In centuries of wandering the cruiser Chiron's Sojourn has amassed a surprising collection of vehicles, weapons, and devices from the alien and arcane to the surprisingly mundane. Several of the Rogue Traders who have helmed this ship have treated the cavernous hold as something of a museum, adding to the collection wherever possible.
You, lucky traveler, have a chance to peek through the hold, and see what wonders it contains.
Vehicles (note, all vehicles are created using Rogue Trader vehicles for guidelines more than anything found in Only War or other systems)
Goliath APC: The Goliath is a superheavy hybrid tank/APC commonly used as a command vehicle in the many land wars of Zayeth. It's rarely found elsewhere, but a few have escaped to those with the coin or force to procure one. Most Imperial Guard regiments would consider it lackluster as a tank and slow and limited as an APC, but quite capable as a command vehicle and valuable for it's multi-role capability and ability to take a full platoon into situations that would turn a Chimera into a flaming wreck.

Direstar fighter/bomber
An Eldar multi-role craft used almost exclusively by Eldar corsairs. It doesn't have the sheer maneuverability of the Darkstar or the bomb capacity of the Eagle, but it has the flexibility to fill in on either role or even as a gunship in surface operations. It's best at surprise attacks as every opportunity to increase it's stealth has been taken, from baffled quiet engines to low heat emissions and sensor scattering hull. Often times the first one knows of this craft's presence is the roar of detonating sonic charges. The bays are flexible enough that once they're empty of charges the space can be filled with loot or other cargo.

Gargoyle type repair and salvage frame. An ancient walker type vehicle that is considered the template that many walkers after it were built on. It's not exactly lost tech, but due to the high tech nature and great expense of each walker, especially the micro-fusion plant, it is extremely rare. Some consider it not worth the cost, even given it's extraordinary capabilities.
While not intended as a combat machine, it is quite sturdy, and in the past Gargoyles have been modified into potent combat walkers, able to tear their enemies to pieces in hand to hand combat or lay down withering salvos of firepower.
The pilot sits inside a small pilot's compartment in the walker's chest. Despite the cramped conditions the compartment is reasonably comfortable, even for long periods of time. Piloting the walker requires the Drive (walker) skill. The controls are complicated, having to cover the arms, legs, thrusters, tools, sensors, communication etc, and without the use of an MIU the driver suffers a -10 penalty to all tests related to piloting and fighting from the machine.
Type: Walker
Speed: 60Kph cruising 10M tactical
Maneuverability: +10
Structural integrity: 20
Size: Hulking
Armor: 22 all facings
Crew 1: Driver
Cargo/Passengers: can carry up to 2 metric tonnes. Internal is none per-say (glove compartment sized)
Weapons: Melta Drill (Stars of Inequity page 94, but reduce the penalty to attack to -10 and no fatigue concerns obviously)
Servo fist blow (Class: Melee, Damage 2d10+14 pen 0, Unbalanced)
EM Rivet gun ( Class: Basic Range: 6m Damage:1d10+2 RoF: s/2/- Pen: 2 Clip: 30 Reload: 3 full Qualities: Reliable, Availability: Common)
Equipment: MIU interface, Melta-drill/cutter, welding torch, electromagnetic rivet/nail gun, built in multi-tool, Spotlight, vox caster, radiation shielding, auspex, chronometer, life support system with a 3 day duration, zero-g impellers (flier 10 in zero g and no penalties to maneuver), and micro and macro manipulators (able to wield human sized tools and weaponry with a -10 penalty). It's power supply utilizes a micro fusion plant which will last for 1 year of heavy use before requiring refurbishing and refueling, a process that takes a couple of days in appropriate facilitates.
Special rules: Ground vehicle, Walker, Re-enforced Hull, strength rating 70(14) unnatural strength.
Availability: Near Unique
War walker
Modification for war can increase the armor and hull integrity to 25, replace the rivet gun with a pistol or basic weapon, and put a basic or heavy weapon over the shoulder (retobi missile launcher, las cannon, heavy bolter) in place of the spotlight. Mounted heavy weapons do not require bracing before firing and all weapons have ammo hoppers or similar storage to quadruple their normal clip size. The war walker generally keeps the melta drill as a melee weapon.
These modifications reduce the vehicle's maneuverability to 0 and speed to 45mph/8m tactical.
