I'm curious about Rogue Trader groups' experiences with space hulks in general and those created with Ark of Lost Souls material in particular. I did pull the hulk from DH: Purge the Unclean for a prior Deathwatch game but I haven't used space hulks since.

Relevant thread I stumbled across:

And one from the Deathwatch board:

Wow - great links to other threads. And no, unfortunately have not used Ark of Lost Souls, but now will probably buy it.

I used the one from... what ever that first DH book of 3 adventures was. Anyway, My group is on good relations with an Inquisitor, and were on Sentilla at the time, so they recived an 'annonamous' package with a dataslate with all the informationa about the spacehulk, the map with a route traced out on it, and a copy of the Inquisitorial order to the Navy to wait until the last possible minute to begin destruction. It also, of course, made a specific exemption to Rogue Traders on the qarinteen order.

So the Explorersn rushed to their ship and got out there to begin setting up salvage operations on the closest imperial hulk (under the supervision of NPC techpriests, etc.) and got themselves geared up to try and delve deep into the hulk to find out what this signal the Inquisitor had picked up was. The rest of the adventure ran almost exactly like the module, minus the dues ex Deathwatch.

Over all, it was a lot of fun and looting a chance, in a way, to do a little Dungeon Crawl In Spaaaace! The only think I regret is not filling out the middle section a bit more. To much time at the ends, not enough time on the path. So if you do this adventure, I'd recomend filling that part out.
