Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

The capital ships of the empire have special secondary battery turrets, and the main guns must look like main guns. The other starships of the Winterfin Dynasty were also influenced by the dynasty leaders. All starships are equipped like Tunguska, and there is no way to use them. Maximum firepower.

Siegel took advantage of this and defeated the squadrons of the Winterfin Dynasty several times in the battle between Winterfin and Kulda. It seems that they have not learned a lesson from this.

The flagship of the Kulda Dynasty, the Ruthless Flame, which left the port, is a rare experimental ship. After several years of refitting, the Ignis class was finally successfully listed and became the flagship of the Kulda Dynasty. flagship.

The Relentless Flame looks much better than the Emperor's Oath. She is a starship specialized in close combat: with heavy armor, plasma cannons and a dynamic ram at the bow, this ship probably has With thousands of years of history, her machine soul is extremely manic, and she especially likes to fight, while normal patrol actions will appear to be very resistant.

After the departure of these two huge dynasty flagships in the expansion area, the flagships of the next four dynasties are all classics of the Imperial Navy, Lunar-class cruisers.

The first to set sail was Albergret's Destiny.His lunar class has been heavily modified, with gilded battlements and armored hulls, and he has a very good chance to replenish the starship with his family behind him.

"Set sail!" Siegel sat on the captain's throne, commanding and controlling the departure of the ship, and Gloria conveyed the order to every officer on the bridge through the servo skull.

The flagship of the Foster dynasty——Golden Journey was the first to set sail. Logically speaking, Armengard's Luna-class cruiser should be the first to leave the port. This order problem reflects the status of the dynasty in the expansion area.But she voluntarily gave up this opportunity, and Bastille retreated under the threat of Armengard. Only Siegel's Golden Journey left the port first.

Then came the Lunar-class cruiser Banshee, the flagship of the Armengard dynasty. Compared with other Rogue Traders, Offee's protection of the sailors on board was perfect.Her ship's sailors are the longest-lived of all Rogue Traders, having adapted to life on board and forming specific community groups.

In addition, what is quite special is that there is a statue of Saint Celestine on the bow of her ship.

The Lunar-class cruiser Colossus of the Bastille dynasty, a standard Navy Lunar-class cruiser.

Finally, Ms. Sun Lee's family's flagship, the Woren, and the accompanying ships of the various families, including corvettes, frigates, and destroyers.

What attracts attention is that Ms. Sun Li is on the bridge. It is not a common church design in the empire, but an ancient Chinese-style tower standing on the top of the battleship.

Volume 94 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Wolves

This huge fleet consisting of a large cruiser, a heavy cruiser, four standard cruisers, and a dozen auxiliary battleships slowly sailed to the Mandeville point of the galaxy, the entrance of the "Great Mouth" passage, under the watchful eyes of the people of the empire. .This armed force composed of Rogue Traders will pass through the gap between the Screaming Vortex and the Void Dancer's Roar, and return to the expanded area, and return to the starry sky that belongs to them, to find, excavate, and punish the enemies of the empire .

"The Grand Fleet has arrived at Mandeville Point, the entire fleet! Activate Geller's stand! Prepare to cross the 'Great Mouth' passage!"

Calligos’ bold command sound came from the communicator, and with the opening of the Geller’s position on all ships, the subspace engine also started up.

The Golden Journey has also started preparations before entering the subspace channel. Cassia is on the navigation spire, the eyes of the subspace are fully unfolded, and the scene inside the subspace is washing her mind. There is a calm path in the warp space storm, and this time the "big mouth" did not show its dangerous character.

"The front channel is clear, and subspace navigation can be carried out." Among the navigation pinnacles of the large fleet, the navigators made the following judgments.

"The subspace engine starts!"

The huge energy tore apart the curtain between reality and the subspace, and sucked the battleship that opened Geller's position into the chaotic and disordered subspace.

Siegel looked at the data fed back to the thinker array by the auspicious instrument. The auspicious instrument could still perceive the other warships of the Grand Fleet, but the position, distance, direction and other information were all unknown.

