Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

And Tarsus was originally the place where Sintila PDF was stationed, and it was appropriate to leave this matter to the defense army under his family.

As for the other thing, Siegel wants to confirm the storage of goods in his storage area in Tarsus.

The hive capital of the equatorial region of Tarsus, it undertakes the work of transshipment and storage of interstellar transport goods. Although Sibelius and Tarsus seem to be at odds with each other on the issue of planetary rule, this does not affect the nobles holding each other's hive city Industries, especially the industrial families in the hive capital, they need materials from the universe to ensure that their production lines will not stop.

Of course, the Foster family's warehouse stores far more than industrial products or trade goods.

The group of them entered the middle nest area of ​​Tarsus, and came to the warehouse area under layers of defense. The storage areas of the Foster family are distributed in various locations in Tarsus, but only this area is located near the planetary defense force. The family-funded Defense Corps is directly responsible for security.

The equipment of the 94th "Frost Leaf" Defense Regiment is luxurious. These defense forces wear ice-blue uniforms, shiny leather shoes, and the standard carapace of the Guards.In addition to the standard Imperial Guard gear, each patrol has a weapons specialist armed with weapons such as meltas, plasmas, flamethrowers, and shotguns to use against would-be enemies.

On the fixed defensive facilities outside the warehouse and the camp, the heavy weapons team is on duty daily. They are equipped with automatic guns and heavy explosive bombs, and two missile launchers are placed in the corner of the position.

A heavy bolter and a sharpshooter with an extended lasgun are also deployed on the sentry tower.Of course, all of them carried a longsword.The scabbards and gauntlets of the longswords were elaborately adorned, not some honorable fighting tradition, but simply the old Sintilans.

If there are two helicopters flying over this area from time to time, then it is similar to the heavily guarded US military base in the movie.

Whether it's a storage area or an army garrison, there are a lot of traces of technical priests.I have to admit that the Mechanicus is indeed the other side of the double-headed eagle. In the Empire, no matter what you do, you usually cannot do without their support.

The technical priests in the barracks were maintaining the Leman Rus tanks equipped to the defense forces, while the technical priests in front of Siegel and the others opened the heavy machinery locks in the warehouse next to them.

The gears on the metal gate were slowly turning, and the gate opened to both sides under the action of mechanical force.The lighting device on the wall illuminates the dark warehouse, revealing the silhouette of the huge mechanical creation in the warehouse.

The "Waldo" type tank destroyer has a territory far larger than that of Leman Russ, with a body 11m long, 5m wide, and nearly 4m high, with the huge neutron door protruding from the body Laser main cannon, which can deal a heavy blow to the enemies of the Emperor.

In the 41st millennium of darkness, this heavy tank that appeared during the Great Crusade was named after Constantine Waldo, the commander of the Imperial Army. The completed laser main cannon is enough to threaten most of the armor forces on the battlefield.

This tank destroyer is often properly preserved as a legion sacred object in the Armored Legion of the Star Militia Army, and in the warehouse in front of Siegel and the others, there are a full 10 such tanks parked.After the Foster family participated in the ordnance transfer work above Vraks, these precious vehicles were transferred here from the underground of Vraks.

Although the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs have a list of the goods under the Flax Fortress, the huge quantity and variety on the list make it almost impossible to remember the contents.The managing priests of the Mechanicum may know, but they are not responsible for issuing orders.

Some word games and throne coins can bring these precious treasures buried deep underground to the sky. Siegel has never had such a clear understanding of power. The huge and bloated organization of the empire gave him an opportunity .Except for a part of the equipment that he had throttled, the rest of the equipment was also transported to the Star World Legion in the theater according to the transfer order. He used his slight influence to put these ordnance into the battlefield as much as possible.

Siegel would rather hand over these equipments to the Sintila fusiliers, and let them take them to fight bad battles, and don't want these things to fall into the hands of traitors and target the people of the empire.

Father Mel walked out from the team, and she lovingly stroked the creation of the God of Myriad Opportunities in front of her.Today, there are only a handful of Forge Worlds that can produce this vehicle, including the Forge World of Rath.

"It's well preserved, and I can feel the activity of her machine soul." Father Mel inspected each vehicle in turn, and put forward new maintenance requirements to the technical priest.

