Footfall and Port Wander Gazetteer?

By Telosse, in Rogue Trader Gamemasters

Is there any 'detailed' gazzeteer for Footfall and Port Wander? Well, Port Wander is quite detailed in Into the Storm, but Footfall only described a bit at Lure of the Expanse; is there any other sources?

One of the main question is, which one is 'bigger' (in the sense of population); Port Wander or Footfall? For now I'm assuming Footfall's size of landscapes are much bigger than Port Wander.

Thank you in advance.

The Section in Lure of the Expanse is titled Footfall Gazeteer, so no there is none more detailed, and I don't think we'll see one in the future (some more information on several parts/groups of footfall maybe)

Yea, Lure of the Expanse has good details on Footfall.

The Footfall gazetteer in Lure of the Expanse is actually quite detailed. However, it does not specify an exact size or population other than "big".

Port Wander, per the gazetteer in Into the Storm, is 14 - 16 kilometers across and has about 5 million inhabitants, with another 5 million odd in the surrounding asteroid habs and satellite stations around Port Wander.

So, whichever one is larger is entirely up to the GM.

How big is Footfall?

I swear you ask questions like that to be obtuse. No specific size is given; given that Footfall itself isn't even a static structure, it's impossible to say with any certainty. But if you want an estimate of scale, there's a statue of the Emperor in the centre of it all that's the size of a grand cruiser.

30 Million Souls - far in excess of Port Wander, I still yet have to find a "city" that's bigger in the Koronus...

I believe Port Wander approximates in at 5 million souls - give or take.

What is the source of this figure? Is 30 million officially stated somewhere?

No, it's a web source, but some decent ideas though...a bit big for my tastes.

I agree. Maybe 7 - 10 million ought to be good, with only 3/4 of that being registered people / humans, while the rest is heretics, scum, cultists, xeno, and the like.

That works better for me, though I'm aware that 40k and its fandom likes to go big, and that's fine, too.
