Xenos Vessel

• The profile above represents a whole variety of alien vessels that may be found in a Rogue Trader’s personal escort. Since Rogue Traders tend to choose vessels for certain specific purpose, many of the Xenos vessels employed as mercenaries will be similar, though never entirely identical. For this reason, a single ship profile is used, but to better represent the great variety of Xenos vessels that may be encountered in the 41st millennium, each Xenos vessel also has one selected xenotech system as described in the Rogue Trader special rules. This system does not cost extra points and may be selected by the owning player for free, whether they are used in a Rogue Trader fleet, as pirate raiders or even their own, independent squadron of Xenos warships. However, all Xenos Vessels of the same type or race must all use the same refit, though multiple types or races may be in the same fleet, each easily identified by distinctly different models.
• The following pages feature a few of those variants with distinct names, all of them cost 50 points and have chosen one of the xenotech systems that is already included in their profile.
• *Xenos vessel weapon systems, like the vessels themselves, represent a wide variety of technologies. While the weapon systems may take any form and be described in any manner desired, their behavior will be as the weapons indicated in the Xenos Vessel profile. It can only be modified by one of the Xenotech systems described on p. 175
