Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

With the saber back in its sheath, Siegel took off his saber and pinned the saber to his waist.But what did he soon realize?

"However, is today Saint Andrews Day?" Strictly speaking, there is no concept of time in the subspace. Every time they return to the physical universe from the subspace, they need to re-calibrate the time, so they want to spend St. Andrews Day on the ship. Gilles Day and Ascension Day are unrealistic things.

And Santa Luz Day is a festival characteristic of the Calixis sector, which means the first day of the new year.

"No, I didn't ask anything." Siegel immediately reacted, and Mel's dissatisfied expression returned to normal.

"So what did you take away from those meditators? What did you find in it?"

"Hmph, nothing important, what is worth mentioning is just a series of design drawings of the anti-gravity engine."

"?" Siegel didn't understand.

"The engine of the suspension vehicle is an important part of the anti-gravity site; the air suspension of the flying vehicle also needs to rely on this thing. The super-large anti-gravity engine can make it easier for the starship to maneuver in the atmosphere and will not be affected by the planet. Gravity bound."

Although few people do this, the starship can enter the atmosphere of the planet, the starship can land on the surface of the planet, and the engine can also make the starship break free from land and return to orbit or even deep space.

The reason why no one does this is because the huge self-weight causes damage to the structure of the starship every time it lands under the gravitational force of the planet.

The anti-gravity engine can make various vehicles of the empire have better maneuverability inside the atmosphere, and even allow larger aircraft to enter the atmosphere.

"Sounds good, looks like your sage promotion will be easy to pass." Although this is not a physical STC, it is still a real gain.As long as these early blueprint designs of the empire are retrieved and inspected from the massive data fragments of Mechanicum, the STC will soon be restored.

"It's a pity that the approval of the finished product may take a long time, but the promotion of the sage will not be delayed." Mel said nonchalantly.

When Mars reviews technological achievements, the review time will often exceed a century, unless the provided technology is a complete and unpolluted STC original.

But promoting a sage is another matter. Finding these data is a major gain for the Mechanic Order. Perhaps these technologies were not passed under the review of Mars, but these technologies will also be absorbed by the local Mechanic Order.

It is too difficult to get these oil heads to give up a technology.

"Is there anything else to gain?"

"The remaining things are indeed not worth mentioning, but I have made new progress in my previous research on those alien plasma weapons." Mel and Siegel talked about the previous topic.

"That sounds good, how about the power?"

"It is calculated from the data on the drawings that the damage of these weapons is considerable. The initial hit is similar to the effect of the plasma weapon, and the longer the hit time is, the weapon will gradually exceed the fusion. The attack distance is longer than the heat. Molten weapons are shorter than live ammunition weapons.”

"That sounds really good."

"I have replaced the prow weapon of a Fury class with an experimental variant of the alien plasma weapon, which I have named the Entropic Disintegrator."

"These things are up to you. You have to ensure your own safety and the safety of the technology. If there is a risk, stop it. Let's change another direction or subject. It's up to you." Siegel said that he didn't understand Mel's words at all. Technical terms, but he didn't hold back Meier's research in this area, and even supported her to go deeper.

One or more technological innovations cannot save the empire, but it can make the empire farther away from the abyss of destruction.

Dora Kaul has done 1 years of research work, and he was able to provide enough technical support for the empire after the Great Rift unfolded, so that Abaddon's No.13 Black Expedition failed to cause even more terrifying consequences, and then in Kiri When Man got up from his static position, he slapped the Warmaster with his backhand.

As the empire faces more and more threats, the shackles that bind all aspects of the empire will gradually be released. At that time, Mel will show his ability.

"I am very optimistic about you, Sage Mel."

"Of course, don't look at who I am."

"Fleet floats up!" The fleet finally arrived in Yupt after a period of time. With the tearing of the subspace and the physical universe curtain, the fleet was washed into the Yuput galaxy by the subspace ocean current.

