Rogue Trader Timeline House Rules Guide and Lore |
The following awards are patterned off the Awards and Honors in the Only War rulebook. While Rogue Trader PCs may receive an award or honor, the Squad Bonuses listed apply only to Only War characters.
Imperial Awards
Medals and awards received from the Imperium are among the most highly desired rewards that can be received by Imperial citizens. Receiving such an reward bestows a measure of prestige for one's service that is recognized and lauded throughout the Imperium.
None received so far.
Campaign Awards
Campaign awards are among the most common types of awards and may be issued by House Drake, or received by House Drake forces from outside. They denote service involving outside friendly parties. Due to their scope, Fellowship bonuses received tend to be more localized to the region of the conflict, or those regions affected by it.

- Squad Bonus: +5 to Resist (Psychic Attacks) checks
- Notes: Awarded only to militants serving on board the Aurea Albion or the Penance of Iocanthos, being the only ships of House Drake at the time. House Drake may also choose award this to Imperial Navy personnel serving aboard the Hand of Redemption due to its assistance. (This has not yet occurred though.)
