Sometimes, [[Blood Ravens|having one ship to store all the loot]] just ain't enough for a [[Rogue Trader]]. Sometimes, they need several escorts to do the job. A Rogue Trader Cargo Vessel as its name implies are small Cargo Vessel used primarily by Rogue Traders to transport their wares back to imperial space (usually assisted and helped with on-board [[Arvus Lighter]]s and [[Aquila Lander]]s), as well as to serve as personal conveyances as needs arise.

The danger Rogue Traders face on their journeys into wilderness space and beyond the Imperium's borders is significant enough that they will commonly [[Dakka|up-gun their cargo ships where capacity permits.]] Such alterations are rarely permanent, and Rogue Traders will often abandon some of their escort's weaponry or additional power generating systems to make space for more [[Looted|lucrative cargoes]] as and when they chance upon it or the need arises. However, where a Rogue Trader's business calls for him/her to actively engage in combat, armed cargo ships are likely to be a common feature of his/her personal escort.

An incredible variety of different vessels are used as armed cargo ships, but such is the limited space, power supply and support systems of these vessels that no matter what their original design, most are likely to bear the same simple arrangement of weaponry, turrets and shields. In fact, the crew of an armed cargo ship is likely to be the same merchant spacers responsible for its operation even when unarmed or when its mission-specific equipment is removed. As such, the weapons with which the vessel can be equipped are limited to those which the crew can be hastily trained to use.