As the subspace shutters above the portholes of the battleship slowly rose, the members of the fleet were able to see the appearance of the Jupt galaxy.

In the center of the galaxy is a dying star. There are some planets and asteroid belts in the entire galaxy, but no human activities have been detected.But there has indeed been a war here, and Siegel doesn't quite know what happened in this galaxy.

"The Auger Matrix has detected an unknown fleet, which is a mixed fleet of imperial light cruisers and ships of other races."

"Unknown communication received."

"Access."

"Hello, human friends, this is Stryxis's nomadic fleet, how about making a deal!"

With a strange accent, a fleet of alien races claiming to be Stryxis appeared in the galaxy of Jupt. What does it mean?

Volume [-] Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Stryxis

The two fleets kept a safe distance from each other, floating in the universe, and talking to each other through communicators.

The Stryxis fleet looks very dilapidated, and almost all of their ships look like this.Consisting of hollowed-out asteroids, the hulls of space hulks, salvaged parts of hulls, or even more outrageous things, the Empire's alien records distinguish these alien ships by size, with the larger ones called "three-masted ships" The smaller ones are called "caravan ships".

They'd salvage anything that could fit a sailing engine, and tow it behind the three-masted ships of their fleet on gigantic ropes.Behind each three-masted barge hung hundreds of chains for hauling, to which were attached the various hulls they had collected.

The entire fleet was what they called "the caravan".

Stryxis can be found anywhere in the Expanse, and they are nomads of the starry sky, usually traveling in their starships.

They like trading very much, and they will deal with people other than the Eldar as an unreliable businessman, but if their opponents are extremely weak, they don't mind turning into slave hunters or pirates.

Although Stryxis usually do not resort to violence, they have little loyalty to those they deal with. In order to seek greater benefits, these aliens will not hesitate to betray those who used to be. "partner".

Stryxis have little conception of value when it comes to valuables, and will be as happy to buy worthless trinkets as gold ingots - in the eyes of other legitimate merchants, these amounts are often compared to the actual value of the traded item It doesn't matter.

"Old and honorable two-legged guests, you can call me Master Aramir. My people and I are doing scavenging work in this galaxy. We sincerely invite you to come and visit our ship. There might be a deal."

"Siegel, what are you going to do?" Offee's communication came in. The rumor of Stryxis is no secret among the rogue traders. Since the establishment of the dynasty, the Winterfin family has had contact with these aliens. trade.

"Ah, honorable bipedal guests, I know why you are here. If ordinary items cannot arouse your desire to buy, then a planet that originally belonged to you and is now cursed by the Nine Heavens will certainly arouse your desire to buy." attention."

"Well then, we agree to meet with you, Master Aramir." Siegel finally agreed to the meeting request with the alien.

"Then please don't be impatient, I will arrange for the aircraft to take your delegation to the caravan."

-

When Siegel and his party boarded Stryxis's "caravan", only its dilapidated state came into view. Dim lights flowed in the middle of the cracks in the wall until they disappeared in the distance, and then another light replaced them. its location.

It wasn't the first time Siegel had boarded a Stryxis ship, but they were more casual for ships than greenskins, with sections of compartments interconnecting in an extremely random fashion.

The connecting screws and rivets even vibrate slightly as Karoo advances.

Siegel believes that if Mel followed to this alien ship, there is no doubt that she would belittle the alien ship to nothing.

But the Stryxis don't mind the contempt of others, and any fleet that tries to attack their "caravan" will pay the price for their recklessness and arrogance.

This is the most capable race in the starry sky, and there are already too many examples to prove this.

Stryxis nomads, the commoner segment of their society, can occasionally be seen walking up and down the passage.

Stryxis, like humans, are bipeds and can reach a height of two meters; however, they tend to appear sluggish and rarely stand fully upright.They are very slender, with three fingers at the end of their arms, and their fingers are long and thin, like claws.The feet are thick and short with pads.Although Stryxis look very light, they often weigh no less than 90 kg.

