Halsain is a garden in the territory of the Tyranid Federation.
This planet belongs to the edge world. It is a young colony and is not among the thirteen worlds that originally formed the Tyranid Federation. Halsain is not a beautiful planet with poetic scenery, and its climate cannot even be called so-so.
Suitable for human habitation.
But like many newly developed planets, Halsain is full of development opportunities. Gold and spices are buried in the land, and milk and honey flow in the rivers.
The land suitable for farming in Hailsen is so fertile that people can grow endless fields with golden wheat waves swaying in the sun and vineyards all over the mountains without fertilizing. The food produced here can easily satisfy the needs of people on the planet.
necessary for living and providing wheat, soybeans, corn, and meat to at least three nearby colonial worlds.
Heilsain's wine is world-famous, and famous wineries around the world are the oldest buildings and culture of this young colony. The planet also produces brandy and ale, and is also a holy place for alcohol lovers in the Tyranid Federation.
Although it is classified as an edge world, Helsain is geographically very close to Tarsonis, even closer than the main star of Vadona, which means that the route to the main star world is always open. This also provides Helsain with
Unimaginable development opportunities came to Mar Sara and other backward and marginalized worlds, and the rapid development greatly accelerated the modernization process of this colony.
When the combined fleet of Augustus jumped to the planet Helsin, the planet was already well known as a developed emerging world.
In Helserne, dense urban buildings of modern steel and glass coexist harmoniously with fertile farmland. When the harvest is approaching, rows of green-painted combine harvesters begin to push past under the command of drones.
Golden wheat fields with mountains of grain.
Half of the inter-system enterprises and technology companies in the Tyranid Federation have branches in Helsain, and many companies rank among the top in terms of market value.
For those in the Terran Federation who cannot survive due to oppression and unfair treatment, Helsain is definitely an ideal place. In Helsain, as long as you pay careful attention, there are job opportunities everywhere. What is commendable is that
, as long as they work hard, people who immigrate to Hailsen will receive matching rewards.
The universities in Heilsain are praised for their rigorous academic philosophy and world-famous scientific research achievements, which also means that the children of Heilsain people can get a good education.
For such newly colonized planets, there is never a shortage of hope.
But that was before the swarms arrived.
"Pass my order, the airdrop will begin after the next round of orbital bombardment. Alpha Squadron will be the first force to land in Helsain and fight the zerg, followed by the Mysterious Rock Legion in the Port of the Dead, and then Rondstair.
The two divisions of Reno's Rangers were therefore assigned to the third attack echelon...the Guards Division was left in reserve."
Augustus walked quickly through the long corridor of the Norad 2, and the tapping of combat boots echoed in the corridor for a long time. Only Lieutenant Kerrigan and Corporal Faraday followed Augustus, Jim
·Reynaud must command his own brigade.
"Our friendly forces are the Protoss ground forces, including several Zealot legions and a large number of Dragon Knight mechas. The Dark Templar will also provide assistance to all human friendly forces they see." He said.
"This is just a small zerg invasion, and their numbers are nothing compared to what we encountered on Mar Sara, Antiga, and Char. We will win again - as we always have."
"We are righteous, and that's why we always win when we face evil enemies."
"The commander of this battle is me, I am Augustus, and I am with you." Augustus said in the commander's channel as he walked.
After passing by a group of hurried technician sergeants again, Augustus arrived at the dock launch bay of Norad 2, where Wraith fighter jets and apod transport ships were heading towards the starry sky outside the ship.
When Hyperion was further upgrading its weapons system, Augustus once again used the former Alpha Squadron flagship Norad 2 as his flagship. The predecessor of the Hyperion was just an ordinary Federation Behemoth-class battleship.
Cruiser, while Norad 2 is completely built based on flagship standards.
Norad has a larger and more complete crew cabin, power cabin, dock and medical cabin, and its weapons and armor are also more advanced. Although after more than three years of continuous upgrades and modifications, the performance of the Hyperion has exceeded
Norad 2, but the latter is still the first choice for the fleet flagship.
