Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

Thanks to the "The Bizarre Adventure of the Supreme Commander" chapter, I like a lot of ideas in that book.

Volume 90 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Rogue Traders...

Wandering Port, the meeting room on the top command deck.

If a rogue trader can be regarded as a small success to what extent, then when a rogue trader can attend today's occasion, it means that he is more or less a figure in the Cronus expansion area.

The press conference for the conquest of Karadwar was held here. If the data of the Rogue Trader Dynasty such as economy, reputation, and military strength were counted separately like in the game, all those who attended this meeting were those whose military strength ranked first in the expansion area. The number one dynasty.

Here I would like to emphasize again that this so-called "ranking" only refers to the internal ranking of Rogue Traders, not to mention all kinds of aliens and heresies, this ranking does not even include other imperial forces.

Siegel led Gloria and Skadi to the meeting, and he sat in the seat marked with his name in the conference room.He looked around. Winterscale, Kurda, Armengard, Bastille, Gerrit, Lee, and Foster are basically the merchants who are active in the Kronos expansion area with high military strength. Ronin dynasty armed force.

The Marchenko dynasty is mainly active in the empire of the Calixis sector, so that big guy did not appear at the meeting.

To be honest, Siegel is very curious about who the host of this meeting will be. If someone wants their group to sit here quietly for a meeting, he had better be very, very powerful.

Caligos Winterfin and Aspis Kulda had been arguing non-stop since they came in, and they almost scolded each other directly for "Emperor's Egg". The dynasty guards behind them never left The handle of the knife at the waist, the host of the meeting is quite familiar with the situation of the rogue traders, and the two of them are arranged on both sides of the round table, which ensures the safety of Aspis well.

But it also spread the quarrel between the two of them on a larger scale, with Caligos' loud voice and Aspis's sharp and aggressive voice filling the room.

[So why not put the two of them together? ] Siegel turned a deaf ear to the sarcasm of the two of them. On the contrary, he thought about the scene where they were sitting together, and thought for a while that it should be Caligos Wushuang who killed the entire Aspis team.

Caligos is an extremely burly male with frightening physicality.As everyone said, he is a person who is easily dominated by emotions.One wrong word could send the otherwise genial Wintergale into a rage, tearing a living man to shreds at the slightest provocation.

He is in this state now, and Siegel saw that the blood vessels on Caligos' forehead were about to burst.But Caligos can't do anything to Aspis in Port Wandering either.

The most famous deed of Caligos is that he personally led a team to kill the orc rogue captain Nagraz da Buna.In fact, there is another deed that few people believe because it is too shocking.

There is a saying in the port of foot to satirize those who spread false legends: "Even a man like Winterfin (Kaligos) cannot rely on two arms and an ax to subdue an enemy wearing power armor" .But in Siegel's view, this sentence is more of a satire on those who rely on their shallow knowledge to determine the truth of the story in the port.

Because Siegel, including everyone here, knows that Caligos can indeed do this.Wearing a light carapace and holding a power ax, Caligos beat a captain in power armor against the wall.

Aspith's record is lackluster in comparison, and she is best known for her two deeds: one is the story of how she inherited the dynasty after imprisoning all her brothers and sisters, and the other is how Caligos took There was nothing this woman could do, and she was almost cornered.

As a result, the higher the reputation of Caligos, the higher the reputation of Aspis. Even at 40k, people still enjoy stacking battle boxes.

Then he continued to look at the others present.

Ofe Armengard, Admiral Bastille VII, Abel Grit and Siegel Foster, these four dynasties can be regarded as the second echelon of the military strength of the Rogue Traders in the expanded area. Still did not consider the economic level of the dynasty itself.

Siegel paused behind Ofe Armengard for a while, and Igrain stood behind Ofe.Offie arrived at the Port of Roaming last night, and Igrain also saw her mother, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Even now, her mother is still holding her hand and talking non-stop.

Offee still wears the power sword she captured from the elf, which she calls the Mourning Blade, and even Siegel has to admit that the other party's sword skills are comparable to her own.

Well, actually a little bit higher.

She was immersed in the joy of being reunited with her daughter, and even Aspis's quarrel with guns and clubs just now did not anger this straightforward woman.