"They need to be maintained more carefully. You can't maintain them casually like you maintain Leman Russ. Holy oil, incense, and hymns must be kept every week. If it is not necessary, don't let those big soldiers come in."

Mel didn't care at all that the leaders of the big soldiers were by their side, and General Kellerman seemed to be used to the attitude of the Mechanicus staff, and he didn't care about it either. Of course, Siegel didn't rule out that the other party was looking at his own face. I didn't care about these things.

After all, whether it is the armed sailors on his ship or the planetary defense force funded by the Foster family, all their weapons and equipment come from Vraks.And Siegel can also be sure that the planetary defense force funded by their family is second to none even among the well-equipped Sintila Legion.

However, the price of doing so is that when paying eleven taxes every year, 10% or even 30% of the members of his army must be transferred to the Star Realm Legion.This may be the reason why those "short-sighted" planetary governors and even sector governors chose to betray the Empire.

Because the Empire always takes the best from them without a reason.

Of course, Siegel doesn't care about this. Whatever the empire takes from him, he can take it back from the outside world or from the empire through the name given to him by the empire.After all, it is a bit embarrassing to say that you are a privileged class of the empire, but you confuse yourself as a rebel.

Siegel and the others looked at a few more warehouses, in which were parked several modified models of Leman Russ, self-propelled artillery capable of arming an artillery regiment, and the rare Krasus-type armored personnel carrier.

The weaponry intercepted from Vraks was enough for him to arm four Astra Militarum armored regiments of the highest standard.This is why he is so jealous of the gene-stealer sect. His items are insignificant in the face of the huge armaments of the empire, and no one cares. It's more fun.

The equipment he withheld was purposeful and careful, so as not to irritate the sensitive nerves of the Inquisition with his actions.He doesn't like static artillery. Large-caliber heavy artillery and super-heavy tanks are too taboo. Siegel sends those behemoths to the hands of the Imperial Guard. As for various Chimera chariots and sentry mechs, Sintila can also be produced locally. , Siegel prefers to leave those items in the warehouse to take up space.

Just as Deacon Mamon had begun to corrupt Bishop Savannah, paving the way for his next terrorist plan, Siegel had also quietly sat on the opposite side of the chessboard as his opponent.

The servant of Chaos always likes to play slowly in the dark, hoping that he will not be too surprised when he sees someone on the other side of the board.

I have always wanted to talk about the 40k live ammunition projectile weapon, which is still very common in the 40k universe.

That's stump guns, automatic guns, and shotguns.

Logging guns include stubbing guns and heavy logging guns

The former can be understood as those large-bore pistols used for hunting, such as the M500, a pistol that fires .500-inch bullets

The latter can be understood as the 40k version of light and heavy machine guns from ancient times to the present. For example, the heavy logging gun used by the rebels in the siege of Vraks is very similar to MG42

And automatic pistols and automatic guns can be compared to the remaining small and medium-caliber firearms, which are similar to the present, and the principle is similar, but it is worth mentioning that they use caseless bullets

G11 is ecstatic

Volume 36 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Moving Cities

After checking their own warehouse, Siegel and his party returned to the shuttle, ready to go to the capital of Sintila, the hive Sibelius.

A group of them sat on the shuttle and traveled through the atmosphere of Sintila. Sibelius and Tarsus are located on two continents of the planet, Tarsus is located in the desert of the equator, and Sibelius Sri Lanka is located in the northern temperate continent.

"What's that?" Liz looked at the scenery outside through the porthole of the shuttle. On the surface, a huge slow-moving shadow caught her attention.

Her words attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked out through the porthole. Skadi remained expressionless, but her slightly tilted neck revealed her curiosity.

Among the members of Siegel's dynasty, Liz and the deep-sea hunters have never been to Cintila, while Cassia, Mel, and Remuule have all been to Cintila.

"That's Ambrun, a hive city built on a mobile platform, the most peculiar landscape on Sintila." Cassia rarely left the navigation spire and followed the crowd, and finally she no longer saw The chaotic scene of the subspace, but a scene that can be captured with her ordinary eyes.

