Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

The sage Mel was assigning various tasks to his apprentices, and then the main members of the dynasty left the ship.

Siegel was planning to see the outfitting of Dynasty ships at the airport, but he met an unexpected person at the airport.

"Sandolaxi?" Siegel looked at his dynasty butler. The fact that she appeared in the airport really surprised him.

"Master Siegel?! When did you come back?" Sandolasy was also surprised to see Siegel. She probably had a pleasant smile on her face, but her slightly ferocious hanging eyes spoiled her expression clean and dry. "I thought it would be a while before you returned to Cintila."

"What are you doing here?"

"Eh..." Siegel was a little hesitant when she saw Sandolaxi, and she said to Siegel immediately: "A group of nuns from Dawn Monastery are going to arrive in Sintila, and I am waiting for them here."

The corner of Siegel's mouth couldn't help but twitched, "How many nuns are serving the family now?"

"More than 70 nuns of various types, counting this group, there are about 90 nuns of various types serving you and your family. There are currently 42 nuns in Sintila, and the rest are distributed in Calixis The main trade node in the star area."

[This has become the practice base for the nuns of the Orthodox Church, right? 】

"By the way, the outfitting of the three cruisers of the Dynasty has been completed." Sandolaxi took the initiative to bring up the topic, "You wanted to see the new ships of the Dynasty, right?"

"Yes, I got some new ship components and want to install them on the golden ship, she is now the flagship of the dynasty." Siegel said nonchalantly: "The Golden Journey has been converted into the mechanical ark of the sage of Mel .”

"!" Siegel's tone was as casual as if he was giving a flower, but the content in it startled Sandoraixi.

But after she saw Mel who was following Siegel, she agreed with Siegel's statement.

"Dream Journey seems to be different from the plan." Siegel looked at the Lunar-class cruiser on the berth. Originally, the two Lunar-class cruisers were the same, only the internal functional components were different.

However, from the current point of view, the lance deck of the cruiser Dream Tour has not been replaced with a macro gun battery.

"The news from Cypramundi said that the original dream trip was requisitioned by the Obscure Starfield Navy. In order to catch up with the construction schedule, the local sage dug out a moon-class hull from the hulk pile. Temporary work, and the torpedo tube and light spear team on the ship..."

"They dare not dismantle..." Sage Mel looked at the light spear deck of the Dream Journey with piercing eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, these are the Xingyao light spear and the plasma-accelerated torpedo tube."

"That's right," Sandolahi added the following words to Mel: "They are all products of ancient technology."

Volume [-] of Flax: Chapter [-] Holy Grail Military Affairs Department

"Those engine oils... can the sages of the Mechanicum give me this stuff for free?" Siegel looked at Sanduo Laxi with some surprise.

"Of course not, so when the two cruisers arrived in Sintila, the Mechanicus took a large fortune from the family. Quite a large sum."

"Oh shit, the emperor's lungs." Siegel became unhappy for a moment. He estimated the funds circulating in the dynasty's account and asked, "So, are you going to sell the family factory or Sibelius?" The family manor was sold?"

"Nothing. Thanks to His Excellency Eugene's generosity, including the subsequent outfitting of the Golden Ship, he also provided a lot of help."

Well, Siegel scratched his head, it's okay to say that he owes money, this favor is undoubtedly owed.

Of course, he can't blame Sandolaxi, how big the pot is, how big the rice is, and it's Siegel's problem to find the source of this matter.If it weren't for Siegel's insistence on playing such a trick with Flax, the Dynasty would not have lived such a tight life.

"Okay, the sages of Cypramundi didn't cut corners on the additional equipment of the ship, did they?" In fact, Siegel has little interest in those light spears and torpedo tubes.

The additional equipment on the Dream Journey ship is a good thing. He is very clear about which senior naval officer was appointed to take a fancy to the original configuration of the Dream Journey.

That's what led to it.

Compared with the configuration of the golden ship that focuses on combat command, the additional equipment of the Dream Tour is designed around the core of the fleet battle output.

For example, additional Auger arrays for battlefield information countermeasures, subspace divination components to improve torpedo hit rate, auxiliary contemplative arrays to improve artillery performance, and assault damage control components to improve hull and armor performance.

Strictly speaking, the value of these is not much lower than the importance of the ancient weapons on the ship. The design idea of ​​the whole ship highlights that it can carry and fight.

