Extreme star field, maelstrom area, Sagan galaxy, Sagan main star
As the empire's most important trade node and tithe tax distribution center in the Maelstrom region, the Sagan system has a total of five planets, of which only four are habitable. Planet Sagan II benefits from its stable orbit, which is enough
The large planet size and relatively pleasant climate have made it the capital of the Sagan galaxy, also known as Sagan Prime.
Due to the importance of the Sagan system, during the Badab War, the two war parties broke out a fierce battle around this system. First, the Ranger warriors raided the Sagan system and carried out orbital bombing on the Sagan V world sheltered by the Mantis Warriors.
The Mantis Warriors then used a trick to lure the Ranger Warriors to the nearby Bellerophon Autumn System, and severely damaged the Ranger Warriors Chapter, killing the Chapter Master and several Captains of the Ranger Warriors.
Afterwards, the loyal side, led by the Red Scorpion Chapter, launched another raid on the Sagan system. The Exorcist Chapter destroyed the Mantis Warriors company entrenched in the system, captured the Mantis Warriors' armory and cut off the Badab.
The supply route from the star system to the Endiron star cluster prevented the Mantis Warriors from receiving support from Huron, and they were ultimately defeated without support.
As the first three pillars of the Empire in the Maelstrom, the importance of the Sagan System is self-evident. Especially after the destruction of Siniax and the fall of the Badab System, it became the only pillar of the Empire in this vast area.
The ruling fulcrum of existence.
It seems that for this reason, Sagan Prime was rarely affected by the flames of war even during the Badab War. The battles mainly took place on Sagan 4 and 5 on the edge of the galaxy.
The prosperous trade and the high attention of the Ministry of Interior make the development of Sagan Prime very different from the general world. Although it has a population of more than 50 billion and a dozen large hives, its environment has not been destroyed.
Every ten years, the Ministry of Interior spends heavily to allow neighboring forge worlds to adjust the planet's ecology, purify the atmosphere and water, and remove as much toxic substances that have been deposited in the soil for a long time. At the same time, Sagan's industry is also controlled to be basically self-sufficient.
on the basis of.
This series of policies makes Sagan Prime possess a large area of oceans, forests, plains and mountains in good condition outside the hive, which is dotted with various small settlements such as farms, towns, small parishes and the like. However, Sagan's huge
The aristocracy has long since carved up the planet. It can be said that not a single piece of land or pond in Sagan is owned by an owner, and not a single tree belongs to ordinary people.
The ruler of Sagan is the trade governor appointed by the empire. He is also responsible for managing the entire Sagan system. Although this position is lifelong, it is not hereditary. Instead, it is elected by the planet's noble council and the nominees are submitted to the Terran High Leader.
The Lord Council, and then the High Lords Council issued a letter of appointment. This process may seem of little significance, but in fact it represents Terra's declaration and emphasis on the sovereignty of the Sagan system.
However, the Badab War changed a lot. The Noble Council took advantage of that period of chaos to seize more power. The members of the Council are mainly composed of the hive ruling families and trade lords. They not only have extremely high influence in the Sagan system,
It even has a decisive power in the entire maelstrom area.
With the help of their influence on the Ministry of Interior and the corruption of various institutions of the empire, they have now almost bypassed the trade governor, and various affairs in the Sagan system are almost entirely decided by the noble council.
Among the noble councils, the most influential are the five families. Three of them are hive ruling families and two are trade lords, but without exception, they all have influence that transcends the galaxy.
But today, these pampered nobles have to be exposed to the sun at noon, the hottest time of the season.
This is the place of surrender, the legendary place where the imperial colonists first landed. Because of this sacredness, this place does not belong to any hive, but is directly under the Ministry of the Interior. It has been built into a large square and sculpture exhibition center, Sagan.
Statues of various heroes and saints born after the system was brought under the Emperor's rule are placed in the marble corridors.
Most of the time, there was no one here because the commoners had no time to get to know the emperors and generals, while the nobles were indifferent to the dead, even though there might be their ancestors among them.
But today, the place was crowded with people.
Therefore, representatives of the nobles of the Sagan system gathered in a temporary grandstand. This building stood on the edge of the square, more than two kilometers wide, with layers of seats arranged upwards from the grandstand along the base, with an imperial insignia hanging from the top.
Flags and many family tapestries.
A sturdy polymer-fiber awning was stretched over the stands to shield the dignitaries gathered there, and an electric wax chandelier hung from it.
"Give way, give way."
Arni Morales and their guards from the Morales family walked up the steps and spread out to meet their friends who were already crowded on the steps. Under the leadership of their entourage, they passed by the small nobles, bureaucrats, and law enforcement officials.
Officers, chaplains, Guard officers, Mechanicus priests and scholars.
Soon, he saw his childhood friend, Igli Madden, waving to him.
"I thought the Goldfinger of the Morales family would be absent, which is a shame."
"It's really frustrating. I was chatting about music with the cute little white pigeon in the swimming pool, and my dad dragged me out in a rage and told me that I had to come."
Arni Morales curled his lips. Wearing a red dress, he looked very handsome with red lips and white teeth, attracting the attention of many aristocratic girls nearby.
Morales is a well-known ruling family in the hive city of Sagan Prime. It is also one of the five giants of the Noble Council. The family has a close relationship with the State Church and the Astrology Hall. Even Arni's mother is from a noble family.
Clerk Sister, and in addition to their daily governance, their family also needs to assist the Astronomical Hall in collecting the tithes of psykers.
"Little White Pigeon? That singer who has gained some fame at the Golden Beng Theater in recent months? Didn't she say that she comes from the slums and is very cold? You have got it now. I also said that I would go and see it in a few days.
.”
Arni Morales smiled and shook his head, took out a mirror and straightened his smooth red hair.
"There is no such thing as a cold woman. It all depends on your mind and skills... By the way, I heard that you and others were racing in the bottom nest a few days ago, but the route went wrong and killed a group of scavengers. Has the matter been resolved?"
"Damn it, I got angry. That's a custom-made supercar from Angstrom! I just drove it for the first time and it was completely scratched. It took three days to clean up the blood and bones. I'm so sorry.
I wish I could skin them all alive! Then have their mourning bastard family members thrown into a dark pit."
Hearing this, Arni Morales frowned slightly and closed the mirror.
"Why bother? After all, they are all human lives. After all, it was you who made the mistake first. Just give them some compensation."
