StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 503 Reclaiming the Lost Settlement Land
Bhekar Ro

Becca Raw is an extremely remote world, so remote that it is not shown on any published star map, and has never been heard of by even the most adventurous adventurers.

The edge world refers to the place far away from the civilized world on the edge of the Koprulu star sector, in the outermost outermost layer.It is usually considered by the core world to be wild and backward, with barren land and lack of products, the legal system collapsed, and rituals and music do not exist.The people who live on it are both uncivilized and have to do the poorest and lowest work to support themselves.

This increasingly ingrained prejudice has also led people in the core world to believe that people in the outer colonies and peripheral worlds are generally uneducated and rude.

This kind of view seems to be tenable. The worlds that have prospered in economy, technology and art are all within the cultural radiation range of Tarsonis and Umoyan. Interstellar shipping is also extremely developed, which can lead to any A rapidly developing world.

And the fringe world is more like a vassal of the core world and an object to be squeezed. They are usually not fully controlled by the capital of the founding family and giant enterprises, but that is only a matter of time.

Under the rule of the Tyrann Federation, the wealth of the entire federation was continuously converging to the core worlds such as Tarsonis, and the conflict between the peripheral world and the core world intensified, which immediately brought about one after another of rebellions.

It was against such an era background that some Tyrannic humans did not join the official plan of the Tyranid Federation to open up colonies, but chose to find and build new homes by themselves.

In this way, self-organized colonists emerged with their few possessions.Colonial contingents ranged in size from small to large, but generally included people from all walks of life, including miners, cooks, architects, railroad workers, teachers, and crappy third-rate doctors.
The new world they could choose had to meet two basic conditions. First, it had to be far away from the main shipping lanes and be far enough away from the Tyrann Federation's border so that it wouldn't be discovered by the Federation's cruising fleet.Then, the planet must also support the most basic human life activities.

But there are very few planets that meet these two conditions at the same time. The Koprulu galaxy is already outside the Milky Way, and the density of stars is far less than that in the center of the Milky Way. That is to say, the possibility of habitable planets here is even lower.

To find a new home, the colonists had to stay as far away from the Federation world as possible, and the quality and equipment of the ships they carried determined how far they could go.

More than 30 years ago, the first colonists who came to Beka Rao established the only settlement on the planet and named it Free Haven.Driven by idealism, all the residents were given an equal share of arable land, where they lived in peace and thrived.

Today's Freeport is dominated by the second generation of Freeport residents. Most of their parents died of serious diseases or accidents in the harsh and difficult living environment in the early days of the colony.For today's residents of Beka Rao, the Tyrann Federation and the red and blue flags it represents have already become a distant memory.

But after all, they came to Beka Luo to establish the utopia in their hearts to avoid the exorbitant taxes, oppression, and wars of the Tyrann Federation. It is best not to have any contact with the Federation.

However, an unexpected outsider arrived towards the end of the year 2493.

They call themselves the Tyranid Empire, wear power armor the colonists of Becca Ro have never seen before, and have a large number of mechas and aircraft tanks.

The Starship Soldiers of the Tyranid Empire claim they bring peace and tranquility, but in Becca Ro's eyes, they only bring dominion.

It is reported that the Tailun Empire came here completely by accident.At that time, their scientific expedition team composed of scientific ships and exploration spacecraft was carrying out the task of marking possible immigrant worlds and reconnecting with other lost planets on the edge of the Koprulu star sector. Lo.

And because the residents of Becca Luo have always been repelled from contact with the outside world and have never contacted areas other than the planet, it is difficult to be discovered.

"For God's sake, this is a free colony. The people here do not belong to any human regime, and all the residents are the common master of Becca Luo." At this moment, on the main street at the southern entrance of Freeport, A group of townspeople, plucked together by courage and love of home, surround a young officer in a blue-and-black navy uniform.

These townspeople are generally in their 30s and [-]s, and they have already married and started businesses very early.Because of the harsh environment and difficult conditions, people over forty age quickly and have a short life span.

