of Shipbuilding
step, and page references are included to refer back to the
core rulebook.
However, creating the ship is really only the ﬁ rst step. Once
all the nuts and bolts are in place, the GM should sit down with
his players and the entire group should determine their ship’s
history. The easiest place to start devising its history is the
result the group rolled on Table 8–2: Past Histories. Obviously,
if a ship was wrested from a space hulk, or contains strange and
exotic xenos technology, it will factor greatly into the ship’s
story. However, other aspects of the starship’s construction can
be just as important. For example, a starship’s Machine Spirit
Oddity can prove an excellent story point. What adventures
resulted in a frigate having a nose for trouble, and what travails
did the stoic light cruiser have to endure? Beyond that, even
a starship’s Components can provide story hooks, especially
if those Components are xenostech or archeotech in origin.
What dark deals did the ship’s former captain make to outﬁ t
his vessel with a ghost ﬁ eld, and could it be a source of trouble
if the Inquisition suddenly takes an interest?
A good background story helps bring a ship and its crew
to life, and also provides the GM with any number of plot
hooks and building blocks for further adventures.
On the last page, this supplement has a “cheat sheet” for
starship combat, for quick references in the heat of battle.

“The Guard tanks crush foes beneath their treads, the mighty Titans
lay waste to worlds, but our voidships establish our ascendency over
the very stars.”
–Aspyce Chorda, against the pirate reavers of Iniquity

, the party’s starship is more than a mere
means of transportation. It is intended to be an additional
member of the party, with a design that is unique to its
Rogue Trader and his crew. More than that, a starship also
has its own quirks, idiosyncrasies, and personality traits.
Sometimes these make sense, like the cruiser that bristles
with martial pride and eagerly engages its foes. However,
sometimes the strangest combinations—a skittish warship
or a wrothful transport with a death cult in Hold 24—
can make for the most interesting background stories and
roleplaying opportunities.
This supplement is intended to aid the players and GM in
the starship creation process, by breaking it down into a step-
by-step process. Charts detail the available choices at every

When selecting the hull, make sure it costs less Ship Points
than the Explorers have available. To properly outﬁ t their
vessel, the Explorers will likely need at least ﬁ ve or more
extra Ship Points after they have selected their Hull. Once
the hull has been selected, take note of how much Space the
hull provides for the starship’s Components.

When adding Components to a starship, the Explorers
must be aware of their starship’s available power and
space. Both are ﬁ xed stats (power is provided by the
Plasma Drive Component, while space is provided by
the Hull Component). Most Components require a
certain amount of both to operate. The total required
power and required space of all Components should
not exceed the available amounts (see the penalties for
doing so in
R
O G U E
T
R A D E R
page 191).
Choose one and only one Component from each of the
categories.
Make note of how much power is provided by the Plasma
Drive. Then, note how much power the other Components
use, how much space all the Components use, and how many
Ship Points were spent on the Components.
