StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 547 Federal Zionism
This pirate ship is more than one grade better than the Bedford. It is a light cruiser with a wide deck and a grand and bright bridge.From the appearance, the light cruiser is shaped like a long and flat nautilus, the armor on the side of the ship is covered with layers like threads, and the elongated tail smoke of the propeller is shaped like glass blue tentacles.

In the interstellar era, non-low-Earth orbit dual-purpose interstellar ships will spend in space from the completion of construction in the orbital shipyard to the completion of their lifetime missions.Therefore, these spacecraft do not have to follow aerodynamics or be constrained by the constraints of planetary gravity, and the extensibility of the imagination of human engineers has been fully reflected.

A spaceship can be a delicate work of art, or a square container with cold lines, it's up to the designer.

And even in a critical light, Cyrus was a beautiful ship.She was smaller than her cousins ​​who served in the Imperial Navy fleet, and was used more as a transport than as a capital ship.

The Cyrus light cruiser is equipped with ion thrusters (Ion thruster), heated combustion chambers, Titan nuclear reactors and third-generation warp speed engines, all of which are cutting-edge technologies in the interstellar space industry of this era. It is the latest Minotaur-class battleship Cruisers can't get around these technologies either.

But judging from Easter's observations along the corridor in the ship, the state of this light cruiser is not very ideal, otherwise the remnants of the Federation who have been reduced to pirates will not be able to fish from the tattered ships of the interstellar merchants. Components.

The hull of the Cyrus has obviously suffered heavy damage, and the power supply of some cabins has not been restored to this day, and the burned cables and screws are floating in a weightless posture.It can only be a higher-level warship that can cause such damage to the Cyrus.

Looking out from Cyrus' ship, you can also see more than a dozen Griffons flying around the light cruiser.

This highly maneuverable light space fighter is equipped with amazingly powerful Talon missiles, mainly used by Ke Morian pirates and mercenaries.Although it is difficult for Talon missiles to pose a threat to capital ships, the large-scale Griffin still cannot be underestimated.

It can be seen that the Cyrus once belonged to a certain fleet of the old Tyrannian Federation, and the crew were all soldiers of the Tyrannian Federation.Now the fleet is likely to have been completely destroyed, and the remaining ships are useless.Who would have thought that the federal soldiers who sang songs of justice and glory in the past turned into pirates.

In any case, the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Marcus Quigobai, was satisfied with the status quo.Although the conditions are difficult, it also reflects the tenacity of the revolutionaries.

Augustus Mengsk said that revolution is a long march.

"Foss, we shoulder the great mission of subverting the empire and reviving the federation. The federation, a great democratic system, has dominated Tyrann humans for more than two centuries. It should continue to be maintained without a doubt."

Kuigobai took Easter through the hangar and lower deck of the Cyrus, through the life support cabin and reinforced alloy steel structure engineering: "Augustus Mengsk, that beast will not be too arrogant. It’s been a long time, and I can’t be more sure of that.”

Pirates wearing light green shirts walked past the aisle of the Cyrus from time to time. They were all muscular, their arms and thighs were full of muscles, and they had shiny bald heads. Except for their appearance, they seemed to be made out of a mold .There were smiles on the faces of these pirates, and they only responded to Kui Gebai's password.

Resocialized soldiers, evil products of the evil dark age of the old Tyranid Federation.Emperor Augustus Mengsk ordered the closure of almost all the resocialization factories, leaving only two remaining for the execution of the most heinous prisoners.

Easter knew that the resocialized soldiers were created to cope with the high death rate and low enlistment rate during the Guild Wars, but the crime of the Federation was that they would also brainwash and transform citizens who were not criminals.

The resocialization project is an inhumane and immoral cruel plan, and now it has become one of the crimes of the Tyrann Federation's inhumane crimes.If a person loses the memory of the past and is transformed into a resocialized soldier who obeys orders, the past him is actually dead.

"Sir, what should we use against the Imperial fleet? Even the United States of Umoyan dare not provoke the Empire." Ever since Easter entered the Cyrus, the voice that had surfaced in his brain consciousness never appeared again. .

But Easter believed that it could never be an auditory hallucination.

