Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

"I will consider it." Although the dress on her body became very inappropriate after the battle, after returning to the hive capital, Igrain still maintained her elegance, and the large suitcase was carried in front of her body , "It's not convenient for me to say goodbye to you like this, Siegel, may the emperor always bless you."

"You too." After speaking, Siegel sat back in the car, preparing to return to Foster's manor.

Igrain watched Siegel's vehicle leave, turned and returned to his family's manor.

She put the suitcase in her bedroom, and then bathed and groomed herself under the service of the servants. After regaining the demeanor of a noble lady, she returned to the bedroom again and carefully opened her suitcase.Put the neatly arranged clothes aside and button out the compartment under the box.

A silver-white rail rifle with an obvious sense of ancient technology appeared in the box. It was disassembled into various components, and there was a miniature energy core.She assembled it skillfully, and tried to take a few glances, her pink lips imitating the sound of a gunshot.

The firearm was loaded through the lever structure, and Igrain's right hand quickly opened and closed, and all the bullets in the magazine were ejected, as if he had emptied the entire magazine in a few seconds.

As if she had played enough, she turned the mechanism under the table, and the clothes on the back

The cabinet moved back and forth until a huge display wall appeared behind her. There were a lot of precious treasures hanging on the wall, all of which were lost by various nobles some time ago without exception.

Igrain hung the rail rifle in her hand on the wall, and she watched her achievements with a smile on her face. These were all her achievements.

Holy silver cross, finely crafted carapace, seal with mysterious characters, and a large number of alien items on it.

Egalia's Crystal Blade, Eldar Ranger Gauntlets, Needle Pistol, Dark Eldar's unique Whipblade and Alien Dagger.

Igrain has been clear about her mission since she was a child. She is destined to inherit her mother's great dynasty. She belongs to the starry sky. Like her mother, she is not interested in the noble dogs on the ground.After learning about Xingkong and her mother's deeds, she became very interested in the Eldar.

She even learned the Eldar language and the melee skills of the Eldar in private, and she often bought those Eldar items on the market.

This kind of behavior does not mean that she has a good impression of the Spirit Race, she just likes it simply. From the family records, she also has knowledge of life and death above the starry sky, but this does not prevent her from taking the wealth of the Spirit Race as her own. collection of goals.

When she became more and more proficient in the skills of those aliens, she began to try to put these things into practice.

When she first "handled" Marchenko's starry sky with ease using the skills she learned, she often used this method to exercise herself.

Almost every noble family of Sibelius has "visited" himself, and the Foster family is no exception.In other words, she had sneaked into Foster's house very early on, and their family's defense can be said to be non-existent. The family's secret room is full of books, and the things that can be taken away are some blessings of the state religion, or common Imperial creations.

Except for the design and carvings of the manor and the ornamental plants from foreign races in the yard, the Foster family is not at all like a family with a business license.

Strictly speaking, she didn't believe that the treasure house of the Foster family was just that, but since she didn't find it, she was indeed inferior to others.But she didn't waste the Foster's estate. Before Siegel came back, she often used the Foster's house as a stop in the middle of her itinerary.

That bitch "Hitt" was doing things in his own name. After Igrain found out that the other party was suspected of heresy, he was planning to find a helper. After all, the scene she saw in the bottom nest was too heretical, Siegel The appearance gave her a chance.

When she came to the hotel where Siegel was staying that night, she saw the innkeeper directing a few low-level wanderers to try to assassinate Siegel and his party.

The opponent was dealt with three times, five times and two times, and Siegel was awakened by the sound of fighting. At that time, it was obviously not an occasion to talk about things. Igrain could only leave temporarily under the situation of confrontation.

But the ritual of "Hitt" was about to start, and she had to take the initiative to stand up and stop the other party.

Fortunately, when she was dragging her life away in the sacristy of the Bottom Nest Church, Siegel arrived in time. To be honest, the scenes that day were indeed very impactful and made people feel quite uncomfortable.

