StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

The imperial capital planet, Korhal IV, Augustgrad.

Korhal's low axis inclination and moderate rotational speed have given birth to a lush, warm and pleasant Eden, a highly developed complex industrial system and an idyllic world of pastoral red flowers and leaves.

When this generation of Korhal took over this prosperous world from their ancestors, Korhal IV was already the pearl among the thirteen main star worlds of the Tyranid Federation.

But like all other Federation worlds, Korhal was nothing more than a vassal and colony of Tarsonis. The oppression and blood-sucking of the Federation eventually triggered the uprising cry of the Korhal revolutionaries. The revolutionary wave eventually caused the Tarsonis Creation Family to lose billions of money.

The Federation's inhumane nuclear bombing soon followed, turning this lush and beautiful garden into a nuclear wasteland covered with black glass.

Huge mushroom clouds rose up, radioactive dust fell like ribbons, and a black rain began to fall on Korhal. The entire planet was in deathly silence, with huge craters permanently changing the landscape. Twisted steel, black crystals, and simmering debris were covered with layers of radiation dust.

Since Emperor Augustus Mengsk defeated the Earth Federation Expeditionary Force, recaptured Tarsonis and established the Tyranid Empire, the first decree issued by the emperor was to invest a large amount of money in the purification and reconstruction of the imperial capital Korhal.

By February 2494, giant cities rising from the ground in the radioactive wasteland and dangerous wasteland had already taken shape.

The stubborn resistance of the Korhal rebels was not entirely ineffective. The Federation fleet actually only delivered more than 400 Apocalypse-class nuclear bombs to Korhal instead of the 1,000 planned. Therefore, although the radiation was still frighteningly high, the natural environment in many areas The environment recovered on its own within two years after the nuclear explosion. Nature once again demonstrated her greatness and tolerance.

Although many official agencies such as the Imperial Academy of Sciences, the Imperial Immigration Department, and the Palace Spokesperson have promised that most of the area in Korhal IV has become habitable again, no matter how convincing the analysis report is, the immigrants You must have made a great deal of determination before deciding to come to Korhal.

On thousands of square miles of land, tens of thousands of super cranes, cranes, bulldozers, and high-energy gas tank trucks are operating day and night. Every day, tall buildings rise from the ground, sky train tracks are laid every day, and steel cities made of countless tons of steel, concrete and glass are expanding outwards.

From the first bricks of the reconstruction plan to factories, power stations, food processing plants, laboratories, and trading ports, Korhal is rapidly transforming into an ecumenopolis. With UNN sparing no effort in reporting, all the imperial worlds are paying attention to the changes in Kohal, and those thoughtful people see the development opportunities in this newly built imperial city.

Korhal IV, which was declared dead by the Federation, has regained new vitality. The interstellar shipping routes have once again been re-planned, and all roads lead to Korhal.

Encouraged by the emperor's call and a series of laws and policies, Korhal IV ushered in the first large-scale immigration wave, attracting immigrants from all over the world. The technology industry and service industry provide the basis for development.

In four months, the resident population of Keha IV reached the size of its former heyday, while the floating population was twice that number.

Not only the Tyranids, but also the Kaimorians and Umoyans also came to this emerging imperial capital world to make a living. People believed that an era of strong and open empire had arrived.

Augustgrad, New Styrling (New Styrling technology city), Aurora (a map in StarCraft I, an orbital platform of Korhal), Simonson (Simonson Military Center ), Wolfrec (port city), Fairstens (Fairstens industrial center). The new city not only inherits the name of the past, but also commemorates the sacrifice of revolutionaries and soldiers.

In February, the news that Emperor Augustus returned from the expedition that defeated the zerg and protoss aroused widespread attention in Korhal without any need for publicity.

By the 14th of that month, the Imperial fleet arrived in the Korhal system after a long jump voyage and anchored in the Sky Shield and Bennett Port under construction to carry out necessary repairs and maintenance work.

When Augustus successfully arrived at the Augustgrad Capital Airport on a gray shuttle plane, hundreds of holographic news media, newspapers and freelance writers from all over the world had been waiting for a long time, with trembling mouths and flying automatic machines. Cameras and microphones all reached towards this heroic emperor.

This is not the first time that the emperor has appeared in public and in front of the people in military uniform, and this navy uniform looks extraordinary on him.