Among this group of townspeople, Jacob Nikolai (Jacob Nikolai), who is only 23 years old, was the most vocal. The barren world of war, the only output here is rye, oats, lizard meat and a small amount of high-energy gas, except for these, you can get nothing."

"Okay. I think our planetary geologists and meteorologists have figured this out very well." This young officer is a soldier of the Tyrann Empire, a lieutenant named Bra Bralik.He spoke with a distinct Inner World accent, either from Tarsonis or from Keha and Bronte's side.

"I want to reiterate that the Tyrannian Empire did not come here to enslave the people here like the Tyrannian Federation in the past"

"There is no Tyrannian Federation here, sir, there is no Tyrannian Federation here, let Beka Luo's people go!" Nicholas begged.

"We are here only to better build this planet and make it more suitable for human habitation. As immigrants, you lack the necessary equipment support, and you cannot get support from other worlds." Young Tai The officers of the Lun Empire are obviously very patient, without any arrogance and domineering.

"This place is too small. There are only a few thousand people on the entire planet but they all live in very dense small towns. The crops are also very single, which means that an unprecedented infectious disease can kill most of the people. , and the disease among the crops is enough to make Beka Roo a crop failure." He said:
"Besides, you've lived too far away to know what's going on at the edge of the world. Two alien races that humans have never seen before are invading the human world, and I can tell you that one of the races, the Zerg The last time it appeared was very close to your home."

"What? Zerg?" It was not the first time that Nicholas and the townspeople around him had heard the name from the imperial soldiers.

But for these people whose concepts are still stuck 30 years ago, they really don't know about Han, regardless of Wei and Jin.It's like someone in the 60s just saw robots and other aliens from science fiction that should have existed in the movies.

"That's right, Zerg, in fact, we have found the Zerg-spreading virus spore phage in the neighboring galaxy of Becca Luo, less than 12 parsecs away, and the Zerg virus is rapidly spreading in this way Expanding on the edge of the Coplu galaxy, so to speak, they will arrive here soon. It will only take a few days for this virus to destroy your colony, no, it will only take half a day!" The imperial officer said:

"You have seen those video tapes and zerg specimens, and you should believe some of them. All in all, we will not enter your town, but will build a military base and scientific research station nearby."

"This is not just to protect the planet. This is already the most important part of the epidemic blockade. And you will soon know what a real disaster means." He looked at the time and said:

"Now I have to go. Regardless of whether you recognize the Tyrannian Empire or not, please accept the flag of the Tyrannian Empire. As long as there is this flag, it belongs to the protection of the empire."

"You don't have to worry, the army will never step into your homes and occupy farming and mining facilities. The military order is like a mountain, and I will not stay for a long time again."

After speaking, the majestic imperial officer handed over the imperial flag to the representative among them, and Jacob Nicholas left.He came alone with a gun, and he left without taking anything.

I want to save you, what to do with you.

"They must be crazy, how could aliens really exist!" The stonemason Kiernan Werner was an extremely strong young man with a voice as loud as a bell.In this harsh land, only the strongest will survive long.

"These imperial people are thinking of ways to cheat our trust, so that they can take the opportunity to seize the town, so that the people here can pay taxes and work for the nobles of the empire for generations. They will also try their best to seize and plunder the land. The government only It will make everything worse!" Miner Lars is very old, he is even a few rounds older than the oldest building in Freeport.

Lars hates the Federation very much. To be more precise, he even hates crowded places and prefers to live alone:
"Listen, we should take up arms and fight them to the end. These people are nothing but thieves, liars and robbers!"

"I heard from that soldier that it was the Tyrann Empire that overthrew the Tyrannian Federation. Now, the corrupt government has been replaced by a clean and honest government. A young man named Augustus Mengsk declared himself the emperor of the Tyrannian Empire. It seems that the soldier is as loyal as hell to his emperor." Old Bren was a farmer, and he and his wife supported a pair of children with hardworking hands.

