The Triken System

Just as Malena Skala was heading towards the Catachan system, in the Wheel of Fire System, on planet four, at base one...

As Nimrod was about to storm the stronghold, a picture suddenly flashed through his mind—a picture of "Monster" John.

An Ork several Grot taller than an ordinary Ork, whose legs were encased in hydraulic devices.

He was standing on a strange-looking Dakka vehicle.

The vehicle had no weapons in the conventional sense, but it did have a strange ejection rack connected to a hydraulic system.

With a whoosh and a piercing Shriek, he was suddenly launched into the air, his feet kicking at himself.

The image then disappeared, Nimrod, deep in thought, offered his interpretation of the scene the "monster" had foreseen:

A war leader who is skilled at or enjoys trampling enemies with his feet launches a sneak attack on himself.

Nimrod knew that war leaders would usually hire Mekboy to make them weapons like Lightning Claw or massive suits of armor.

But there are always those Ork with unique ideas who will go their own way as long as they feel Waaagh is right.

While pondering, Nimrod rushed into the Orks' camp, attacking with Bolter equipped with Power Fist while cautiously observing his surroundings.

The piercing roar of the engine filled the air as the massive body soared into the sky.

Tyler the One-Legged, the war leader, sprang from his Dakka and kicked at Nimrod.

Ever since he spent most of his fortune to have a tech whiz build this roaring Dakka for him, he has broken the legs of rival tribal leaders hundreds and thousands of times.

The sound of bones breaking always brought him applause from Gork and Mork.

The powerful kinetic energy propelled the man with the broken leg to Nimrod's feet in the blink of an eye.

The man with the broken leg grinned and opened his mouth wide, revealing fangs as long as his fingers.

Gork and Mork!

He was already hearing the hallucination of bones cracking in his mind.

The hallucinations in the amputee's mind were shattered by the cold reality.

To his astonishment, the black-armored Warrior suddenly swung his sword, unleashing a dazzling display of blue and white light.

The crackling Psionic Energy shredded the man's legs and destroyed the hydraulic transmission mechanism that bound them.

The man with the broken leg suddenly understood how those bosses who had lost both legs felt.

The man with the broken leg used his right arm to swing Big Choppa at Nimrod.

Nimrod dodged the attack and plunged the Sword of Vaul into the Ork Warboss's head.

After defeating the final victor in a massive tribal battle involving hundreds of tribes, the boys from different tribes were thrown into chaos.

After Nimrod finished the ground battle, Arsena Dunn came to his side and spoke.

"My lord, the Lord of the Forge has received news that the Crown of Glaya is expected to arrive in five stardays."

Nimrod then returned to the Shadow of the Throne and handed over the cleanup work to the Fourth and 11th Chapter, as well as Hannibal and his Second Legion.

Hannibal and his army, like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, continued their attacks on the Orks.

Nimrod confidently entrusted more strongholds to the Second Legion Corps.

He returned to the Shadow of the Throne and finalized the details of the subsequent negotiations with the Primarch's Attendants and the Lord of the Forge.

Then, the Lord of the Forge spoke up and gave a report.

"Father, the Simian Field control device has been successfully developed."

"I have studied the sacred construction template for Bastion-class Energy Shield and have mastered the construction technology to cover the entire Hive City."

Nimrod slightly and said to Rosicky Czech.

"After the negotiations with Graia conclude, you will set off to set up Warp Gate in seven star systems and construct Bastion-class Energy Shield in each Hive City."

As you wish.

Then, the silver-haired Arsena, holding Data Slate, reported to the Primarch.

"My lord, the shipyards on Triken have surpassed the Vostonia Shipyard in construction capacity, and can produce one standardized capital ship per year."

"Mining facilities and foundries have been established on the four planets Triken II, III, IV, and V."

"Capable of producing weapons and equipment ranging from Lasgun to armored vehicles."

Primarch's Attendants examined the Data Slate in his hand and gave a detailed report:

"The main planet Triken has fifteen large foundries. Besides regular foundries, the most notable are the factories of the Tarawa Tribe."

"Tarawa established ten large Foundry on its primary planet and constructed mining bases and twenty-three smaller foundries on four other planets."

