With this mod I tried to expand the list of selectable Homeworlds with lore-friendly and balanced (?) options. I researched the original Rogue Trader manuals, transposing, if not the Talents and stats, at least the mood and themes from the original pen-and-paper RPG.

Like the 6 vanilla options, each of the 6 new Homeworlds has an Innate Feat and a selection of 5 Talents built around the main theme, whether for gameplay or roleplay. New Homeworlds may be added in the future.

Homeworlds

  • Frontier World - exotic weapons, interactions with xenos, guns
  • Feral World - strength, primitive weapons, berserker-like playstyle
  • Penal World - be mean, do crime
  • Shrine World - stacks of burning, grenades, extra damage against the heretics
  • Agri-World - toughness, incremental bonus
  • Tainted World - perils of the warp, scaling on heretical ranks

Compatibility

Fully compatible with PlayableX, except for the Navigator Origin.
The quirks of OMM and UMM will create visual duplicates in the Homeworld selection [fixed in 1.1.1 using MicroPatches 1.17.1+]

Feel free to use the comments section to suggest additions and changes. I am not an expert in builds by any means, and your opinion could be valuable help.
