Proxima II. Once a small, barren, largely unimportant world whose only redeeming factor was its proximity to Alpha Centauri. Until, that is, a successful and many-branched company situated in the nearby Alpha Centauri system, known as Rinwell and Company Inc., decided to embark on an incredibly ambitious hundred-year terraforming effort, attempting to transform this barren world into a paradise vacation world situated safely in the heart of the Imperium. When this project was completed, it quickly gained notoriety for being one of the safest tourist venues in the entirety of the Imperium, which is quite a title to hold in a galaxy as hostile and war-torn as the Imperium's. For almost a century Proxima II held this title with pride, making billions in tourist dollars and rocketing the Rinwell company into a new, burgeoning megacorp. Until recently.

Across the planet, mysterious reports of sudden outbursts of murderous rage from perfectly sane individuals, sudden, peculiar and often dangerous mutation of local flora, and several sightings of large, hunched, humanoid beings on a large, remote island on the planet's southern hemisphere began to erupt with increasing regularity. Most troubling of these reports, however, was the sudden and complete loss of communication with a remote luxury resort on the far side of Proxima II's moon. These reports were, perhaps unsurprisingly, immediately met with a massive cover up operation from the Rinwell company, who spent millions to keep witnesses and press quiet. It was not until communications with the planet began to become jammed and garbled, along with a leaked story of sightings of strange, leaping alien beings that the nearby Alpha Centauri militia commander, John Taurus, decided to investigate.

Upon arrival in the system, he was immediately set upon by hordes of executives offering billions in bribes for him to leave the system with shining reports, all of which he rejected. It took only a single scanner sweep for his fleet to detect a massive tendril-like stream of debris millions of miles long falling onto the planet. While investigating this, however, his fleet suddenly sent a single garbled distress signal, then communications were lost.

It was then that the Imperium realized that something was amiss on Proxima II, and its close proximity to the very heart of the Imperium, the Sol system, ensured an entire fleet of Strike-Cruisers bearing a full legion of Space Marines from various chapters was dispatched almost imediately to investigate, with several more legions of Imperial troopers preparing to launch.


Note: this game will be taking place around a real-world star, Proxima Centauri.

Representing the Plague marines!
We love you this *hug* much!
Preferably with a back-ground in cooking and medicine, we need to be fit and healthy(of course arms rotting off is healthy, just sow it back on and it will be better than new! But if I don't stop that bleeding you will miss out on the centuries of love that Nurgle wants you to enjoy!) to properly enjoy Grandfather's gifts!

P.S.
 I also knew very little of the 40k universe, having never actually played a proper game or read any of the books. But I played Dawn of War and have picked up a bit here and there...

Oh joy, it looks like everyone including the GM is not particurally knowledgeable in 40K...

Fortunately, I found this: http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Warhammer_40k_Wiki

(Note: I know enough about the world of 40K that I think I can GM well enough, plus augment that with the wiki I just found and I think I'll be more then good for a GM)

Companies? Executives? Eh...are we still in the same universe? :P The Imperium is not capitalist. Not in the least. :P Are you sure about this?

I remember several mentions of megacorps in the games which I've played. The Imperium may not be very capitalist, but that doesn't mean that they completely abolish capitalism.

A great company is a division of the space wolf chapter, there are 12, each with a wolf lord, and also the 13th company who were lost in the eye of terror, the great companies are arround the size of a usual space marine chapter

Err, wrong definition of company there, wolfchild. He's referring to the company which owns Proxima II.

Well, it's not a big deal. Anyway, I'm confident that you'll run a great game. :)

And I know quite a bit about 40k. I frequent the wiki, and I have some of the books. I don't know everything, though, so forgive me for claiming you were inaccurate.

Wolfchild, where did you get the name Bram Redmaw? Did you make it up, or is it one of the actual leaders of the thirteen Great Companies according to canon?

EDIT: Also, we'll go either tomorrow or when I feel we have enough people.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Main_Page is another source of information.

http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Rogue_Trader offers some interesting insights and mentions bribery, although not in a conventional form.

But I could see administrators trying to bribe people with various things, and a resort planet doesn't sound too far-fetched to me...

I forgot to add an application sheet to the main post... We'll be using the same one as the last:

Starting skills: Chopping during food preparation, chopping during surgery, chopping in fights.
Starting equipment: Power Armour, Plague Sword, Plasma Pistol.
Background: Ancient and mostly insane plague marine who seeks only the simple pleasures of caring for the needs of others so that they may better appreciate and endure Nurgle's gifts.
