To the residents of the Nessian galaxy, Nessin Six is just a cold, desolate world filled with the cruel authority of the Ministry of Justice. Due to the "efficient law enforcement" of the Ministry of Justice, the number of criminals is often extremely alarming. Yes, relying solely on the prisons of the hive city is absolutely unable to meet the demand, and the governors are not willing to pay for huge prison facilities, and they also have to spend money to support these mortals. This is the fundamental reason for the emergence of the punishment world. Save money. .
In the hive city, if the prisoner is not approved for immediate execution when he is arrested, there is a high probability that he will be sent to the punishment world for permanent detention. The choices in the punishment world are often the most extreme environments. In a sense, this is the true hell on earth for the Empire.
The prisoners will not have any power. The planetary governor is the warden and has absolute authority in the world. What is even more ironic is that in this huge prison built because of the law, there is no Regardless of the existence of any law, jailers can torture and kill prisoners at will, and prisoners will also torture and kill each other for survival or for their meager power. Atrocities that most people will never see happen all the time in this place.
So the Penalty World is also the Imperial world that Chaos war gangs love to visit, because they can easily get millions of thugs who hate the Empire extremely. Of course, the Empire actually has similar needs for the Penalty World, such as when When the troop consumption of the Astra Militarum in neighboring theaters reaches its peak, the generals will also make requests to various punishments for the assembly of troops. These troops are also called punishment legions. Their purpose is nothing more than to serve the throne in the last moments of their lives and have a final taste. A taste of freedom and redemption.
Because these troops are difficult to control, the soldiers of the Penal Legion often wear explosive collars for very strict control. The officers and political commissars who lead them can collectively execute the entire army before suspecting that the Legion may riot. , in this chaotic and dark 41st millennium, there are a large number of punishment legions to support the greedy and never-ending imperial war machine on the front line of the galaxy. Some punishment worlds have even given birth to very famous legions, such as Safra chemical dog, Jupiter Russ the Gerbil, and the 'Last Chancers' of the Thirteenth Punishment Legion of Lights.
But this place has a very special meaning for the Astral Knight, or Soshyan himself.
It was here that he saved Talos, who was supposed to die. It was here that he met Veronica for the first time. In a sense, the most significant turning point in his life happened. Here, everything took a big step forward that he had never expected.
“. The thickness of the atmosphere of Nathan 6 is actually similar to that of Nathan 5, but it has 3 satellites, one more than Nathan 5. Although the average ground surface is only -29 degrees, it is also It is better than Naisen No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. The mineral resources here are also very rich. If you want to develop the mining industry, it should be relatively easy. However, the Ministry of Justice has already classified this world as a penal world. Although it has experienced An Ada attack did not cause much damage to the prisons on the planet. There are 37 large prisons in the entire Naison VI, or you can call them cities. This world holds prisoners from ten galaxies. The current number is calculated by the Ministry of Justice. Thirty-four million. The above-ground part of those prisons is a fortress where prison guards live, and the underground part is an underground mine dug in all directions. Nathan No. 6 has been a punishment world for 1,200 years. In each prison There are hundreds of secondary mines below, connected by complex underground passages and various shafts. The prisoners work here day and night, and the precious minerals they dig out”
In the closed viewing room above the bridge of the Eternal Loyalty, Soshyan sat in his own small closed space, listening to the monotonous mechanical narration coming from the data board, but his eyes were fixed on the slowly rotating Gray star, and three "little stone balls" surrounding it.
There are no furnishings here, just one chair, one table, and the total area is less than fifty square meters. But sometimes the bridge is too noisy, too messy, and too grand. I don’t know why Soshiyang is there. When thinking, he prefers to come to this small space. Sometimes before fighting, he will be alone here for a while, staring at the distant starry sky.
The viewing room has only one wall, and the other three walls are replaced by a complete semicircular projection screen. It can present the star field around the battleship with the most realistic picture. Sitting here is like sitting outside the bridge of the battleship.
The table in front of Soshyan was filled with parchments, thick books, data pads, and various paper documents. The piles were more than one meter high. Inside was Neisen No. 4. Various detailed data on No. 5, historical archives of various galaxies, submissions from various scholars, official documents waiting for approval and reading, Soshyan's own plans, etc. Even when he was alone, he was busy, and this was just one galaxy.
Sometimes he wonders how powerful the Thirteenth Son Guilliman is to be able to handle a "five hundred worlds", even to the point of forming a center after the great rebellion and reorganizing the fragmented world. The blind and devastated empire, although Dorne complained a lot about this brother in his notes, he also recognized his management and governance abilities.
No matter how you look at it, Guilliman's abilities are outstanding. After all, even for the Primarchs, governance is far more difficult than war. It is no wonder that the home planets of most Primarchs are nothing but chicken feathers. status.
Guilliman, Guilliman.
I don’t know why, but now his thoughts are wandering so far away, it seems that they have drifted to Macragge.
Guilliman's current situation, according to the archives, is that he was severely injured by Fulgrim and was forced to enter a stasis field to save his life. What would happen if he was awakened?
Veronica was able to bring back the dead with the power of the goddess Isa, so it seems that it is not impossible to cure Guilliman, but if he wakes him up, what will he think of himself?
Xerxes seems to have no impression of this brother in his memory. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is also average, and Soshyan himself does not have a good impression of the Ultramarines. At that time, the Seventh Company Commander of the Ultramarines was in the world. The performance in the engine battle was disappointing, and Soshyan was also aware of the quarrel between the opponent and the original group leader Amurad.
After looking away from the window, Soshyan looked at the crumpled photo of child labor hanging on the wall. This was used by him to remind himself where the hell of mankind is.
"War has never caused you such pain. At this time, I would rather you be a hard-hearted person like the master of mankind."
Hearing the voice behind him, Soshi smiled. He shook his head and sighed:
"What an ironic thing. War has actually become our anesthetic and painkiller. In a sense, the Astartes seem to be addicted to it. Gentleman.”