She introduces the mobile city to Liz and Skadi.This nest of Ambrun was built to serve this mobile platform, and this mobile platform carried Ambrun on the main continent of Sintila.

"This machine is very old. It is almost certain that it existed on Sintila when the empire first colonized the Calixis sector." Meier also added, "It is certain that it is completely The creation of mankind in ancient times, the God of Myriad Machines is above, seeing such a beautiful mechanical creation, who can not surrender to the mighty power of the machine."

This platform can mine all industrial raw materials. Its head has a huge drill bit that can collect all kinds of ores. These ores will be processed into metal alloys, and some workers will specially pick the hidden gem crystals beside the conveyor belt.

These gem crystals will be sent to the gem cutting workshops of the residents of Ambron, some will be processed into jewelry, and others will become crystal components in laser weapons.

The residents on the edge of the platform are engaged in the collection of another kind of raw material. Thousands of pipelines laid down along the edge of the city go deep into the ground to extract the crude oil stored in the ground.These pipelines are controlled by workers manipulating the chains at high places, and they will fall from the city if they are not careful.

The refinery in the hive capital will process the crude oil into promethium fuel, some of which will be used as energy for the city's operation, and the rest will be handed over to the hive capital Sibelius and another city called "Gunmetal City" along with other raw materials. (It is also translated as Iron Ash City).

In the belly of the machine is Ambron's lower nest.In Siegel's view, this is probably the most suitable environment for living in the lower nest. The building structure of the lower nest is crumbling. Every day, houses are thrown down or a large structure is smashed by hills and peaks.

Gunmetal City is a small hive city with a population of only 40 billion. She is located on a volcano in the mainland, and the bottom of the hive city is deeply buried in the crater.

As the name suggests, it is an industrial production complex in Sintila. A large number of furnaces are built in this city, and countless military supplies are produced here, or they are handed over to the empire as tithe taxes, or sold to other planetary defense forces as commodities. .

And firearms have also become an important decoration for the local residents. They are as martial as the name of the city. Gunfights are a veritable entertainment in this city.

There are dedicated venues for the sport, with ballistic screens installed around the spectator stands, and those short-lived bottom and middle nesters will choose to play the sport as a shooter and compete in the arena.Nobles would also hire prestigious gunslingers to fight in well-decorated areas.

This makes the people of Bottomhive and gangs flock to firearms, because such things can really bring great wealth.

These cities sound absurd, which leads to a problem. Although they are not as good as those in the dead world, Sintila's soldiers look not bad, and the rich world and intricate noble relations make Sintila's fusiliers They can get the best equipment and the fastest support.

Then the reason for their flying seems obvious, Siegel smiled secretly, and he put his head against the porthole, from this angle, he could see the increasingly obvious shadows in the distance.

The shuttle gradually slowed down its speed. In front of everyone, a huge hive appeared in front of everyone. Its body was so huge. According to Father Mel's narration, this huge hive was 8000 kilometers long. Wide, and it is still expanding, this is Sibelius, the capital of Sintila.

The huge multi-layered skirts of the hive city touch the coastline at the edge of the continent, and the towering cliffs below are the raging waters. In the stormy season, the waves smashed against the black granite rocks.On the huge column hanging not far from the coastline, the Qing Palace is located here, and the headquarters of various departments in the Calixis star area are located here, as is the palace of the governor of the star area, Hakos.

The shuttle continued to move forward, and they would soon arrive at the landing point, and the limestone fortress on the hive capital became more and more conspicuous. This purple-black slender stone tower is the highest point of Sibelius, and it is also the highest point on Sintila. In the headquarters of the astropaths, there is an astronomy choir composed of six transcendent astropaths, all of whom are the most powerful astropaths in the Calixis sector.

The shuttle had landed, and Siegel and members of his dynasty stepped off the shuttle to get a closer look at the city.The pursuit of art by the nobles of Sintila can be seen from the nest capital Sibelius.Stone statues, frescoes, pillars, and mosaics adorn every surface of hive buildings.

Every building on the spire of the hive capital can be called a spectacle built by a master, even in the middle hive and even the lower hive are composed of statues and temples that fell a long time ago and once symbolized wealth and power.The inhabitants of Middlenest live in crumbling tenements built within mansions and churches, commuting to work each day from avenues of fallen statues.And those lower-hive dwellers live in buried huts built into the eyes of gigantic statues, or clustered around the shattered columns of fallen temples.