Although at the end of the matter, she really wanted to have a word with Siegel, but the sudden appearance of the judge dispelled Igrain's thoughts. After all, she might be regarded as... a half-heretic?

Igrain wasn't sure, but she knew some Inquisitors would hate her actions.This is what she learned while searching for clues about her father.

In fact, she herself didn't know the identity of her biological father, whether it was her mother's dewy love or, as rumored, a judge.

If Siegel was there, he would definitely have a corresponding judgment. After all, as a noble lady, it is impossible for her to collect alien-related items so recklessly without a mysterious force behind her to protect her.

Igrein took out the simulated star map of the Marchenko family, turned the mechanism, and a projection of a starry sky appeared above the device. The starry sky rotated under Igrein's control, shrunk and then enlarged.

Dangers, terrors, challenges, opportunities, wealth, and treasures are all buried under the stars, and she has told herself countless times that she is ready.

But when someone decides to help her escape from the planet, she's a little less sure about it.

Don't ask why it's a lever rifle, I can only answer it's romance

Volume 81 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Next Stop Destination

Siegel's study.

The thick parchment documents and tomes on Siegel's desk buried him behind him. He finally confirmed the destination of his next adventure. The assassination of Bishop Savannah is still 4 years away.

Siegel wanted to arrive at Vraks before then, and he had been planning in Vraks for so long, so the development of the dynasty was restricted. Before the chaos before the siege of Vraks broke out, Siegel wanted to take back his own Years of investment and accrued interest.

Flax seems to be a wound of the Foster dynasty, and the funds of the dynasty continue to flow out of this wound. The price Siegel pays is to confirm how much his current identity can change for the empire.Can he save the remains of Leonis, the saint of the empire, from being desecrated?How much weaponry could he evacuate from Vraks' labyrinthine underground arsenal?

But until then, he must keep the dynasty afloat from being encumbered by his wayward actions in Vraks.Next, he may have to live in the expansion area for a considerable period of time, and he has enough time to choose the expedition he wants.

But at present, he needs to find an expedition that is relatively easy and can yield certain rewards as his first stop, which is a good sign for now.

He carefully compared the records of the family, the rumors among the rogue traders, and the information on the star map.It's not that he can't find the target now, but that there are too many targets.

When other Rogue Traders were still relying on rumors of unknown authenticity to deduce the location and value of the target, Siegel had already confirmed the galaxy where the rumors were located on the star map with the help of the Thinker Circuit, although still Don't know the value behind those rumors, but he's already far ahead of everyone else.

The area ruled by Egalia is a good place, and the Church of Kasbarica is very interested in the alien products there.Although it is in the realm of Winterfin, the rogue traders' exploration there is actually very limited.

The aliens of Egalia worship the labyrinth culture, and the labyrinth built by huge crystals can easily make the explorers get lost in it.Although they found xenos artifacts easily in the ruins of the xenos city, the truest mysteries hidden behind the labyrinth are still unknown.Both the Casbarica Church and the Mechanicus sect will pay a huge price for this.

Or simply, conquer a planet on a heretic world and plunder its resources. "On a barren planet, her planetary governor's treasury is always full." On the heretic stars, there are a large number of human survivors in the planet, where they established their own kingdoms and believed in strange religions.Those planets are the main areas for missionary activities, but there are also Rogue Traders who will choose to conquer those planets by force, snatching every material that can be exchanged for Throne Coins from the residents cleanly.

Siegel looked at the information and star map in front of him with his fingers crossed. Each of these options looked similar, and each looked a little different.

……

The chamber of the Foster family.

Siegel looked at the main members of his dynasty and started a routine discussion before each expedition.

After the previous exchanges, Siegel has confirmed that the Golden Journey is ready for the next expedition at any time, and the sailors recruited in Sintila have also been trained.

