My empire of stars

And due to the special environment of the empire (Li Mingze has absolute control over the empire), it is impossible to give birth to such a thing as pirates.

Liu Rushun only knew about pirates from film and television materials, novels and games.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Rushun is very yearning for the exciting-sounding profession of interstellar pirates, and now he finally has this opportunity.

"I choose the third one," one crew member said, raising his hand.

Liu Rushun looked at this slightly excited crew member with an expression of admiration. He was a useful talent.

"I, I. I also choose the third one." Another crew member shouted out his decision.

"I choose the second one. We should continue to move towards the target point according to the empire's arrangements!" This is a relatively rigid crew member. For him, the empire's mission is the most important.

"Are you stupid? When we become bigger, we will get rid of these civilizations. Then we can continue on our way?" Liu Rushun looked at the crew member who had different opinions with dissatisfaction and said.

You know, he intends to stay here and not leave. The goal set by the empire is too far away. It will take them hundreds of years to reach it. It is not known whether the target galaxy has enough resources to develop a colony.

In the celestial system in front of them, there are as many as twenty civilizations alone. It can be seen that there is absolutely no shortage of resources and life planets, and the surrounding asteroid sea has countless minerals.

If there weren't these civilizations here, it would be a perfect place to live!

"Okay, then I'll choose number three." After being fooled by Liu Rushun, the crew member also changed his mind.

"That's right, that's right, good boy!" Liu Rushun happily patted the man's shoulder.

A few minutes later, all the awake crew members of the Ark had voted, and those who supported Plan 3 to become interstellar pirates won by a slim margin of 52%.

Those who choose to become pirates are obviously young people who have been attracted by movies since childhood and are full of curiosity and expectations for the profession of interstellar pirates.

"Very good! I hereby announce that our Pisces Pirate Group is officially established!" Liu Rushun slapped his hand heavily on the console.

Soon, the Pisces pirate group's logo was made by a sailor who liked art: two intersecting sharks with a long sword full of sharp teeth inserted in the middle.

The entire logo consists of a black background and red sharks and swords, full of murderous aura.

It has the same purpose as the symbol of the Empire's black background, with two red planets (earth-moon system) orbiting each other, one large and one small in the middle.

"From now on, you are no longer the crew of the Pisces Ark. Now you have become members of our Pisces pirate group!" Liu Rushun said as he put on the pirate decoration he bought when he was in the empire: a black eye patch, wearing On the left eye.

Of course, this eye mask is actually a special toy with AR and night vision functions.

After the blindfold was activated, Liu Rushun took out his saber and inserted it into the table in front of him.

"All the warships have separated from the Ark itself, we are going out to plunder!"

"The Ark retreated and hid in the asteroid sea and stood by!"

"Let's go!" Liu Rushun shouted.

"Woooooo!" Everyone in the bridge shouted and ran towards the Ark's arsenal.

Unlike those crew members who took the initiative to become pirates, those crew members who were unwilling to become pirates due to various reasons, such as having families, were forcibly incorporated into the Pisces pirate group.

But considering the original intention of these people, they were arranged to engage in logistical work in the Ark.

After the first raid has yielded some results, those sleeping imperial colonists will also be awakened according to conditions.

The condition is, of course, whether you are willing to join a pirate group and engage in plunder.

Fortunately, Pisces Ark has now lost contact with the empire. Otherwise, if Li Mingze knew that an ark carrying the hope of the empire had turned into a pirate headquarters, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

However, since contact was lost more than ten years ago, Li Mingze has now put this ark on the list of missing (possibly failed).

At this time, Captain Liu Rushun, oh no, pirate group leader Liu Rushun and a group of pirate group members had boarded the battleship combined with the Ark.

(Although the two cruisers and six destroyers carried by each Ark became two destroyers and six frigates due to the empire's downgrade of the battleship level, because the Ark had lost contact before the reform, the following will be based on the old Level title.)

After all crew members had boarded, the two cruisers and six destroyers slowly left the Ark with the assistance of the Ark's mechanical arm.

The originally streamlined Ark suddenly lost several large gaps, and countless robots were busy in the gaps.

"Let's go!" Liu Rushun took out the command knife he had just printed out and pointed forward.

"As you command, my captain." After many crew members shouted teasingly, the eight battleships disappeared in the flash of light.

At the border of the Prad Empire, there is a mineral star system with a large number of mining farms.

Eight battleships suddenly appeared in this star system. By the time the defense system in this star system discovered the invading fleet, it was already too late.

The eight battleships in Ark that have been upgraded to the Empire's latest, third-generation hyperspace jump engine can already jump out relatively far from the star system.

In addition, the civilizations in this celestial system have never invented hyperspace jump technology, so the way these civilizations are on guard is to scan the gaps between the star systems.

This kind of scanning is enough for the indigenous civilizations that need to pass through the void to enter the star system.

But it is useless for outsiders like the Imperial Fleet.

When the defensive space station of the Prade Empire began to rotate the turrets, the eight Pisces Pirates warships had already reached their respective ranges.

After the special position reduced the weight of the shells, they were aimed at the Prade Empire's space station and fired.

The shield of the Prade Empire space station, which lost its initiative, was instantly shattered by the volley of the Pisces Pirates warships.

Originally, this star system was located in the hinterland of this country, and it was never expected that there would be an enemy bypassing the front line to enter the hinterland.

Therefore, the defensive space station here is just a token existence, and it can only defend against some small pirate groups transformed from civilian ships in the Prade Empire.

Faced with the powerful firepower of the Pisces Pirates fleet, this poor little space station didn't even last two rounds before being blasted into flying wreckage by the Pisces Pirates fleet.
