Character Creation
Other than renaming a few things, character creation is performed according to the rules set out in Edge of the Empire.
Home World
All characters in Rogue Trader are human (at least for now). As such, the species selection part of character creation is replaced with the selection of the character's homeworld. All characters start with 100 xp.