However, in view of the loss of the deep-sea hunters, Siegel needs to go to the planet Agor to recruit a certain number of deep-sea hunter members before heading to the roaming port.

After basically confirming the situation of his team, Siegel announced the destination of their next expedition.

"Our next expedition is in Zays."

The thinker array behind Siegel projects Zais' position on the star map.

"This is a war world in the stars of heresy. She is located in the depths of the expanded area. We can try other expeditions we want to conduct along the way, searching for galaxies along the way, but our final destination is here, Zais."

Siegel said that since he couldn’t think of the initial goal, he wanted to think of the last goal. A living person cannot be suffocated by urine. “From the known information, Zais is a war world, and the empire has established a preliminary foundation there. Colonization, and the rest, we don't know anything about it."

"But World of War always has business to do." Mel helped Siegel add his reasons.

Siegel nodded and continued: "That's right, and as a world of human remnants, there may also be buried information fragments of human technology. If Zais is brought under the rule of the empire and converted to the state religion , the dynasty can infiltrate the influence of Zays and get enough benefits from it."

Rogue Traders are in the expanded area, and their dynasty often controls several planets, and even habitable planets in sub-star areas, but they rarely rule a planet directly, and they hand over the governance of the planet to the representatives of the dynasty, and at the same time Clerks from the Ministry of the Interior will arrive on the planet to monitor and ensure that the colony's taxes are handed in truthfully.

When the colony grows to a sufficient size, the planet will be brought under the rule of the Empire, and a new Colonial Governor will be appointed by the Ministry of the Interior.But the power of the Rogue Merchant Dynasty has been deeply rooted on this planet. The dynasty has got rid of the cost of governing the planet, and can extract every throne coin on the planet with all its strength.

There are very few Rogue Traders who are directly appointed as Planetary Governors. The last Rogue Trader who achieved such an achievement was the legendary Rogue Trader Harlock. Siegel has no interest in being the Governor of Colonies or even the Governor of Planets. The Foster Dynasty currently has enough fixed assets , There is simply not enough working capital to support the development of a colony.

"If you have any doubts, you can speak up now."

"How long will our operation last?" Skadi asked.

"I don't know, but it won't be shorter than two years." Siegel originally wanted to say three years, but he felt a little too unconfident to say so. He felt that two years should be enough for this exploration. time, when returning to Sintila again, you can receive 3 cruisers in one go.After completing the preparations, Siegel can proceed to Vraks.

"What about the pilot academy?" Gloria has been negotiating with the Calixis fleet for the past few days, poaching active and retired pilots from them, and letting them become the academy's flight instructors, but the executive principal of the flight academy , she knew that Siegel planned to recruit a heavyweight from the Obscure Starfield Fleet to take this position.

"I'll ask Ils and Sandolaxi to handle the rest of the affairs on Cintila, and I've given Ils the letter of introduction from Hucks."

"Is there anything else we haven't finished? Get it all done before you're ready to leave."

Volume 82 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Full Gas!Set off!

Sintila, orbital airport.

The renovated Golden Journey is quietly mooring at the orbital airport above Sintila. The sailors and porters began to transport various supplies to the cabin along the cargo channel.

Siegel still habitually stood on the high platform passage above the boarding entrance, calmly watching the servants and sailors below trying to transport supplies into the cabin of the starship.

He was no longer wearing the clothes of the hive nobles, but changed back to the heavy captain's coat and put on the cloak made of the beast.There is an extra silver necklace around his neck, and the pendant of the necklace is the Frost coat of arms of the Foster family; this necklace was given to Siegel by Ilse, and it has no other functions.

The ship's high-level command staff and officers at all levels have entered the upper deck of the ship, and Siegel also asked the servants to store their belongings in the material warehouse of the captain's dome, including several boxes of Katarina White. For wine, Eugene sent part of the wine to his manor again after sobering up, and this time Siegel did not refuse his kindness again.