"Come on, change the soup without changing the medicine, he is still playing the first citizen trick!" Kirsten Werner is a teacher and amateur engineer in Freeport. He likes to read e-books left by his parents:

"A republic is the most ludicrous joke, a system in which the dictator can enjoy all the rights of an absolute monarchy without having to restrain himself for the image of the royal family."

"The Tyrann Empire is an empire, not a republic. Don't make a mistake. This shows that he doesn't hide his ambitions at all." Old Brunn supported his family by doing farm work, but never gave up thinking and learning—he believed that, This is one of the best qualities in human beings.

"As long as he is a wise monarch, when Augustus is alive, the people of the Tyrann Empire can live in an enlightened and prosperous age."

"If what the imperial soldier said is true, Becca Rocco will really be in trouble. At that time, just as they expected, the people in Freeport will have to ask the Tyrannian Empire for help." Jacob Nicholas is a passionate young man who is good at oratory. Although he can only talk empty words and seldom do anything practical, he still has the right to speak among the residents of Freeport.

Nicholas held in his hand the banner given to him by the imperial officer, a spotless bright red banner with a shining gold star on it.

In fact, this is not the only thing that these unexpected soldiers of the Tyrannian Empire gave them. Before that, they also used trucks and transport ships to transport a large number of medicines and metal products that Freeport could no longer produce.On this material-poor planet, that's literally more precious than gold.

However, the residents of Freeport still rejected this gift. They couldn't believe that anyone in this world would be so generous.

"I saw what the Tyranid Empire brought—a starship bigger than a city, boy, that was a rarity when my grandfather was still living in the Federation. And dare I say, the starships of the Empire would It’s bigger than the Federation’s.” He couldn’t help showing that he hadn’t seen the world:
"They also brought tanks and cannons. I saw with my own eyes hundreds of imperial soldiers stepping off the rumbling transport ships. Old Lars, a thousand of you are no match for them."

"The town meeting must be convened, no matter what, after that, we have to accept the fait accompli that we must share our home with these soldiers of the Tyrann Empire." While speaking, Nicholas noticed that the sky of Becca Luo was getting dark clouds Gathering together, the howling wind seemed to be crying like thousands of evil spirits.If you're not lucky, downpours and even hailstorms will immediately bruise people on the streets.

Becca Luo is such a terrible place. Her weather is like a woman with uncertain weather. The raging thunderstorms sweep across the planet, easily destroying the buildings and buildings that the townspeople have worked so hard to build. Fields that have been carved out of mountainous landscapes through painstaking efforts.

Whenever the thunderstorms pass, people in Freeport have to replant crops and repair equipment, but if there is an energy shield that can cover the entire town of the Tyrannian Empire, Becca Luo will be much safer.

About 7 or 8 miles to the southeast of Freeport, a towering starport of the Tyranid Empire stands in the deep purple thunder, and three battlecruisers are passing through the black clouds.All kinds of military camps, hospitals, and living facilities are being built around the star port, and factories are still being built on some high-energy gas springs that cannot be exploited due to the distance.

Just seeing this scene, Nicholas and the surrounding townspeople felt uneasy.

As Nicholas said, Becca Luo has no resources that can be coveted by the Tyrannian Empire, so they must be building something here for other purposes.

There are about 2000 to 3000 residents living in Freeport, which is less than the number of people in a military camp of the Tyrann Empire.

Maybe there really are some murderous aliens on the way.

"Hurry up and call the townspeople to vote at the citizens' assembly. Something big is about to happen." Nicholas handed the flag of the Tyrannian Empire to Old Brun and said, "Go to the central square of Freeport and raise it up."

"Raise the flag of the empire, anyway, you won't lose a piece of meat, so trust me a little bit."

　This planet comes from "Shadow of Sarnaga". Although there are two famous scenes of Yamato's cannon-second aircraft carrier in the war, which is like opening an interstellar, but in terms of shaping the interstellar world view and the customs of the marginal world Still an excellent work.
