StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Early February 2492, Ansadar City.

Antiga Prime is synonymous with the first contact and war between humans and aliens. Before it was almost completely destroyed by the Zerg, it was also a desolate place with a dangerous environment among many people.

——General Edmund Duke would say: Poor mountains and harsh waters breed unruly people.

This planet with dotted red mesas, vast deserts and extremely salty oceans can only support very little life. Just like other Tyranid human colonies with harsh environments but still among the colonies, Antiga Prime must have The reason why his unique advantages enabled the colonists to establish settlements here despite enduring harsh conditions.

Huge amounts of metal and mineral resources, abundant reserves of high-energy gas, or soil suitable for planting. The advantage of Antiga Prime lies in its extremely rich mining resources.

Centered under the Antiga Ticol forest and the surrounding ore-rich mountains, precious mineral resources and highly valuable Adeen crystals are almost at your fingertips. The resources spread across the Delta subcontinent are enough to support one or more industrial centers.

Early the next morning after returning to Antiga Prime, Augustus set off from the Governor's Palace in Ansadar and took a Revolutionary Army Fox Hunter armored vehicle along the city's main road to the Antiga Alloy Armor Foundry.

The factory is located in Gaspar Satellite, a newly founded city named after a revolutionary second lieutenant who died in the Battle of Antiga, and whose story is enough to bring tears to anyone who hears it.

As soon as Augustus returned to the governor's office in Ansadar, a mountain of work report documents were waiting for him to finally read and sign. These clear words and authentic data allowed Augustus to understand the tremendous changes in Antiga Prime, but he was still prepared to see the city and its people with his own eyes.

In the early morning, the goose-yellow sun has just risen, and the wind carries the smell of cold rust. Augustus, wearing a thick dark gray military coat, discovered when he walked out of the Governor's Palace that although Antiga barely met the conditions for human survival, it was still better than Hagi, which was accompanied by hurricanes all year round. At least the climate was better. Much more stable.

Sarah Kerrigan stood on the right side of Augustus with a smile on her face. She was wearing a long-breasted hand-knitted sweater, the same style of Revolutionary Army coat, and a pair of small and exquisite leather boots. .

A heavy armored vehicle painted in red camouflage was parked under the steps of the Governor's Office, and the marshal's guards with live ammunition were standing around it. The original Antiga Governor's Palace faced the Central Park of Ansadar, but now high walls, automatic turrets and missile towers were erected around it to ensure that no enemies would break into it.

Every few dozen minutes there would be a not-so-bright meteor shower in the sky over Ansadar, which was a transport ship entering the atmosphere from a synchronous orbit. When Augustus raised his head, three Wraith fighter planes were roaring over the sky, their orange propeller tail flames bright and shining.

Augustus saluted the Wraith fighter jets flying through the sky, and then walked towards the armored vehicle.

"Good morning, Marshal, everything is normal in the Antiga Galaxy today." Corporal Faraday stood next to the armored vehicle and opened the door for Augustus: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Yes. Faraday, let's set off. I'm going to have a look at the mining base in Stickler Forest in the afternoon." Augustus smiled.

Augustus and Kerrigan sat together in the back seat of the Foxhunter armored vehicle, while his captain of the guard, Corporal Faraday, drove the marshal himself as usual, a responsibility that could never be easily delegated to others.

The armored vehicle drove out of the Governor's Palace and drove all the way along Ansadar towards the western part of the city.

Augustus didn't like the grand way of traveling, but the necessary security measures were still very important. A class of Marshal's Guard soldiers riding vultures followed the armored vehicle Augustus was riding in to escort him.

The central park outside the Governor's Palace has been transformed into a square open to everyone, and the rare flowers and plants inside are still specially maintained by people. In the middle of the park stands a crimson flag with a golden five-pointed star, powerful arms and a whip.

The central city has not changed much from the past. After all the bugs and creeping carpets have been cleaned up, most of the buildings have been renovated. The high-rise buildings and glass curtain walls shine brightly in the morning sunlight.

Most of the people walking on the streets in this area were uniformed Revolutionary Army soldiers, engineers, and people working at Ansadar City Hall, and then Augustus saw the reopened shopping plazas and stores.

This area was even more prosperous and bustling with people than before the invasion. A large number of refugees from other fringe worlds who have arrived in Ansadar are trying to find a foothold in the city through their talent and diligence.