Abel Great is a man with a sinister face, but he is not the leader of the Great Dynasty.The business license is controlled by other people, and Abel, as a branch of the family, is developing his family's power in the expanded area.His face has countless scars, and even the facial nerves are affected, which makes him look fierce no matter whether he speaks or looks. His right eye was blinded and replaced with a mechanical prosthetic eye.

Abel's weapons are two family powered short swords.He often claims that he is good at fighting, but everyone here knows that his fighting level can only be said to be able to see, which is better than not being able to see Bastille at all.Yes, there are three women among the dynastic leaders here, and neither he nor Bastille can beat any of them, and they are even inferior to some dynastic leaders who did not appear on this occasion.

Admiral Bastille VII... His flagship is not bad, too.

As for the Li family, strictly speaking, there is a gap between the military power of the Li family and the other strengths present here.Mrs. Sun Li can sit in this position mainly because of her comprehensive strength. She is stronger than Jongkun Saul in military strength, and compared with Yang Ke Scourge, her economic strength is stronger than the other party, so she appears in this Location.

Although the military strength is the weakest among the seven dynasties, the Li family has its own assets in dozens of agricultural worlds and controls a part of the food trade in the Calixis sector.Mrs. Sun Li's personal strength is also very strong, and her swordsmanship is especially commensurate with her name.

Mrs. Sun Li was wearing a light emerald-colored power armor, and she carried an ancient technology power sword on her waist.Siegel paid a little attention to the adjutant behind her, a woman with short black hair at the ears, who looked quite capable, with a silk flower on her neckline.Even in this market-like meeting room made by Caligos and Aspiss, she behaves very well, and looks like she has some naval background.

The quarrel in the room continued, but Siegel keenly noticed that the metal door connecting the other cabins on the other side of the conference room was opened.

Volume 91 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Sessions

The armed sailors in the meeting room interrupted the quarrel between Caligos and Aspis, and all the rogue traders present were staring at the man who had just appeared in the meeting room.

Even Caligos began to hold back his temper, and Aspis stopped his mean mouth.Everyone here is very familiar with him. He is wearing a navy general uniform, and his collar badge shows his military rank and identity. Admiral Nathaniel Horn, the supreme commander of the Cronus fleet, is also Victoria's elder brother.

Even Caligos and Aspis have to give Nathaniel enough face, as a naval fleet to maintain the stability of the area between the expansion area and the Calixis sector, many dynasty trade routes need Support and maintenance of the Kronos fleet.

Nathaniel looked around, forced a little smile on his serious face, and said to the rogue traders present: "Mrs. Morelle, the judge, invited me to attend the meeting. She thinks that I have more contacts with you. .Some things are easier to communicate when I’m present, and I thought about it for a while, so I’m here.”

Hearing what he said, only the rogue traders present noticed the judge beside him, Mrs. Odessa Morelle, the judge of the Religion against Foreigners. Many rogue traders present had dealt with her before. Another alien judge who was active in Port Wandering, Odessa, seemed much more relaxed.She still respects the rights granted by the trading license to the rogues to trade with aliens.

"The Tribunal has received definite news that Karadevar has found an evil planet belonging to him in the cauldron sub-sector in the expanded area, and is performing evil rituals there. I have called everyone this time to hope that you can Caladvar, this heretic active in the Expanse, is wiped out!"

Servo skulls floated around the meeting room, constantly recording the contents of the meeting.The acolyte handed a document to the rogue traders present.

Siegel briefly flipped through the contents of the two-page document, which mainly contained the information about Karadevar recorded by the trial court.

Karadvar, a cult of Chaos known as the Faceless Lord, rules over the most active group of Chaos Marauders in the Kronos Expanse.

He caused massacres in various worlds and arranged evil chaos rituals. His power continued to grow over time, and more and more traitors chose to join the banner of Karadevar.

"There is no place for the planet of Karadvar!" Bastille shouted loudly after looking at it wholeheartedly.

"If we find the location of Caradeval, it is not you who are calling now, but the Cronus fleet." Odessa choked Bastille back with a word.

Siegel frowned and looked at the document. There was no specific information about the planet where Karadevar was located. Location.

But no matter what kind of information or speculation, it may cause the rogue traders present to separate their forces, which undoubtedly gave Karadevar an opportunity.

