They have ventured deep into the territory of the expanse and emerged only recently with the revelation of the Star-Corpse Watch, which they have claimed. Along with the claiming of the station and system, they have elected to call to action the servants of the Omnissiah, ushering them towards the new-found station to aid in the exploitation. The House of Varkannon seems devout to the Emperor and the Omnissiah, but their daring may be their downfall yet. The House of Tynan suffered in their haste. they navigated around the Emperor’s Lash and intended to explore and expoit the stars they would find there, knowing that most of the other Houses would venture in another direction. Instead of systems ripe for exploitation they found one of the most dangerous things: traitors. As you well know by now, Lord Admiral, the Magnus Stars, as the rebels call their realm, have rejected the Emperor’s calling and instead destroyed two of the five vessels that the House of Tynan had in their fleet. The loss shook them heavily, but they have also made good on the neglect of other Rogue Traders, beginning massive strip-mining operations near the Magnus Stars’ borders. They have already claimed venegeance as their right, and I think we may hear in a few years from the Lord High Admiral to move out and support the House of Tynan. Though these five Houses are the strongest in presence, others are making their way here as I write this or have already begun to ply their trade for the Imperium. Among the lesser Houses are the following: * The House of Jubal-Kalar * The House of Severnius * The House of Caldmar * The House of Jelen * The House of Fir * The House of Lendemarr I hope this report is to your satisfaction, my Lord Admiral.

    +++ To the Lord Admiral Herrogan III. from the Watchkeeper of the Arken Gate +++

    I have found that which you desire, my lord. I have assembled a report on the Rogue Trader activities that take place beyondthe arken gate, and which house is in which position, roughly speaking. Without further ado, I present thee with the information.

    The biggest contender among the Rogue Traders is the House of Saloman. They have a few fledeling worlds they are exploiting.They have made contact with the Compact of Hercias, which may lead to riches or ruin, depending on how the Compact acts inthe coming years. Initial trade seems to go well, though differences make themselves known. The Compact may need to bebrought to heel by our mighty fleet and the groundpounders of the Guard.

    The House of Remagius has taken quickly to colonization efforts, as well as direct exploitation of viable systems. They haveclaimed no less than a dozen worlds so far, though only two are worthy to be marked on the map. The House of Remagiusshould be kept under watch, though, for they have a spotty history even for a Rogue Trader... there is the mark of heresy upontheir past, though I was assured that the relevant part of the family has been... 'dealt' with in times long past.

    The House of Ibris is relatively young and intent upon proving themselves. So far they have not ventured deep into the Expanse,instead opting for close-by opportunities in the shadow of Arken's Treasure. Their Flagship, remarkably enough, is a lightcruiser of some caliber, which has already seen hefty action against a frigate of House Remagius. There is a Vendetta comingupon the Expanse, I fear. Most daring of all those present is surely the House of Varkannon. Their fleet is non-existant, for this 'House' consists only ofa single ship, though it is formidable indeed and would surely be able to destroy the fleets of entire other Houses, for it isnothing short of a Lunar-Class cruiser, Emperor knows where they got the beast. They have ventured deep into the territoryof the expanse and emerged only recently with the revelation of the Star-Corpse Watch, which they have claimed. Along withthe claiming of the station and system, they have elected to call to action the servants of the Omnissiah, ushering them towardsthe new-found station to aid in the exploitation. The House of Varkannon seems devout to the Emperor and the Omnissiah, buttheir daring may be their downfall yet.

    The House of Tynan suffered in their haste. they navigated around the Emperor's Lash and intended to explore and expoit thestars they would find there, knowing that most of the other Houses would venture in another direction. Instead of systems ripefor exploitation they found one of the most dangerous things: traitors. As you well know by now, Lord Admiral, the MagnusStars, as the rebels call their realm, have rejected the Emperor's calling and instead destroyed two of the five vessels that theHouse of Tynan had in their fleet. The loss shook them heavily, but they have also made good on the neglect of other RogueTraders, beginning massive strip-mining operations near the Magnus Stars' borders. They have already claimed venegeance astheir right, and I think we may hear in a few years from the Lord High Admiral to move out and support the House of Tynan.

    Though these five Houses are the strongest in presence, others are making their way here as I write this or have already begunto ply their trade for the Imperium. Among the lesser Houses are the following: * The House of Jubal-Kalar * The House of Severnius * The House of Caldmar * The House of Jelen * The House of Fir * The House of Lendemarr

    I hope this report is to your satisfaction, my Lord Admiral. I will keep you informed on the happenings beyond the Expanse.
