, be named John Smith.

Formerly a ranking officer of Battlefleet Calaxis and a member of the esteemed Vinzenz bloodline of Battlefleet Nobles. Upon receiving his Writ of Trade, he adopted the new name Odovacar to differentiate his (hopefully) new Rogue Trader dynasty from the Vinzenz family (but still maintains some ties).

Red Dwarf's official size has always been listed in the show as "the size of a city", and one of the Red Dwarf books ("Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers") lists it as 6 miles long, 5 miles tall, and 4 miles wide. How big that is relative to Imperial ships, however, is something I don't know.

Captain-king Jambreen-John Vasquez

>>6496165
That is not the size of a city.

>>6496174

True, but those measurements are only valid if you accept the books as canon. If not, then the "size of a city" comment still stands.

>>6496174
Yeah! Who ever heard of a city five miles high?

>and one of the Red Dwarf books ("Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers") lists it as 6 miles long, 5 miles tall, and 4 miles wide. How big that is relative to Imperial ships, however, is something I don't know.

It's about light cruiser size.

My current Inquisitor Lord-proxy is Rogue Trader Lady ,Vee, Lavender Thistle.

>>6496202

Given that Red Dwarf is meant to be a mining vessel, that's not bad, relatively speaking.

>>6496202
No, thats Crusier size. Light crusier are about one third shorter assuming BFG ships are in scale to each other.

>>6496248

I thought cruisers were about 7 to 8 miles long, Battleships around the 12 miles long size. Light Cruiser's clocking in a 5 to 6, Frigates no more than 4, and everything else around 3 miles long?

Superior warp drive is superior.

>>6496424

I think the Ship sizes comparison website has some semi-official sizes for the things. A cobra is 3 miles long for instance.

>>6496424
According to the RT book frigates and raiders are ~1.5km long. Cruisers are 5km or so, Light Cruisers being slightly shorter (4.5km).

Imperial ships need to be huge because they're 99% wasted space. Doing things like using a thousand slaves to reload a single gun. Or having vast areas of the ship so unnecessary they're abandoned.

We need some good art to go with these.
