Your ship belonged at some point to the Adeptus Mechanicus,
a Lathe Class Monitor Cruiser
you have 3 ship points left to outfit the ship.

this is where we need to get a bit cinematic with this build.
there are too many options for this to be typed out.

Your ship is named the:

[ ] Seeker for the Lathes
[ ] Write in

and it is focused on

[ ] Combat
[ ] Hauling
[ ] Exploration
[ ] Self-Support
[ ] Tell me the components you want, for those with access to the 40k Rogue Trader books by FFG as a plan. One Archeotech component is permitted.

Interesting choices,
I am going to take the correct spelling of crucible as a combined vote

We do appear to have a tie between the two options chosen however, anyone feel like breaking the tie?

  [X] Snappy plan name:

  • fanficfan

Ship stores: 186 Days remain

Long Range Auger for Unnamed System 6
44 VS Challenging (+0) Scrutiny 10 + Detection +15

Unfortunately some of the radiation bursts cloud the sensors while your sweeps went on
You make out no more details of the planet.

Long Range Auger for Station in outer reaches
17 VS Challenging (+0) Scrutiny 10 + Detection +15

The station on the other hand yields more details.
The station consist of three stripped down hulls of some sort
No indications of power are revealed and you are still to far away to determine many more details.

Spoiler: GM notes

Your Rogue trader is not the best at scans.
do you want me to create a void-master as helmsman, or does someone with the books want to create one for the Thread to vote on?

Tangs of Ozone, traces of rot, of humans, of scared oils and machines scent the air as you walk into your bridge

"Lord-Capitan on Bridge" announces on of the ratings to First Officer Grimgoyle as you approach.

"Lord-Capitan Handeln, all is well, We are approaching the first station in orbit of

[ ] Write-in Name the system

Between the 5th and 6th planetary bodies of the system.

It has been three days since the station's initial detection and you are now on final approach.

From this distance, the station has no lifesigns or indicators of power.
It is dark and cold. The station shows only on scans.

This close the data on the station as been refined

It is three freighter hulls of Xeno make, held together with massive chains, a clear sign of Strixis construction.

[ ] Explore another planet
[ ] Send an expedition to the station.

 

[chris257]

Derelict Strixis Station
Armour: 10
Hull Integrity: 23

Ship stores: 182 Days remain

The Strixis Station is derelict and empty of life.
But not of material goods.

Containers upon containers upon containers line the stations interiors , stretching for kilometres
There is just barely enough space to walk through the lines, and the hulls are almost bursting with cargo.

Uncatalogued, Unlabeled.
from what has been seen so far, all Xeno in nature including the containers.
Eldar coffers, Ork boxes. opaque crystal containers that are seeming to be locked. Ominous black metal with unsettling glyphs.

This is a treasure trove of Xeno artifacts. but it would take years to uncover it all, and catalog it into a useful form for sale

The crew are unsetteled by the sight of some of these Xeno's and Lord-Captain Handeln must calm them
Ordinary Command (28 + 10) vs 86 - Failure

The crew refuse to investigate any of the containers marked with the glyphs, and crew morale takes a hit to 98.

Sample the items

[ ] open Eldar coffers
[ ] open Crystal coffers
[ ] open Ork boxes
[ ] RT only - Open the Glyph marked boxes.

[ ] Explore another planet.
[ ] Leave the system
- [ ] Return to Footfall
- [ ] Explore another system
- [ ] Leave the Expanse and Return to Port Wonder