The main roads are crowded with high-end and stylish hover cars, Volkswagen-like cars that drive close to the ground, and large transport vehicles transporting goods. Since it is now the season when all waste is waiting for planting, many rusty cultivators and planters are driving from one end of the city to the other.

The driver's seat and the hood behind these large agricultural machines with steam emitting from their tails were filled with farmers carrying tools. They were dressed in various colors. The immigrants from Martell IV were wearing thick clothes and auxiliary breathing masks. , because it is a planet full of high-energy gas springs, and the air composition is quite different from Antiga.

The Minara people wear thinner clothes, and their home is an ocean planet with a pleasant temperature.

The Altera people with lavender eyes have always kept a distance from other people. This is because their hometown is always a stone town filled with a large number of criminals and criminal groups. It is a place where pirates, spies and other religions mingle, and it is also a federal transportation. It is a temporary transition point for dangerous criminals. When walking on the street, you must always be careful whether someone will suddenly rush out from behind and stick the barrel of a gun into their mouths to snatch money.

But no matter what, these people with different identities and backgrounds are all sitting in the same car at the moment, and they are now called citizens of the Republic of Tyran.

The closer he got to the outskirts of the city, the more Augustus could notice that made him particularly happy.

With every mile we drove from the city, more and more new houses and factories were built. They were fixed buildings built of pipes and metal stilts, mostly light gray polygonal domes in the Antican style. The brown-white buildings are factories and newly built modular residences, used to house those who have just arrived in Antiga and cannot find a house.

As the capital city of Antiga Prime, Ansadar was once built on the ruins of an ancient civilization on a dry ocean. Even among the Tyranid human cities, there are few cities that can match its history.

Under the control of the Revolutionary Army, Ansadar has become a prosperous and enterprising city. All kinds of people were forced to flow into this city due to the Zerg invasion and settled here. Its earth-shaking changes did not surprise Ogu. Stu's surprise. In some ways, the threat of a zerg invasion is far more useful than laborious propaganda.

Among the refugees pouring into Ansadar are a large number of skilled technicians, outstanding architects, engineers, teachers, doctors and people from all walks of life. They are tough and tenacious and will not be acclimated to the alien world. , because its original home may have been a much more sinister place than Antiga.

The culture of these refugees from other planets may be somewhat different from that of the Antigonians, but a few generations would not be enough time for the differences to become significant.

Approaching the factory, the first thing Augustus saw were brand-new low work sheds and rows of rectangular houses stretching for several miles. The huge vaulted buildings roaring in the distance were storage warehouses for raw materials and finished products. A large number of twisted and interlaced pipes constitute heavy factories under construction, gas refineries and transportation hubs with heavy trucks.

At the center is Ansadar's second airport. The interstellar port shaped like a tall pointed beak is surrounded by cargo ships that are about to take off and land. Thousands of feet long giant cobalt-blue transport ships continuously transport crystal mines collected from the Anti satellite and the asteroid belt to the smelting factory, and then deliver the finished products to the interstellar port in synchronous orbit.

The Anti Processing Industry Center, which inherited the Korhal IV industrial system and technology, can produce everything from small and delicate electronic components to alloy armored hulls for battlecruisers. Most of the products are used to supply the industrial chain within the planet and equip the Revolutionary Army. Other products, such as explosives for mining mines, are sold as far away as the Camorian Federation.

In addition, souvenirs made from Zerg limbs can also be sold at high prices within the territory of the United States of Umoyan.

The Fox Hunter armored vehicle with a crimson flag on the rear drove at high speed along a north-south main road and entered the interior of the industrial residential area. When Augustus saw the flow of people on both sides of the road through the rear window of the armored vehicle, he immediately became confused. Densely, hundreds of port workers wearing light blue and light gray overalls are riding industrial park buses or walking on foot.

The workers who saw the armored vehicles were actually not very curious. The Gaspar Industrial Zone directly supplies the Revolutionary Army armored forces and the orbital shipyard. It adopts strict military control, and an entire brigade of the Revolutionary Army's 7th Division is stationed next to it.

Augustus remembered that the last time he sat in an armored car and watched passers-by through the window was four years ago in the city of Korhal IV Stillling. At that time, he clearly remembered that his father Angus had eagerly He called every Korhal he met his own people.

This also corresponds to Augustus’s original intention of forming the Pan-Taylon Nationalist Party. Whether they are Korhals, Tarsonis, Antiga or Mar-Sala people, one of the most important prerequisites is that they are all Taylan people. The Revolutionary Party wants to unite all Tyran people and establish a new political power based on this.

