Day 5: Deathwatch/Rogue Trader

The Vanguard
The self proclaimed “Vanguard” is a collective of space pirates operating along the border zone of the Imperium and the Tau Empire. The Vanguard consists of exiles, criminals, renegades and deserters from any number of species, from humans and ratlings, tau and client species, to squats and other uprooted beings. To their victims they are mostly known as “tau pirates”, though, as most of their equipment and especially the battlesuits worn by their leaders are based on tau technology, even though modified to better suit the pirates’ needs.

Pirate battlesuits are equipped with unique large backpack modules to aid in zero gravity maneouvres and turn the suits into miniature combat spacecraft. Pirate battlesuits gain a +30 modifier on Agility tests made for moving under zero gravity conditions.

In starship combat, a pirate vessel carrying a complememt of battlesuits may skip the Pilot roll normally necessary for conducting a Hit and Run action, due to the small size and hyper-maneouverability of the battlesuits.
