Chapter 206 It’s not surprising that a real Terran foodie would choose this place
It must be noted that in fact, for a planet’s Governor’s Mansion, its complete structure and level of defense are generally equivalent to a mini A fortress is a fortress, and its size and level of technology depend on the world's wealth, technology level, and prerequisites.
The planetary governors of some barbaric worlds or feudal worlds may not live on the ground at all, but choose to establish their own center of power and rule in planetary orbital stations above the heads of ignorant residents. The starport there regularly delivers the tithes of the planet to the empire, and many indigenous residents on the ground may only consider the act of launching food or other resources to the orbital station as a tribute to the gods throughout their lives. ceremony.
One thing to note is that the rulers of the knightly world often lived together with their subjects - yes, that famous "you find yourself traveling to the Middle Ages and decide to lead the surrounding serfs" Uprising, the Great Steel Smelting! The super-powerful witch comes to vote! The era of the Shark Fork Knight has changed, rush into their castle and defeat the feudal people - what are these knights you are talking about? 'Imperial Knight Mecha'?" That's where the joke comes from.
Even a full company composed of battle-hardened Astartes veterans has to deal with a complete mansion - mainly because they need to restrain their firepower a little during the raid to ensure that they are attacked The occupied place can restore the integrity of daily duties and functions as soon as possible - in fact, it is not that easy, because a planetary governor's mansion is not only the residence of the governor, well, when I read the usual setting here, Lamizane once said I felt an indescribable sense of familiarity coming over me.
A governor's mansion usually has administrative office buildings, botanical gardens, power generation facilities, fresh water storage and circulation equipment, airports for shuttles inside and outside the atmosphere, churches and related religious facilities, courts or trial halls, council chambers, and the headquarters of the Planetary Defense Forces. With a barracks, chamber of commerce or guild hall, a comprehensive square - and the planetary governor's private residence is often one of the strongest structures and will have additional concealment measures on its outer layer, such as being buried underground or in a bunker .
In one example, during the first raid on a planetary governor's palace with a population of 12 million that was secretly in league with the xenos and was now under its shameful rule, the same In order to cause a powerful shock and effective decapitation strike, the leading company commander at the time deployed approximately one hundred and twenty Adeptus Astartes for this operation, including the entire 2nd Company and a portion of the Terminator elite of the 1st Company, and, Although no vehicles were deployed as a raid, the first batch of automatic weapons landing pods before landing were still deployed as clearing firepower at the landing site. The reserve also included two Dreadnought mechas.
It can be seen that the Planet Governor's Mansion is really not a garden-style building with only high walls and guards as a means of defense. It is essentially a solid military building with administrative functions, strong firepower, and sufficient troops. Fortress, attacking it is equivalent to attacking a fortress (Of course, some people on the Iron Blood were overjoyed when they heard about this, and immediately changed their Terminator armor to equipped with Terminator siege missiles that only two legions would always have. system).
Every person who successfully inherits the position of Governor is well aware of how many opponents he has in the local area, both overt and covert. Agents of the Ecclesiarchy, Imperial agents, Chaos followers, genestealer sects, and human political opponents and stakeholders are all very familiar. Willing to teach each governor and his successor how to "behave" (knowledge of the Alpha Legion is extremely rare and is not usually taken into account).
There is a reason why Lamizane did not directly choose the traditional agricultural world of Kaijan as the first target like Angron, but chose the Pearl Moon. It is not difficult to obtain Kaijan, and the benefits of ruling it are certainly huge, but first of all, as an agricultural world with a name and good conditions that can feed several surrounding sectors, it is a star that will be used by the Terran Ministry of Internal Affairs and other A planet of great concern to Imperial agencies, not just the Moff of Calixis.
Secondly, because Kaijan owns a large continent, their governor's palace can be built large and complex, and communication and transportation are relatively convenient, which is not conducive to the follow-up control of raids. As for why it’s the Pearl Moon? Of course, this is because Pearl Moon is not well-known in the first place because it is a satellite of a planet, but its products are rich enough to be exported to the outside world, and there is potential for continued growth. This beautiful blue-green planet from space has only ocean on its surface. Although sometimes, due to the influence of natural tides or volcanic activity, some small islands or reefs will emerge from the sea, but these tiny reefs are due to "mysterious" The "earth" lacks the agglomeration process and will soon be submerged again by tides or eroded by waves before it has time to develop into larger islands.
The technological level of fishery, mining and drilling of workers on Pearl Moon has been relatively well preserved under the harsh pressure of life, and at the same time, they have been separated from other worlds in the empire for many years. Over the course of their lives, the people here have developed an above-average tolerance to physical problems related to extreme humidity, mild corrosion, and shaking, allowing them to maintain and live on a massive agricultural platform while working. This huge floating platform structure is loosely tethered to the reef or bedrock by numerous underwater cables.
And its total population is only 3.5 million, including Ogryn and other demi-humans. Workers are also accustomed to a peaceful life. There are no major shortcomings except that the average life expectancy is only forty years old. Workers work in gangs. Due to the high degree of automation, they are usually sparse in number and dispersed across various platforms.
The size and defensive measures of the governor's palace and barracks here are also very limited due to the structural problems of the platform. There is even no need to hand over the Astral Legion to the Ministry of Military Affairs (the feet of Khorne) because of the inability to train soldiers on a large scale. ! That 'Barracks' and the Iron Blood's training ground are bigger than that! - An anonymous person who jumped into the Governor's Mansion was disappointed to find that his siege missiles were of no use)
In short, after everyone carefully unfolded and studied the data provided by Lamizane, they found that this little-known satellite needs to be careful not to alert its host star before diving in. It is not powerful and is mainly used to pay attention to the orbital defense of asteroids and meteorites. Outside of the platform, it can be said to be the most perfect target for their requirements.
So of course there was no surprise. After quickly controlling Pearl Moon and restoring its working order, the people on the Iron Blood and Desert Ark also had hot, fresh dinners as scheduled.
It is very fresh and very delicious, just as the body of a certain original body praised when raising a glass to invite wine, "Let us raise a glass and drink in praise of the plump cod and tuna!"
