Warhammer III

The Nestos Hive World is located southwest of the Hartmoth Watch Fortress. Its registration information in the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs is as follows:

Starfield: Extreme Starfield

Star Region: Unknown

Sub-Star Region: Unknown

Galaxy: Nestos Galaxy

Type: Hive World

Subordinate: Empire

Orbital Radius: 4 ER

Gravity: 5 G

Population: About 12 billion

Tax Rate: 11th Percentage Tax

The shadow of the subspace covering multiple galaxies interfered with the Blackstone Fortress's journey to the Hive World, and the Blackstone Fortress sailed out of the subspace for no reason many times.

Relying on her rich navigation experience, Yin Lishabe finally led the Blackstone Fortress into the Nestos Galaxy. After the rift shield was activated, the Blackstone Fortress sailed out of the subspace and came to the outskirts of the Nestos Galaxy.

The auspex array entered the monitoring state, and the range-the entire galaxy detected the unknown fleet. The number of fleets is being determined.

The image of the unknown fleet in the galaxy was transmitted to the Blackstone Fortress Command Center as soon as possible. Tai Yue, Jerome, Nelson, Bruce and others and Death Watch Renus stared at the projection of the monitoring results.

The dense biological spaceships that covered the sky and the sun were like nebula dust, spreading in the interstellar space, and slowly drifting into the galaxy, ready to go to the hive world to feast.

The number of biological spaceships shown in the projection is constantly rising, and there are nearly 10,000 hive spaceships of all sizes. Each spaceship is the host and incubator of countless symbiotic creatures. Tyranid creatures hatch and even evolve from the spaceship reproductive chamber.

"A veritable interstellar locust, how long will it take to completely eliminate so many biological spaceships!"

Bruce complained.

"God Emperor, these biological spaceships are considered few. If we successfully block this tentacle, the larger hive tentacles may still be behind."

After saying this, Reinus glanced at the think tank of the Ninth Brotherhood.

What surprised him was that the think tank, as a powerful psychic, was not affected at all by the shadow of the subspace, and the other psychics of the Ninth Brotherhood were also lively and jumping.

When faced with the Warp Shadow, ordinary citizens of the Empire will experience uneasiness and terrible nightmares, and psychics will suffer from severe headaches, uncontrollable screaming, and even bleeding eyes or coma.

"Yin Lisa, avoid the Hive Fleet first and go directly to the Nestos Hive World."

Tai Yue did not care about the number of biological ships, but decided to go to the Hive World first, which is likely to be infiltrated by the Genestealer Cult.

If the Hive World falls, it is the best choice to directly issue an extermination order to destroy the planet, which can effectively prevent the Hive Tentacles from replenishing biomass.

On the contrary, if Nestos has not fallen, it can be surrounded and attacked, and the approaching biological ships can be annihilated with the long-range firepower of the Blackstone Fortress.

After receiving the order, Yin Lisa quickly found a suitable orbit and guided the Blackstone Fortress into the interior of the Nestos system.

In order not to attract the attention of the Hive Tentacles and reduce the anxiety of the expeditionary force, Tai Yue also asked Varda in the multi-ethnic conference hall to activate the anti-psychic turret of the Blackstone Fortress to resist the influence of the Warp Shadow.

Death Watch hates aliens, so Tai Yue did not allow Varda to appear in the command center. The two communicated only through telepathy.

When approaching the hive world Nestos, Blackstone Fortress activated regular communication to try to contact the Imperial forces on the surface.

Not long after, Sister Yinsha finally received a reply from the ground. She immediately reported the current situation of the Hive World to Taiyue:

"The Planetary Governor's Office and the Ministry of Justice Fortress in the north of the planet have been captured by the Genestealers. The Akvalis Continent in the south of the planet has not fallen. The stationed Star Army-Nestos Defense Force is still suppressing the riots launched by the Genestealer Sect."

Yinsha was breathing rapidly, but continued in an orderly manner:

"What's worse is that the defense space station in the synchronous orbit has been occupied by the vanguard of the Hive Tentacles. More biological spacecraft are gathering near the space station, and the morale of the defense force is declining."

"The Tyranid invasion is about to enter the second stage!"

Renus frowned after hearing this information, which means that the gathered biological spacecraft will begin to release spore airdrop capsules.

The first stage of the Tyranid invasion is reconnaissance. These terrifying aliens will not invade the imperial world casually, but will understand the situation of the planet in advance, and then decide whether to add the planet to the menu of the Great Devourer.

Genestealers that have infiltrated Imperial ships will randomly travel to different planets. They will then build Genestealer cults and overthrow the ruling regime when the time is right, while summoning the Tyranid fleet through the psychic network.

Other ways of reconnaissance include sending Licats for reconnaissance. Licats are specially evolved scouts that can be disguised and carry out reconnaissance missions on any planet. Their purpose is to lead the Tyranid swarms to find new prey and lock on to large groups of prey that try to hide or escape before the arrival of the Hive Fleet.

Of course, there are also Hive Fleets that directly send Vanguard frigates to sneak into the interior of the galaxy. These Vanguard frigates are relatively small in size and most of them have stealth capabilities. In addition, their propulsion based on biological energy allows Vanguard frigates to quietly scout new galaxies. Imperial agencies may be completely unaware of these ominous invasions.

The second stage is infection. The arrival of the Hive Fleet indicates that the invasion has entered the next stage. Once a large number of biological ships enter the orbit of the target planet, they will immediately launch spore airdrop capsules to the surface of the planet.

In addition to carrying combat-type Tyranids, the spore airdrop capsules even contain various microbial life forms.

These microorganisms can change the planet's atmosphere, oceans, soil, plants and animals, and even decompose the planet's originally complex organic matter, and recreate organic molecules in a form that is most suitable for capillary tower absorption.

Some Tyranids will plant spores when digging holes on the planet, and these spores can eventually grow into capillary towers to transport biomass to the hive fleet in orbit.

"Use the vortex psychic turret to destroy the defense space station and the surrounding biological spacecraft!"

Tai Yue decisively issued an attack order, he wanted to buy time for the ground troops.

The warp shadow will affect the use of psychic energy in the Blackstone Fortress. All psychic turrets, including the vortex psychic turret, will be charged in advance before entering the range of influence of the warp shadow.

"Boom!"

The warp energy beam traversed the void, swept across the sky above the hive world, directly detonated the space station, and destroyed the biological spacecraft entrenched in the surrounding area.

The debris of the space station and the wreckage of the biological spacecraft fell like a torrential rain. After the ground troops learned that the Empire's support fleet had arrived, they cheered and restored their morale.

After dealing with the vanguard fleet of the Hive Tentacles, the Tianyuanfangfang Black Stone Fortress successfully entered the planet's synchronous orbit.
