Warhammer, Rogue Trader Notes

The three glasses of brandy tapped together again, wishing them success in their next move.

It is no coincidence that the Tyrant Star: Calixis sector is populated by a strange and recurring phenomenon: the "ghost sun" phenomenon.A gigantic "black sun" that matches the prophesied description will mysteriously appear from time to time—without determining a specific time interval—at different locations throughout the star sector.

The Ghost Sun's visit is accompanied by psionic disturbances, geological upheavals, and social problems, including mass riots.

The Inquisition of Calixis formed an organization of the Tyrant Star Masters to counter the Tyrant Star's influence on the Imperium.

Volume Two: The Storm of Flax: Chapter [-] The Tyrant's Advisors

He and his "partners" have completed the meeting and preliminary planning. Siegel still hasn't set off. The reason is that there are still many components to be installed on the Golden Ship, such as the teleporter he brought back, and a brand new church. .

After all, she promised Remulle back then.

So Siegel decided to give her the whole big one.

Siegel carefully selects the "Santa Delus" type fully automatic Emperor's Temple. The height of the temple is about 45 meters. It is basically the same appearance as the temple on the surface of the empire planet, with a Gothic dome and a huge emperor's icon.

Religious resources needed for missions are stored inside. For example, religious murals are drawn on the inside of the dome of the church, statues of saints are placed on both sides, and miscellaneous small objects, such as holy water, communion, and holy promethium.

In addition to this, several state relics are housed (the brooch of St. Drus, the Holy Word of St. Cognatius, and the phalanx of Ajieta).

The temple can accommodate the prayers of nearly a thousand believers.

Of course, these alone cannot be called automatic temples. The reason why a temple can be called automatic is that it can be separated from the starship and airborne to reach the surface of the planet through orbit.

Integrated life support and small void shields allow the Temple to operate on extremely hostile planetary surfaces.This greatly facilitates the missionary's work, although Remulle may not need this skill.

Retrofitting takes about a month.

It just gave Siegel time to deal with family affairs, and also gave him time to be troubled to find him...

When Siegel got off the plane and was about to return to Foster Manor, several Throne agents directly blocked his way.

"Your Excellency Foster, our master wants to see you, come with us." The leading acolyte of the trial court showed his rose knot.

"Tell me it's the judge, and then I'm deciding whether to go with you or not." Siegel didn't give the Throne Agent any face. If a judge was here, he would be polite, but it doesn't mean that he is polite to the court. The acolyte can tell him what to do.

The other party seemed a little surprised by Siegel's lack of cooperation.

"This is the judge's order."

"So? It's strange that your Inquisition Roseknot isn't working, is it?"

"Siegel! Forget it, don't embarrass him." Not far away, a typical middle-aged man got out of the car, watched the farce at the airport exit, and shouted at Siegel.

The middle-aged man has short messy hair, wears a judge-standard wide hat, and wears a metal breathing mask on his face. Under the leather coat of the court is a master-crafted fiber carapace.A silver metal chain was wrapped around his body, fixing the rose knot of the trial court, the book of judgment and various props to himself.

The Inquisitor, Vonus Cade

.

He took off his breathing mask, took out a Rajo rod and lit it, and waved away the acolytes of the Inquisition.

"Let's go, I will explain to your master." Vernus's words finally made the Throne agents leave here. The judge looked at Siegel, blew his nose vigorously, and then said: "It has been a long time Nope, Siegel."

"Get in the car first." Siegel sent away all the members of the dynasty, and then turned to look at Vernus, "Who are those acolytes?"

"It's against the rules, Siegel, but judging from their attitude towards you, the 'noble', it's obvious whose acolytes they are."

"That lunatic Skain." Siegel cursed in a low voice.

"Don't say that, Inquisitor Skaine has performed her role very well and will continue to do so."

Astrid Skaine, a judge from the Ministry of Justice, has always focused her attention on those corrupt nobles.

Siegel is one of them.

"You seem to have become stronger." Vernus looked at Siegel and said this suddenly.

"Physical fitness has become stronger, but swordsmanship is still the same."

"You are blue, I should have asked you to be my acolyte." Warnus sighed.

Siegel didn't give the other party a chance to continue, "If that's the case, you won't be able to teach me swordsmanship."

"So what do you want from me?"

"It's not that I'm looking for you, it's that the court is looking for something to do with you..."

-

In a secret room on the middle floor of the hive capital Sibelius, the black cloth on Siegel's head was removed.

He rubbed his eyes to adjust to the light.

In addition to the Inquisitor Vonus who brought him here, there is another person sitting here. He has a scarred, funny, and swollen body, with a huge life support device on his back, which can only be maintained by two ridiculously short mechanical legs A posture of combat power.

"Ah, this is the Rogue Trader that Skaine is investigating?" The man spoke, his voice seemed to be stuck in a mouthful of thick phlegm.

