Quotes / Rogue Trader

Go To

Ambition knows no Bounds.

Within two hours, fifteen brawls had broken out, ten starships had changed hands, an ogryn had gotten into the amasec and thrown Lady Jingerin out of a window, two orbital strikes had been called in (and promptly cancelled), and Inquisitor Falos Fruun had been caught in bed with, so the story goes, an Eldar Corsair, and had roamed the halls burning anyone who so much as giggled.

You won't get away with this treachery!
Mr. Lupe, please let me get away with this treachery.
