StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 152 Raid on the Delarian Shipyard

Della IV star, a large orbital shipyard. 14:34 SCT (Standard Time), 6.17.2489.

Thousands of orange-red gleams emerged from the end of the hyperspace jump channel, which were thousands of feet long tail marks left by the battleship's thrusters.A large number of two-wing turbine nano-repair drones surround the steel armor on the sides and belly of the behemoth-class battlecruiser Norad II, like swimming fish surrounded by whale sharks in the deep sea.

About a mile horizontally to either side of the Norad II were her companion ships, the Hyperion and the Iron Justice.The three Behemoth-class battlecruisers have different alphanumeric numbers and livery on their sides, with the Hyperion in classic Reynolds blue and the Iron Justice in the silver gray of the 33rd Ground Assault Division.Norad's livery is still the red color of the Tyranid Federation, but the golden prints of the Mengsk family and the Korhal Revolutionary Army have been added to the bow of the ship.

The moment the fleet jumped out of the hyperspace channel, the interior of the bridge of the Norad II was brightly lit, and the holographic projection screens lit up one after another and the LED fluorescent screens on the console showed the faces of many revolutionary warship captains, almost forty Individuals are speaking at the same time, and their voices are slightly distorted due to the disturbance of the space fluctuations of the hyperspace channel.

"Thankfully, we finally arrived on time," Jim Raynor said on the Hyperion's comm channel.

"This is Horace Warfield. I am commanding my fleet on the Iron Justice." Warfield was dressed in a revolutionary uniform, standing upright, with a solemn expression like a stone statue.

"Giant-class frigate VII is calling the flagship bridge, the fleet is moving."

"Giant-class troop carrier X."

"Wraith 7, 8, and 9 are speeding away from the fleet in the direction of Della Ⅳ, and are activating the invisible force field generator-oh hoo-this thing is so fucking fast, I'm about to fly !Praise Keha!"

Augustus was wearing a dark gray military uniform of the commander of the Keha Revolutionary Army. The three-dimensional cut and waist design of the military uniform well reflected his well-trained body. He stood at the porthole of the Norad II bridge, synthetically His more mature face is reflected on the glass, and outside the window is the distant starlight and the double star system of the Della galaxy that is getting closer and closer, and four sister planets that are almost the same size.

Tychus in crimson power armor is standing on Augustus' right hand. On his scratched shoulder armor is a beautiful portrait of a pink-haired girl. This is Mr. Finley in the port of the dead. One of the loves of my life I met.Sarah Kerrigan stood at Augustus' right hand holding her C-10 shotgun, her powerful telepathic ability listening to the hearts of every Revolutionary soldier present.

For the time being, Augustus has not arranged for Mira Han, whom he met in the Port of the Dead, to be on the bridge or at the command post, and let her serve as the commander of a revolutionary army unit.For Augustus, he didn't need time to prove that the future leaders of the rebel army like Renault and Mira and the mercenary queen of the Port of the Dead are quite outstanding leaders, but too fast promotion will somewhat Incur dissatisfaction.

Meeting Mira Han was an accident, and Augustus did not deliberately look for her. Presumably, an ambitious person like Mira would not miss the opportunity to be recruited by the Revolutionary Army.

And if Augustus behaved too deliberately, then others would not take it for granted that Mira was very talented, but would only think that he was too fond of an unknown underage girl.

When the vibration during the transition disappeared, the galaxies, planets, and galaxies detected by the battleship’s sensors popped up on the main screen of the bridge, including the population, axis inclination, and temperature of Planet Della IV. Dozens of screens surrounded Augustus, More than [-] soldiers of the Keha Revolutionary Army Fleet are quietly waiting for his order.

"Broadcast my order to the entire fleet." Augustus's face was reflected brilliantly under the lights of the bridge, and many subtle emotions were buried under the calm expression: "I am Augustus. Stu Mengsk, soldiers of the Revolutionary Army, I am talking to you on the flagship Norad II."

"Keha is lost, our compatriots who have been forced to leave their homes have suffered, and a common destiny and a common destiny have bound us together, united, and united." Augustus said: "Now, all homeless Keha Everyone has a common name - Son of Kehal. We will never give in, never compromise."