In the subspace, there is no direction. All human beings can do here is to follow the ocean current of the subspace to their destination.

This time may be short, or it may be long.

But the enemies of the Empire never... never sit still...

-

The Kronos Expansion, the Cauldron region, some asteroid belt.

The huge asteroid belt is a good place for warships to hide. Whether they are pirates, chaos marauders or green skins, they all like to hide here to avoid the pursuit and search of the huge imperial fleet.

A small fleet bearing the Chaos Mark symbol rests on the inner edge of the asteroid belt.The Chaos markings and bumps on the ship's hull don't quite cover the Imperial emblem on the ship, but it makes the ship look even more profane.Lightning flashes on the hull from time to time, which is a scene that is completely invisible on imperial ships, which shows that this ship has a very close connection with the subspace.

This is the Faceless Lord's Wolf Pack consisting of a Butcher-class cruiser and two Hellbringer-class planetary assault ships.They reside in this asteroid belt, and the internal members of the ship are wizards, chaotic believers, mutants, and slave labor who were captured and abused.Blood, body fluids, and corpses were everywhere on the ship. The crew used flesh and blood to paint evil and depraved horror pictures on the walls of the cabin.

Ordinary killings and blood, not to mention satisfying the Chaos Gods they believe in, can't even satisfy their evil and corrupt dark desires in their hearts.

Evil warp creatures roam the ships, and no matter which chaotic god's followers they are, as long as the crew on board is weak or lax in their hearts, these warp creations will eat them up.Vile rituals are performed on this ship at every moment, and souls are torn apart by the eerie energies of the Warp every moment.

The Chaos Marauders on the ship are still bragging about their viciousness in the empire's colonies, but the command layer inside the ship is already gloomy.

"The progress is completely unable to keep up with the requirements of the Faceless Lord, and the patrol intensity of the Imperial Navy is getting higher and higher." The commanders of the fleet are whispering.

"There is no way to explain it. The defense of the large colonies has been tightened, and the small colonies are simply not enough. We can't use those stinky fish and rotten shrimps to make up for it." Terrence Gonzales is the leader of this Chaos Predator Squadron The commander, his body has been affected by subspace power, his hands have been completely distorted and mutated, and the skin on his face has also begun to glow with strange colors.

"Where is the navigator, where is our next goal? I want to calculate how much time is left." Terence was very aware of the horror of the Faceless Lord.

Karadwar, even a fleet commander like Terence did not know his true form, all his intentions were conveyed and issued by his lieutenants, but no one would doubt his terror.

It's a terrifying method that can turn one's soul cold just by looking at it.

……

During the conversation on the ship, there was a fluctuation in the Mandeville point of the galaxy, and a large revenge-class cruiser appeared in the galaxy.She has a huge hull, with long-distance light spears arranged on the artillery decks on both sides, and the wide gekuna seriously affects the design of the hull.Like many ships, the Revenge class was also designed by the empire to go into battle. After various coincidental betrayals and strange operations, it finally fell into the hands of Chaos believers in a muddle along with the design drawings.

She broke through the asteroid belt without hesitation, stopping next to the ship that had previously parked in the asteroid belt.

The arrival of this large cruiser undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the others. This ship is the ship of Sendak Walteras, the terrifying adjutant of the faceless lord Karadevar. He is obviously not here to reward these people. fleet.

The communication was connected, and a man whose face was painted with the Chaos Mark while the other half of his face had disappeared appeared on the screen of the command bridge.

"Terence, how short is the quota of your fleet?" Through the screen, Terence could clearly see the changes in Sendak's muscles when he spoke. The movement of the muscles is completely unreasonable.

"It's about 1 short, Sendak." Terence answered the other party's question with a frown.

"What are you doing? The progress is too slow! The demon host's divination ceremony has shown that the empire noticed our actions, but you told me that the task assigned to you has not been completed. I am very, very disappointed in you."

"Divination is still needed for this kind of thing? The empire has noticed our behavior a long time ago! The Cronus fleet has stepped up its patrol mission to the empire's colonies in the expansion area! If I hadn't run fast, I wouldn't even have made this progress. !"

