Rogue Trader's Traders invariably surround themselves with a coterie of allies and retainers. No Rogue Trader can undertake their mission alone, for no man or woman can be master of every single aspect of trade, exploration, exploitation, and war. As a result, all of the most successful Rogue Traders have the ingrained ability to recognise the value of others and their motivations and, as a leader, are able to utilise every weapon and ability in their human arsenal to their full potential.
Though they must rely on others for the most specialised of skills (not to mention certain needful resources), it falls to the Rogue Trader to know how and when to exercise their own judgement and how to delegate where needed. They may not steer the helm of their [[cruiser|void-cruiser]], nor fire and aim every [[macrocannon]] in person, but the Rogue Trader selects and commands those who do and it is their orders that are obeyed. Likewise they may know little of the arcane rites of the [[Imperial Fleet Equipment#Support Systems|augury]] and [[auspex]], but it is ultimately their decision whether or not to trust the word of the [[Explorator]] who claims it safe to breathe the air of a newly discovered world.{{Fn|1h}}