Beside him stood Queen Sarah Kerrigan, who was also in military uniform, Imperial Admiral Horace Warfield and Captain Faraday of the Royal Guards, all important figures who had accompanied the emperor on many foreign trips.

The interior of the airport was also covered with a red carpet with the words in capital letters: Peace, Law, and Order. (Imperial slogan: Peace. Law. Order.) and the slogan that Korhal will shine again. (Korhal will be great again - Arcturus Mengsk)

"Your Majesty, do you have anything to say about this great victory over the protoss?" A tall, thin man with blond hair was the first to ask the emperor a question. The symbol on the microphone indicated that he is a reporter for Empire Today. This is not a news agency that was founded recently. Its predecessor was Federation Today.

"The significance of this victory is self-evident. It is the first victory since the Terran Federation lost power and humiliated its country in a foreign war. This means that the evil alien forces represented by the Tal'darin protoss are not invincible. This is humanity, and this is Tyranid. The power of the Roman Empire!" Of course Augustus knew about this interview.

Now that we have won, we need to publicize it.

"Once the Tal'darin Protoss and Zerg attack, the Empire will defeat them once." He said to the camera:

"Glory belongs to Horace Warfield and all Imperial soldiers, and victory belongs to the Empire."

"Does this mean that the Empire's system is superior to that of the Federation? You can say yes or no." After the reporter from Empire Today asked this question, he was crowded away by other reporters.

"I create history, I compose history, and the descendants who have been affected by this will comment on it." Emperor Augustus smiled and said with a little humor: "If you ask me, the Empire is better than the Federation. "

"Your Majesty, this is Joey Floyd from the Augustgrad Daily. Is it true that there is an unprecedented outbreak of zerg infection and pandemic in Agria, the agricultural world? "This is a dark-haired female reporter of medium height. It is not easy for her to squeeze out among these crazy reporters:

“Is Capital World’s quarantine policy related to this infection crisis?”

"It's true. The Empire has never concealed the invasion and terrible disaster that Agria suffered." Augustus noticed the trap in the reporter's question: "Korhal's policy has nothing to do with the Zerg virus. It is one of the necessary measures to prepare for the large influx of immigrants. In this era, there are many new diseases."

"As for the zerg infection in Agria, the empire has developed a targeted and powerful virus serum, and the cure rate is close to 100%. At present, the infection has been eradicated in 14 imperial territories including Agria." He go on:

"If you pay attention to the announcements from the Imperial Ministry of Health, you will know how successful the new virus serum has been in Agria and other places. As Health Minister Spielt said, the Agria zerg virus level has weakened to An epidemic limited to some star provinces in the empire. This shows that zerg infection is not hopeless. We must believe in the empire!"

"Your Majesty, there are reports that you abandoned the refugees in Agria and ordered the expulsion of all refugee ships heading to the core world." Another reporter with a big waist came to the emperor: "Is this consistent with the unpromulgated regulations? Is it related to imperial policy?”

When Agria and other places were first invaded by Carlos, a large number of refugees flocked to the core world. But out of fear of the viruses they carry, no planet dares to take them in.

Those with a good attitude even sent out short-range shuttles from the colonies to drive them away, while those with a bad attitude directly began to attack refugee ships. As for those who landed secretly, they did cause infection in those worlds, and the bloody conflicts and darker events that occurred as a result were even more horrifying.

After Augustus learned of the incident, he immediately sent soldiers to build multiple isolation areas and refugee settlements, so that the infection did not spread further. This is not actually an inaction on the part of the empire, but the control of many worlds in the newly founded country is still very weak, and even if it reacts, it will be difficult to dispatch support in time.

As one after another former Federation world joins the Terran Empire, a bureaucracy appointed by the Emperor and accountable only to the Emperor will reconnect the Federation worlds as a whole.

"The Tyran Empire has never driven away any refugee ship, and all refugees have been properly resettled." Augustus emphasized: "The Empire will not abandon any citizen."

This group of media is always trying to make big news, and even the emperor is not afraid of it, because they know that Augustus is not a tyrant. In fact, facing questions from the media can further shape his image as a wise king.

"The Kaimorians of Redstone Star have announced through a referendum that they will become the 127th joining world of the Empire. This matter has caused protests from the Federation Board of Directors." This is a UNN reporter, a young black-haired woman:

"An Augustgrad poll shows that this is very likely to trigger a political and diplomatic conflict between the Empire and the Commonwealth, and even trigger a second Guild War."

