Are you sure it's not legal, background package cost ship points so I don't see why they wouldn't stack?
Hate to give you a RAW deal, mate, but it isn't legal. Into the Storm, page 153: The background package is instead of rolling on the complications tables. I know, all those tasty, overpowered combinations, shot down in flames...
Cheers,

I'm currently playing the Lady-Captain of His Light Triumphant, a Dictator-class cruiser in the possession of House Morek. Lady-Captain Jesebelle Morek only recently took command of a vessel that's been through hell and back.
I don't know if it's legal by RAW, but we took a background package and rolled for the Machine Spirit and Past History as normal - the old girl's been part of a space hulk and stuck on a planet for Emperor-knows how long (not both at the same time, though, so either she's got bad luck or is just a ****-tough ship). The last word of the name comes from the history and how it's risen triumphantly after each event, the 'Light' comes from the batteries of las-broadsides and the Sunhammer Lance Battery in the prow. Well, that was how the group came up with the name; one of our players then went and wrote this description of it:

Sir, legal or otherwise, your lady is a beauty and you should be proud of her.

Two campaigns, two ships.
First campaign featured a young Rogue Trader, the last of his family after a brutal familicide by a rival RT. He escaped the slaughter with a handful of loyalists into the planet bound Merchant Trader Mount Arbalest. Wasn't the final ship they ended with, but serve as an honorary flagship when it was vengeance seeking time.
Second campaign was a military campaign with an exiled Admiral turned Rogue Trader, taking a good chunk of his command staff with him. They turned the Grand Cruiser Thunder of Guns into a feared bringer of the Emperor's will. Kitted out over the course of several adventures with tons of upgrades, it became known as a holy terror unto its own self. Having a base crew morale of 115% tended to help ease the pain of almost constant combat.