"They brought with them many technologies from the 'Dark Mechanicum Era,' and the artisans of Tarawa were willing to serve the Eleventh Legion with the skills they had used to forge equipment for the Adeptus Custodes."

Nimrod nodded slightly.

"Very good. Have them send craftsmen to manufacture the equipment the Royal Court Acolyte need."

"Then proceed step by step, according to the legion level."

After the Primarch's Attendants took note, he continued.

"The main planet Triken also has a large number of Dinosaur domesticated by the Exodite Aeldari."

"They can be eaten as meat, or they can be tamed as mounts."

Upon hearing this, Nimrod issued the order, "Establish a ranch and raise Dinosaur."

After making a note of it, Arsena continued.

"The Triken II has eleven large foundries and twenty small foundries."

"Because the local area produces high-quality iron ore and limestone, which are suitable for manufacturing Ceramite."

"Therefore, the Triken II's factories included numerous refining plants, with a primary focus on casting Power Armor and Auxilia armor."

The Mark II Crusade-pattern Power Armor uses armor plates made of a mixture of Plasteel and Ceramite.

Ceramite, developed during the "dark age of technology," is an advanced synthetic material that combines the properties of plastic with the tensile strength of steel alloys.

Ceramite is also the most widely used casting material in the current Imperium of Man.

"The Triken III has ten large foundries and eighteen small foundries."

"Exodite Aeldari Psionic Energy crystal mine has been discovered at Triken III. The Legion's Librarian and Tech Sergeant are conducting research on it."

"Based on the Aeldari technology currently available to the Legion, it is expected to at least improve the performance of the Ranger-pattern Lasrifle."

Nimrod nodded slightly, a sense of anticipation rising within him.

The Psyker Crystal of the Crystal Illusion Realm differ somewhat from the Psionic Energy nurturing crystals used by the Aeldari, making the research and development of Aeldari technology increasingly difficult.

Despite encountering the Aeldari twice, the Warrior failed to capture Aeldari Bonesinger or Path of the Artisan or similar paths, and their understanding of the weapons in their hands remained limited.

"Triken IV is a volcano with high activity and has the fewest foundries in the system, with only five large foundries and eleven small foundries."

"But because of this, the factories built on top can utilize thermal energy, significantly reducing the energy consumed during casting."

"Moreover, a type of root nodule plant grows on the surface of Triken IV, residing in near-surface lava rivers and surviving by releasing heat."

The Primarch's Attendants spoke, manipulating the Data Slate to generate a holographic image.

"This plant grows deep underground; if you pull it out rashly, it will emit a piercing scream."

"It was named Mandrake by the Apothecary, and it has the miraculous effect of suppressing the erosion of the Warp spirit, relieving the tinnitus and headaches of the Void Crew."

It produces a mist of reproductive spores that diffuses across the ground.

Nimrod slightly. In his memory, there was a grass with similar characteristics and effects in another world, which was named Mandrake by the members who arrived in that world.

Indeed, the naming of organisms is not accidental.

They were all named Mandrake because they make a scream.

If this is the Mandrake I remember, Navigator Houses purchased in large quantities, then it would also be effective for Psyker.

After a moment's thought, Nimrod realized that this Mandrake should also be able to be used to extract Ritual Essential Oil, so he spoke up.

"Send some of the Mandrake to the Librarian and the Apothecary, respectively, so that he can conduct research on it."

After recording the Primarch's commands, the Primarch's Primarch's Attendants continues to report.

"The Triken V currently has eight large foundries, twelve small foundries, and one large foundry and three small foundries under construction."

"We also discovered a black crystalline material locally that can be woven into luxurious fabrics that emit a soft, internal Halo when worn at dusk or in the dark, almost hypnotizing onlookers."

"The Aeldari of the Triken V use crystalline materials to weave silk-like fabrics, possessing a distinctly exotic charm. Initial assessments suggest that their effects and beauty will appeal to nobles and socialites."

Nimrod smiled and nodded, then spoke.

"The Triken system is truly a treasure trove; the Aeldari's modification technology is truly amazing."

Five sidereal days later, the Crown of Graia arrived in the Wheel of Fire System.
