House Paruta

**House Paruta** is an old Rogue Trader family that fell from grace and became minor to middle noble traders. The family was chosen near the tail end of the Great Crusade when the new Imperium needed Rogue Traders. The history of Paruta is forgotten and hazy after thousands of years of involvement with the Imperium. The loss of their trader writ and ship that held it and a lot of their history was. Their status severely diminished with the loss of the writ. The house can only hope to find their writ and the lost ship of their family.

By M38, their writ is recovered, but their history and ship was not. The house would spend a lot of time in search of their old ship and history.

## History

House Paruta members were able to trace their ancestry back to the 35th millennium when the house fragmented and family members turned on each other. The house of 300 members went down to about forty when they threw themselves and their planet into a minor civil war. Both sides had around ten Kallior PDF Regiments each. Not much is known about the small conflict, except that it lasted three weeks and the losers were accused of corruption, confirmed crimes, and false crimes. All members of the failed side were executed.

After a few hundred years, the Paruta's figured out that their history dates way back to the Age of Strife and Great Crusade. The lore of their house that was able to be recovered, the lore not on the lost ship were found. The House was given a Warrant of Trade by the Imperium near the tail end of the Great Crusade. Unable to find it, they realized that the lose of the Warrant of Trade was the whole reason for the splintering of the house and the civil war.

Unable to go out and find it, the House resorted to becoming traders in their sector. The house had split itself so there were family members in the trade business, the Imperial Navy and the Guard. Those members who were put in the Guard would eventually learn the skills to help raise and train regiments for the greater Imperium. Those in the Navy would learn the skills of ships to pass down their knowledge to help the house in building their trade fleet and using the ships.

This whole plan was to and gain the notice of the higher up in the Imperium. The house would make a lot of money by trading supplies between worlds. While on occasion helping the Guard and the Tech Priests deliver logistics to forces in need.

For the next few thousand years, the House would send small expeditions out to find the remains of the crashed ship in hope of at least salvaging their history. That was until they received a message from a Space Marine Chapter informing them the Chapter had found a person posing as a family member of their house. This imposter was found with the long lost Warrant of Trade.

The Warrant was reunited with the House and they were indebt to the Space Marine Chapter. This chapter was called the Langothan Wardens. The ship was also given to the house then search extensively. In hopes of finding the location where the wreck of their lost ship was.

For the next few thousand years up till the Plague Wars, Paruta would service the Imperium and the Space Marine Chapters how ever they can. Having owed their house's status to the Wardens. They would make many risky trade missions into Xenos space and other parts of the galaxy that are not blocked by the Inquisition. Not wanting to loose their status again, the House fought valiantly alongside other Imperium forces to help keep Chaos at bay. Paruta made many risky missions transporting Imperial forces around the sectors that needed help.