As for other supplies needed for the expedition on board, many of them were abandoned in the previous renovation and now need to be replenished in the cabin, such as the herd of Glocks, the soil base for planting, plant seeds and storage. The counted corpse starch, these things will be put into the lower storey, and the sailors on the lower decks live with these things.

Other materials such as promethium, weapons and ammunition, emergency oxygen candles, and various exploration equipment will be stored in special warehouses. The management of the warehouses is the responsibility of low-level officers and mechanical priests. A small amount of common military vehicles are also stored in the warehouse.

In addition, there are a large number of mosaics stored in the warehouse. As for the second best, after the exploration begins for a while, the sailors on the lower deck will start brewing themselves.

Sugar cubes made by high pressure, various edible spices, a large amount of tobacco, compressed tea and coffee powder are also necessary supplies on board; fresh meat, vegetables, etc. are stored in the freezer cabin to satisfy the officers. needed supplies.

Needless to say, medical items, in addition to countless types of various drugs, various cyber implants and servant transformation materials are also included in medical supplies for management.

"I used to read about the preparations for the starship before departure in books, but I found out that it is so troublesome after reading it today." Igrein stood beside Siegel. Her clothes were far less exaggerated than Siegel's. A tight-fitting fiber armor, with a layer of carapace on the chest.

She didn't carry any weapons other than a dueling pistol pinned to her waist, but Siegel had no doubt that the woman beside her was always fully armed.

"You should have stayed on a starship for a while when you were a child." Siegel chatted with Igrain casually. She and a team of armed Armengardians boarded the Golden Journey. She will be with herself Leave Sintila and go to Port Wandering.

When they arrive at the port of roaming, the two will separate.Igrain will go to the Wandering Port to contact the manager of the Armengard Dynasty, and wait for her mother's ship to return to the Wandering Port; while Siegel and the others will complete the final preparations at the Wandering Port and then head to the expansion area.

"I was too young at the time, and I can only recall some details." Igrain's tone fluctuated a bit, and it was obvious that her mood fluctuated.

"You seem to be...a little nervous?!" Siegel didn't turn his head to look at the other party, he thoughtfully gave the lady a bit of dignity.

"No, it's excitement, excitement, and desire." Obviously, Igrain didn't appreciate it very much, and she bluntly changed the topic to other places, "I have dreamed of this moment many times, but I have never dreamed of it. You took me off this planet, so when do we go?"

"I still have a batch of goods that haven't been delivered, and I still need to wait." Siegel simply answered Igrein's question.

"Goods? Does Sintila have any specialties? Corrupt nobles?"

"Don't be like this, anyway, you are also a Sintila, and you will hurt the heart of this planet." Siegel couldn't hold back his smile. The highly industrialized Hive City is hard to impress people in terms of special products. The impression that those industrial products are often only the insiders know their value.

"Sibelius' ship components, Gunmetal City's guns, Ambron's metal ingots and gems, as for Tarsus below us... the throne coin is her specialty. Keep a keen sense of smell in the sea of ​​stars, You must at least know which things are valuable." A golden throne coin appeared in Siegel's left hand, dancing back and forth between his mechanical fingers, "Of course, there is one thing that is often difficult to measure by value."

"what?"

"Humanity. I can't teach you anything about this, but your mother is indeed a master at managing connections. I don't mean to belittle it in the slightest."

A team of sailors who were obviously military personnel walked into the cabin through the boarding port. They were recruited by Siegel from several regiments funded by the family. There were about 4000 people, some of whom were veterans of the 94th regiment, and the rest They are all newcomers recruited in this expansion, but they have all undergone sufficient training.

They carried automatic guns and shotguns customized by Siegel from Gunmetal City, as well as melee weapons such as bayonets and axes. Officers and veterans were equipped with carapace, and the rest of the soldiers were guards' bulletproof armor.

