Re: Rogue Trader
The Cicatrix Maledictum was a blotch of warp that could be seen everywhere in the night sky and space throughout the galaxy. Much has transpired during the closure of Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade. Most of the changes done was to the Imperium of Mankind, some good, some bad, but the overall narrative was that humanity was galvanizing under the leadership of the returned Primarch, Roboute Guilliman. After the end of the Plague Wars, and the decree by Guilliman to expand Ultramar back to the borders it once had before the Horus Heresy, many Imperium forces have gathered there to carry out such decree.
The T'au Empire has had to endure the hardships that the Cicatrix Maledictum has brought to them as well, as they too have not been untouched by the events of the recent past. However, with the planets to the galactic east losing contact to the Astronomicon and their fates unknown, the T'au Empire has been gearing for another Sphere Expansion to take advantage of those events. The Farsight Enclaves have been strangely silent in what has transpired and no efforts of expansion have occurred at the moment for those deemed renegade by the Ethereals.
In the middle of it all is an Eldar Craftworld that has mysteriously appeared between Ultramar and the T'au Empire.
It's symbol and colorings of their warrior were reminiscent of Ulthwe, but yet it was not. Regardless, a message was sent to all channels of the Imperium and the T'au Empire from the Crafworld. The message claiming that these Eldar desire to form an alliance to those who are enemies of Chaos.
Your ship is in the same vicinity of the message's range and naturally this piques the attention of the Rogue Trader(whoever it may be) and thus the ship goes to the Craftworld to investigate...