Siegel doesn't care, he only has one ship here, but it is difficult for the squadrons of the other Rogue Traders to resist the attack of Karadevar.

"Does the trial court have any information about the ceremony prepared by Karadeval?" Ofi asked proactively.

"Only the divination results of the Emperor's Tarot. Judging from the results of the divination, the ceremony he is planning is very evil and will cause extremely dangerous evil to the empire. I don't know, and I don't want to know where this heretic who should be sent to the stake is. Prepare something. I just know that we have to stop him." Odessa watched the expressions of the rogue traders become a little dignified, and she said immediately: "But there are no clues about the location of Karadevar. It is said that the place is There are some sailors and captains who escaped from Karard in the port, if you can get information from them, you may be able to find out where Karard is."

"About the fact that Karad has a colony and is performing an evil ritual..." Siegel asked after thinking for a while, "Is the source reliable?"

"Reliable, but the acolyte who came back from the summons has gone completely mad." Odessa simply said a word, and Siegel probably appeared that inhuman form tortured by the power of the subspace.

"This mission, depending on how you complete it, the Tribunal will give you different rewards. In short, even if you just stop Karad's evil ritual, you will have a one-year franchise license."

Speaking of rewards, the Rogue Traders finally got a little excited, and the Tribunal did indeed prepare a generous reward for this matter.

The Tribunal already knew the virtues of the Rogue Traders, and their so-called "rewards" were designed as simple and crude as possible, as direct as possible. Only the dynasty that completed the task in the end was eligible to receive the rewards.

This may lead to internal friction among the Rogue Traders, but in fact, it is normal for the Rogue Traders to compete.This is also the consideration behind the Tribunal finding the rogue traders present here. Only these rogue traders still have enough strength to complete this task after competing with each other.

"In addition, according to the news from the acolytes of the Mechanicus, it is said that there are technical heretics who went to serve under Karard. It is very likely that this ceremony is the work of those Black Mechanicists. You should pay attention to this after entering the expanded area. point."

Odessa added the last point, and then Nathaniel said again: "There are a lot of imperial interests in the expansion area, and the chaos marauders have always been a threat to the imperial interests. If you have any problems that cannot be resolved in this operation , you can return to contact the Cronus fleet, starting a week later, there will be an expeditionary fleet composed of battlecruisers and cruisers on duty every day in the roaming port."

"After the news is verified, the fleet will sail with you in order to completely deal with the traitor Karadevar!" Nathaniel said forcefully.In some rumors, Karadevar has a murky past with the Imperial Navy.Whether this incident is true or not, besides, just spreading this incident is enough to make an imperial navy general very angry.

Siegel looked at Callard's information. Although he only had a cruiser on Golden Journey and his arsenal was a little weak, the full regiment of armed sailors in his hand was a considerable force.If there is no way to solve the whole thing in the universe, it should be a good choice to forcibly airborne to penetrate to the target location and forcibly interrupt the ceremony.

Volume 92 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] The Emperor's Tarot and Armengard

After the meeting ended, the Rogue Traders left the conference room in batches.Different from the confidence and impassionedness at the meeting, the Odessa judge looked solemnly at the backs of these rogue traders as they left.She had just avoided the content of the Emperor's Tarot divination with ingenious language skills.

Reversed Emperor, Reversed Pilgrim 13, Reversed Blade 8, Reversed Distorted Traitor, Reversed Star 7, Reversed Demon.

"Demons are turmoil and foreign objects are breeding. There is a metaphor behind this subspace fluctuation. Some people are seeking greater power to pray to the subspace. It is no surprise that they will eventually target the empire."

Apparently, the Fallen within the Expansion were plotting... no... they were already carrying out a bigger conspiracy, and she had to stop it from happening.

Odessa sent his acolytes to the port of foot to inquire about the news: Karadvar's recent actions have been extremely rampant, and he has caused massacres in several imperial colonies in the cauldron region.

Regardless of whether he is the target predicted by the sorcerer or not, the unscrupulousness of the enemy of mankind is unacceptable to any judge of the order, but she needs more information to find this beast, Karadevar, and she cannot just Use the current information to mobilize the main forces of the empire.