Easter guessed that it should be an imperial ghost agent, and no matter how the imperial ghost got on board, at least it shows that the empire has noticed the situation here.

Suddenly, a new sentence appeared in Easter's mind: My child, I am Theodore Pierce X20991N, the ghost agent, and the empire is with you.

Hearing this, Easter had a bottom line again.

In the name of Emperor Augustus I, Stilling Military Academy cadet Estelle Foss swore to the death allegiance to the Empire.

Hearing Easter's words, Kui Gebai twitched his thick brush-like eyebrows, and the small eyes below swept the young man who couldn't see the situation displeasedly: "There are so many Koprulu star regions, how can the empire control them?" .”

At this time, the pirates had evacuated the Bedford and were about to return home.This gang of poor and crazy pirates has plucked too much hair, and even the solar panels on the ship have been pulled out.

All the crew and passengers on the Bedford were also driven to Cyrus and locked in a dark cabin. Among them, the strong young men and women were the new recruits of the pirates. Unknown.

Abandoning the Bedford, which had lost power, the Cyrus soon started again and was ready to leave.The Tyrann Empire has a police force dedicated to defending the shipping lanes, and patrol ships of the Empire may appear on such important shipping lanes at any time.The most important thing is that if these policemen feel that they are not opponents of pirates, they can also call the Imperial Navy fleet.

Every empire star province has at least one fleet composed of naval squadrons, and each fleet is armed enough to destroy the planet.

By the time Easter followed Kuigobai to the control room of the Cyrus, the light cruiser had already entered the hyperspace channel.

"Is there any movement?" Kui Gebai asked the operator as soon as he entered the control room.Everyone in the control room is wearing the coffee-colored Confederate military uniform, with past ranks on them.

Kui Gebai is a person who pays attention to details to the point of pathology, and is used to adhering to every rule and regulation of the old federal army one by one.He is not only strict with himself, but also will not be lenient towards others.

Therefore, the pirates on the Cyrus still abide by the regiment regulations of the past-at least from the appearance, this is still the Confederate army of the past.The Commonwealth is dead, and here are the broken pieces of its dead soul.

On board is another small society, the small kingdom of Marcus Quigobai.The son of the former federal admiral was still living in the past years, when he had a bright future, and he wouldn't be like a bereaved dog like he is today.

"Sir, the sensors have locked on the three heavy gun cutters of the Imperial Waterway Law Enforcement Officer, and more Imperial spaceships are coming." An operator replied: "There are still 30 miles to the Cyrus. mile."

This distance is already extremely close on the scale of space, but Cyrus' advanced warp engine is enough to escape before these law enforcement ships catch up with him.

The Imperial Enforcer is almost the most troublesome figure for bandits and pirates. They are either Imperial veterans or natives recruited from the colonies near the route.Many underappreciated local law enforcement officials in the federal era have also been reused.

"Give them a lifetime and they won't be able to catch up." Kui Gebai said so, still urging them to start the jump engine quickly.

A Heavy Gunship is a slender, rugged looking ship.During the development of the Wraith, this ship was a competitor to the new fighter.Although the heavy gunship is inferior to the wraith fighter in performance and lacks firepower, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary pirates and interstellar traders who break the law.

Many of the development stages of new weaponry remained on the drawing board or were not ready for the army on a large scale for other reasons, but some were mass-produced to equip the colonial militia, police department and other departments.

For example, the Wyrm, which can transform into a land-based mecha, appeared earlier than the Viking fighter. They have more powerful firepower, but lack the Viking's solid armor and fast transformation ability. .Later, the imperial equipment department was redesigned to cancel the ice dragon deformation mechanism and focus on air-to-air combat. Today, this fighter is widely equipped in the imperial navy to supplement the lack of air superiority firepower.

As the Cyrus entered the hyperspace flight state, the control room fell silent again.

Marcus Kuigobai took off his power armor, and pulled out a blue cane from nowhere, looking like an old federal aristocrat.He first ordered someone to make a cup of hot tea for Easter, and then let him sit in an unused driving seat.

