Creatures and Enemies in Rogue Trader are all the hostiles or NPCs that become hostile against the protagonist party. Enemies will attack your party until your Health Points are emptied. Confrontation and combat against Enemies is a very common mechanic in Turn-Based RPGs, but sometimes it's possible to avoid combat by picking the right dialogs or by passing through using stealth abilities.
Whenever an Enemy is defeated they will fall to the ground and generally drop whatever they were carrying or wielding. Defeating an Enemy will grant you XP, the amount of XP granted depends on the level of the enemy and how much of a threat they are.
Boss Encounter in Rogue Trader
Bosses are the ultimate Enemy and can be found normally at the end of a Quest or after advancing a good portion of a long Quest. Bosses grant a lot of XP and may drop valuable Items when defeated. Main Quest Bosses are not avoidable, some Bosses go through different stages when they lose a certain amount of Health during combat.
Enemy Behavior in Rogue Trader
Enemy AI in Rogue Trader is able to adapt to their surrounding which makes the combat interesting. The enemy AI follows the same set of rules as the player and they have the same base moves as the player. Engaging in combat in Rogue Trader can entail a lot of planning and making sure that you outsmart the AI with every move by maximizing your turn.

Engaging Enemies in Battle in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
The results of the beta survey of Owlcat Games showed that Rogue Trader is improving steadily after they received the results. The developers are looking to implement more frequent encounters in some areas and fix battles that tend to feel repetitive. For the space combat, more fixes are still being worked on and adding variety to the encounters.
As for ground combat, whenever enemies engage you in combat in Rogue Trader, the game will transition to a turn-based tactical game where you will see all the participating characters. At the center of the screen, you will see all your party members highlighted in green. If this combat is something that your party is aware of, you will be able to prepare your party and position them in the right places, this is called the Preparation Phase. However, if this is a surprise or sneak attack, there will be no option to reposition your crew. For each turn, a character has limited moves which include its Movement Points, Action Points, Initiatives, and Abilities, then, alternating with the enemy AI.
Each character is also allowed 4 consumables in combat that they can use. This can range from any of the available ones in their backpack to help turn the tides in their favor like Healing. Finally, Rogue Trader features the concept of a Momentum. This is shown in the form of a bar that collects a type of energy depending on how the character is performing in combat. Once filled up, the character will be able to perform a "Heroic Act" or a "Desperate Measure". These abilities that a character can pull off are based on the Archetype and vary from one to another.
