Cthulhu Sector, Amada Star Sector, Turasis Galaxy.
Turasis II, Fort Howe
On the slightly old wooden bar, a "radio" with its internal structure exposed was playing intermittent news.
"[Zizi——When the 'Clone Rebellion' incident is about to complete a Terran year, the rebels in each sector have been basically eliminated. The confidence of the Federation of Terra -Zizi, please do not -
Zizi——panic.】"
“[Below—ZiZi—Reporter from the front—ZiZiZi—]”
"Ha, even internal communications can be interfered with. Do you want people not to panic?" After the radio could only transmit white noise, followed by a low and slightly magnetic man's mocking voice, a big hand with thin calluses on the joints
Turned off its power.
"Jim, if you say this outside, you will be imprisoned." The middle-aged bartender in a waiter's uniform behind the bar commented without looking up while wiping his glass.
"Really, that's really bad," the man called Jim put the wine glass to his mouth nonchalantly: "Maybe it will be the Minmatar clone troopers who let me out later."
He looks less than thirty, with a medium build and strong muscles. He is wearing a white T-shirt and overalls. He has a short cut on his head, a slight stubble on his chin, and sharp facial features that make him look a bit ferocious, but he has a pair of
Her beautiful lake blue eyes diluted this feeling.
"I think it's more likely that they just blow up the solitary room." The bartender took out a new cup.
"Hey, just what you said-"
Boom boom boom boom!!
Accompanied by a series of violent explosions with almost no intervals, the entire small bar shook for a while.
"Tsk, it seems it's time to get to work," Jim drank the remaining wine in the glass in one gulp, stood up and left: "Old rules, keep accounts."
"Be careful, I hope you remember that you have paid next month's salary. If you die casually, I will suffer a big loss." The bartender gave him a "blessing" from behind.
Jim made an "OK" gesture without looking back, then folded up two fingers, leaving only his middle finger, and then walked out of the tavern.
Almost at the same time, another series of explosions came from the air.
"Well... after consuming the anti-aircraft firepower, it's time for airdrops and ground advancement." Jim looked up at the series of intercepted and air-exploded missiles, shrugged and walked towards the barracks.
Jim's full name is James Quill Raynor, and people who are familiar with him generally call him Jim Raynor.
He belongs to the 321st Legion of the Tyranid Federation stationed at Fortress Howe, and is the commander of the "Demons of Heaven" special force directly under the Legion.
As a natural person, Jim Raynor has neither a bad feeling nor a good impression of the Tyranid Federation's actions of squeezing clones. Therefore, he also has a general impression of those sectors that rebel or become independent for the rights of clones. The reason why he joined the Federation army is just because
He hates pirates.
When human beings have discovered a whole new world where you can gain something as long as you work hard, those who still choose to get something for nothing and become pirates and rob their compatriots have absolutely no value in saving and transforming them.
Turasis is a border system between the Amarr Sector and the Minmatar Sector. It has only two planets, and the two star gates in the system are also very close to each other, so pirates often appear at this time. The Howe Fortress was built on the second planet to suppress piracy here - the first one was a gaseous planet.
To suppress piracy in an ordinary galaxy, an orbital space station must be built on a planet close to the star gate, with defensive firepower, drone hangars and scanning arrays installed, and regular patrols carried out. Even so, it cannot stop pirates or Smugglers quietly build hideouts on a planet in the galaxy or even in the "dead space" of the asteroid belt.
But Turasis is different. Since the two star gates in the system are too close and there are no asteroid belts in the system, a well-equipped ground fortress can do all the work.
The governor of the Turasis system is Lieutenant Colonel Javier Vanderspool. At first, he was happy that he did not have to pay high maintenance fees for the space fleet and space station. However, after the "Clone Rebellion" occurred, he was I was shocked to find that I was trapped on the surface.
The root cause of the "Clone Rebellion" is the oppression of their clones by natural people. The grudges have been fermenting for several years, but the direct cause, or the trigger, is what happened in the Kohal system in the Amarr Star Territory. The Federation mobilized a Thousands of "Apocalypse"-class strategic nuclear bombs carpet-bombed the planet, and the cause of all this was just Governor Korhal's declaration of autonomy in order to safeguard the rights of the local clones.
Afterwards, the Korhal system was completely blocked by the Tyranid Federation, and no further official news came out. The news spread through the grapevine was messy. Some said that the planet was completely blown to pieces - which is obviously nonsense, and some said that the planet was now completely destroyed. It's a radioactive wasteland - this is possible, and there is also talk that Korhal activated an ancient artifact to protect the entire planet at the critical moment - how did the person who spread this talk open his mouth?
The only thing that is certain at present is that Arcturus Mengsk, the son of Governor Korhal, was not on the planet at the time. He had formed a mercenary team called the "Children of Korhal" to look for Tyranids everywhere. The Federation was in trouble, and the Federation was overwhelmed by the rising rebellions in various places and had no time to capture him, so it only issued a reward.
After the "Korhal Incident", the originally fragile Federation fell apart instantly. Currently, only the Amarr Star Domain and the Armadar Star Domain, the core star domains of the Tyranid Federation, still obey the orders of the Capital Star, while the Minmatar Star The Gallente Star Territory, the Caldari Star Territory and the Jupiter Star Territory have all declared independence from the Federation. In addition, various illegal organizations and pirates in the outer low-security areas have randomly divided the territory, and the entire Cthulhu Star Territory is in chaos. It became a pot of porridge.
As the outposts between the Minmatar Star Domain and the Ammatar Star Domain, the Turasis System and Howe Fortress bore the brunt of the attack by the Minmatar fleet.
If this fortress is the legendary "Maginot Line", it would be fine if the invading Minmatar fleet could directly ignore and bypass it, but it is a planetary fortress cannon built to prevent pirates from sneaking through the star gate.
But it could not be ignored. Pointed at by such a cannon, the Minmatar fleet that broke through the outer defenses of Turasis did not dare to use the star gate in front of it, for fear of being shot and torn into pieces during the jump. In the end
I decided to remove this thorn in my side first.
However, since the purpose of Fortress Howe was to deal with space pirates, its anti-air firepower was naturally extraordinary. It was almost impossible to decide the outcome through a battleship's main gun attack. Therefore, after the two sides were in a stalemate for a period of time, Mimata
The Er fleet chose to land on the other side of the planet and began to establish a surface base to launch a ground battle with Fortress Howe. This ground battle lasted for a whole year, so that good young people like Renault turned into old men.