"Mel, can you estimate the difference between the current output efficiency of Dream Tour and the original plan."

"The upper limit has been increased by 10.14%, but the output stability has increased by 22.31%." As soon as Siegel finished speaking, Mel returned the specific data to him, "I don't know what the original Dream Journey Machine Soul looks like, But just look at the ship that is currently parked in the port."

Mel touched the observation window of the airport and told Siegel about her discovery.

"Her machine soul is very violent. Even without the link, I can feel that her machine soul is always in the throes of rage. Only the fiercest battle can vent her inner rage. Her desire for battle is far beyond the golden journey, It will even affect the various data of the hull in non-combat situations."

"Okay, I think she will soon usher in the battle after her new life." Siegel simply put aside the situation of Dream Journey, and turned to look at Zhongshan Celebration not far away.

"Is there any problem with the Zhongshan celebration?"

"No, no, the Zhongshan Celebration was completely arranged according to the configuration we planned." Sanduo Laxi vowed to Siegel.

"That's good." Siegel turned his head and asked Mel, "How is the state of the machine soul at Zhongshan Celebration?"

"Hmm... a reckless, unscrupulous girl in sheep's clothing. How would you describe it?" Mel summed up the situation of the Zhongshan celebration in a simple sentence, "If you don't want her machine spirit to steal and play tricks, drive her ship It is better for the commander to command the ship with clearer instructions."

"Gretia," Siegel turned his head and asked Goretia standing behind him, "Choose one of these two ships to be under your command."

Captain Void was originally a candidate for captain. When the captain was unable to drive the ship, Captain Void would be in charge. Geletia left the family flagship to command a cruiser alone. Becoming a captain also means being promoted from a candidate for captain to a candidate for fleet command.

"Let's go on a dream trip."

"Okay, for the Zhongshan celebration, I will choose a seasoned and prudent sailor from the peripheral members to serve as the captain." Siegel looked at the members of his dynasty, "Or, does anyone of you plan to introduce a captain to me?"

Those who were present were only Sandolasy who might recommend some candidates from the nuns.Siegel was just saying that at first, but looking at Sandolaxi's appearance, she seems to have some candidates.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sandolaxi smiled a little embarrassedly, and used his hands to brush the hair from his temples.

"I wanted to recommend myself for a moment, but I do have a suitable candidate." She paused and said, "After the letter of introduction from Governor Harkos was sent to Sepulmondi, the Naval Academy there sent A group of instructors went to Sintila. In addition to the instructors of the naval aviation, there is also a starship instructor. I asked the other party's information. He used to be the commander of an Imperial Navy cruiser. He lost a battle due to the previous The military exploits are not overly pursued, but they still retreat to the second line to teach and educate people."

"What's his name?"

"Her name is Jean Bart."

-

Although he was very interested in the specific situation of the new captain, Siegel did not go to see the starship instructor immediately.

Things have to be done one by one. He first arrived at the trade center of Sintila, the hive capital of Tarsus, through the orbital elevator.

"So how much do we owe Eugene and the Colleen family now?" Siegel asked Sanduo Laxi quietly from the side.

"No, the dynasty's finances are very healthy, and I have already paid off our debts with the Colleen family." Sandolahi instead gave an answer that surprised Siegel, "There is still a balance of funds within the dynasty. I just bought a new land not long ago to build a factory."

"Where did you get the money?" The gold on Siegel's ship has not yet been recorded, so the money in Sandorah's hand is the profit made by the factory during this period. The problem is that the factory doesn't have that much profit at all.

"Arms, all the ammunition we accumulated in Xintila have been sold."

"?" Now it was Siegel's turn to be stunned, who has the ability to eat such a large batch of munitions?

"Governor Harkos, just half a year ago, a new department was established in the Calixis sector: the Holy Grail Military Affairs Department. The army under the Ministry of Military Affairs is recruited according to the standards of the Imperial Guard and is directly responsible to Governor Harkos. The purpose is to ensure that Military security of the Calixis sector, overseeing a possible PDF mutiny."

"The establishment resolution was forcibly passed by Governor Harkos, and Marshal Gorman of the Ministry of Justice bluntly stated that this new department is a tool for rebellion. Subject to political pressure, Governor Harkos is only on a few planets within his core sphere of influence. Formation of the force is complete."