"Where are we going? Lieutenant Colonel." Easter didn't understand the reason why Kui Gebai was so friendly to him. He could see that this was an arrogant man in his bones. His temper was not violent, but he was very friendly towards his subordinates. Very harsh.

Immediately Easter thought of those resocialized soldiers, and realized that Kui Gebai might be trying to train himself.The lack of autonomy of resocialized soldiers means that they lack the necessary judgment on the battlefield, so it is very necessary to train officers who can command these soldiers.

"You'll know when you get there." Kui Gebai still couldn't help showing off, he didn't think Easter would reveal this secret: "Of course you don't know, our base is near the Viridia route .”

The path of the Cyrus has been constantly changing, as if it is going in circles, and the correct route will only be entered after it is confirmed that no one is tracking it.

"In my father's time, there were countless military bases in the Tyranid Federation." Kui Gebai sighed: "Since the empire wiped out us, there have been fewer and fewer bases."

Then, Kui Gebai talked to Easter about his time in the Federal Marine Corps, but he spent a lot of time talking to himself.

This paranoid former federal officer mentioned the glory of the Federation over and over again, and everyone except Easter must have heard the callus.And as long as Easter said that you are right, my lord, Kui Gebai felt very satisfied.

The days of hiding in XZ seem to have suffocated Kui Gebai. He used to be a vain and showy person, and his mouth was always restless.

He doesn't allow others to be ignorant of his achievements and what he has done in this damn place all these years.

When Quigobai talked for the seventh time about his wise and mighty general father and how he died tragically at the gun of Jim Raynor, Cyrus finally broke away from the hyperspace channel.

An asteroid in the asteroid belt at the edge of an unknown galaxy appeared on the control panel. It was much larger than Cyrus and was racing towards the edge of the galaxy at a speed of nine miles per second.

When the Cyrus landed on this asteroid, Easter realized that the group of Federalist nationalists had almost completely hollowed out the interior of the asteroid, and now it is the stainless steel structure that supports the huge interior space.

This military base is full of all kinds of materials that these robbers have looted everywhere. They have their own military factories, heavy factories and shipyards. Thousands of Federal Zionists are living and working here.

The Federal Restoration Movement has a large number of supporters within the Tyrann Empire. They are either blind patriots, or they are inextricably linked with the privileged classes in the past.Among them, there are people from all territories and planets, but the Tarsonis are not the most among them.

Many people think that the people of Tarsonis hate the Empire the most, but this is far from the truth.

The Tyranid Empire destroyed the aristocratic system at the top of Tarsonis, and the wealth of those classes accounted for 90.00% of the entire planet, and Augustus made these nobles spit out their wealth.

In the age of empires, the life of the people of Tarsonis was much better. Monopoly capitalism was swept away, and the people at the bottom had further opportunities.The effects of decentralization have turned Tarsonis into a satellite world of Korhal, a thriving economic center.

"That damned woman never thought we were hiding under her nose!" Kui Gebai got up and invited Easter to visit the base:
"This is the starting point for us to rebuild the federation, gathering the federation elites from all the planets near Viridia."

Easter probably guessed who the woman Kuigobai was talking about was Grand Duke Dorothy Mengsk, the ruler of the Star Province of Veritya, and the sister of Emperor Augustus.

Dorothy Mengsk, the Flower of the Empire, was known to the people of the Tyranid Empire for her beauty and awe-inspiring skills, and they loved her as her elder brother.Easter also has a picture of Dorothy Duke, which, he has to stress, is not uncommon for any adolescent Imperial male.

Only when Easter actually stepped into the artificial gravity field of the asteroid could he realize the size of this federal base.At this moment, captured people are constantly coming out of the gangway on Cyrus' side, and the number far exceeds the number of people on board the Bedford.

Why are they arresting so many people?
"This is the biggest military base I've ever seen!" Easter wowed, and Kui Gebai was very satisfied with his appearance of a countryman who had never seen the world.

"Very good." Kui Gebai nodded gratefully, and said to Easter: "I want to raise you as my child, Fox, you will become a federal hero."

"Before that, you need to be tested by telepaths. Over the years, the empire's undercover agents have been pervasive, and we have executed many people." He patted Easter and said:

"Of course, I know you must be on our side."
