The Void Wolf 40k Rogue Trader OOC

Okie dokie...

Hmmmm.... Just a pair of Escort ships, Omega?

edit: edit made.
Just two Cobra-class frigates.... one converted for effective and quick travel while having the ability to defend itself.
The other is converted fro greater defence.

[Omega]

A smaller escort I would say.

[Omega]

Laurenced do you think your organization could muster together 30,000 men to crew two escorts?

[Omega]

Troops and ground forces:

100,000 Stormtroopers
- 40,000 Will answer directly to Verandis Renaii
- 20,000 Will answer directly to Gilbert Fitzherbert
- 20,000 Will answer directly to Acaius Morten and will also be charged with maintaining good order and discipline as well being the primary boarding and anti-boarding forces
- 20,000 Will answer directly to Quirin Aderiz

15,000 Skitarii answer directly to T3-NR "Tanner"


You will be allowed to employ your forces almost any way you feel within reason of course and equip them as you see fit, the forces under Verandis Renaii will act as the standard. Each man is armed with a hellgun and armored with carapace armor, drilled as inquisitorial stormtroopers are and in some ways patterned after Elysian Drop Troops divided into regiments of 10,000 men. There is not a great deal in terms of heavy armor with 500 Leman Russ Battle Tanks under Verandis and no more than 100 deployed with any of her subordinates, chimeras, hellhounds, and especially Taurus Rapid assault vehicles are common enough to fill almost any need and significant aerial support from Valkyries and Vultures exists. Artillery is almost non-existent with a mere 50 batteries once more directly under Verandis's command.

The crest of Verandis Renaii is a white clawed hand in a striking poise upon a black field surrounded by red and gold trim, this symbol is required to be worn by all troopers but otherwise commanders may modify their uniform within reason. The regiments directly under Verandis wear dark red armor plates trimmed in black and gold and accentuated by white piping.

So, any question comments or concerns regarding this? I am allowing this open for those of you with command responsibilities to mold your forces in an extent to how you want.

[Trent01]

Wonder how many combat servitors are in Tanner's ranks? Actually, dump the question. It will only complicate affairs. I'll make servitors as I go along.

[Omega]

Indeed, I was working on combat servitors but just made things more complicated, like many other things we can just keep a loose tally on them, the number of skitarii and heavy armor were given specific numbers because those are irreplaceable really and the stormtroopers were given an approximate since such a high number will be in constant fluxuation.

Also, RPG I will ask you to tell me how you plan to disperse your forces throughout the fleet excluding the vessel belonging to the explorators.

This may seem like a bit but this is pretty much 7 years of Rogue Trader dealings and assets after Verandis pulled up roots selling most of the assets that could not be moved to the Adeptus Mechanicus.


Overall starting assets:

Fleet:
Most ships have been given complete overhauls by the Adeptus Mechanicus just prior to travelling to this sector

1 Lunar Cruiser Void Wolf
1 Adeptus Mechanicus Turbulent class Heavy Frigate Knowledge's Fruition
3 Sword class Frigates Purgation Unbound, Predation Without Limit, Star's Travesty
1 Adeptus Mechanicus Sword Frigate Omnissiah's Witness (controlled by Explorators)
2 Firestorm class Frigates Fire of the Imperium, Aquila Of Fire
1 Claymore class Corvette Freedom Bound
5 Heavy Freighters


Troops and ground forces:

100,000 Stormtroopers
- 40,000 Will answer directly to Verandis Renaii
- 20,000 Will answer directly to Gilbert Fitzherbert
- 20,000 Will answer directly to Acaius Morten and will also be charged with maintaining good order and discipline as well being the primary boarding and anti-boarding forces
- 20,000 Will answer directly to Anders Luther Mikanos

15,000 Skitarii answer directly to T3-NR "Tanner"

Cargo:
Several Rogue Psykers
Tremendous amounts of military armaments of various grade
Fresh foods
Precious metals
Heavy metals
Sanctified Religious iconography
Illegal xenos tech data
Illegal xenos weapons
Illegal xenos artifacts
Adeptus Mechanicus machine patterns
Magos Biologis xenos biological samples
Illegal drugs including obscura




I am still open to new ideas and suggestions on this.

[Laurenced]

Okay, cool on the Cargo and....

no.. not very likely...

I think, That it is likely that Short Kogs took a freighter and converted it to a fighting vessel, equipping it with a few weapons and more effective shielding while trying to maintain a balance of cargo space and speed

[Hagazussa]

Did I get a reply to my question about how living quarters on board the flagship would work and I have missed it or did my question get lost? I am just trying to set myself into the headset of my character so I was wondering how life on board this ship would be, including how big our quarters are an whatever or now we share room with others or not. Also do we have other psykers in our fleet other than Quirin and the Rouge Trader herself?

[OiHarkin]

I think you left Anders out of the troop numbers

[Omega]

Okay, Laurenced so like a blockade runner type of ship? If you think your organization could support one the cobra and viper are both crewmen 15,000 each and a claymore is 21,000 crewmen. The Viper and Claymore were both shunned designs so really one or the other would work as a modified vessel to a somewhat more civilian use.

Hagazussa the quarters are on the lunar cruiser and quite large and as ostentatious and well decorated as you would like. You have your own rooms naturally, and there are few other psykers in the fleet with most of them filling rolls such as astropath.

OiHarkin sorry about that I put Quirin instead of Anders.
