Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, sometimes just refered to as Rogue Trader, was the first core rule book for the Warhammer 40,000 game.

General Structure

Cover of the Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader 1st edition rulebook
The first rule book for the Warhammer 40,000 game, Rogue Trader was published in 1987 and writtern by Rick Priestly, and was quite different to future versions of the game. Largely a cross between Role Playing Games and Table Top Battle Games, rather than an out and out Table Top Battle Game, Rogue Trader contained much more background on the wider universe, races and technology found in the Warhammer 40k universe than later editions did, and for this reason is considered a prized collectors piece.

The book is considered much less imperio-centric than later editions, as it employed a much broader spectrum of veiws within the narration than was common in future versions and proactively encouraged mixed faction forces.
