Rogue Trader capital ships and escorts commonly bear refits of uncertain origin. Even the vessel’s crew are unlikely to be anything as straightforward as regular spacers, since Rogue Traders have a knack for acquiring crowds of followers and hangers-on, and tend to be rather indiscriminate in who they take on to crew their vessels. Their command crews however tend to be deeply seasoned after many years in space, and successful Rogue Traders tend to be as experienced as the most veteran Naval captains. To represent this each Rogue Trader cruiser and escort squadron may roll one random crew skill on p.157 in the Rulebook for free. In addition, each Rogue Trader vessel may also roll randomly against the Xenotech System table below for +15 points per cruiser or +5 points per escort. For an additional +5 points per ship, the player can select the desired technology instead of rolling randomly for it. Auxiliary vessels in a Rogue Trader escort squadron can only use these refits if they are in a squadron that includes at least three Rogue Trader escorts. | ''Rogue Trader capital ships and escorts commonly bear refits of uncertain origin.

ORDINANCE AND UPGRADES
"The Best Money Can Buy"
Rogue Trader capital ships and escorts commonly bear refits of uncertain origin. Even the vessel’s crew are unlikely to be anything as straightforward as regular spacers, since Rogue Traders have a knack for acquiring crowds of followers and hangers-on, and tend to be rather indiscriminate in who they take on to crew their vessels. Their command crews however tend to be deeply seasoned after many years in space, and successful Rogue Traders tend to be as experienced as the most veteran Naval captains. To represent this each Rogue Trader cruiser and escort squadron may roll one random crew skill on p.157 in the Rulebook for free. In addition, each Rogue Trader vessel may also roll randomly against the Xenotech System table below for +15 points per cruiser or +5 points per escort. For an additional +5 points per ship, the player can select the desired technology instead of rolling randomly for it. Auxiliary vessels in a Rogue Trader escort squadron can only use these refits if they are in a squadron that includes at least three Rogue Trader escorts.
XENOTECH SYSTEMS
1. Long Range Sensors: The vessel adds +1 to its base leadership (max of Ld10).
2. Targeting Matrix: The vessel counts all targets as closing when using the gunnery table within 30cm and ignores right-shift modifiers for shooting greater than 30cm.
3. Advanced Shielding: The vessel increases the strength of its shields by +1.
4. Ship Defense Grid: The vessel increases the strength of its turrets by +1.
5. Advanced Drive Technology: The vessel adds +5cm to its speed as well as +1D6 when undergoing All Ahead Full special orders.
6. Gravitic Thrusters: The vessel can double the maximum rate of its normal turn.
ATTACK RATING
A Rogue Trader fleet has an attack rating of 3.
