Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

Sage Magellan also said that her design was summed up from those scattered data fragments, and now the two tank designs she saw are not much different.

This is also a compliment to her technical ability.

After the safety of the STC template and its contents, Siegel and the others realized that they should rush back to the empire.

The modeler of the RT game may not have invested all his technology on the kanban girl Cassia.

Miss Bean Sprout couldn't bear to look directly at her face.

The tank in this article can be imagined as a 40k version of the French tank with magazines.

Volume Two: The Winds of Flax: Chapter [-] Lars

The Rath galaxy, the pearl of the Calixis sector.

It was once called the Pondus Inbel Galaxy, but was eventually renamed Lars World.

When Siegel's Golden Journey appeared in the core territory of the Mechanicus in the Calixis sector, through the porthole, Siegel once again saw the Lars galaxy.

Compared with the Spark Galaxy, it reveals a completely different aesthetic feeling.

A large number of space buildings stand in this galaxy, and the power of the Mechanicus is flooding the entire galaxy.The Jaeger Titans are stationed on a dead planet called Tarantula in the Rath system.

The data center of the Calixis sector is located in the Rath galaxy, and a very important task of the workers of Rath is to continuously expand the data storage center.

Scattered agricultural stations, research stations, and military defense stations are scattered in every corner of the edge of the Rath galaxy.

In the orbit of the three planets at the core of the Las galaxy, the three most important planets of Las are distributed here.

The Three Stars of Rath: Het, Hesh, and Hadd. During the Angwen Expedition, three Mechanicum Forged Arks were docked in the orbit of the Rath galaxy.As the expedition progressed, the Mechanics found that they had to continue to expand their production capacity to meet the needs of the Angwynn expedition.

So the three foundry arks entered the orbit of the planet, broke into the atmosphere of the planet, and with the foundry ark as the core, began to transform the three planets into the foundry world of Mechanicus.

Now the three planets have completely become the treasures of Mechanicism, and the original things on the surface of the planets have been washed away.Now there are only more and more advanced factories, warehouses, temples and residential areas on the planet.

It took centuries of hard work to transform the world of Rath into the current Forge World, layer by layer, building by building, and the planet continued to evolve.Pipelines, tramways and transport tunnels are laid in the bones of the ever-growing infrastructure.In the increasingly gloomy atmosphere, towering buildings rose from the ground, and the cog marks of the Mechanicum gazed down from the scaffolding-strewn factories, research facilities and worship centers.

The skeletal mechanism of the dock orbits the planets of the Rath star.

The Exploration Fleet of the Adeptus Mechanicum and the ships of the Calixis Sector Fleet all stepped off the slipway and into the void from here.

In the command deck of the Golden Journey.

Communications from the development station on the edge of the Rath galaxy came from the on-board communicator, and at the same time, the siren sound of the ship being locked by the fire control array echoed.

The unique mechanical voice of the servitor echoed on the ship's track.

"Visitors: Foster Family, Prospector Mel. Welcome to Las. Please inform us about the purpose of your visit to Las."

"Brother Mel is going to submit the technical achievements she has been away for many years, and prepare her own sage review."

"Registration is complete, I'm glad to meet you." No happy tone could be heard in the mechanical voice, and the locked alarm was lifted.

The planet of the Mechanicus is a forbidden existence for the oil guys, and ordinary people have no chance to enter it.Most of the fleets transporting raw materials and primary processed products can only reach the development stations on the edge of these galaxies.

Subsequent loading, unloading and transportation work are all done by the Mechanics members themselves.

This can also explain that those who escaped to the forge world after the war will eventually be transformed into machine servants or workers.

Because only in this way, those engine oil brains will feel at ease.After all, even a double-headed eagle has two heads.

In addition to the technical data and precious STC templates in the cabin of the Golden Journey, there are only golden throne coins and more realistic hard currency left.Most of the goods are traded in the port of arrival and roaming port. Siegel does not have the habit of hoarding too much goods, especially when the dynasty lacks cash flow, the more throne coins in his ship, the better.

The starship sailed slowly past the development station, heading towards Harder, one of the three stars of Las.

