What should never be forgotten is what kind of future we expected at that moment when we decided to spend the rest of our lives on the battlefield.
——Fujimaru Ritsuka
——
Fujimaru Ritsuka, also known as the "Night Star", was one of the twenty Primarchs created by the Emperor of Mankind. She grew up on the hellish planet Nostramo, but with almost no one to teach her, through her long-term efforts, she successfully transformed this living hell into a civilization with orderly society and people who knew the rules and regulations. planet.
Of all the Emperor's extraordinary creations, Fujimaru Ritsuka was the only Primarch whose body shape was identical to that of a mortal, and did not appear to have anything extraordinary about it; she was also the only female Primarch. No one has yet understood why the Emperor did this, but perhaps it was for this reason that she was the gentlest and most emotionally stable of the Primarchs.
To her credit, she has been plagued since birth by her gift of overly detailed prophecy, but she has managed to transform it into a powerful tool. At the end of the Great Crusade, after the betrayal of Warmaster Horus, she led some of her legions to pretend to surrender to the Warmaster, and then sent another small force to warn the empire in advance.
In the massacre at the landing site, Fujimaru Ritsuka was ultimately killed in battle by Istavan V while covering the evacuation of the Loyalist Legion.
1. Life
[experience as a child]
According to records, the nursery cabin carrying the young Fujimaru Ritsuka fell from the sky, cut through the eternal night of Nostramo like a fireball, and fell to the surface of this sinful star.
Nostramo's crust contains large amounts of fine gold deposits, which has led to the development of a huge mining production chain on the entire planet. But this kind of goods, which is in short supply throughout the galaxy, has not allowed the people on it to live a prosperous life. On the contrary, the vast majority of the population on Nostramo struggled to survive in extreme poverty and heavy labor, while the wealthy dignitaries occupying the top of the pyramid naturally reigned above it all. There is no real law here except for the purges and tyranny implemented by the aristocracy. Extreme criminal behavior spreads wantonly on the planet. Cannibalism and murder are regarded as normal behaviors here. Looting and torture are ordinary daily entertainment. Depression causes Suicide became the main means of reducing the surplus population. There is no doubt that this is a hell that has been inappropriately left on earth.
Almost at the same time that Fujimaru Ritsuka left the nursery cabin, she had already realized what she would encounter on this planet through her cursed talent, and also realized the consequences of this cruel and cruel planet. The nature of sin. Unlike most of the other Primarchs, Ritsuka Fujimaru was not adopted by anyone on the planet. Even when she was ignorant, her prophecy told her that most people on this planet were untrustworthy, so she wisely chose to hide herself and barely survived in the darkness of Quintus City on her own. Come down and never stop observing this terrible world.
[Long Night Star]
Perhaps Fujimaru Ritsuka had heard the emperor's noble and majestic whispers as early as the beginning of his life. Without anyone to teach her, and relying on the primarch's extraordinary mind and extraordinary abilities, she should have learned all the arts of deception, crime and murder in this crucible of evil, and become a queen of Nostramo. The fallen queen of the dark world, but she didn't.
Fujimaru Ritsuka has long been driven by a natural and simple sense of justice that comes naturally from the bottom of her heart. She despised the aristocrats who exacted excessive taxes and were greedy, but she felt even more sad for the insensitive and ignorant lower-class workers. She spent a lot of time walking among the workers, trying to change their living conditions and help them obtain enough supplies to survive. She even made simple musical instruments out of industrial waste without a teacher, hoping to use music as an almost An art form that can be appreciated without knowledge tells them that the future can be beautiful and full of hope - but this does not solve the underlying problem and therefore always achieves little success.
In the process, she often had to deal with gangs with various factions in the city, and even upper-class nobles who heard about her specialness. After experiencing several meetings that eventually turned into unfriendly conflicts, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who seemed too naive and kind in such a cruel world, finally realized that there was no "softer" solution to many things.
So the violent attacks began. First there are the mine supervisors, and then there are the killers and gangsters sent by the nobles, the criminal gangs that control the industrial chain. She seized a large amount of weapons and equipment from these places, and then piled them in front of the mine. She told all the confused but numb miners: They could choose to stay where they were and wait until the nobles who owned the mine realized what was going on. accident, and then be executed meaninglessly; you can also choose to take up weapons and follow her, and die in a fight with the oppressor - but this is by no means meaningless, there will be other people in a similar situation to you who will see Your resistance and your death will make others realize that the perpetrators are flesh and blood just like you, and they can also feel pain and fear, and they can also die. And the more people realize this, the closer the Nostramo people are to a "better life."
No one understood what the so-called "better life" meant, and in the beginning, there were only a few people who responded to this call. But as time goes by, the scale of the conflict gradually expands, and the control of the nobility and gangs becomes weaker and weaker in the areas on the edge of the city. The numb workers begin to realize that there may really be hope for change in their lives. More and more people choose to take up arms instead of waiting to die in silence, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's resistance team grows stronger. In this way, the small-scale resistance gradually turned into a large-scale uprising over time, and the beacon fire of war gradually ignited the entire city.
As the leader of the rebel army, Fujimaru Ritsuka spent eight years completely ruling Quintus, the fifth city on Nostramo. During this period, she also realized that once these people who had been oppressed for a long time were removed from the shackles of ideological numbness and servility, the outburst of desire for revenge would also be correspondingly terrifying and cruel. The cruel environment of Nostramo can only teach everyone: the only law is the edge, and the only right belongs to the strong who dominates everything. In order to restrain this, she spent a lot of time formulating laws and setting up institutions to ensure that it was correctly executed. Until Quintus completely became a civilized city that could guarantee the survival of the weak under such a rule, she Only then did he turn his attention to other cities on this planet.
In just one year, with a lot of accumulation, Fujimaru Ritsuka easily acquired the other four cities on Nostramo. She executed all the nobles and criminals who had committed crimes against the common people, and threw their relatives and accomplices into prison. The people who ruled the city were educated workers under the nobility who were elected through a proper process and required to enforce appropriate laws fairly and strictly.
On the day when the workers at the bottom were completely liberated, cheerful music resounded through all the streets and alleys in the city. People celebrated and thanked Fujimaru Ritsuka for pointing them to a "better life" and spontaneously began to say She is the "Star of the Long Night", which means that she always hangs high in the sky selflessly in the endless darkness, pointing out the direction for them to move forward next.
In Fujimaru Ritsuka's own plan, after making this initial achievement, she plans to establish a normal medical and educational system to lay the foundation for a more reliable and longer-running political system, and Attempts began to clean up Nostramo's atmosphere, which was heavily polluted by the mining industry. But thanks to her very useful but often tormenting gift of prophecy, she obviously knew exactly what was going to happen next.
Unlike when she was drafting the bill, she did not have much involvement in the practical work of these plans, but split them up and entrusted them to others she believed to be credible. Amid these people's doubts, anxieties, and excuses that they thought they were incompetent, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked up at the dark sky of Nostramo and said: She had foreseen that she would not be able to stay on this planet forever.
