Hey guys, i haven't been on in a while and got a great idea while away,A rouge trader based Rp


i shall be GMing and the captain of our trading crew if you join. please yourself when creating your character, be it an eldar assassin or a rouge space marine but be moderate if you can, no ship crushing powers or weapons that can take out a dreadnought, i'll also be moderate with my own character, but be aware i will crush you if you step out of line, well what i mean is god modding, fell free to do anything else within reason.

The battle lasted for several intense minutes, however Slynt got behind Smashgutz and ran his powersword through the back of Smashgutz' head and removing both eyes in the process, somehow for whatever reason he managed to survive, and instead of normal eyes he saw through two implanted ones.

Of course, Captain.
Oh, and might I suggest changing the Valkyries to Modified Aquila Landers?

We going to start this any time soon?

As soon as i can get the intro up yeah, so maybe later tonight or tomorrow.
oh and about the lander's, no were going into pretty hostile environments, we need the guns those things can pack.

A great tear opened in the fabric of reality. A large prow, a great Aquila welded upon it slowly broke from the warp rift. Inside on the bridge the navigator was stepping out of his shell. "well done again my friend. That's our fifth hundred jump together." Captain Janus said to his trustworthy navigator Cornelius. The ship hung in the emptiness of space. A green jewel of a word was below them. He tapped an interface on his command chair, it was linked to the vox beads of his commanding officers. "Godri prep the marines and our retinues to launch, we have arrived at Selchan 5". The deck crew immediately began to bustle around. "why exactly are we here captain " one of the bodyguard's by his chair asked. "this world is populated by Eldar Exodites, but they only moved in a thousand years ago, appernetly there was some sort of mechanicum tech down there when the planet's imperial population evacuated, so we are going to find it".

"Godri prep the marines and our retinues to launch, we have arrived at Selchan 5."

Godri grumbled, and looked up from the game of Pocar he was playing with his retinue. Swiping the chips back into the box, he stood, "Okay boys, games over! Orik, Skalf, Gotrek, I want you to make sure The Spirit is ready." He turned to Hargrim and his brothers, "And I want you, my friend, to make sure that all the weapons are up to spec, and that the equipment is ready for landing." Nodding, his fellow Squats left the room with a chorus of "Aye, Aye!"s and "Yes Chief!"s. Turning again, he addressed Eugene, the Marine Sargent, "Euge, get your marines ready, we'll be landing soon." He spoke into the Vox, +++Captain Janus, your orders are heard and carried out, I will be on the the Bridge shortly.+++

"+very good!. Are the Valkyries prepped with those new autocannons i asked Hargrim to fit yet, we are most certainly going to need them+" Janus was looking at a sensor readout. "+it looks like the Eldar have set up several large communities all over the planet, and a ton of anti aircraft batteries, ill have the gunnery officer prepared to fire if we go in hot+" Suddenly an adept poked his head up from behind a large comms console. "sir, we are receiving a signal from the surface!, it seems the Eldar wish to speak" "+speak with you when you get up here Godri+" "put them through on speaker" "cant sir it's a vid link" Janus groaned, damned Eldar always wanting to see your eyes"patch it through then".


The old vid screen bolted to the forward bulkhead of the bridge flickered into life. An Eldar helmet appeared along with the rest of the body. It was a female, it was injured and it was speaking in a strange tongue."speak Gothic Zeno!" Janus roared at the two way screen. " Mon-keigh i apologize, we, we wish to contract your services" the Eldar panted " We require immediate evacuation, the- the vile ork's have invaded our world we need hel-ughh" the Eldar fainted. "well that was as informative as a grox herders Rear, cut the link" another Eldar appeared on the screen "mon-keh we can pay you, generously" Janus's head snapped around "well be there soon, now cut the link". The screen flickered and died "+ What do you think Godri?+" he said down the vox link knowing that godri would have been listening all the while.

Godri chewed on his pipe as he boarded the golden lift he and his brothers had installed to the Bridge. +++Eldar and Orks you say?+++ He fell silent for a moment, +++ I'm sure you remember that my people have no love for the Grobi and the Elgi+++ He stepped out of the lift to face Janus. Glaring at the crew around him, he stomped over to the Hologram and spit through the flickering form of the Eldar. "So Pointy-Ear, what's in it for me?" he said tilting his head slightly, and grinning.

OOC:Welcome. Smashgutz might be gettin' a bunch a Boyz soon. Demus will be seeing some psykers too.

IC:Janus listened to his chief body guard for a moment. "sorry Godri but i cant let your hatred get in the way of profit, hell we already have an ork on our crew" he grabbed an officer and commanded that he sound general quarters throughout the ship.

" Bring up the eldar connection again". The screen came to life before Janus's eyes. "have you considered our offer" the Eldar immediately asked. "help filthy Xenos, Hah!" the Eldars face registered shock then anger. "Filthy paying Xenos on the other hand, well i would be delighted. I require Three things. One custody of that pretty little Farseer" the Eldar attempted to stutter out a reply" Two an ork Nobs weight in your tech,and i know how light it is, and finally what i originally came here for the imperial Relics stored on this world, you have ten seconds to respond" The Eldar stuttered a little more then the Farseers face appeared again "yes" she said quietly but firmly. "What is it you want us to do?" "get us out"

Alarms were ringing along the barracks deck. Eugene was startled by it, and quickly got up from his cot. His squad did the same, and as did all the other 9 squads on the barracks decks. The Marine Corps of this ship made ready for planetfall.

"Come on, just like we trained." Eugene said to his squad.

Eugene went to the arms cabinet, and opened it. His squad lined up, and one by one, he gave them their personal weapons. Lastly, after all the others had left the room, Eugene grabbed his lasgun, and ran after the rest, in the direction of the space dock aboard the ship.

this still open?

Kaptin Smashgutz had his feet kicked up on his desk smoking a large humie cigar. Growing bored Smashgutz leaped up with a growl of irritated boredom Smashgutz shouted "Oy Nob Leastice you'z watchin these gits, I's goin' up to da bridge and see if da 'Boss has some'at for me to do, being Kaptin an' all." Getting up and grabbing his dakka the Kaptin went up the various decks to the bridge, hearing the alarms Smashgutz ignored the boss' precious protocal and shoved the guards aside he saw Boss Slynt talking to a floating eldar head. With a shout "Oy boss why'z you talkin to that pointy eared squishy?"