So she thought of the Rogue Traders. These people are not only representatives of the interests of the empire in the expansion area, but also troublemakers, so it is a good thing to command them to explore the way.Their fleet strength can more or less stop Karadvar from continuing to cause carnage in the cauldron area

event, giving his acolytes enough time to find Karadvar's location.

She didn't trust Rogue Traders, never had.

The Inquisitor of Odessa has a small boat in the port, ready to set off for the Iron Hand's home planet at any time, as long as her acolyte finds out the exact location of Karadvar, she can ask for the Angel of Death's support to serve the Emperor. The enemy takes his wrath and punishment.

-

It is impossible to say that Siegel and the others have no complaints about this task, and there is no key content in the documents in Siegel's hands.

On the one hand, everyone gave General Nathaniel a face, and on the other hand, the trial court really gave too much this time, so everyone in the conference room pinched their noses and recognized it.They are used to many departments of the empire being wary of Rogue Traders to a certain extent, but as long as they don't default on rewards afterwards, Rogue Traders don't care.

Although everyone has not left Hong Kong yet, the competition has already begun.

"Hey! Siegel, do you want to come to my place to do something?" Caligos reached out to greet Siegel, and put an arm around his shoulders. Compared with Caligos, Siegel is considered handsome His figure was very thin, "I heard from my subordinates that you only brought your own flagship to Port Roaming. Would you like to come to me to lead a squadron of our family?"

"As for the remuneration, we can discuss it between us." The bodies of the two blocked the sight of the subordinates behind them, Siegel folded his arms around his chest, and the captain's coat blocked his hand movements.

"Forget it, Caligos, this operation is just a prelude to my deep space exploration. I thought I would try to do it if it was easy enough, but you see, the work of this operation Not only is the amount large, but it also requires a little luck to complete, I may stay at the port of arrival for a while, and then move towards the depths of the expanded area."

Boom.

Siegel felt the hand on his shoulder exert a sudden force, and his shoulder blade felt pain from the opponent's huge force. He had to press the plasma gun aimed at Caligos under the coat against the opponent. waist, let each other feel each other's "kind greetings".

"I don't know what's behind your kid." Caligos didn't seem to care, but he still relaxed the muscles in his arm, and then he changed the subject and asked: "Is their rumor true? of?"

"What rumor?"

"You go to church to confess every time you're pissed off."

"After all, no one can escort me to church to confess."

"Haha, I built a small church on the Emperor's Covenant, and there is a confession room specially prepared for you. I look forward to throwing you in with my own hands one day."

After finishing speaking, Caligos laughed and led his men away. According to the agreement, all of them will set sail in two days.

Siegel put the plasma gun back into the holster on his waist, and then faced the leader of another dynasty, Ofie Armengard.

"Long time no see, Siegel." Ofi walked up to Siegel. He probably knew the purpose of the other party's visit. He came to thank Siegel for bringing his daughter back from Cintila.

"Long time no see, Mrs. Offee, you look very good." Siegel looked at the expression on Offie's face. She didn't look like the leader of the Rogue Trade Dynasty at all, but more like a mother.

She said to Siegel quite solemnly: "I don't know how to thank you for what you have done. I can only say that I owe you a favor."

"Your words are enough, Mrs. Offe. After I got in touch with Igrein, I felt that she should come to the expansion area instead of spending time in the Hive City. It happened that something happened to the Marchenko Dynasty. I I took this opportunity to bring her out."

"I heard Igg tell me that she admires you very much." Offee turned her head and looked at Igrain who was not far away. She was communicating with the chief engineer of Armengard, the sage Verona. with something.

"That's really surprising." Siegel followed Offie's line of sight and looked at Igrain, and he explained to Offee: "She didn't know much about the content behind the profession of Rogue Trader before. I misunderstood a little bit."

"I haven't been back to Cintila for a long time. Who would have thought that the grievances of that sword would last until today." Offee also sighed with some melancholy.

When she was young, at a banquet of the Marchenko Dynasty, she witnessed the "stimulus activity" played by the nobles: watching the abducted bottom hive residents perform antics on stage after forced injection of stimulant drugs.

She then challenged the host of the banquet, a direct member of the Marchenko dynasty, to a duel and beautifully chopped off his hand, a feud that continues to this day.

