Entry point 1
VentA Chartist ship loaded with valuable cargo has crash-landed on the planet. While legal scholars are divided on the legitimacy of the Rogue Trader's claim on the cargo, the local inhabitants are already preparing to loot the vessel and the crew is bracing itself for a bitter defence.
YOUOrder the ship to be looted
VentThe colony dwellers broke through the ship's defences, plundered the holds, and put the surviving crew to work. In response to this unsanctioned act, the Adeptus Administratum has filed a tediously protracted suit against the Rogue Trader.end of branch
YOUAuthorise a repair effort that will last hundreds of years
VentBy the time the repairs are complete, the crew will have assimilated into the colony and long since died, and the fact that the cargo was given to the dynasty for "temporary safekeeping" will have faded from memory. The Rogue Trader's actions are irreproachable, but the colony dwellers, who had hoped to help themselves to a precious haul and some ship components, are left disappointed.end of branch
YOUTake the ship under the dynasty's protection until its owners arrive
VentAnother Chartist vessel soon arrives on the colony world to pick up the cargo and the crew, promising never to forget the Rogue Trader's probity.end of branch
YOUBurn the contentious riches and provide assistance to the surviving crew — this is no time to be filling one's pockets, plundering, or fighting over trophies
VentThe crew surrenders the ship without a fight, not daring to object to the Rogue Trader's will. Both they and the locals watch dejectedly as the valuable cargo goes up in righteous flames.end of branch