"Am I here to listen to your excuses? Do you want to let yourself explain to the Faceless Lord! You better understand the Faceless Lord's temper and the importance of this mission! Twenty thousand sacrifices! Must Gather on time, the ceremony cannot be delayed! When you command this fleet, you must think clearly about your responsibilities!"

"You still talk to me about your responsibilities? I didn't care about my responsibilities when I was in the empire! Besides, these three warships belonged to me!"

"Not when you join the pack! You better think about who's protecting you!"

Volume 95 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] The Fleet Arrives

When the large fleet appeared in the furious galaxy, the port of arrival quickly received the communication from the fleet, and the news of the arrival of the huge fleet caused a wave of restlessness among the residents of the port of arrival.

This fleet is obviously crushing for many forces in the expansion area. Probably only two kinds of Eldar, greenskins, Rak'Gol (a kind of alien unique to the expansion area) and Chaos Marauders can organize a fleet. Match the power against it.

[If you consider the power of the empire, you need to add the Imperial Navy and the Mechanic Order. 】

For the owner of the planet or space station in the expanded area, when he saw this huge fleet, he had to think about his relationship with the empire and the Rogue Traders group.

This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Sheila Amick, who has just succeeded the King of Arrival Port; the importance of Arrival Port to the expansion of the area is self-evident, and the title of the King of Arrival Port can only be discovered when she actually sits on it. This is simply a reminder.

For the port of arrival: rogue traders, imperial criminal groups, imperial pirates, and aliens will all operate here without any interference, and even more dangerous existences can be found in this dirty place without "causing trouble" for everyone. find their own living space.

To maintain such a situation will test the ability of the King of Arrival Port. His main responsibility is to manage the distribution of supplies at the Arrival Port and maintain the business environment here.

There are a considerable number of items that can be used for capital punishment in the port of arrival. They control the smuggling routes leading to the territory of the empire. The underground war has never stopped.

There is only a subspace passage between Port Wandering, and the style of painting on both sides becomes completely different. This place is even more depraved than the interior of the Hive City, but if the only law in the empire can still make a person feel uncomfortable, then Port of Arrival may is his best choice.

But no matter what, the port of arrival still belongs to the sphere of influence of the empire. When the large fleet arrived, the laborers and servants in the berthing area were ready to provide corresponding services for the fleet.

The ships of the Grand Fleet entered the berthing area of ​​the port of arrival one by one, and Siegel boarded the port again, but this time, there were too many rogue traders staying at the port of arrival, and the servants and sailors would carry The trading materials are moved out of the warehouse, and they will be handed over to the port official in the next negotiation with the king of the port, and then distributed to the various forces in the port.

In such a fleet, the sailors who are free to move will "have fun" in the activity area of ​​​​the port of arrival when the fleet is docked.It's interesting to look at the flow of Throne Coins during this time period, the Rogue Traders paid the profits from the sale of supplies to the Stow as wages to the sailors on the ship, and the sailors usually spent all or at least half of the Throne at the Stow Coins to enjoy services and life.

It might be argued that the Rogue Trader used this method to reclaim his Throne Coins from his sailors.But the problem is that the fleet composed of seven dynasties is not allowed to disembark even if contract slaves and machine servants are not needed, which still adds hundreds of thousands of extra population to the port of arrival out of thin air.Probably except for the king of the port of arrival who maintains the basic order, the other forces in the port of arrival are ready to welcome these people.

It is foreseeable that in the next period of time, the "service personnel" in the port of arrival: hawkers, thieves, prostitutes and even rogue thugs will not lack their own businesses.

When the leaders of the seven dynasties led the main members of the dynasties to walk on the streets of Luojiaogang, the gap between people has never been so vividly reflected.

There are far more than the seven rogue traders who are active in the Port of Arrival. After paying attention to this, some small dynasties have keenly noticed that the prices of living materials in the Port of Arrival will usher in a rise in the future. Those with strong actions have already begun to prepare It's time to board the ship for the next trade event.

