    Summary

    Having miraculously reached his desperately sought after retirement, Commissar Ciaphas Cain prepares to (finally) set off for his teaching post on Perlia. Unfortunately for him, it’s never that simple. His ship is intercepted en route by representatives of the Von Valancius dynasty of Rogue Traders. With no way to turn down their invitation (not without destroying his carefully constructed reputation for heroism and adventure seeking), he sets off across the galaxy, trading in the Damocles Gulf for the Koronus Expanse.

    Basically, what if the protagonist in Owlcat’s Rogue Trader cRPG was none other than CIAPHAS CAIN, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! (and also Jurgen)

    Summary

    "And so it came to pass that the most faithful servant of the Emperor, Ciaphas Cain, did pass into His Grace at the age of one hundred and thirty-four. He was buried with all the honors accrued to him in his long life of service to the glory of the Imperium of Man. Yet it was whispered among some of the regiments whom he had so served that Cain's loyalty to Him-on-Earth would not be chained by death, and that he who had fought and bled for Him would not refuse the call to aid His people again ..." --Excerpt from the Hagiography of St. Ciaphas of Valhalla and Perlia, M42

    "Stop frakking praying to me!" --Unknown piece of paper found on Valhalla, M42

    Summary

    Mylo and Claggor would say there’s nothing that scares Vi. She can dish out punches and evade danger better than anyone. She’s their fearless leader, always ready to take them on a job and back without losing anyone. It’s that level of assurance that they have in her, that confidence she exudes, that makes them trust and believe in her.

    But they’re wrong. Powder knows there’s something that scares Vi. And that’s because it scares Vander.

    Or: Silco reads the letter Vander left in the mines and sticks around as a boogeyman in the Last Drop.
