Editing Rogue Traders (Hektor Heresy) (section)

=Notable Rogue Traders Militant=

Countless unscrupulous and enterprising individuals were dispatched to scout the reaches of the Galaxy.  These are but of few of the lucky ones who struck fame, riches, or both in their adventures.

*'''Lord Captain Megasu Athon''' once had held sway over the massive Lambent Station that heralded Terra's orbit about Sol.  He had tried to remain aloof from the Unification Wars and profited by sale of arms to the techno-barbarian states until the Emperor's final victory.  In 803.M30, Ajax Camillus of the First Legion led a compliance force to subdue Lambent Station and Megasu Athon wisely chose to surrender to the Space Marines.  He began the Great Crusade with a substantial fleet of sixteen warp-capable voidships and carried out several compliance actions in his own right, as well as being called upon to support the campaigns of Imperial [[Expedition Fleets (Hektor Heresy)|Expedition Fleets]].  Megasu Athon is particularly famous for his actions in the Parthorum Xenocide, in which his fleet assisted in the early scouting operations and took part in the attack on War Fortress Tzor.

*'''Adela Exard''', captain of the ''Black Joke'' was of uncertain origin but most likely hailed from the Outer Solar System.  She gained fame by discovering and mapping the Parthorum Stream and aided the [[Heralds of Hektor|First Legion]] in the [[Parthorum Xenocide]], particularly in the [[First Battle of Kopt Dara|First]] and [[Second Battle of Kopt Dara|Second]] battles of Kopt Dara.

*'''Captain [[Visant Le Gall]]''', commissioned in 857.M30, died in 918.M30.  He was one of the most successful Rogue Traders Militant of the Great Crusade era thanks to his prodigious talents and ties to the Fifth Legion.

*'''Helga Olafsdottir''' was a Terran-born Rogue Trader Militant, best known for discovering the [[Haeltoth Starguard|Haeltoth Stations]] in 818.M30.  Her cruiser was named ''Lone Wolf''.

*'''Antoine d'Orléans''', b. 842.M30 ([[Ciban IV]]) was the grandson of the famous Marshal Jean-Davide d'Orléans, the first commander of the [[Ciban Chasseurs]].  Antoine had an unusual character for a Rogue Trader.  He was largely uninterested in wealth and, with his family's name already well-established, had little interest in fame.  Instead, he longed to explore unknown places and saw a Warrant of Trade as the best means for indulging his passion.  Fiercely loyal to his homeworld and with a great admiration for Gaspard Lumey, Antoine often undertook missions directly at the behest of the Fifth Legion's victualary.

*'''[[Lino Pisani]]''' was the nephew of an officer in the [[Fischetti Numeri]].  After the Numeri's surprising valour in the [[Curis-4 Compliance]], Gaspard Lumey presented the Pisani family with a Warrant of Trade as a reward for their service to the Imperium.

*'''Vuthros Khan''' was a petty Terran warlord notorious for using rad-missiles on the nascent [[War Scribes|Second Legion]] in the [[Dalvan Atrocity]].  He surrendered to Imperial Forces dispatched from his homeworld to serve the Great Crusade.  Despite his criminal past on Terra, he will be forever remembered for mapping the Vuthros Sector, rediscovering valiant [[the Carlisian Shock Troops|Carlisar IV]] and the crypt world [[the Kondrus Aeroguard|Kondrus]].