Most of the following "procedural" activities are home to Caligos.Siegel was more listening to Caligos' loud voice bragging about his achievements and exaggerating the responsibilities of the fleet with the king of the port of arrival.

In fact, the leaders of the various dynasties knew that after the trip to the port of arrival, they would separate and find their own.

Siegel listened to Caligos's mouthless bragging. For rogue traders, or for most people, this kind of bragging that does not involve themselves is usually nutritious.When he opened his eyes again, he found that in the court of the monarch in the port of arrival, most of the dynasty leaders had already left first.

Siegel looked at the King of Port of Arrival who was still carefully communicating with Caligos, thought for a while, and left with the others.

When he went out, he saw Varadam, the spokesperson of the Church of Kasparica, talking with other people. Siegel was not sure whether the ship that was completely assimilated by the halo creation was still in the expansion area, or had already been taken by Cass. The vast criminal network under Barrica was recovered.

"If you have any special items you want, you can talk to Varadam." Although carrying alien items with you is a challenge to the law of the empire in a sense, Rogue Traders will also choose to use them in pursuit of better equipment. These alien creations.

Gloria led Skadi and Mel to go to the secret market in Kasbarika. The deep-sea hunters have very picky requirements for weapons, and Mel wanted to see where there were data fragments. You can buy it in your hands.

There are a large number of illegal psykers and members of the renegade navigator family in the Port of Arrival. These members and Liz and Cassia are naturally unfriendly or even hostile forces. They are not suitable to stay in the port of Arrival for too long. time.

Siegel asked Remulle to escort the two back to the safe area on the ship, while Laurentina was in charge of Siegel's security work during the time at the port of arrival. In Sintila, Siegel was attacked. The matter made the members of the dynasty break out in a cold sweat. At that time, Ils even wanted to arrange a few court acolytes for Siegel to ensure his safety.

Skadi and Laurentina certainly did not allow such a thing to happen. For the two chief armed officers of the dynasty, Siegel's safety was their task. Ra is Siegel's home planet, causing this matter to be overlooked on Sintila.

But in the Expansion and elsewhere, they both performed their roles well.

Siegel intends to look around inside the port of arrival. The port of arrival collects and distributes not only goods, but also news inside the expansion area.

-

passed out

Volume 96 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Arrival Market

Siegel and Laurentina walked inside the neutral zone in the center of the port of arrival. Like the port of roaming, a lot of news circulated in the port every day.It's just that the news circulating in the port is even more...heretical.

Siegel and Laurentina walked in the passage of the port of arrival. The walls on both sides of the passage were made of roughly hewn stones. As the years eroded, the coating on it became muddy and began to fall off in large pieces.Here is the bazaar of Falling Harbor, filled with thousands of void travelers, labourers, servants, merchants, and scum, cursing, grunting, or shouting the value of their wares.

As Siegel and Laurentina moved forward, their identity-declaring decorations made pedestrians make way for them, and some bolder vendors greeted Siegel with the price of the treasured goods in their hands.The stalls of those scattered traders are of little concern. Here, without power, the property in one's hands cannot be kept for the next day.

If you want to buy items from the past that can still be said in this market, you must at least find a booth with a few security guards. It is interesting to say that Siegel has lived until now, and he has not participated in many major events in this universe. Most of the knowledge is used to deal with other forces and "appraisal".

While Siegel was walking and stopping between the stalls, his ears were not idle, except for communicating with the stall owner about the authenticity and price of the goods.Even though he was not good at intelligence gathering, he could still hear them discussing the relationship between this large fleet and the recent actions of the faceless lord Karadevar from the people around him from time to time.

Siegel intends to go deep into the market and find the "Black Brotherhood". This is a relatively large underground force composed of gangsters in the port of arrival. Their news is often very well-informed. He hopes to find a report on this Information about the location and number of people attacked by Karadewar for a period of time.

But there have always been rules for finding someone to do things in roaming port.Siegel was not in a hurry, he was slowly searching for the items he was interested in at the booth.This made Laurentina's security work somewhat difficult.Fortunately, her huge chain saw ax and the two bolt guns on her waist gave enough deterrence to the people around her, warning the youngsters not to put their hands where they shouldn't be.