"Before we completely overthrow the decadent rule of the Tyrann Federation and establish a free and democratic Tyrannian Republic, we will never change."

Augustus said: "The fate of Keha and all Keha people and even the Tyranids is in this battle. This is a desperate battle. All fleets, go forward!"

"I am with the souls of thousands of Keha!"

The fleet is advancing in a spontaneous silence and determination. They still have about an astronomical unit on the Della IV planet where the large federal orbital shipyard is located. Several elite wraith fighters and fast strike ships are performing reconnaissance and tracking tasks. The formation has approached the huge shipyard, and the images sent back show that it is a giant man-made space structure with a diameter of more than [-] miles, comparable to a miniature moon.

This is the largest orbital shipyard in the history of the Tyranid Federation, constructed of moldable concrete, stainless steel, composite metal and exterior ceramic panels, its unparalleled scale and polyhedral art style are any planetary star limited by gravity What Hong Kong can't compare to, even a behemoth-class battlecruiser can only be regarded as a small spot of light in front of it.

When Norad II was driving forward at a high speed, it seemed to be heading towards a planet. There were countless signal lights shining brightly on it. Dozens of orbital space stations and mobile research stations seemed to be planets revolving around a star.

A large number of Federation fighter planes sailed out of the Delarian Shipyard like a swarm of bees leaving their nests towards the fleet of the Keha Revolutionary Army, converging into red dots on the radar scanning map.

It is impossible for such a fleet to quietly approach a heavily guarded military location. Unless it can escape all detection methods including radar scanning, Augustus can only lead the fleet to make a surprise attack.

"No signal from any Federation fleet has been traced." The navigator of the Norad II said: "Sir, this place seems to be undefended."

"No, usually, there will be at least one squadron moored in the Delarian Shipyard, but now all the fleets are scattered in the marginal galaxy, the border line between the Tyranid Federation and the Kel Morian Federation, Tarsonis Prime and . Ha IV," said Augustus' Umoyan advisor.

"The Tyrann Federation Fleet intelligence intercepted and deciphered by the Umoyan Intelligence Agency shows that nearly two-thirds of the fleet has been transferred to Korhal IV, and forty behemoth-class battlecruisers carried more than two thousand Apocalypse Class nuclear bomb." Umoyan military adviser said.

"The defense inside the Delarian Orbital Shipyard is much more shabby. Apart from the behemoth-class battlecruisers that are moored in the dock of the orbital shipyard for maintenance, there are also some Leviathan-class battlecruisers that are under attack. Carry out dismantling after scrapping." He said.

"Even if this is the case, it is impossible for the Della galaxy to be defenseless. Although it is the edge of the Federation's territory, it operates as the Federation's interstellar trade and transportation hub. The Delarian Shipyard, which was operating at full capacity during the war, averaged A wraith fighter can be produced in a minute, and this is the most important military location in the entire federation."

"Even if the federal naval command thinks that it is impossible for an enemy other than the Kel Morian fleet to raid here, at least half of the squadron will be stationed here."

"I saw them on the radar map." Augustus said: "There are four behemoth-class battlecruisers, stop them!"

Following Augustus's order, thousands of destroyers, frigates, fighter planes, and assault airship patrol airships sailed towards the four federal behemoth-class battlecruisers without hesitation, while the Norad II made a short trip After the jump, you will come to Entrance [-] of the Delarian Orbital Shipyard.

"It seems that Duke did not truthfully report the number of our fleet to his superiors." The situation was still under Augustus' control, he stared at the large orbital shipyard outside the porthole and said softly: "And the pirate ships we hired Jackson's Revenge should have lured Duke's Alpha Squadron to the Flood Galaxy, two hundred light-years away from the Della Galaxy."

"Duke must be happily chasing that signal tracker." Tychus said with a chuckle. You will be too happy to speak."

"Tell me, how many big ships will there be?" Tychus looked at the magnificent man-made building on the screen: "How much are they worth?"

"There will be no less than twenty behemoth-class battlecruisers." Augustus said: "These battlecruisers have not yet been delivered to the fleet, and you can understand them as a floating car that has just left the factory but is unmanned." .”