Soon, they arrived at the forged planet, surrounded by a large number of space buildings, including starship docks orbiting the planet.

But compared to the hustle and bustle around the planet, Hader seemed very quiet.Unlike the thick industrial waste gas on the other two forged planets, Harder's atmospheric index is much better, although this is compared between forged worlds.

There are only a few small furnaces spewing out exhaust gas, and there are only a few large hollows in the core of Hader's planet.

"You seem very nervous." Siegel rarely felt some nervousness from Mel.

"If you are a Hader monk, you will also feel nervous. Ever since I fully realized this planet, I have been struggling to escape from here." Mel glared at Siegel, then sighed, The body that was standing upright also became weak.

"Are you sure you want to tell me something secret about Lars?"

"Just take it as my complaint. After all, every time I go back to Hader, it's a torture for me." Siegel saw Mel's expression for the first time, and she said: "In the early days of Russ, Harder is the location of several information temples, which store important data for the Angwen expedition. In terms of production, Harder is mainly responsible for the ammunition and ordnance urgently needed for the expeditionary force. Harder was once awarded a high but over time, after the expedition was over, these duties were interpreted as demeaning to the sages of Lathard."

"At that time, several sages asked to leave Hader, and more sages and monks organized to request that the production line of weapons and ammunition be transferred from Hader to the space station." Mel pointed to the space station outside the porthole with his chin. , "That's it. Most of the manufacturing stations in the galaxy are responsible for the manufacturing tasks of Harder back then."

"Those empty areas on the surface of the planet used to be Hader's ordnance and ammunition production line."

"The damage caused by time is more than that. The data in the Information Temple was leaked or decrypted over time, and Harder's status in the three stars of Rath has further declined. And those who have been clamoring for centuries, those who are more" Prestige' products have not yet appeared, and the areas originally reserved for those products have been idle. There are almost no beautiful notes produced by industrial production on Harder, and the whole planet is usually as silent as a dead planet. 'The furnace of silence'."

"Haite has always been the head of Rath and the heart of the Mechanicum of Calixis. Hasha has advanced in production technology by leaps and bounds over the centuries, and the sages of Hasha regard the Hyte as manipulative politicians , and the Haders are slobs with the name Mechanicus."

"Among the three stars of Las Vegas, only Harder is constantly regressing. Now Harder's casting director, Will Vajh, has been in office for two hundred years." Mel's tone is a bit intriguing, "He is the one who has dominated Hader. The relocation of Germany's basic production line is also the cause of the decline of Hader's planet."

"His almost incompetent rule has led to the splitting of the mechanics above Harder into countless factions. Each faction is trying to make their own project the core industry of Harder. The end result is that none of them can succeed. .”

"What about your research results?"

"It's basically the same. Did you know that the machinery factory on this ship is the lathe that produces the most of my products, although in my eyes it's not at all comparable to the furnace of the foundry world." Mel shook his head bitterly, "No need Worried, the sage's review is easy to pass, even if it is on the Russ Agreement."

Her voice became mechanical, perhaps trying to hide her emotions in such sentences.

"After all, Vil Vajh is my mentor. Behind his incompetent rule, the more dangerous thing is that I can't see through him at all. I believe he is planning something, and I believe many people have noticed That. The good guys will be talking about when Will Vaij will step down from his position as Harder's director, and he's been Harder's casting director to this day."

"That person is also the reason why I want to escape Lars. There is nothing more stupid than knowing the danger and getting closer."

A man's voice soon came from the communicator on the command deck, and his tone revealed quite joy and enthusiasm.

"Mel?! I received a message from the pioneer station that you are back, are you on this ship?"

"Siegel, I hope you can accompany me for the next itinerary..." Mel changed his voice back, and his tone was full of a hint of ambiguity.

Volume II Flax: Chapter [-] Aluminum Alliance

Many Rogue Traders have unclear relationships with the Mechanicus.

It is not the first time Siegel has arrived in the Las galaxy, but in the past it was more of a taste.His relationship with the Mechanicus is not as close as that of the State Church, but business and human relations have always existed.