"The Tyranid Empire respects the choice of the people of Redstone. This planet and everyone on it will be protected by the empire and enjoy all the rights of imperial citizens." Augustus immediately replied.

The population of Redstone is not large, mainly composed of Kaimorian miners and mercenaries, and is mainly concentrated in orbital settlements.

The current Kaimorian Federation is becoming more and more corrupt, and there are constant conflicts and conflicts between the major guilds. The middle and upper class of the guild live a wealthy life that is not inferior to that of the founding family of Tarsonis in the Federation, but the lives of the people at the bottom are miserable.

Being able to force the Camorians, who hate the Tyranids so much, to seek shelter and help from the Tyranids, shows how inhumane the top leaders of the Federation are.

As for the attitude of the Camorian Federation, Augustus actually didn't care much at all. Although the Federation enjoys sovereignty over Redstone Star, the Empire does not have to abide by the agreement signed by the Federation.

But within the coalition, they only dare to shout. Even the newly established Tyran Empire is not something they can afford to offend. For now, Kemerian is still a vassal force of the Tyranid Empire.

Augustus dealt with these tricky questions one by one, and the group seemed indifferent to the empire's new victories. After all, this matter is already known to everyone in the empire, and the real battlefield details and battlefield records are in the hands of the UNN who sent reporters with the army.

"The empire only pursues one principle, and that is to insist that selfless dedication to the people is the fundamental principle of governing the country." Finally, Augustus once again emphasized his governing policy.

"Everything we have achieved today, this hard-won peace and prosperity comes from the hard work and sacrifice of countless warriors." He said:

"Today, all the Tyranid territories will once again unite under the same flag. The Tyranid Empire will fight to protect human civilization and protect the future of mankind. Only by uniting as one can we succeed. Only by uniting as one can we win. Only by uniting as one can we win. Only by working together can we overcome all difficulties.”

"These are dark times, our enemies are tireless and the fight never stops."

After Augustus finished speaking, the reporters who were still entangled were pushed away by the royal guards, clearing a path for the emperor to lead outside the airport. Outside the airport, at least 20,000 Augustgrad residents were waiting to welcome their emperor, followed by a rather grand triumphal ceremony.

"Who let these jackals in?" Prince Arcturus walked towards Augustus from another aisle under the protection of several royal guards.

Prince Arcturus wore a crimson coat embroidered with the golden wolf, a symbol of the royal family. During the period of managing the empire for Augustus, Arcturus not only was not exhausted by the heavy official duties and tedious things, but was also full of energy and high morale.

"I thought you arranged this." Augustus shrugged.

"If I arranged it, it's not that simple. Who doesn't want to know the emperor's little secret." Arcturus spread his hands.

"Even psychics can't guess what questions these reporters want to ask. It's not easy to deal with these people." Augustus said without irony.

"You have to be more cunning than them, and even if you consider every word, they may still catch you." Arcturus said: "In recent times, the paparazzi who have been keeping an eye on the Federation's founding family have been The team began to focus on the royal family. Fortunately, Angus and his sister are already used to dealing with these idiots."

"They'd better know where to draw the line." Augustus said coldly.

Family was important to both Augustus and Arcturus. It's not easy to piss them off, but there are always some precious people who are untouchable.

"They must be so," Arcturus added:

"By the way, the Kemorian Federation is also turbulent now. A few days ago, the revolutionaries in Moria asked you to send troops to help them launch an uprising and bring freedom to the people there. - Just like you did to the Federation. .”

"The empire neither can nor can make any substantive commitments." Augustus: "Although Camorion suffered heavy losses after the Guild War, it has slowly regained some strength after these years of recuperation."

And even within the empire, there is a large number of remaining federal fleets waiting to be eliminated. There are still more than 60 federal worlds and more enclaves that need to be recovered. It will take at least several years to completely resolve these hidden dangers, and this is still the most optimistic estimate.

"It is not a wise move to annex Kemorion now." Arcturus nodded.

"You are always so domineering, be careful if you are too greedy to swallow the elephant." Augustus smiled.

"Well, welcome back." Arcturus hugged his brother:

"Now that we're back, let's get back to work. We still have an empire to build."

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

Let’s see if I can explode the small universe as for the supplementary update. T-T
