Lure of the Void
So tie is broken
Heretek
You slip the dataslates away, handwritten notes and folders
All evidence of heresy, of the forbidden knowledge of the Mechanicus.
You know things that the Cult of the Machine will kill if they knew you had.
A most brutal death.
Now what lured you into the Void.
[ ] Zealot - you believe in the God-Emperor, and you will do your duty to his will
- [ ] Blessed Scars
- [ ] Unnerving Clarity
- [ ] Favored of the Faithful
[ ] Chosen by Destiny
- [ ] Seeker of Truth
- [ ] Xenophile
- [ ] Fated for Greatness
[ ] New Horizons
- [ ] Seeker of Truth
- [ ] Xeno-Arcanist
- [ ] Archeotechnologist

Trials and Travails
You finger your touchstone, a true relic of the holy Saint Drusus
It's Authenticity recorded in the Data-vaults of the Minstorum of the God-Emperor of Mankind.
In His Name.
Your voyage to find such a treasure was not a simple or easy one
Your life, your ship and your crew were risked many times for this
But this stood out
Trials and Travails
[ ] Dark Voyage - You have been tested against the trials of the warp and survived it's touch
[ ] Lost World - You found a world long lost to the Imperium
- [ ] Lost Dynasty - a world found by a dynasty that failed to return from a voyage.
- [ ] Rogue Planet - a world thrown into the void by calamity.
- [ ] Beyond the Pale - You survived something that Man is not meant to know or see, and it has scarred you.
[ ] High Vendetta - you have defended your honor in blood and it is not to be tested.
[ ] Darkness
- [ ] Forbidden Knowledge - you know some of what is forbidden to know by the Inquisition
- [ ] Warp Incursion - You were present when the veil of the Materium was torn.
- [ ] Dark Secret - You carry something that haunts you, and you seek to be rid of it.

Motivation
you slide away the pict-casts of the world you call Geheimnis Prime, a world discovered by a long forgotten dynasty in 35M
This will be useful in the future, but not now.
you ponder a moment at your current driver, what motivates you to be amongst the void.
[ ] Prestige - to be in the highest of stations, to lord above the common rabble.
[ ] Fear
- [ ] Enemy in Ascendance: one of your foes has gained enough strength for a campaign against you and is striking.
- [ ] Haunted by thy own sins: Somewhere in your journeys, you have committed a great and egregious sin. you seek redemption for it.
- [ ] Tormented by the unspeakable: somewhere out there is a monster, whether of the warp or flesh you do not know. you know of it, and for that it will seek you and and devour you whole.
[ ] Exhilaration
- [ ] New horizons: the call of the new is what you crave. to see strange suns and go where no man has been.
- [ ] The thrill of war: Battle is your calling and your Joy.
- [ ] No Joy Unexplored: You have explored hedonism to the max. you are bored with mundane pleasures and sensations. seeking pleasures unbound by restrictions...

Warrant
with the Idea of new worlds to discover, and plunder you turn your head to the your warrant...
Choose one from each catagory.
Warrant Age
[ ] Age of Rebirth - Signed during the years after the Horus Heresy, this warrant is of great age and power. It's original may be held on Terra in a Stasis-Vault
[ ]The Forging - signed during the establishment of the Adeptus Terra, many of the holders of these warrant established the closer sectors of the Imperium.
[ ] Age of Apostasy - signed during the Vandire rule of Terra and the Imperium, this warrant is a double edged sword.
[ ] Age of Redemption - signed in the years after the Apostasy, these are mostly Crusade focused warrants to take back the worlds that slipped full into Heresy or were taken by the Xeno
[ ] The Waning - Signed in recent years, the Imperium seems bound for another age of decay and ruin.
Fortune & Fate
[ ] Fallen from Grace - your dynasty has fallen far from the highs of it's power, perhaps reduced to a ship and it's crew
[ ] Struggling - Fallen on hard times, your power is reduced but not yet extinguished.
[ ] Stable - A rare fate for a dynasty, you are neither gaining or losing ... At the moment
[ ] Rising Star - fortune has favoured your house, and you are growing in strength.
Acquisition
[ ] Reward - the warrant was rewarded for Service to the imperium or one of it's masters
[ ] Intrigue - the warrant was taken from another dynasty through guile
[ ] Administorum Trade Mandate - issued by the Adeptus Adminstorum through calculations and cognitions that determine that a Rogue trader will be needed
[ ] Ministorum Bequest - The Adeptus Minstorum cannot grant warrants directly, but for future favours pressure can be brought to bear.
[ ] Prize of War - Won through the art of battle, either too powerful to deny or sized from another dynasty
[ ] Blackmail - The Dynasty Founder know something that could embarrass or kill a power, and they demanded a warrant in return for their silence
[ ] Exile - to powerful to kill, the Founder was removed from their former base and given the warrant to move them on.
Sanction
[ ] Age of Plunder - Pirates or Privateers, the Warrant flourished during the crusades of the Calyx Expanse. you maybe well regarded now, but history lurks.
[ ] Angevin Crusade - your warrant participated in the crusade that turned the Calyx Expanse into the Calixis Sector.
[ ] The Meritech Wars - the crushing of the Meritech Hereteks was part of this warrants claims
[ ] Fall of the Tellurian combine - a shadow war by the Inquesition against a demonically backed coalition of rogue traders and others
[ ] Halo Artifacts - trade in horrible powerful and corrupting Xeno artifacts is your bread and butter. the Inquisition watches you strongly when you return from the dark void.
Contacts
[ ] BattleFleet - you have friends within the fleet
[ ] Adeptus Mechanicus - somehow your dynasty is regarded with favour by the Adepts of Mars
[ ] Missionaria Galaxia - the preachers find you usefull
[ ] Merchant House - a great house controlling trade for a few worlds
[ ] Pirates - you aren't attacked and killed instantly
Renown
[ ] Famous - your Dynasty has a name, and it is well respected
[ ] Unknown - you are who again?
[ ] Infamous - Your deeds are told - as things to be wary of and an example to avoid.