The Golden Journey is docked at the berthing port of Harder's Dock, and the members of the Mechanicum are overhauling the Golden Journey. Intractable diseases that cannot be solved in the expansion area and roaming port can be properly repaired in Lars' dock. deal with.

Generally speaking, on a foundry planet, there are only huge factories, Mechanicus temples, and information centers. Apart from these industrial buildings, there are also a large number of industrial populations.From the contracted laborers and machine servants at the bottom to the great sages of the Mechanic Cult at the top, the huge population maintains the operation of the foundry planet.

Although Harder has fallen, there are still a large number of industrial populations on it, and there are only a handful of production orders from the perspective of a casting planet.

And create research samples for the monks of each Mechanicism.

Siegel, Mel, Laurentina, and Karoo got off the Golden Journey and took the shuttle to Harder's surface.

When they stepped off the shuttle and entered the port of anchorage on the surface of Harder, they were able to watch the "Silent Furnace" of Rath from another perspective.

Unlike viewing Harder's desolation from orbit, Harder's surface is actually a man-made structure, an artificial crust made up of many steel platforms, each connected by a labyrinth of girders, sliding connectors, and washer-like King Kong net.

Although it has been silent for nearly two centuries, the metal crust is still covered with layers of buildings and infrastructure. The metal platform is suspended above the mantle of Rath, and a planetary-level gravity generator is suspended below. This generator has been used by humans. It has not been made for nearly a thousand years.

Between the mantle and the metal platform lies the fabled Balthus Labyrinth, a network of supports, electrical conduits, and energy transmission channels that connect the gravity platform to the actual surface of the planet.

"The situation in Harder looks better than what you described." Siegel can see that there are quite a few small furnaces on Harder, and the planet itself looks like, as long as there are suitable products and enough orders, Harder should recover quickly.

"There are only about a thousand small furnaces on the surface of the planet, and most of them are stopped and waiting to be scrapped." Mel mercilessly denied this. "Hard has been asleep for a long time."

"But I remember you once said that your mentor only manages a small furnace in Rath."

"If you have seen the casting director's melting pots on the other two planets, Hight and Hash, you will agree with my statement. Unless necessary, I don't want to mention Director Vajh very much." Mel led the way, They walked towards Harder's other buildings through the mechanical transmission device, "I'm just one of his nearly thousand apprentices..."

"Have you noticed those sages?" Mel used the servo arm to point out the direction for Siegel and the others. There seemed to be a mechanical cultivator over there, and he was followed by several machine servants to protect his safety.

"Only Harder's Mechanical Cultivators can do this. Walking on the land of the God of Mechanisms, they need security forces to protect their own safety."

"Everyone is putting forward their opinions in order to change Hader's status quo, but the end result is constant internal friction, until finally the personal safety of each monk cannot be guaranteed."

"Has it reached this point?" Siegel looked at Mel with some surprise.

"That's why you chose to leave, Mel." A deep voice came from the front of them.

"Murses... the sage?" Mel looked at the female Mechanicus member in front of him with a little surprise.

She was tall and slender, and compared to the heavy metal that was common to sages of the Mechanic Order, the cyber limbs of the woman in front of her seemed very light.Wearing a white holy vestment uniquely, wrapping her flimsy body.She is dexterously fiddling with her sage's cane in her hand. If it weren't for some details on the thighs, Siegel would definitely think that the person in front of her was just an ordinary person.

She is followed by several Skitarii units unique to Rath - the Scarlet Guard.

"You're back? It looks like you're ready to be promoted to a sage." Muirses looked at Mel meaningfully, "I thought you would die in the expansion area."

"I met a very good Rogue Trader, he can protect me." Mel seemed to regain his vitality, arguing with the sage in front of him without giving an inch.

"Oh, really? Then I'm really happy for you. Although the sages were somewhat prepared when they received the data you sent back, you returned to Ras instead of going to Lucius to promote the sages." It still surprises me."

"Beginning and ending, I will leave Lars at last, Muirses."