Through the porthole on the side of the dock, Augustus could see the two Revolutionary Army battlecruisers parallel to the Norad 2. They were hundreds of miles apart, which was by no means a close distance.
Unseen by Augustus, Tassadar's protoss fleet was anchored in geosynchronous orbit on the other side of Halsain.
"The federal garrison deployed in Helsain was engulfed by a swarm of insects in a wheat field an hour ago. The highest-level commander there completely lost contact with its command center." Kerrigan opened his own page at this time
He carried a data terminal and reported to Augustus.
"Are they crazy? At this time, they still dare to fight against the Zerg in an area without any fortifications as support." Augustus sighed. I have to say that at least the courage of these federal soldiers is worthy of respect.
"Obviously, they have stepped into a trap carefully designed by the brain worms - the bait is a small city surrounded by siege, which houses the most important local pharmaceutical factory." Kerrigan shook her long fiery red hair.
explain.
"Many of the founding families of Tarsonis are investors in this pharmaceutical company."
"I thought they were going to rescue civilians." Augustus shook his head.
"I shouldn't expect federal troops."
"In addition, Tassadar's fleet has destroyed 90% of the main nest and the zerg entrenched in it as planned. The remaining steps are much simpler." Kerrigan continued to report.
"What about the loss of the main town of Helsinn?" Augustus said: "I just read a report on this a few hours ago, but that was only a few hours ago."
"The situation is much worse now. Nearly a third of the city of Helzen has been lost, and the zerg are slaughtering unarmed civilians. Whether they are men, women, old or children, they kill everyone they see." Kerrigan continued.
"The zerg seem to have figured out that humans depend on the ground beneath their feet for a living."
"It's urgent." Augustus sighed, hoping that Duke's Alpha Squadron had landed at Halsain.
At this time, a group of revolutionary soldiers wearing heavy armor walked past Augustus. Their armor was an upgraded version of the Firebat CMC250, using Umo Yang's armor reinforcement frame and refined alloy steel.
The design of the armor, hydraulics, gravity compensator and dual reactor generator set allows the servo system to more easily drive this set of power armor, which is heavier than an ordinary cmc.
These powered armors are truly behemoths, giants among individual powered armors. Their helmets abandoned the matte visor design and replaced them with prototype helmets with cross-shaped viewing ports. The mechanical palms used to grip the rifle were completely
Replaced by the agg-17 grenade launcher, this grenade launcher is not the latest design of the revolutionary military industry, but is just a larger and thicker upgraded version of the federal old agg-12 grenade launcher.
The No. 12 grenade can destroy dozens of zerg gathered together at one time, but its upgraded version undoubtedly has even more amazing power.
Hiram Fick, the Firebat Power Armor's designer, was the final architect of the armor, and he also received valuable advice from masters such as Rory Swann and Victor Kaczynski - to
Ensure that this armor is closer to what Marshal Augustus Mengsk dreamed of looking like.
It is said that when selecting a suitable grenade launcher for this heavy type, Chief Engineer Swan did not have many options in front of him. For a while, he even had to use the Vulture's AGP-2 grenade launcher for testing first.
Although the grenade launcher also possesses considerable power, Swann still believes that it is as unreliable as the Vulture itself.
In the stage of designing prototype weapons, more novel designs were also proposed, such as installing a railgun on the new armor, but this proposal was ultimately shelved due to technical and financial issues, probably only by the wealthy Yumo Yang.
Talent can mass produce this armor.
All in all, the team of Swann and Fick can definitely try some more attractive combinations, but for now, the revolutionary army needs a standard weapon that can field troops on a large scale rather than a costly mascot.
The stainless steel armor and amazing firepower undoubtedly make it the first choice to deal with the Zerg Thunder Beast and Protoss Dragon Knight mecha on the frontal battlefield. This armor was considered an epoch-making progress when it came out. It can destroy more enemies,
This means that more soldiers and people will be saved.
