 It is said that in conjunction with several outspoken radical Arch-Magoi the Dynasties repaired systems including an archaeotech Gellar field generator of unimaginable power, and invited the collected Rogue Traders of the Expanse to tow the station through the warp to a point well beyond the Line. Here it became the seat of the Council of Angels, the appointed governing body of the Rogue Traders, although few meetings of the Council actually took place on the station.
-Back across the Maw, closer to Imperial space, Arkangel was a hive of scum and villainy from which Rogue Traders launched their endeavours into the void in search of profit. It was a safe harbour and a still point in the storm of a dynasty’s existence.
+Back across the Maw, closer to Imperial space, Arkangel was a hive of scum and villainy from which Rogue Traders launched their endeavours into the void in search of profit. It was a safe harbour and a still point in the storm of a dynasty’s existence. Out here beyond the Maw of Ni’ir, Arkangel is the only sanctuary the Rogue Trader crews have and their last life line to the Imperium.

 What emerged from the chaos was a bicameral division of power. “The Captains’ Table”, where the head of every Dynasty in good standing has an equal voice, took control of the business of the station, maintaining both the security and the lucrative nature of Arkangel’s business. The Captains’ Table deals with matters of policy, setting the agenda for the station and mediating disputes between the dynasties. They police their own, set and enforce expected codes and standards of behaviour, and work together for the good of the entire enterprise while, of course, furthering their own agendas, building their own legends and filling their own vaults. They are also responsible to the Imperium for keeping the space around the station open to what traffic there is, and enjoy the benefits of the main supply from Imperial Space.
 The administration of the station falls under the purview of the Malakhim of Arkangel. These blank-faced servitors, bound by tight data engram-enforced loyalty to the station, fulfil the role of the Administratum. They make certain that the station is stocked, that the vaults are secured, that ships are refuelled, and that the station is mechanically and logistically kept functional.  You can speak in front of one about murder, treason, or gross dereliction of Imperial Law, and – as long as nothing you say endangers the station itself – there will be no reaction. They serve to coordinate the “back room” activities that make the station functional, and to provide a non partisan ‘civil service’ that allows the Rogue Traders to be confident that the port will remain free. They take no sides in inter-dynastic disputes, but if they determine that an individual or dynasty is sufficiently beyond the pale – worshipping the dark powers, for example, or guilty of the blackest realms of Tech Heresy, or worse yet, of actions deleterious to the good order of the station – they will declare that individual or dynasty persona or personae non grata; no longer welcome at Arkangel. Access to central station resources – fuel, supplies, oxygen – will be cut off as and where practical, they are expelled from the station, and the defence grid will open fire on them and any vessel carrying them should they attempt to return.

 In that meeting it was agreed to move the Arkangel Station – the long standing freeport of the sector – through the Maw of Ni’ir, and beyond Imperial tax jurisdiction once more. The Station’s Gellar field generator was strong enough for the task, and with the crusade finished, the opportunities in the Ruhrort Sector were thinning. An approach from the Sector Governor offered a resupply line back through the Maw for up to a century. With this lifeline in place, the Rogue Traders committed their fortunes and dynasties to the project. The Arkangel Station was transported to the edge of the Maw. The ships of the dynasties were secured in dock, and as the first game began, Arkangel transitioned through the Maw, a journey that was eventful, dangerous, and wracked with equipment failures.
