The character of Stella, a delicate young woman nurtured by the Ecclesiarchy, emerges as a compelling companion in the upcoming expansion of Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Despite her frail appearance, Stella possesses formidable psychic abilities that position her as a miraculous figure, revered by her order as a creation of the God Emperor Himself. However, her status as an unsanctioned psyker adds a layer of complexity to her character, as she grapples with the volatile nature of her powers, which manifest in unsettling ways, including tears of blood and cracks in her porcelain skin.
In the heat of battle, Stella unleashes a devastating wave of psychic flares, inflicting area damage on her foes. While she can learn to harness her abilities to some extent, the inherent dangers of veil degradation and the warp ensure that she remains ensnared in a cycle of peril and madness.
Expansion Details
As the three-year journey of expansions for Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader approaches its conclusion this December with the release of Processional of the Damned, players can anticipate the introduction of a new storyline and companion. This addition will seamlessly integrate into the existing narrative rather than serving as an epilogue to the campaign. Stella, with her unique attributes, certainly raises eyebrows and invites intrigue.
However, her character does come with a few cautionary notes:
- Cries tears of blood
- Possesses unstable powers
- May be considered heretical
- “She will never truly be free from peril and madness”
- A living weapon
While the release date for Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy remains unannounced, it is confirmed to be “coming soon.” In addition to this, fans can look forward to The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, which promises a departure from Owlcat’s traditional RPG offerings, potentially bringing fresh excitement to the gaming landscape.