It sounds like Sintila is at risk of being corrupted by Slaanesh. In fact, many worlds in the empire are at risk of being corrupted by the four gods. The indescribably terrifying military strength of the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy, and the pervasive surveillance of the Tribunal ensure that These worlds are immune to corruption.

Talk about live firearms and laser firearms.

Whether in the rules or in the background, regardless of salvo, live ammunition firearms and laser firearms have similar killing effects. The difference between them is mainly in the way of damage: live ammunition firearms generally have impact damage, and a few have cutting damage, while laser firearms Guns deal energy damage.

There are many reasons why the Imperial Guard use lasguns instead of live firearms, among them the issue of laser salvo damage, among many other considerations.

I mention this to say that live firearms also have an incomparable advantage over lasguns, making them popular among Imperial agents.

It is the expandability of live ammunition firearms. She can use special ammunition to achieve the effect she wants, such as armor-piercing, flesh wounds, non-lethal, and anesthesia ammunition.

And the laser usually only has normal, overload, higher overload and battery blasting, this kind of difference.

Volume 37 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Servant Nun

Sibelius, the hive capital, is not only the power center of Cintila, but also the power center of the Calixis sector, not only the nobles of Cintila, but also the nobles of other planets in the Calixis sector. Buy your own estate at the apex of Hive Sibelius.

In fact, whatever prejudices one may have about Sintila when one walks down the street where Sibelius went to his last nest, will be dispelled by the sight before him.

Seeing the artistic attainments and pursuits of the nobles of Sintila, one will understand where the pride of the dude officers in the Imperial Guard comes from.

Every aristocratic manor has a completely different artistic style, ranging from chilling fortresses to gilded entertainment palaces.Pure white marble, green turquoise or building materials of various colors from other planets have been transformed into magnificent and luxurious manors under the master's hand, with domes, corridor windows, stone columns, arches, and minarets in various styles. The architectural designs of all can be found in the upper nest.

The competition of different artistic styles does not make the city cluttered. On the contrary, it does reflect that beauty can coexist.

On the streets, local law enforcers wore green uniforms to provide legal services to the nobles in the upper nest.The nobles in the upper nest wear extravagant and exotic clothes to show their taste.In Sibelius, these aristocrats have two major hobbies, one is to build their own manor along the spiers of the hive capital, and the other is to build a museum.

In order to show their aristocratic heritage, these people are keen to collect any collectible items and store them in their family museums, from family heirlooms to living alien monsters, ancient human creations to alien artworks.

If these cannot satisfy their desire to collect, then they will try to collect heretical items and even Halo artifacts, and finally bury their family here.

The nobles lived a luxurious life every day, such as balls and salons, this kind of luxury and depravity that escaped from the bones almost assimilated Siegel, but his humanity and sense of mission that had not been obliterated by the world at that time He pulled himself back from the brink.

It was also the beginning of his pilgrimage.

When Siegel and his party got off from several cars, they stood at the gate of a manor. Compared with the manor they saw along the way, the manor was a little smaller. The main body was a three-story castle building, made of pure white Made of high-quality marble, there are two cylindrical towers at the front of the castle, and the overall decoration is simpler than other manors, only the double-headed eagle logo of the empire and the frost flower logo of the Foster family.

The pointed arches of the manor have patchwork of small spiers and flame-like attic windows, and the buttresses on the outer walls fall from the roof to the ground along the intervals between the colorful French windows of the main building.The stained glass windows are painted with legends of the state religion, most of which are saints of the state religion.

Under the sunlight, the pictures on the windows are particularly dazzling.

The courtyard in front of the building has a rather delicate courtyard. The green vegetation is simply trimmed neatly. Standing at the door, you can smell the fragrance of the plants in the courtyard.

The plants here were harvested from a transaction between him and the Ark Spirit Race. He felt that these plants had no risk of being infected by chaos, so he decisively used them in this courtyard.

Standing at the door, he could see the maids walking through the courtyard, wearing traditional maid costumes that fit Siegel's impression.

