	Although the [[Setting:~~TriSector~~\|Cloudburst Sector]] does not, by virtue of its relative youth, contain any of the truly ancient Rogue Trader Militant Houses that the Emperor and Primarchs created, there are some Rogue Trader Houses in the Cloudburst Sector so old and so wealthy that they dominate the regions into which they travel. Some are of the more traditional Rogue Trader nature, that of the explorer and pathfinder for the greater Imperium, but most have shifted into a more corporate form. These Dynastic Houses have long pedigrees, whole fleets of ships, holdings on many worlds, connections to Sector and even Segmentum governments, and of course, obscene wealth. Other Houses, generally younger ones, have fewer permanent assets, but are more adventurous, and are more likely to have their Warrant-holder personally venture out to engage with the greater galaxy.

	One side effect of the unusual history of the Cloudburst Sector, established as it was in a great pair of Gold Rushes with no Crusade or grinding war of invasion, is that there are vast tracts of space between the clusters of worlds of the Sector. However, there are virtually no unexplored worlds in the clusters. While some regions of space, like the better-mapped Ixiniad, Scarus, and Calixis Sectors, are homogenous in their population frequency, the Cloudburst Sector is tied together like clusters of beads on a necklace, with each cluster stuck to others by long, tenuous Warp Routes.

	There are three major problems with this arrangement, however. While the Inquisitorial edict forbidding travel in the region was long since lifted, there are some parts of the greater Cloudburst region that contain navigational hazards of such size and risk that even approaching them is tantamount to suicide. The second major problem is piracy. While the nearby Drumnos Sector has far more lucrative starlanes, it is also heavily guarded. While the Naxos Sector has a great buildup of Imperial military materiel to steal, much of it is in use fighting the armies of Nurgle, and there are already privateer fleets at work in the region anyway. Thus, Cloudburst has become a growing site of piracy by the opportunistic criminals of the galaxy. The final problem is the remit of the Trader Warrants themselves. Many of these documents are written to provide Rogue Traders with the legal instruction to perform some task or effort in Imperial space or the Cloudburst Circuit in exchange for nobility and the sponsorship of the Imperial Government. However, the Cloudburst Sector expands into the neighboring non-Imperial areas by gradually agglomerating territory as the Administratum finishes its colonization. Thus, Traders who are forbidden from enacting their trade in Imperial territory but encouraged to do so outside the borders might suddenly find previous family stomping grounds forbidden to them.

	Despite these drawbacks, however, the regions of space in and around the Cloudburst Sector are wealthy enough to lure in Rogue Traders and other adventurers in enough volume to keep their practice churning with activity. Originally, the Rogue Traders of the Cloudburst area based their activities from the great astral coaching house Star Gilt in orbit over the Naxos Forge World of Fabique. Today, most Cloudburst region Rogue Traders base their activities from either noble residences on Thimble or from the great Administratum-owned space station Emissicius in orbit over Maskos, where the Inquisition can keep an eye on them. The tracts of space that define the Cloudburst Circuit are actually somewhat limited in scope thanks to the Warp Storm on their north, and the overlapping maximum range of the Astronomican.

Today, most Cloudburst region Rogue Traders base their activities from either noble residences on Thimble or from the great Administratum-owned space station Emissicius in orbit over Maskos, where the Inquisition can keep an eye on them. More daring or piratical Traders prefer the huge Deep Void platform Port MaxientMaxient, which is much farther from public scrutiny.

	There is no one House or even Dynasty that can claim with total honesty that they possess the largest or toughest fleet in the region. Some are more mercantile than others are, and have whole flotillas of cargo liners and freighters with barely any guns. Other Houses have fewer hulls to their name, but each is a warship or Galleon, capable of moving cargo and killing attackers at the same time. By the raw number of vessels to their name, the biggest is the House Prinz, but many of their ships are not Warp-capable, or have no significant guns, or both.