It has to be said that Augustus actually didn't care much about how he lived. He could cope with a luxurious lifestyle and accept a simple life. But when he saw that the people he called his people were at least happier than before, Augustus felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. He enjoys seeing his people happy and sees it as his duty.

"Stop, Faraday." Augustus shouted, and the car stopped steadily on the side of the road next to a series of low-rise modular houses. Rows of close-knit houses are separated by pedestrian walkways more than ten feet wide, filled with workers on their way to work.

When Augustus stepped down from the armored vehicle, people walking by immediately recognized him as Augustus Mengsk, the current actual ruler of Antiga Prime. His cold gray hair and eyes and other The weathered dark gray cloak is the most distinctive feature.

Of course, the main reason is that the large poster next to it shows the portrait of Augustus waving and leading the soldiers, with the slogan: Unity, union, and federal freedom are not the freedom we want, fight for the future!

There were whispers in the crowd, but Augustus noticed that not all of them were praises for himself. Some people were saying that Marshal Mengsk was really wise, brave, wise, and mighty. Some people were asking tiredly about the guy who looked attractive. Who is the gray-haired boy? I hope this guy will not find some extra work for them.

But regardless, Augustus received a warm welcome as he walked towards them.

Augustus asked where these workers came from and their living environment and working conditions, telling them that once the interstellar trade voyages with the United Umoyan United States and the Kemorian Commonwealth were completely connected, the current situation would definitely be improved.

The workers passing by were still full of gratitude to Augustus and the Revolutionary Army. They originally had nothing, but the Revolutionary Army saved them and gave them a bite to eat. The workers here are all war refugees from other planets. For them, just continuing to live is the greatest luck, especially since the life in Antiga is actually better than what many people lived before.

Antiga's factory conditions are based on Korhal IV standards. Not to mention unparalleled in the edge worlds, they are much better than most of the federation's core worlds.

After the Gamu Swarm and Sutur Swarm evacuated Antiga and the Antiga Defense War ended, the planet seemed to be developing for the better. People's livelihood has been restored, and the prosperity of a large number of light and heavy industries linked to military industry orders and the influx of a large number of foreign labor have brought about more than just economic recovery.

In fact, this is entirely an opportunity for Antiga to develop rapidly. She was on the verge of destruction due to the war between humans and zerg, but now she is thriving because of it. The population of Antiga Prime continues to expand. In the "census" of the Revolutionary Army, the officially registered population exceeded thirteen million people the day after Augustus arrived on the planet.

The massive influx of people did not lead to disorder. Strict militarized management and a strong crackdown on crime erased all unstable factors. Antiga Prime was more than just a refugee settlement, it had the laws of Augustus who arrived from Korhal IV and those who enforced the laws with blood, passion, and love for the people.

There are many young idealists and passionate youths in the revolutionary army. What they lack most is enthusiasm for work. Augustus would call these people people of faith.

The large number of garrisons and fleets also make Antiga Prime the safest planet in the Zerg invasion star field - if it were not under the control of the "rebels", then those who fled to Antiga would still be there. Much more than now.

It is precisely because of this that Augustus and the revolutionary army will be considered the saviors of Antiga. A planet that was supposed to be destroyed by the Protoss after the Zerg invasion instead became a sanctuary, which should be attributed to the Revolutionary Army.

Augustus took Kerrigan and Corporal Faraday as they walked through the crowded workers' residential area, and saw not only the muscular workers but also their families. Outside the industrial park is the attached school, where teachers have fled to Antigua.

Children are going to school in groups against the direction of the crowd. Children in marginal colonies are very independent. They carry school bags with revolutionary army emblems on their backs, sing songs as they walk, carry candies in their pockets, and have hope in their eyes.

Seeing them smile, Augustus smiled too. Only Kerrigan could understand what Augustus was thinking at this moment. She wished she could have met Augustus when she was a child.

Antiga is a place where countless people who have lost family members to the zerg huddle together for warmth in the cold nights. Suffering is tightly linking these people together.

When I learned yesterday that Microsoft had acquired Blizzard, I had a feeling that the clouds would clear and the moon would shine.

This pool of stagnant water after the break finally had a chance to move.

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all, my mind was filled with wow. I just hope that StarCraft II can be updated again, not only for balance, but also for the Tal'darin campaign, Selendis, and the Purifier's building skins

If it really doesn’t work, it’s not impossible to make a StarCraft Ghost game and create an interstellar world based on the interstellar universe.
