When the Colossus-class frigate No. 1, the flagship of the Korhal Revolutionary Army Fleet, jumped out of the hyperspace channel, everyone felt dizzy.
An inconspicuous little dim yellow planet appeared on the holographic projection star map in front of the bridge, and some small green triangles represented Augustus' "huge" fleet.
Victor 5 is a near-Earth planet, most of its surface is covered with desert, and sandstorms that spread for dozens of miles ravage this little-known edge world.
Although the planet is as uninhabitable and unusually violent as possible, there is indeed a Federation colony here. In the oasis farm established by Victor 5 using underground water and artificial irrigation systems, people living there
Approximately hundreds of thousands of Tyranids.
The ancestors of these people came from the Terran Federation colonial spacecraft that crash-landed here about fifty years ago due to damage to its power system. After the initial despair, the colonists found the precious underground water system. Humanity's tenacity and perseverance made the colonies one after another.
New cities rise from desert to desert.
In the galaxy that is estimated to be about 120 light-years away from the star Victor 5 through triangulation on the star map, the red light spot is the Dalarian Shipyard of the Tyranid Federation. But in
Augustus had no confidence in capturing the shipyards until more battleships, including the battlecruiser Hyperion, joined the fleet.
Augustus knew that he only had one chance, and if he failed, Korhal would never be able to recover.
But Augustus couldn't sit in the Revolutionary Army headquarters in Korhal and wait, so there was this operation of the Revolutionary Army fleet, and he preferred to call it a military training, using Victor 5 as a raid on Delari.
A forward base for An Shipyard.
At this time, Sarah Kerrigan, who was wearing a military uniform instead of a ghost combat uniform, walked in, stood next to Augustus and said: "That's where Ghost 24718 and I set out - we were also within three months.
The Ghost Military Academy in Tarsonis has just been transferred to Victor 5. We knew nothing about this place before."
"Why does this base need so many ghost agents to be stationed, so many psykers - but it is too far away from the battlefield." Augustus looked at the slowly rotating yellow planet.
"Does the Federation want to build a new ghost academy here?"
"I don't know why, and the psychic suppressor doesn't allow me to question the order." Kerrigan said, "We just need to know what to do."
But the location of this military base is indeed very strange. The planet it is located on is too far away from the major galaxies where the Kaimorian Federation is at war with the Tyranid Federation, and it is far outside the galactic trade routes. This means that except for adventurers
No other fleet will pass here.
At first glance, it seems meaningless to set up a military base on Victor 5 on the star map, but it is located between several federal fleets. It is not so much an outpost or a military fortress.
, Augustus even believed that the Terran Federation was conducting some mysterious experiment here that must not be made public.
Putting this aside, Augustus believes that he is likely to get the technology to train ghost agents in Victor 5. He does not necessarily need these cold agents to work for him, but the research results of federal scientists on psykers are the most important.
What you really want.
This is why Augustus was determined to capture this place.
"We will soon figure out the little secret of Victor 5." Augustus said to Renault: "Jim, stop playing cards and drive the ship to low-altitude orbit."
"We want to preserve the facilities in this base as much as possible, so this is a landing battle."
"Where are my troops?" Augustus said in the bridge through the communication channel in the fleet: "Fighters of Korhal, draw and load your guns!"
"Kerrigan, you are following the anti-psionic force, the Steelling Strike Team." Augustus said, "I need you to deal with those ghost agents."
"What about me?" After Tychus collected all the money he won from playing cards, he gestured to Augustus and said, "What is my mission?"
"You come to lead the landing force on the ground to launch an attack." Augustus said: "Tychus, you come to be the commander of this force."
"When you want to destroy something, you can trust old Tychus." Tychus chuckled and left the bridge to put on his CMC-300 power armor.
While everyone inside the battleship was performing their duties and busy with their work, the frigate passed through the extremely thin atmosphere of Victor 5 and came to a huge, swirling high-speed tornado.
The holographic projection screen in front of Augustus showed that this unparalleled tornado was 60 miles high and 12 miles wide, and the military fortress of the Tyranid Federation was located in the calm eye of the tornado. Even the local residents
Don't know anything about it.
If Kerrigan hadn't told him the coordinates here, Augustus wouldn't have known that there was a Terran Federation military base on this harsh planet, and that it was hidden in a storm that could tear apart a human being.
.
"Hey boss, I've repaired the arc tanks in the Hyperion's warehouse. Now you can deploy these 'big tanks', which are all full of top tank drivers." At this time, he was on the lower deck of the frigate.
Swann's portrait in the armory appears on the screen.
"In order to deal with these storms, I spent several days adding gravity accelerators to these tanks."
"You really did it. What's the use of these new devices besides being stable in storms?" Augustus asked.
"That would be much more useful." Since Swann couldn't see Augustus's head and could only hear the voice, he didn't know where to look. Only his iconic beard was on the screen.
"The gravity-generating unit inspired by battlecruisers and high-altitude orbital defenses can be adapted to the Arclight tank with only a few minor modifications. The tank driver can increase the tank's own gravity at the push of a button.
To 5 to 6 times the original size, these tanks will not be swept away by violent storms," Swann said.
"In fact, power armor can also apply such technology, but so far it is only to allow marines to stand firmly on the deck in space environments and battleships." He continued.
"In the future, combining Umo Yang's anti-gravity technology and plasma thrusters, we may be able to realize the possibility of what you call a 'flying tank'."
"Swan, you are really a treasure boy." Augustus praised.
"Oh - although I don't understand what you are talking about, you are right." Swann looked at the screen at a loss.
Augustus smiled silently and opened his command channel.
"Repeat the battle plan. The tank troops launch an attack first, pass through the storm and destroy the enemy's air defense facilities as much as possible. After this, the landing craft will land from above the eye of the storm to deliver ground troops."