"But you won't regret cutting that sword, will you?" After seeing Offie nodded, Siegel continued: "I also despise the behavior of some nobles. But I am the same age as you When I was [-] years old, I just turned a blind eye to this, and I couldn't do anything righteous. For you, for your deeds, I sincerely admire you."

Volume 93 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] "Fleet Review"

Two days later, Port Roaming.

During this period of time, the mooring area of ​​the Roaming Port was very lively. After all, it was rare for so many rogue traders who had made their names in the expansion area to gather together.Everyone who wanders in the expanded area will promote their own "legendary" stories, but verbal bragging is far less straightforward than putting their own starship in front of others.

Even an unknown person, when others see his several-kilometer-long starship and the huge array of macro cannons on it, they will think about the tone of their conversation.Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is not welcome in this universe. Only a very few people will spread their reputation to every corner of the galaxy, and being too low-key will only bring endless troubles to themselves.

Siegel and the members of his dynasty all returned to the starship yesterday, preparing for the group trip of the Rogue Trader group. They will set off from the roaming port and arrive at the landing port.Then, according to the information obtained from their respective searches, they went to various corners of the cauldron area to find the location of the "Faceless Lord" Karadvar.

The command of this fleet when it left the port was handed over to the port staff at the Port of Roaming, and during the journey from the Port of Roaming to the port of arrival, the flagship and command of the fleet undoubtedly belonged to the Winterfin Dynasty and Caligos.

Rogue traders are keen on ostentation and honor. The picture of Caligos standing on the bridge of the Dynasty flagship Emperor's Oath was placed in various taverns in Wandering Port by Dynasty personnel. Lin Dynasty is in charge.

General Nathaniel and Inquisitor Odessa stood on the top command deck of the Port of Wandering, and the servo skulls in the berthing area relayed this "ship review" belonging to the Rogue Traders for them.

Compared with other departments of the empire, the supreme commander of the Cronus fleet has a clear understanding of the power of the Rogue Trader. The military strength behind a political entity like the Rogue Trader cannot be ignored or excluded.The Cronus fleet has repeatedly repelled the attacks of the enemies of the empire in the expansion area together with the armed forces of the Rogue Traders.

Compared to Odessa's distrust of the Rogue Traders and his worries about their power, General Nathaniel expressed optimism about this. This optimism came from his confidence in the strength of the Cronus fleet.Due to the huge burden of the Achilles expedition, the fleets in the Calixis, Scarus, and Isaniad star regions are slowly declining in stock, and a large number of ships have been recruited. Was cast into the bottomless pit of the Jericho sector.

The Cronus squadron, as the fleet stationed at the Jericho star gate, was exempted from recruitment. At the same time, due to the hunting of pirates in the Cronus expansion area, the strength of the entire fleet even increased.He is not afraid of the blow that the Rogue Traders may cause to the empire. In his opinion, the loose system of the Rogue Traders cannot pose a substantial threat to the Empire at all.

On the broadcast screen, the first ship began to leave the port. This is the Avenger-class large cruiser from the Winterscale Dynasty, the Emperor's Oath. She is 7.5 kilometers long and weighs 4000 million tons. Each of the three sets of macro artillery arrays, compared to Siegel's use of the Las Gravity Long Cannon, a macro artillery array that can adjust the range, Caligos' modification on the family flagship is much simpler.

He chose to use the three sets of macro cannon arrays on the side to use macro cannon arrays with different ranges and damage modes, from the farthest light spear, to the common Mars-type macro cannon, and then to the plasma macro cannon with particularly considerable damage at close range .

Caligos' reason is that when the enemy approaches him, he will find that the firepower is getting stronger and stronger. Before the enemy can fully react, the firepower of the Emperor's Oath can tear it apart.

Three different weapon systems were installed on the ancient hull of the Avenger class, which was undoubtedly a torture for the cogitator array on the ship to assist fire.

Siegel was also tortured. It was really difficult for him to accept this design idea, so that every time he saw the Emperor's Oath, he felt constipated.Although the warships of the empire generally have a "romance" of ships in the age of sails, Siegel absolutely does not accept the design of sail battleships with completely different calibers on each deck.
