Chapter 3309 Spider from Necromunda
Following the instructions of the Inquisition text, the rangers went to the "uninhabited" world and found a barbaric kingdom, but it was not just a barbaric kingdom. There were several huge webway gates in this virgin world, but most of them were It was sealed, and only one is still in a usable state. According to local residents, this gate leads to a powerful ark world named Iyanden!
Obviously, Iyanden attacked the human colonial fleet in the first place to ensure that this webway gate would not be discovered by humans. However, local residents also said that Iyanden's personnel and ships have not appeared from it for many, many years. .
Because it is located in a remote corner of the galaxy and has not had contact with other arks for many years, this kingdom called Sotai is very isolated. Its residents also have strong distrust and rejection of outsiders. Although they did not drive away the rangers, they still They made it clear that they were not interested in the Eternal Royal Court and just wanted to live an undisturbed life.
Soshyan has a lot of things to do now and has no time to deal with this matter. After listening to Salanya's report, he signaled to send envoys to contact them slowly, bring some gifts to the local residents, and inform them that Orpheus is here What happened reminded them of possible dangers. Of course, the rapid response fleet also had to patrol there from time to time to ensure its safety from being attacked by the Necrontyr.
After dealing with these, Soshyan rushed back to Amara without stopping. The information Lana brought was actually quite useful. At least he now knew how the enemy fought, and he felt more confident about military deployment. Adjustments can also be made.
But as soon as he returned to Amara, he immediately heard news that surprised him——
A company of the Marauders Chapter arrives in Amara.
This is an old friend. One of the White Scars' sub-regiment that participated in the Maelstrom, it is also the parent regiment of the Mantis Warriors, and this time the leader is Captain Julio, whom Soshyan is familiar with.
Soshyan immediately met with Julio. They were very excited to see each other again after ten years. They exchanged pleasantries for a while. Then Julio told Soshyan that the battle group was currently in the Pacific Star Territory approaching the Storm Star Territory. The position was to help the local system fight a war against the greenskins. However, after receiving a request for support from the high lord, a company was sent here. Because he knew that Soshyan was also there, the ones who came were those who were familiar with him. Giulio.
Although the role of a company of Space Marines in this war is really limited, it is better than nothing. Soshyan is also very eager to thank the other party for choosing to reinforce them despite such a shortage of troops.
Then he plunged into intense and continuous preparations.
The intelligence provided by Lana actually confirmed Soshyan's previous speculation. When the enemy starts a war, there is a high probability that the enemy will choose Alama Prime first, bomb it and then drop a large number of infantry, and then turn around to fight against the human fleet, using the speed difference to kill two birds with one stone. Therefore, he will continue to strengthen Amara's orbital defense, while adding protective facilities such as large void shields on the planet's surface, as well as sufficiently strong underground bunkers, while the deployment of the fleet remains unchanged. During this period, the trickster spider group from Necromunda had a small commotion due to food and treatment issues. Fortunately, it was handled in time and was quickly calmed down. However, Soshyan also had some concerns about this troop from the famous recruiting world of Imperial Fist. Out of curiosity, their equipment is quite good, even better than that of the Krieg Death Legion, especially the infantry support weapons. Their company-level support firepower is among the best among the many Astra Militarum Soshiyan has seen. , and many of the equipment have not even been seen by Soshyan.
And they are actually very unique among the entire Necromunda Army. The Necromunda task force sent to Orps to support this time has a total of twelve regiments, nearly 600,000 people, except for the trick spiders. Outside the regiment, the equipment of the other regiments is not much different from that of the normal Astra Militarum, that is, there are some slight differences in personal equipment, but this regiment is too unique.
After in-depth understanding, Soshyan learned that the Necromunda Trickery Spider Group is a very unique "highly efficient mobilization unit" in the Ministry of Military Affairs. This kind of organization is often used in very high-level civilizations and has a certain degree of organization. Hive gangs recruit soldiers, and the recruited gangs can use their equipment. They only need to add the logo of the Astra Militarum to the equipment. In other words, they should actually be regarded as "militia" - using their own weapons. The equipment and organizational model will only include imperial functional positions such as political commissars and military chaplains.
And there is another very interesting thing, that is, the Necromunda conspiracy spider group is all from a family in that world, called the Fanshall family. Soshyan didn't quite understand the situation there. At first, he thought it was It was the ruling family of Necromunda, but the Supreme Commissar of the Tricky Spiders cleared his doubts.
It turns out that the Fansauer family is not the ruling family of Necromunda, but they own a technology empire that monopolizes the entire planet, controlling most of the key facilities involving complex technologies in Necromunda, as well as most of the electricity and promethium elements. and other energy production facilities. In addition, they also have large-scale factories and top-notch technical workshops, which are expensive. The tribesmen will also spend a lot of money to purchase various technical products of the Fansauer family. For example, most of the very famous Hunter Lord Armor comes from the family's workshops, and there are even many hives that require it for their basic operations. The technical support and maintenance of the Fansauer family can be said to have replaced the function of the Adeptus Mechanicus in Necromunda in a sense.
So as far as Necromunda is concerned, although they are all people under the Emperor's rule, they naturally accept the Mecha doctrine from the Mechanicus so that their factories and production lines can maintain production. However, once the Mechanicum's dogma no longer When the arrogant technical priests of the Mechanicus could not be called, the factory owners would naturally go to the Fansauer family who were not far from them.
In this unique atmosphere, the Fansauer family also possesses a high degree of organization and discipline that many hive gangs do not have. Therefore, they were favored by the Ministry of Military Affairs and became extremely unique and efficient mobilization soldiers. The spider mark is said to be derived from the coat of arms of the Fansauer family, but direct members of the Fansauer family almost never leave Necromunda, and those who join the army are basically subordinate gang members and collateral Ogmec members—— This is a unique warrior class in the Vanshall family, which is known for its technological power.
With some strong curiosity, Soshyan inspected some of the unique equipment of the Necromunda Trick Spiders.
First of all, their rifles are very different from the Mars MK III short-barreled laser gun most commonly used by the Astra Militarum. In addition to the longer gun body, it can actually hang an Eradicator flamethrower. This is very interesting. In addition, Soshyan also saw a unique compact laser gun in the veteran company of the Spider Regiment.
