Following, I'm not sure if I want to grind into 40k lore to kick off the rust but this is a very unique concept, and I'm quite curious how the rogue trader will travel without the light of the Astronomicon to guide them.

People can use short ranged warp jumps, similarly to how the Tau are able to travel in the current setting.

Rogue traders do occasionally have space marines onboard, so yes. That works too. Though only one or two people could app as one, as it's supposedly very rare for rogue traders to have even one in their ship.