Siegel's attention was attracted to something sold at a stall. This was a pharmacy stall with rows of bottles and jars on it.

The main industry of the Foster family is potion production, especially the production of combat potions. Mel provided the production formula, and the Imperial Guard recognized the effects of potions very much.And when Siegel himself faced a dangerous opponent, he would also choose to inject medicine to smooth out the huge difference in physical fitness between them.

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Siegel also became quite interested in various medicinal materials and formulas.Although he is indeed at the level of half a bucket of water in this respect,

But this does not affect him to watch the fun.

Seeing Siegel taking several bottles of potion and looking left and right, the stall owner had no intention of buying it after several rounds of introductions. The stall owner seemed to understand what Siegel wanted to buy.

"My lord, do you want to try this, so that you can regain your glory!" The stall owner mysteriously took out a small bottle and handed it to Siegel.

Siegel turned his head and glanced at Laurentina who laughed out loud.Just about to refuse, an arm suddenly rested on Siegel's shoulder, and the person reached out to take the mysterious potion from the stall owner, held it up to the light and looked at the potion inside with his water-blue eyes, his tone full of teasing Taste: "Siegel, you actually need this?"

Igrain was wearing gray tight-fitting fiber armor, and the chest and key points were covered with fine carapace for protection.

"Put it back, of course I don't need it." Siegel knew very well that if Igrein planned to mess around, the matter would only get darker and darker. He looked at Igrein who had changed a little, " These are your new equipment? Your mother gave you?"

Siegel didn't know that Igrein was Sintila's snitch. He thought that the high-tech gun on Igrein's body was given to her by her mother.

"Almost." In the expanded area, Igrein could take out all kinds of equipment that he bought from the hive capital Sibelius, and her mother just gave herself a corresponding excuse, so she took advantage of the situation Admit it.

Siegel looked at Igrein's weapons, and they seemed to be quite sophisticated. Unlike all his equipment, which were made by the Empire, Igrein's main focus was an "exotic style".

He looked at the long sword pinned to Igrein's waist. Many rogue traders had visited the Egalia ruled area, so he naturally recognized the "Egalia Crystal Blade" on her waist.

He thought it was the weapon that Offi had prepared for her daughter. The Egalia alien melee weapon was made of the crystals abundant in their labyrinth. These crystals were extremely sharp but extremely fragile. When piercing into the flesh, the strength of the muscle contraction will cause the crystal fragments to fall off the sword and remain in the body. These tiny particles are extremely difficult to remove and will continue to cause secondary damage to the injured.

Siegel doesn't like this weapon very much. It does good damage to the body, but its armor-piercing ability is very embarrassing.

But in fact, Igrain had already used Egalia's crystal plate as her own weapon a long time ago, and she was familiar with the performance of this weapon.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Igrain repeated the old matter.

Siegel could only snatch the potion from her hand and put it back in the stall owner's box.

"If you really want to know the answer, why not try it yourself." Siegel said to Igrain.

"Uh...it's too early..." Igrein was a little surprised by the overly straight ball operation, and she took her arm off Siegel's shoulder in a panic, "No...I mean..."

"Don't say anything." Siegel looked at Igrein with a "that's it" expression on his face. It was rare to see her cheeks flushed. Mother together?"

"Ah, no." Igrain adjusted his mentality and said, "I want to see what the port of arrival looks like, so I went out alone for a stroll."

"The ports of each empire have unique charm and appeal, but only the port of arrival lacks both." Siegel quoted the long-standing evaluation of the port of arrival.

"I don't think so." Igrein put his hand on the bag at his waist unconsciously, and there were various small objects lying quietly inside.

Volume 97 Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] The Black Brotherhood

"Are you following me like this?" Siegel looked at Igrein, who were walking towards the depths of the port of arrival, "Aren't you going to your mother's side?"

"Your words sound like I'm a child who can't live without my mother!" Igrein refuted Siegel's words, "My purpose of appearing here is the same as yours."