"I'm Judge Globus. Like Vernus and Ils, we are all purists." He wanted Siegel to introduce himself.

"I'm just a little rogue trader, I don't know what you need from me."

"I think the Calixis Imperial Fleet may have some objections to your self-effacement, but we are not discussing these things here." Globus didn't seem to notice how tortured his voice was, maybe he did. I don't care when it arrives.

"We have no interest in what you and Joan Kun are planning. We only hope that you can do the trial court a favor."

"Two Inquisitors are probably not representative of the Inquisition."

"That is to do us both a favor." Vernus showed his old rascal's spirit to the fullest, "We hope that you can take a group of Inquisitorial agents to Zillman's territory after the next departure. "

"What can I get?"

"Because you and Jon Kun are making a big splash to stop the dynasty fleet on the star port of Sintila, some interested people have noticed what you seem to be planning to do."

"For example, our colleague, Ms. Skaine, if you can help us with this, Vernus and I will help you stop the court's investigation of you and your dynasty." Swallowing the phlegm, the voice finally became audible.

"I don't seem to have any room to refuse." Siegel heard the other party's overtones. Since the two judges can block the investigation of the other judge, they can also help the investigation of the other judge.

"I don't care what happened on Zillman, I will leave after sending the trial court team to Zillman. So, no matter what happens to your special agent team on Zillman, it has nothing to do with me." Siegel leaned back in his chair, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the two judges in front of him.

"Deal or not."

Volume Two: The Winds of Flax: Chapter [-] Jean Bart

"Tyrant's Star Intelligence Group..." Foster Manor, Siegel watched the servants tending the garden of the manor from the balcony, and the plants cultivated by the Eldar reflected various lights in the sun.

Vernus wanted him to go to Zillman's territory, which meant that it was true that the Tyrant Star had appeared in that galaxy.

The empire is like this. There are some things that Siegel knows but pretends not to know. The Tyrant Star is a cloud over the Calixis sector, and the Inquisition does its best to cover up the existence of the Tyrant Star.

Even if its existence is already an open secret in the eyes of some people.

Siegel didn't want to get involved in the issue of the Tyrant Star, and he was even a little worried that Ilse would be a member of the Tyrant Star's brainstorming group.

If you look at Ilse's influence, she probably meets the criteria to join it.

With the few records of the Tyrant Star that have been circulated outside, Siegel felt endless troubles, and Zillman's territory was not at all on the way they had to go to Scarus.

It is impossible for Siegel to change the original route of the huge fleet of the two dynasties because of this matter. All he can do is let the group of trial court agents take the dynasty's transport ship to their destination.

After making up his mind, he watched Sanduo Laxi leading a man in the uniform of a naval officer into the Foster Manor. This is the guest he will meet today. This meeting will determine the captain of the Zhongshan Celebration .

Siegel stood up and returned to the reception room, waiting for the visiting guests.

Jean Barr.

Sandolaxi quickly brought the other party to the reception room, and Siegel leaned on the sofa and looked at the former admiral in front of him.

The other party has long brown hair, which is combed into a high ponytail and tied behind her head. It can be seen that the navy uniform has been cared for without any creases. Judging from her somewhat casual sitting posture, this is not easy.

On the contrary, Siegel's sitting posture was more formal. He suddenly smiled, and felt that the positions of the two parties seemed to be reversed.

Siegel didn't care about this. The reason why he maintained his demeanor at first was to make himself look like a serious pilgrim, and later to warn the various religions and tricks encountered during the expedition, while maintaining his majesty in front of his subordinates.

After all, Rogue Traders are not the real generals of the empire, and they can't get too many high-quality soldiers. If you want to make the sailors in your ship like armies, you need to spend time and effort to raise them slowly.

And considering the frequency of Siegel's replacement of sailors, he also put out his thoughts on cultivating a group of high-quality sailors.

He originally thought that this time might be an opportunity, after all, a starship instructor would have stricter discipline requirements.

But seeing Jean Bart's appearance, Siegel thought that her commanding skills must be very good.

"I'm Jean Barr, a starship instructor at the Sintila Naval Aviation Academy."

"Sit down, Major General Jean Barr." Siegel looked at Jean Barr's information. The other party was the commander of a Gothic-class cruiser before and commanded a squadron of the Imperial Navy. Strictly speaking, she was under Siegel Doing things is condescension.

"I think Sandory has already told you that a Lunar cruiser of the Foster dynasty lacks a suitable captain, and she recommended you to me."

"I know, but I haven't decided whether to agree." Jean Bart was a little cold about this, "I still have a chance to return to active duty in the Imperial Navy."

"Of course you have a chance. Although the Imperial Navy has always been in a state of many people and few ships, there are not many generals like you who are good at fighting." Siegel complimented the other party, "I have a man who was originally from HNA. Squadron leader, if he serves under your command, he probably won't be humiliated by the Eldar pirates."