Stryxis has two arms that end in three clawed grasping appendages, and two dog-like feet.They walk with a hunchback and undulating gait, which means they appear shorter than they really are.

Humans can't tell the gender of Stryxis from the appearance, and they don't even know the method of reproduction of the other party. The Mechanic Adeptus doesn't have many dissection records about this alien.

In limited contact with this xenomorph, it has been found that these xenomorph races prefer to wrap themselves in smelly, ragged clothes and baggy robes.

When the fleet's delegation arrived in their stateroom, a Stryxis was already waiting there.

"Welcome, distinguished bipedal guests, it is a pleasure to meet you, I am Master Aramir."

Siegel stared at the Stryxis in front of him. It was the same as Siegel knew, with a combat-looking face and a raised nose vaguely reminiscent of a human bulldog.

The most notable feature is the four curious small eyes on the top, which can scan and blink independently.

Siegel watched the other party's four eyes move back and forth in different directions. His shabby robe was fixed with a thick rope, and various ornaments from different races were attached to it.

Behind this alien stood a biochemically modified slave. Judging from the remaining features of the slave, it should be a Tau.

This race may be the best slave trader. Compared with Chaos or Black Bean Sprouts, they regard slaves as their own property and take good care of them.

And it will be transformed in order to further increase the value of slaves until the slaves are sold.

"It seems that you already know where Karadeval's lair is?" Siegel asked, looking at the wrinkled alien in front of him.

"No, I don't know, we don't know where the Faceless Lord's lair is."

"Then what are we talking about?"

"Of course we can talk about it. For example, in the starry sky not far away, the fleets of the Faceless Lord and the Empire are constantly gathering. For example, before you came to this galaxy, there was a wolf pack fleet that left after plundering." Its His hands twisted in a strange posture, "I have told you so much, respected biped guest, can't I prove my sincerity?"

"So what do you want from me?"

"Aha, some small things that are there, I smell the creation of Egalia." The alien rubbed his three-fingered palm back and forth, and tapped something with his sharp claws. The saber on Geer's waist, "I don't want your favorite knife. I believe you have been inside the labyrinth of Egalia. Can you give me those trivial things that have no collection value?"

-

The aliens are Gypsies and Arab slave traders.

Volume [-] Siegel Foster: Chapter [-] Maury and the Faceless Lord

Transport planes loaded with crystal shards of Egalian structures were pulled onto the "caravan".

After about a few back and forth, the quantity of goods provided to these aliens finally satisfied them.

"Now, it's time for you to give me the information you know."

"Ah, yes, dear biped guest, I will tell you what I know." The alien kept fiddling with his strange fingers, and his four eyes fluttered around, "Let me think about it, let me think about it from Let's start there."

"Let me tell you the most important thing first. Fleets of different forces are moving towards a galaxy in Mori."

"How did you get the news?"

"I got the news from your kind, and then I encountered the subordinates of the Faceless Lord nearby, and they were also heading towards that galaxy. Obviously, there is no goodwill between you, I guess that galaxy is very important to you. You are important."

"As for this galaxy, before you came, the wolves of the Faceless Lord robbed a transport ship full of people. It can be seen that they acted urgently. After taking away the people on board, they left in a hurry Only here is the chance for me to come out and collect some items from those ruins."

"Only these?" The news is indeed very important, but Siegel feels that this alien seems to have concealed some important content.

"Yes, that's all."

"I'm afraid this information is not worth your price."

"It's really not worth it, but you need it, don't you?" Seeing Siegel slowly clenched the scabbard around his waist, Aramir continued: "Well, I'm giving another new message to the distinguished guest .”

"The Maury galaxy is constantly extracting the energy of the subspace, and a wide-ranging storm is about to be generated there. Our navigator has already seen that the reality veil of the Maury galaxy has become more and more fragile. Soon, those who are related to The creations of our different dimensions will pass through the dimensions between each other and come to reality."