"Among them, the backbone of the Military Department of the Holy Grail in Sintila was drawn from the four regiments of the Foster family. In order to raise the required ordnance, Governor Harcus ate all the munitions we had on Sintila, Still not even enough."

"What about the reaction of the Imperial Guard?"

"According to rumors, the commander of the Calixis Imperial Guard was very dissatisfied with this. After the formation of the troops was completed, the political commissars of both sides shot each other's officers."

"Hiss." Siegel couldn't tell how he felt now.

-

The author is out of coins. Some people doubt that the two components in the last chapter are the author's work, but they are not.

Star-Flare Lance

The Star Spear is a dangerous relic made during the peak of human technological strength in the Dark Age of Technology.The gigantic lance is powered by an incomprehensible power source that keeps the beam focused on the target for a sustained period of time, sweeping across the enemy ship.

Plasma Accelerated Torpedo Tubes

Some Forge Worlds produced high-quality weapons and spaceship components in the early days of the Imperium, even the torpedoes are now lost to humanity. "Plasma-accelerated" torpedo tubes refer to a type of torpedo launch system, not a specific model.This weapon system uses the plasma from the ship's engine to "hot launch" the torpedo, while the built-in guidance system will continuously update the target information for the torpedo's machine spirit. Equipped with multiple reinforced adamantium-alloy explosion-proof hatches , they are even more secure and reliable than their counterparts.It could store 16 torpedoes, and four more if the captain didn't mind keeping the torpedoes "in the tube".This component gives the torpedo extra acceleration when launching it.And increase the torpedo hit rate.

The Holy Grail Military Department mentioned in this chapter also exists in the Calixis sector.

The Second Volume of Flax: Chapter [-] The Past of Calixis

When Siegel arrived at the garrison of the family's troops, the empty warehouse also proved Sandolahi's statement.

General Kellerman hurried over after receiving the news that Siegel had returned to Sintila. Siegel was a little surprised that this general who was good at drilling camps did not use the Holy Grail Military Affairs Department to raise himself to another level. .

Instead, nestle here with peace of mind and be an ordinary planetary defense force general.

Originally used as the basis for the establishment of the Holy Grail Military Affairs Department, there is a natural and good relationship between the four planetary defense forces controlled by the Foster family and the two departments of the Holy Grail Military Affairs Department.

The particularity of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Holy Grail makes the military rank and position of its officers inherently higher than those of the Planetary Defense Force.

Several of General Kellerman's children entered the army one after another, and those one or two who stood out became mid- and low-level officers of the Imperial Guard, while the rest served under him.

Not only did Kellerman himself not enter the Military Department of the Holy Grail, the children who worked under him also felt at ease to develop under the hands of the Planetary Defense Force.

This also reflects from the side that the establishment of the Holy Grail Military Affairs Department is not optimistic in the eyes of most insiders.

Faced with the complicated political situation above Sintila, Siegel could not provide General Kellerman with more career space.

However, General Kellerman didn't care. Instead, he recommended his two sons to Siegel, saying that he reported the wrong major at the Academy of Loyalty and learned a lot about the Imperial Navy, so it was useless to stay here.It's better to follow Siegel and still be able to use what you have learned.

Siegel knew that Kellerman was leaving a way out for himself, and it was better to stay on the Imperial Guard and Siegel's ship than to stay in Sintila.

It can be seen that the tit-for-tat situation between the Military Affairs Department of the Holy Grail and the political commissar of the Imperial Guard really frightened the general who is over eighty years old.

Following Siegel or the Imperial Guard can at least die on the battlefield, and the soul returns to the Emperor's side; with luck, it may also take root in other star regions or worlds.

"In fact, the personal character of Governor Harkos has become more and more extreme." Sandolahi told Siegel about what happened in Sintila and the Calixis star area in the past few years, "Dawn Monastery several times Any attempt to increase the number of serving nuns for Governor Harkos was rejected by him."

"What's more serious is that the assassination of the nuns under Governor Harkos has also become rampant. In order to ensure the power of the nuns on Sintila, a battle nun belonging to the Ebon Holy Grail is currently stationed in Siberus. Fandir's remnants still threaten the Empire to this day."

Siegel frowned as he listened to Sandolesh's words, "Temple Radicals?"

The Temple of the Emperor's Salvation, the faction of the state religion that Fan Dier belonged to during the apostasy era. After Fan Dier's death, his forces scattered like birds and beasts.With much of the reckoning of the Age of Redemption gone, the rest lay dormant on the borders of the Empire.