"Really, then I'm even more happy for you. After all, you don't belong here, Mel." Although the sage of Muirses talked with Mel with a smile, she was always a little distant in her enthusiastic tone. And unpleasant spikes inside.

"Tsk." Mel seemed to be at a disadvantage at this step, and she became a little annoyed: "Did you come to me just to talk about this?"

"Of course not, I'm here to find customers." The sage called Muirses walked up to Siegel, raised his head and stared at Siegel, "Are you a wanderer?"

"Yes." Siegel was a little confused.

"How many troops are there in the dynasty... the fleet of ships... what is the next goal..." Muirses threw the question to Siegel like a cannonball.

"What's the matter with you?" It was the first time Siegel came into contact with such a sage.

"She's a member of the Aluminum Alliance." Mel pushed Muirses away, and then explained to Siegel, "The members of the Aluminum Alliance are committed to restoring Hader's production status, and they are more focused on providing for Ohm. Saiyans work silently, rather than the research of technology and the exploration of ancient technology."

"That's right, a large number of furnaces on Harder went out because there were no orders, which is disrespectful to the God of All Things." Muirses brushed his long hair very femininely, "And the Aluminum Alliance is different from those Pompous explorers, we are more down-to-earth, and it is our purpose to rekindle the flames of these furnaces. So Mr. Rogue Trader, you can find me if you need anything. Whether it is military equipment or ship parts, I can provide you Excellent service well above Imperial standards."

Siegel often feels that he has seen a lot, but this is the first time he has seen a sage like a product salesman.

"You can call me Muirses, sage of alchemy. If you need to make further improvements to your Ogryn bodyguard or that gland warrior, I can also help you."

Volume II Flax: Chapter [-] A Little Gift

The contact with Muirses seemed like an episode, but it also reflected the seriousness of Harder's current situation from the side.

"Where are we going?" Mel led Siegel onto a train.They traveled along the rail traffic towards the depths of Harder.

"To meet my mentor, he is now in Ignaus Hall, which is Harder's political center and academic center." Mel and Siegel explained.

The conditions of the rail trains are average and somewhat crowded.However, the whole journey is not boring, and free food and drinks are provided on the train.

What accompanied Siegel and the others was not a boring machine servant, but a unique human being on Lath Samsung—Master Lath (literal translation: LathMaster workshop master).

A citizen of the Empire does not become Master Rath, but is who he was born to be.Hardy and tenacious workers of the world of Rath, immune to the extreme daily routine of the Forge World, they are quite different from the other mortals of Calixis.Master Rath was shorter, fatter, and stronger than the average hive, almost genetically engineered for heavy manual labor.

For oil guys, Master Las is to some extent their most satisfying product.Some small incentives can make Master Lars perform far better than those dull machine servants on the production line.

Master Russ didn't mind his height, and they were happy to clink glasses with O'Green, who was taller than the two of them stacked.

Except for Mel, the remaining three people got a glass of drink, which was a low-alcohol beer with a strong malt aroma.

Siegel also clinked glasses with an old-looking Master Las, who was telling Siegel about his terrifying strength that could penetrate ceramic steel armor.

Siegel doesn't know if it's true, but looking at the hideous muscles on Master Las' body, at least it looks a little convincing.

These Lars masters are going to work on various furnaces, and they have just finished their rest time.

Quality food, drink, rest and the right to move freely within the territory of Calixis.These things were won by the solid Lars masters in front of them. They once set off two strikes on the Las Samsung.

The first strike took place at Harder, and since then there have been supporting incentives behind the efficient production of Lars masters.

And the second strike... starts with their origins.

Master Rath's genes were modified by the oil guys, and the Empire still recognizes them as humans, not mutants.At least they do look a little more human than Leitlin or Ogryn.

But the oil guys are too satisfied with their works, and they hope to further modify the genes of Master Lars so that they can be promoted as the iconic products of Lars to every foundry world in the empire.

After all, their performance on the production line is really good.

No doubt, further genetic modification failed.After learning the facts, the Lars masters were very dissatisfied, and a new round of strikes began.

The Rath authorities launched a ruthless suppression of the strike, and 50 Rath masters lost their lives in this confrontation.