Since the destination this time is a world of war, Siegel has increased the proportion of armed sailors. After they set off, they will divert to Agor, where they will replenish the team of deep-sea hunters. After everything is over, his ship will have A full regiment of armed sailors.

If the other sailors are simply armed, then Siegel can pull nearly 2 armed forces from the ship.Rogue Traders often don't need much army power to conquer a planet, and often a round of orbital bombing will make the forces on the ground recognize the power gap between each other.

But Zays is different. Siegel doesn't know the specific situation of Zays, but so far no Rogue Trader has controlled Zays, which is enough to explain the problem.

"Captain," Gloria's voice came from Siegel's communication beads, "The cargo has arrived."

The landing port of the Golden Journey is only enough for the Star Shark assault boats to carry out gang-hopping operations, but Siegel still bought some aircraft, the Calixis Fury Fighter and the Starhawk bomber.He hopes to train a group of ground crew sailors in advance on the lunar level. After the golden ship enters service, these sailors can be seamlessly transferred to the landing port of the golden ship.

"Let everyone board the ship, and after all the goods are loaded, we are ready to go."

Volume 83 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Agor on the Bite of the Tongue

When Siegel and his party arrived in Agor, it was already a week later.

They stopped above the blue-black planet, and all the deep-sea hunters looked obsessively at the planet below through the portholes. Most of the deep-sea hunters that Siegel recruited from here ended up staying in the cold deep space.

Although when they became armed sailors, they had already anticipated their own ending, and the high salary on the ship was essentially their life money, but when they appeared in the sky above their hometown again, some people still couldn't help crying .

Agor, an ocean world located in the Malfian sub-sector, is also a food world. She provides food supplies for most of the planets in the Malfian sub-sector.

From space, 90% of the entire planet of Agor is composed of oceans. Only in the northern hemisphere is there an area that can barely be called a continent, and all the Agor people live there.

Just like the Malfis believed that the capital of the Calixis sector should belong to them, the Agors were also competing with Spetoris for who would be the number one fishermanship in the Calixis sector.

The entire ocean crops in Agor are controlled by a kind of hive will, but after research by biological sages, they think that this kind of hive will is very low-level, except that marine creatures are more aggressive, it will not affect the Colonial work above Agor.

When the first batch of imperial colonists landed on Agor, they knew what the so-called aggressiveness was.If it weren't for the fact that the marine life here has great food value for the empire, Agor should be classified as a world of death rather than a world of food.

The marine organisms here are rich in nutrients, and even the "Ming marks" everywhere can be used as an additive to the starch of the corpse after detoxification treatment to increase the protein and other nutrients inside.

Siegel generously gave the deep-sea hunters a week off. At the same time, Gloria also had to use her relationship with the local PDF to recruit new soldiers for the dynasty.

……

It was not convenient for Siegel to appear in Agor's PDF command, and his behavior of poaching the trio of deep-sea hunters really annoyed the local PDF commander.He and Igrein looked at the raging water on the embankment by the sea. The sea water in Agel was completely different from the ocean in his impression. Although there was no industrial pollution from the hive city, the ocean here was still slightly black.

That is the color of the sea that is flooded with sea marks. Sea marks are also at the bottom of the food chain among marine organisms. In a sense, this kind of algae that can reproduce rapidly feeds the entire planet.

Siegel found a good place, a towering rock platform, the sea below should be deep enough, and there should be a lot of goods inside.

He erected the temporarily purchased fishing gear on the platform.Catching marine life in Agor is hardly called fishing, they prefer to be called hunting.Thanks to the aggressiveness of the marine life here, they only need to drive the boat to the sea, leaving enough space for fighting, and the marine life will climb onto the boat and attack the sailors.fighting!fight!The corpses were thrown into the cabin, and the servants put them away in categories according to the quality of the corpses.

The Agors have honed their combat skills since childhood, pursuing one-hit kills for marine life and leaving as complete a body as possible.The shattered corpse of an enemy is considered a shame in Agor's culture.
