Star Ring STC

The High Caste commander in Gardinal was horrified to discover that the "Shadow of Order" was advancing much faster than he had anticipated after launching their attack.

The hellish firepower unleashed by the black ship dwarfed all of Gardinal's attacks.

The fleet continued at full speed, and he could hardly notice each loss.

Despite the efforts of the surveillance satellites and asteroid turrets to coordinate with the fleet and Weakening the legion, they could not stop its lightning charge.

He stared blankly at the enormous Void Behemoth at the center of the vortex of destruction; even with the sensor array running at full power, it couldn't detect how many torpedoes it was unleashing into the void.

His meticulously constructed interception network, consisting of a satellite, five asteroids, and ten fast warships, was destroyed in the first wave of fire.

The wreckage of the Voidship burned fiercely, stinging his eyes.

The High Caste commander gripped the experimental table tightly, a single thought occupying his mind.

I really wish I had a powerful Voidship.

At the same moment, Nimrod stared at the holographic image.

Gardinal's void power was swiftly shattered.

This was destined five thousand years ago, when the perilous Warp travel was abandoned and the Pocket Imperium.

The void power of the galaxy could not stop the advance of his legion.

On the second day of the Void War, the Ramillies-class Star Fortress had already reached the orbit of the Head of Gardinal.

The Head of Gardinal is the third planet from its star and the first of the eleven worlds to be colonized.

Nimrod led his guards to claim his first prize, and Gardinal's Star Ring boarded him.

The landing craft sped toward the low Earth orbit space station cluster around the equator. A massive Orbital Elevator system rose from the surface of Head of Gardinal, reaching into the sky and connecting to the orbital space station.

The Star Ring at the Head of Gardinal are much smaller than the colossal Star Ring of Mars Medusa, but they still look amazing.

Flamini from the Sixth Legion of Space Station Twenty stepped off the deck of the black landing craft.

Not long ago, when he had just become a "monster", a picture flashed through his mind, and he immediately identified the enemy running from the left-hand passage among the three passages: left, center, and right.

"Left side!"

The guards entered the passage on the left and passed through two cabins when Flamini suddenly shouted.

"Fire!"

The Shadow of Order raised its Bedrock-pattern Bolter and launched an attack.

A dense barrage of bullets erupted from the gun muzzle before the Void Caste could even emerge.

But most of them missed their target, the Adamantine Warhead whizzing past the heads of the Void Caste, who were no taller than normal children.

Flamini paused for a moment, not expecting that his advance warning would not cause any damage.

The Void Caste raised their weapons and attacked the guards.

The Shadow of Order simultaneously lowered their guns, and the explosions tore through black flesh.

The Void Caste surged in like a tide, blasting human plastic bodies into countless fragments, but their advance never faltered.

Within the bio-engineered body, after more than a hundred generations of evolution, absolute obedience to commands is paramount, regardless of any rationality or fear.

The Military Vice-Consul's orders to them were, "Go all out and kill every enemy."

Braving the dense barrage of bullets, the Void Caste raised their weapons and unleashed dazzling beams of light at the black-armored Warrior.

Unlike their unarmored victims, the guards were equipped with the new Mark III Power Armor.

The Weakening in rear armor results in a significant improvement in frontal protection, making it suitable for use in the narrow corridor environment of a space station.

Dense beams of energy shot onto the black armor, leaving only faint marks.

Flamini strode forward; even before the transformation, as a prophetic Psyker, he already possessed keen senses.

The modification surgery amplified his senses, and after becoming a "monster," his inspiration was greatly enhanced, making him comparable to many Baron of the Royal Court in this regard.

Flamini raised his Archaeotech Pistol and fired energy collected from the planet's radiation layer.

Each scorching, deadly ray will pierce through several, or even a dozen, Void Caste.

He was immediately subjected to concentrated fire; the Void Caste, having evolved through generations, had long developed the habit of prioritizing the elimination of the most threatening targets.

Countless beams shot towards Flamini, with hundreds striking his heavy armor helmet.

The slant plate on the helmet is designed to deflect the fire to the left and right, and the flashing beams are deflected, scattering around like Mars from a cutting motion.

Flamini ascended to the fourth level of Magnus's Mindset, simultaneously striking the runes at his waist, causing dozens of runes to light up one by one, activating the Warp Circuit.

The Mark III Power Armor recently deployed in "Shadow of Order" has only a few units equipped with one or more of the other modules.

As Royal Court Friar, he was one of them.

Flamini used the Raven Art he learned from the Librarium during this time to separate his mind from his body and achieve a transcendent state.

His mind gently turned the wheel; the new Warp image he found after becoming a "monster" was the wheel.

As the roulette wheel spins, glimpses of the future appear and float around it.

The Raven Art's proactive precognition gave Flamini a keen sense of the near future, allowing him to detect the Void Caste rapidly passing through a nearby passage, attempting to flank and launch a surprise attack from behind.

This poses a threat to the Shadow of Order members clad in Mark III Power Armor with Weakening back protection.

Flamini immediately issued orders to the "Apprentice" in his squad over the communications channel.

The "Apprentice" raised his hand and placed it on the passageway, opening a large door.

Two "Arbiter" rushed in first, crashing into the Void Caste and crushing their bodies.

Their blue and white hammers slammed into the ground, crushing the plastic human bodies of the Void Caste.

Flamini, with his precognitive vision and ability to anticipate the future, clearly read the pace of the battle.

The team advanced at a speed exceeding that of other assault teams.

Suddenly, a corner of the turntable in Flamini's line of sight shattered, revealing a scene.

[Psyker! He's planted a Psionic Energy bomb in the power room! He's going to detonate the space station's power core.]

Flamini raced along, stepping over a series of ominous images of the shattering turntable.

The images of the future and the present intertwined and blurred in his eyes, making his steps somewhat unsteady.

Seeing his erratic, left-right footsteps, the other Shadow of Order couldn't help but feel a hint of worry in their dark eyes.

The Psyker Caste had just strode into the power room when they ran into a squad of black-armored Warrior.

Before the Psionic Energy shield he raised could even cover his body, a dazzling beam of light shot towards him.

As the beam of light struck the Psyker Caste, blasting him into dust, Flamini felt as if stars were shattering within him, he thought to himself.

I became a real "monster".

Nimrod led his guards and captured the Star Ring of Gardinal within five days.

He stood in the control room of Station One, listening to the "Archaeologist's" report.

"Father, we discovered a completely new Standard Template Construct for controllers within the modules that make up the control system."

"Through it, all space stations will be connected together, becoming a single entity."

Nimrod smiled and nodded, "Well done."

[As a powerful pocket Imperium, Gardinal retains many STCs from the Dark Mechanicum Era; the Star Ring STC is a good start.]