"More and more forces in the expanded area have noticed the changes there."

"Guest, if I were you, I wouldn't go there."

……

The transaction was over, and Siegel and the others returned to their respective ships.

A pre-battle battle meeting was held between the main high-level executives of the fleet.

"Murrey Galaxy, I know this place." Siegel introduced their next destination to all the members present.

"There is a planet there. There used to be several human kingdoms on it. Their beliefs were different. Religious wars made the humans on it kill each other meaninglessly. The famous missionary of the Kronos Expansion, Nadine Aleni Cove discovered this. Through her own missionary means, she incorporated that planet into the belief of the state religion. Everyone on the planet chose to put down their weapons and convert to the state religion of the empire. As long as the officials from the Ministry of the Interior arrive, the rule of the empire can be established. .But after she left the planet, Harkin Durr, who had escorted her to the Maury system, attacked the planet, turning most of the planet's population into slaves of their dynasty."

"This kind of behavior completely ruined the efforts of missionary Nadin, and soon the population of that planet was almost plundered, and this planet has been lost ever since."

"I think Karadevar has a high probability of placing his colony on that planet. After such a long period of recovery, the population on the planet will definitely increase. Obviously, the local native residents have serious anti-imperial sentiments, That gave Karadewar a basis for recruiting."

"With Nadine Aleinikoff dead, no one but her missionary followers will care about such a lost planet, a place neglected by all."

"What's the level of technology on that planet in the story?" It was also the first time for Offie to hear about it.

"It was only in the Middle Ages that the local aborigines were still fighting each other with swords, but after so long, they may have degenerated into servants of chaos." Siegel expressed his inference. What happened to Morrie was a complete tragedy. Nadine didn't see the evil intentions behind Doer, a rogue trader. Her missionary behavior disarmed the entire planet, and then the rogue trader's greed destroyed all of Nadine's achievements.

"There may be hundreds of millions of people on the planet. Think about these chaotic believers who hate the empire. This planet is likely to cause us a huge obstacle."

"Kaladvar's fleet is undoubtedly fighting at home, which is convenient for supplies. According to the alien, the Imperial Navy is also heading towards that galaxy. I don't know how much power will be invested in this battle."

"Siegel, what do you plan to do? Are we going to that galaxy?"

"Of course, since we know the news, we should go there, otherwise we can't explain to the Imperial Navy and other rogue traders." What's more, it is unreasonable to miss such a battle. The Empire will win miserably, fail, and have people Think of ideas to make things happen, but the imperial power has never been timid.

"The fleet is heading towards the Mori galaxy. Liz, send a message from the astronomical language to inquire about the imperial forces near the Mori galaxy, and at the same time call for more imperial forces to go to the Mori galaxy. No matter how troublesome Karadevar can be, he will not be able to hold back the empire's armed forces." An iron fist of strength."

-

In the Mori galaxy, deep in the galaxy, a Pluto-class heavy cruiser floats quietly in space.This ship has been completely distorted by the forces of chaos. The hull is full of Slaanesh decorations, and on the decks inside the cabin, extremely profane twisted rituals and unimaginable torture are constantly being carried out. Chaos predators on board Using various means to please their masters, not only Sharis, but also their masters in the real universe, the Faceless Lord-Kaladvar.

This heavy cruiser is the flagship of the Faceless Lord Wolves, the Qiu Tianzun.It was from this ship that Karadevar himself commanded his pack of wolves to ravage.

The command deck of the entire ship is full of decorations full of desire and temptation.

The notorious Chaos Marauder in the Kronos Expanse now sits on his ornate captain's throne, with several noise fighters as his bodyguard.

He carefully manipulated a piece of human skin peeled off from a young girl, and the slaves covered the skin on Karadevar's face, and then the skin seeped through his power armor, his skin, Disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, he changed quickly, from a burly man to a young girl, every move and smile could arouse people's desire.