These van Dier legacy are now known as "Temple Radicals".

"That's right, and there's the shadow of the Isstvan faction behind it." Sandolahi said sadly, the enemies of the empire in Sintila and even the Calixis sector are pushing their own evil in the shadows plan.However, the efforts of various departments of the empire only eradicated the little icebergs exposed to the sea.

No one knows what kind of behemoth is buried under the calm sea.

What's more, the sea was not calm in the first place. On the way Siegel went to meet Jongkun and Eugene, Sanduo Laxi continued to talk about the situation in the Calixis star area after he left.

"In 807, there were rumors that the star of the tyrant [Note 1] appeared in the galaxy where Zillman's territory is located, but the court denied it. Then there was a mutant rebellion in Trange. Before that, Ms. Iles Leaving Cintila, she may have gone to Trange. Governor Harkos ordered that the rule of the Trange Empire must be maintained, and the dirty lairs of mutants must be destroyed, and the expedition to quell the Trange rebellion has been continued until now."

"The news of your return to Cintila is estimated to spread among high-level officials soon, and the Imperial Navy and the Tribunal should contact you."

Sometimes Siegel feels that he might as well spend his whole life on the ship. Every time he returns to Calixis, it is a brainstorm. Can't he give him some good news?

【I look at the human empire, it is about to end...】

To avoid being frostbitten by the extremely low temperature in the wealthy area of ​​​​Tarsus.

When he stepped out of the elevator, members of the Colleen family were already waiting at the door.

Siegel boarded the car of the Colleen family and headed towards Eugene's private house.

-

Every time he saw Eugene's private house, Siegel couldn't help feeling that those who were engaged in business were not as profitable as those who worked in finance.

Eugene, a fat man, lived in extreme luxury. Flowers blooming at tens of degrees below zero were planted in the yard of the manor, and the servants were all wearing furs.

A large number of servants take care of the daily life of Eugene and his illegitimate son.It's a pity that even though there are many lovers and illegitimate children in various senses, Sally has not taken Eugene away so far, and Siegel knows that Eugene may not have much accomplishment in the pursuit of desire.

Without using the butler to lead the way, Siegel walked directly into Eugene's study room. Eugene and Jon Kun were sitting by the fire, stretching their feet towards the fire, warming their whole bodies, and holding ice cream in their hands. Brandy.

The two were chatting, and when they saw Siegel walking in, they hurriedly called him over to enjoy the fire.

Eugene dragged his fat body and poured Siegel a glass of brandy.

"I thought it would be a while before you came back." The three lightly clinked their glasses, and Joan Kun said to Siegel cheerfully, "Have you heard about Trange?"

"heard."

"It seems that the war will continue for a while." Jon Kunthor sat obliquely in his seat, turning his head to look at Siegel awkwardly, "You said that you have access to the Scarus sector for free Obtaining a large amount of arms, not to mention whether it is reliable or not, how will you pass the trial court?"

Jon Kun knew very well what Siegel meant by calling him, and it was nothing more than seeing the huge capacity of the Saul Dynasty.But Qiongkun knew that if the matter of the military supplies that filled his own fleet was leaked, it is estimated that both of them would be burned to the stake.

"As long as we can ensure that this batch of arms will not flow into the hands of those cults, I guess the trial court will not pursue it. However, the Imperial Guard may have some troubles, but it is not impossible to operate. If you feel unsure, why not send the equipment to Give it back to the Imperial Guard, and the Guard will still owe you a favor at that time."

"As for whether this matter is reliable, you might as well go and have a look with me. At worst, I will compensate you at the market price."

"Hey, don't say that. Everyone is doing business in the expanded area, and mutual support is the truth." Qiong Kun slapped Siegel haha.

Siegel's words about the Imperial Guard moved Sol a little. After all, he is not short of money. If he can get through the Imperial Guard, it will be even more tempting for Sol.

The arms transferred from Vraks will not only be stored in Sintila, but also stored in the storage planets of the two dynasties.

Except for the parts used by the two dynasties, this batch of arms was handed over to Eugene.He used the influence of the Colleen family to sell the arms to the Imperial Guard or the Planetary Defense Force.

Or simply sell it to some industrial world, and they'll pay the stuff back to the empire as tithes.