She does have a record of fighting off Eldar pirates, though only once.

The main xenos threats facing the Calixis Sector are those of Chaos and the Greenskin Fleet.

Siegel didn't talk about raiding several Rogue Trader Dynasty formations on her resume to expand the fleet's strength.

Siegel doesn't believe a word of the records in her personal file about these rogue traders' dynasties, but it's useless to ask about it. The extremely prosperous cold trade in the Calixis star region cannot be separated from the rogue traders.

No Werewolf Trader had a clean bottom, neither Siegel nor Jon Kunthor.

"Can I take a look at the configuration of that Lunar-class cruiser first?"

"Here, the bow of the ship is a standard Mars-type torpedo tube, equipped with a powered ram, 8 Yangyan-type laser macro cannons on each side, and the core is a Jupiter-style 4.5-level 'war cruiser' engine." Siegel will The basic assembly of the Zhongshan Celebration was handed over to the other party. If it was a dream trip, Siegel was very confident that the other party would agree.

"cargo hold……"

"I'm also a rogue merchant. Whether it's goods or money, there must be a place to put it." The Zhongshan Celebration does not have too many extra components with complicated functions. The idle space is converted into two additional cargo holds, so that she can There is more storage space.

Jean Barr nodded clearly, and she continued to look down at the parchment in her hand on which the configuration of the Zhongshan Celebration was written, and remained silent for a long time.

Siegel just looked at Jean Bart in front of him like this, and just when he felt that the matter was about to blow up, the other party said again: "I can join your dynasty."

"Are you sure you're ready to serve a Rogue Trader?"

"Of course, it's better than dying of old age in the Naval Aviation Academy." Jean Bart said bluntly, her high pony tail swaying slightly with the movement of her head, "It's not even a serious naval academy, I don't plan to Rotten here."

"Besides, it's a good ship, Zhongshan Celebration? It's a good name."

Siegel thought for a while before realizing that the good ship she mentioned did not refer to the configuration of the ship, but the description of the soul of the ship.

The situation of Zhongshan Celebration's machine soul is described in more detail on the parchment. The ship's machine soul is full of curiosity and the courage to explore. The Auger matrix on her ship can exert a detection performance far beyond its own technical parameters.The ship itself, like the Golden Journey, is also a master of deception. In the face of detection from enemy ships or inspections by imperial officials, she can hide some little secrets in the depths of her ship.

"I like this ship, there is a kind of intimacy." Jean Barr and Siegel explained, "Although I still don't know the style of the Foster family, but whether it is smuggling to aliens or operating a cold trade route, I can accept it."

"...my business is mostly serious." The other party seems to have misunderstood the business of the Foster family. Siegel felt that his business was serious. The most serious ones were extortion of the empire's colonies, smuggling of alien items, and reselling of empire assets. .

At least he hasn't mixed up yet.

"If you don't hesitate, I'll believe it."

Volume [-]: The Wind and Cloud of Flax: Chapter [-] Trivia Before Departure

A month is fleeting, and the fleets of the Siegel and Jonkun dynasties have completed preparations to set sail, and one of Foster's transport ships has already carried a team of court acolytes to Zillman's territory. After the transport mission, the ship will go to the outer sub-sector of Calv's frontier planet, where the fleet will rest and head to the Scarus sector where Vraks is located.

Siegel had planned to meet Governor Harkos this month, but he didn't get what he wanted.Tranch's rebellion involved the star governor's considerable experience, and the incompetence of the local PDF also made him firmly believe that the formation of the Holy Grail Military Department was the right choice.

The Foster dynasty took away some of the students who originally belonged to the Foster family from Sintila's nautical school, and they will form three Fury Squadrons, three Starhawk bomber squadrons, and a Shark Assault aboard the Golden Ship. boat squadron.

The rest of the space belonged to the large transport aircraft loading and unloading, a squadron of Valkyries, and a squadron of Marauder bombers.

The configuration of the Golden Ship can be regarded as an attempt by Siegel. His performance of aircraft carrier warships such as the Sole Carrier class and the Mars class in deep space exploration is more guesswork brought about by his own experience.And to what extent their performance can reach, it needs actual combat to prove.

In addition to the goods, Siegel also took a group of criminals from Sintila's prison, and they will serve as sacrifices to the emperor as the White Silk Cultists who are active on the bottom deck of the Golden Ship.

While Siegel's sailors were loading the ship, the Death Cultists were playing battle royale with the death row prisoners on the bottom deck.

"I don't know why you prepared so many gas masks and medicines." Jon Kun watched Siegel's sailors move the gas masks and medicines full of containers into the cabin.

"Should I prepare some too?"

"You can prepare some, and be prepared, although I think you will have left Vraks by the time you need this thing."