Augustus named the armor the 5-4 Marauder Powered Armor to commemorate the armor's official finalization and production on May 4 - but some records indicate that the marshal apparently got this date wrong.
Since then, soldiers wearing 5-4 power armor have also been looted.
The Marauder powered armor is very popular among the Revolutionary Army. Compared with its popularity, the small number of trial-production Wolf Armor equipped with the main force is nothing but yesterday's news.
When the top officers of the Revolutionary Army announced the launch of the Marauder Armor at the Army Equipment Headquarters, they almost broke their heads fighting for this power armor. They always had their own reasons. Army General Lundstein believed that such a weapon of war should be
Belonging to his troops, Duke of the Navy belittled this armor while taking more orders.
As for Harnak Hunk of the Firebats, he spent most of the time in the Navy and Army bickering about how fucking cool this thing is.
Now, hundreds of sets of Marauder powered armor have been issued to the Army and Airborne Division troops to make up for their lack of heavy support firepower on the battlefield. On the battlefield, ordinary soldiers can completely rely on the firepower of the Marauders.
With heavy armor, he stood firm against the frontal impact of the Thunder Beast.
"I have praised the contributions of Fick and Swann more than once." Augustus watched the pair of marauders walking past him, and in his ears they heard the sound of their huge anti-fall boots stepping on the metal alloy.
Sounds from the ground.
Since the last time Augustus saw Swann in the armory, the design of the new armor had been unexpectedly rapid, almost entirely completed while the Hyperion was still in hyperspace.
"You were really elated at that time." Kerrigan smiled and said to Augustus: "I have never seen you so happy since the zerg invasion. You spent half an hour praising you.
Engineer Corps, talk about the value of Marauder armor."
"Each of them is a hero." Augustus said: "And I am just lucky enough. It happens that these heroes are willing to listen to my opinions."
"This is not because you are lucky. You found each of them one by one from places light years away." Kerrigan said: "This sentence is enough to be recorded in the marshal's quotation, waiting for you to become famous all over the world.
, all the Tyran people are talking about it."
"What quotation?" Augustus was surprised.
"No such thing." Faraday quickly denied.
"..." Augustus did not stay on this issue for too long. In his opinion, it was simply an irrelevant matter.
Not long after, another group of distinctive soldiers ran from the other side towards the transport ship parked in the dock. Nowadays, exoskeleton armor and light combat uniforms are rare among the main force of the Revolutionary Army.
Each of these soldiers wearing light combat uniforms and chest armor has a huge turbojet backpack on their back. The jet uses refined high-energy gas as fuel and can jump hundreds of feet with a single jump after activation.
in the air. An experienced wearer can also use the jet to force him to fly in mid-air, gliding over buildings and people.
This is also a design from Hiram Fick. A few years ago, he designed a powered armor that can assist airborne troops in landing, and the Tyranid Federation also has a more complete design.
Fick has improved the armor, abandoning the heavy armor and using a powerful turbo backpack to provide power. Even after improvements, this combat suit and jet pack are the weapons that cause the most non-combat casualties to the wearer.
A soldier who is determined to wear this combat uniform and go into battle as an airborne force must go through extremely rigorous training to control it. Only the most experienced Death God of the Revolutionary Army can perfectly fall from the sky above the enemy's head.
Augustus unoriginally called the only company that has always been equipped with this combat uniform the Death. The number of the Death Company has always been maintained between 400 and 500, and they only recruit the best veterans and recruits who have experienced many battles.
A fearless master of extreme challenges.
The Death Gods of the Revolutionary Army will carry D-type explosives, P-25 electromagnetic pistols and electromagnetic rifles. They mainly continue assault and reconnaissance missions, and are also known as the Death Gods of Augustus.
When the Death Gods of Augustus were thrown into the battlefield, that also meant that that was where the fighting was most intense.
