==Rogue Traders==
All Dating back to the very birth of the Imperium during the time of the [[Great Crusade]],{{Fn|39}} Rogue Traders are highly exceptional individuals who are driven to success even though these exceptional people often have extreme character quirks themselves; some destroy entire worlds for the slightest reason, or include alien warriors and [[mutant]]s among their entourage.{{Fn|1c}} Some are highly pious while others are no more than legitimised pirates. One infamous Rogue Trader was [[Jan van Yastobaal]], who became little more than a desperado plundering whatever world he came upon.{{Fn|2}}
Rogue Traders are often flamboyant individuals, commonly dressed in the most extravagant finery they can acquire. However, each Rogue Trader is a unique individual from a particular background, some newly created Rogue Traders come from backgrounds such as the [[Imperial Guard]], the [[Imperial Navy]], the [[Merchant Fleet]]s, the [[Administratum]] or even the [[Inquisition]] where they will have developed unique outlooks and approaches to situations.{{Fn|1b}} Some Rogue Traders are relatively poor, possessing a single ancient and dilapidated ship. Others are incredibly wealthy and powerful and have whole fleets and entire private armies at their disposal. Certain favoured individuals may even call upon detachments of Space Marines having entered pacts with individual [[Chapter]]s. Some Rogue Traders operate as mercenaries, renting the service of their ship(s).{{Fn|1b}}
