:_ec`UfTeZ`_

“Do not waste your fear on the unknown, for in Koronus we have

known terrors aplenty to ﬁll your nightmares.”

Eldar, the ferocious Rak’Gol, and other enemies that the

Explorers face in their pursuit of proﬁt and glory.

C HAPTER 3: D ENIZENS OF THE W ARP

Chapter 3 presents a different sort of threat, that posed by the

Enemy Beyond. Xenos creatures merely destroy an Explorer’s

body, but the forces of Chaos can rend his very soul.

–Seneschal Venton Tiebolt

9 umanity may have settled untold worlds in the

Koronus Expanse, but only the most audacious of

Rogue Traders would dare claim that it asserts any

true dominion over this lawless region of space. For every

conquered planet there are dozens more under the control of

natural predators, foul xenos races, or other enemies ready to

contest mankind’s rightful destiny to rule. Explorers operating

in the Expanse are sure to encounter these threats in their

journeys, either by accident or design, and must be ready lest

their ship and their proﬁts be lost.

C HAPTER 4: X ENOS G ENERATOR

Chapter 4 introduces a system to create new random xenos

creatures for R OGUE T RADER games. GMs can use this generator

to produce unique beasts to provide proﬁts or threaten the

Explorers (usually both), as well as dangerous plant life and

even primitive sentient races ripe for exploitation and possible

introduction into the Imperium, either willing or unwilling.

NPC S AND W EAPONS /K NOWLEDGE

All NPC creatures and characters are also assumed to

have the appropriate Weapon Training Talents for any

weapons that appear in their proﬁle, unless otherwise

noted. It is up to the GM to determine what other

weapons the NPC might be capable of using if a special

situation arises. Similarly, it is assumed these beings also

are versed in the knowledge necessary to perform their

livelihoods, and the GM may also deem that they have

other knowledge or lore depending on the adventure.

WHAT’S IN THIS BOOK?

T HE K ORONUS B ESTIARY is a compendium of the dark

creatures and xenos races awaiting Explorers in their travels

through the Expanse. Some of the confrontations might

be part of planned Endeavours, but others are likely to be

chance encounters with lethal monsters or hostile powers.

Also included are commentaries from Arch-Militant Lorayne

Thornhallow. Her current employment as bodyguard to

Rogue Trader Tallen Alberse is perhaps her most hazardous

position yet, as Alberse is in constant pursuit of new trophies

and glorious adventures. Thornhallow’s role is to keep him

alive in these ventures—something she is evidently very good

at, having weathered countless lethal encounters in the service

of her patron. Her observations on the creatures and races

should be taken seriously, as they represent the ﬁrst-hand

knowledge of someone who has survived to tell the tale.

The enemies detailed in this book are accompanied by

adventure seeds and other hooks that GMs can use to import

these new dangers into R OGUE T RADER games. Each of the

following chapters concentrates on one type of threat, ranging

from bestial monsters to predatory alien races to the terrors

that lurk beyond reality. The ﬁnal chapter offers the GM a

system for creating new and unique threats for Explorers to

face in the Koronus Expanse.

E NEMY P ROFILE P RESENTATION

In all the entries presented in this book, the characteristics,

movement values, and weapon damages have been

presented with all modiﬁcations included. Weapon

damages include the effects of the enemy’s Strength

Bonus and Talents that always apply to damage such as

the Crushing Blow Talent. Talents, Traits, and special

rules that have a variable effect or only apply in particular

circumstances have not been combined into the proﬁles

presented here. It is also important to note that these

creatures and NPCs are not necessarily bound to follow

the same strictures for their proﬁles as Player Characters.

N EW T RAIT :

I MPROVED N ATURAL W EAPONS

Some creatures have teeth as sharp as the ﬁnest hunting

dagger, or claws able to crack apart carapace armour

like a cheap Amasec bottle. Their Natural Weapons no

longer count as Primitive.

C HAPTER 1: B EASTS AND M ONSTERS

Chapter 1 examines some of the more dangerous creatures

found across the Expanse. Each is commonly associated with

a single planet, though some have become scattered across

systems due to mysterious causes.

C HAPTER 2: A LIENS OF THE E XPANSE

Chapter 2 covers the major sentient xenos races in this

lawless region of space. These represent perils much

greater than any single creature, for here the Explorers

face powerful ﬂeets, mighty armies, deadly weaponry,

and other dangers that could not only imperil their

lives but also their very dynasties. This chapter

includes information about the devious

Stryxis, the brutal Orks, the treacherous

N EW W EAPON Q UALITY :

R AZOR S HARP

The edges of these claws or blades are honed to an

unnatural degree and can slice through most armour

with ease. When an attack made with this weapon

results in two or more Degrees of Success, the weapon’s

Penetration is doubled.