"Lord Foster, I forgot to tell you in the car, welcome back." Beside Siegel, another woman in a maid outfit bowed her head to Siegel.

Siegel looked at the woman beside her. Her maid outfit was no different from that worn by the maids in the courtyard. It was a black one-piece dress with a white collar, a white apron with ruffles, and a ribbon at the neckline tied into a standard bowknot. , with a mark of purity pinned to his waist, and brown high boots under his feet.

She has long blond hair, and the somewhat fierce hanging eyes add a heroic look to her pretty face.If you don't take into account the fleur-de-lis emblem embroidered on the sleeve of her long dress, the picture is full of two-dimensional sweetness.

Yes, she is a nun.

"Thank you, Sandory." But obviously, Siegel couldn't have anything to do with her like in the game. Sandory is a slave nun.

The Sisters of the Empire are not just Bomb Girls, she is also a huge Imperial Department, and the non-combat occupations include Medical Sisters and Servant Sisters.

Medical nuns can be taken literally.The duty of the Servant Sisters is to serve the imperial noble families as advisors, stewards, consuls and attendants.They are excellent stewards and diplomats, responsible for brokering alliances, deals, and marriages between different nobles, and using their superb diplomatic skills to ensure peace between rival houses, thereby ensuring that the imperial world does not suffer civil strife.

Almost all the nobles welcome the arrival of the slave nuns, because their abilities are really outstanding.Becoming a Servant Sister is trained in critical thinking, etiquette, interplanetary commerce, and commercial economics, in addition to focusing on devotional study and service.

After finishing their studies, they will be sent to the homes of various nobles or trade associations. This is a mutually beneficial job. The nobles get an excellent housekeeper, and the nuns will use this method to ensure the interests of the nobles and the empire. Alignment of interests.

The servant nuns are also concerned about the blood relationship of the nobles, and they will help the imperial nobles clarify their blood relationship, so as to avoid the tragedy of mutants caused by inbreeding marriages.According to rumors, the Inquisition seems to have vague ties to them due to their familiarity with the family affairs and various secrets of the imperial nobles.

The Foster family, as a rogue merchant dynasty and a member of the ruling class of Cintila, can also accept the services of slave nuns. Originally, the Foster family had three slave nuns who were in charge of various family affairs.

And now, as far as Siegel knows so far, Dawn Abbey has sent a large number of slave nuns to the Foster family.They almost took over most of the management work of the Foster family, such as factory management, property purchase and business negotiations, and even marriage work in remote branches of the family.

The number of nuns in the Foster family may be second only to the planetary governor, and Siegel has not figured out what the Dawn Monastery is going to do until now.In fact, when Siegel returned from the pilgrimage, the original three slave nuns in the family had long since disappeared. An industry to ensure the normal development of the family.

Since then, every year, some attendant nuns have been sent by the Abbey of Dawn to the Foster family to manage the growing property.

Siegel speculated that it might be due to his good relationship with the state religion and the sparse population of the Foster family.Let the nuns decide to send slaves to the nuns to keep the family running.

Including Siegel, most of the nobles trust the work of these nuns, because their fanatical belief in the state religion makes them have little material requirements.As long as the nobles guarantee their loyalty to the empire, they will not have conflicts of interest with them, and they will tolerate some "presumptuous" behaviors of the imperial nobles.

"Is anyone at home?" Siegel asked casually when some distant relatives or friends from the family would come over to play the autumn breeze from time to time.

"Master Ilse is at home."

Volume 38 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Iles

Siegel glanced at Sandolaxi with some surprise, and nodded with certainty at her.

"You help me arrange all the members of the dynasty first, and I'll go see Ils." Siegel could hardly hide the lightness and relaxation in his tone, and he said to Sanduo Laixi: "Tomorrow we will talk about the family business things."

Then he looked at the members of his dynasty and said, "I'm going to meet someone, and I'll see you at dinner time, and enjoy my vacation during this time."

After speaking, Siegel walked into the manor.

-

Entering the interior of the castle, he threw his coat to the servant casually, and Siegel ran up to the second floor of the castle in three steps and two steps. The crisp sound of his boots stepping on the floor echoed in the castle.
