The furthest planet, Skiri, has been more thoroughly explored

USING PORT WANDER IN DARK HERESY VIII: Port Wander

Although INTO THE STORM is a ROGUE TRADER supplement, there is no reason why an enterprising GM cannot use
it to enhance other Warhammer 40K Roleplay lines as well. Specifically, this chapter provides a facinating locale for
adventures in DARK HERESY. On Port Wander, the Inquisition is but one of many factions competing for control, and
flashing the Rosette is almost never the best approach. Between the Navy, the Adeptus Mechanicus priests who want the
station as their own research facility, the merchant guilds and their monetary concerns, and the Rogue Traders who walk
the decks, Acolytes require more subtlety than firepower to achieve their goals. Getting caught in one of the many power
struggles, or worse yet identified as being on the side of any of the various opposing factions, is a constant danger. Clean
solutions are usually not feasible here, and often the best solution will be the one that simply causes the least harm.

Perhaps their most difficult assignment will be dealing with Rogue Traders and their crews, powerful individuals
who seldom take kindly to Imperial minions interfering in their activities. Their Inquisitor could direct them to the
Port to investigate new heretical discoveries in the Expanse that a trader is attempting to distribute, for example, and
the Acolytes may have a difficult time standing between a trader and his profit. The Acolytes may even use the port as
a base of operations to scrutinise traders suspected of untoward xenos dealings or monitor news about the formation of
breakaway empires in the Expanse. At the station, though, Acolytes must always be on their guard—they will have no
allies here, and all too many groups that would be delighted by their “accidental” deaths.