"As long as a team including navigators, warp engine technology and engineers can drive a battlecruiser into the sky, it is actually not difficult, but these crews are far from enough for this battleship to have reliable combat effectiveness .”

When the Norad II was less than three miles away from the Delarian Orbital Shipyard, this huge shipyard was constantly enlarged in front of Augustus, and in front of him was an area about There are more than ten miles of walls, and the walls extend infinitely upwards and downwards, and the edges cannot be seen at all.

A track entrance about five miles in length and width is revealed in front of Augustus. These track entrances are connected to deep tunnels, and the signal lights arranged symmetrically in the tunnel are flashing red.

Every entrance facing space has a stable atmosphere stabilization device, but obviously there is no protection other than the turret, not even a shield force field.Infrared and laser sensors at the Delarian shipyard can identify unmarked trespassers but are helpless against the invading fleet.

The automatic machine guns and sentry turrets at the entrance of the Delarian Orbital Shipyard fired at the Revolutionary Army fleet that was swooping down from 360 degrees towards the Delarian Orbital Shipyard. Hundreds of Revolutionary Army fighter planes and Norad II's carrier-based interceptor planes turned into dots of brilliant flames one after another.

"Shields on!" Augustus said.

When the Norad II jumped into the port tunnel, it unfolded its bright green defensive shield. The bullets and laser beams from the sentry machine guns did little damage to the shield. From time to time, there were Wraith fighters from the Tyrann Federation He and the transport ship drove out of the tunnel, but were shot down one by one by Norad II's laser cannon.

As the flagship of Alpha Squadron, the Norad II was the first to upgrade the experimental defense matrix force field generator of the scientific ship Explorer based on the experimental research on the stable energy field.

However, because the reactor of the Behemoth-class battlecruiser is not enough to withstand the energy loss of the shield, plus the cost and many complicated political factors, even after ten years, the vast majority of Behemoth-class battlecruisers are still using the old-fashioned superstructure. Armor defense mode.

"I'm entering from entrance IV." Raynor's voice was interrupted by the electromagnetic interference device in the Delarian orbital shipyard.

"The Iron Justice has entered the hangar at the inner ring of the Delarian Shipyard and is delivering the landing force."

After driving in the tunnel for about ten seconds, the front of Norad II's bridge suddenly became brighter. The interior of the Delarian Orbital Shipyard is completely hollow, and it can even take off and land warships inside.

In front of Augustus, large docks connected to each other and parking platforms full of fighter planes appeared impressively.There is also a larger dock in the center of the Delarian shipyard, with a longitudinal length of even more than half a mile. In the eyes of people standing on the ground, it is a huge canyon. It is hard to imagine what kind of dock it is used for. Colossal.

The Norad II was moving forward close to the ground in the Delarian Shipyard, which consisted of docks, aprons, isolation areas, and staff living areas. In the barrage of orange laser beams that rained down like rain, the extremely thick crane booms were all melted under the firepower of the laser cannon.

In the Delarian shipyard, there are basically shipbuilders and shipyard directors who have lived here all year round, and they are driving space construction engineering vehicles and exoskeleton cargo armors to flee in all directions.In the eyes of these workers, this is a completely doomsday scene. A crazy battlecruiser rushes into the work area and kills all directions, while the Federal Navy is still dozing and turning a blind eye to it.

A transport plane and a shuttle plane used for airborne landing on the surface of the planet sailed out of the shipyard of Norad II, and Tychus, who couldn't bear it, had already disembarked, while Kerrigan was guarding the island of Augu from beginning to end. Situ's side, beware of accidents.

Among the hundreds of docks, some battleships were half built, and Augustus could see their freshly cooled keels and armor neatly stacked on both sides.The intelligent adjutant of the Norad II kept locking on the battlecruisers parked in the dock, and those battlecruisers that had already been built were Augustus' targets.

"According to the scan, there are six behemoth-class battlecruisers that have already been built and are moored in our port A." Augustus' Umoyan consultant tapped on the console in front of the main screen: "Other Seventeen unfinished battlecruisers."

"Lock these unfinished warships." Augustus ordered firmly and decisively without heartache: "Destroy them."
