The Endymion Star Cluster, Serenity 2, was the home world of the Mantis Warriors in the past. It was also one of the most prosperous places in the Maelstrom area. However, it was devastated in the Badab War. The Man-Eating Shark Chapter destroyed the entire Mantis Warriors base and The equipment and materials in the armory were looted, and a generation of young and middle-aged men on the planet were forced to kill each other - this is a common method used by the Shark Chapter to recruit new blood, known as the "blood tax".郋
After completing their "blood for blood", the Shark Chapter fleet once again left the sight of the Empire and continued their unfinished journey of exile, leaving scars that can never be recovered to this day.
After the Badab War, the entire economy, technology, and culture of Serenity 2 regressed for hundreds of years, and the population plummeted from more than 10 billion to less than 5 billion, so much so that there are still rumors on the planet that banditry is like a comb, and soldiers are like a comb. Grate's statement, and due to the loss of the privileged status of the Astartes homeworld, the people of Serenity 2 had to continue to bear the tithe tax obligations that they had not fulfilled for hundreds of years after suffering huge war losses.
However, after the new expedition was launched, due to its unique position at the route hub, the expeditionary force's logistics operation centers in the two theaters of Endymion were established here. Serenity 2 began to receive many war dividends, and the expeditionary force's logistics transfer The center provides a large number of jobs, and at the same time, the large amount of material movement has allowed the port of Tranquility 2 to develop unprecedentedly, and the logistics purchase orders of the expeditionary force have also revived the local industry. A large number of soldiers and fleets have stayed here, which has brought a huge amount of goods. At the same time, the logistics department of the Expeditionary Force also established this place as a military coupon issuance center and established a military coupon office. Therefore, Tranquility 2 also has a very unique financial center status in the entire sector, attracting a large number of immigrants and debts. Traders, merchants, mercenaries and speculators came here.
However, although the market has prospered, the damage to the former hive city is not so easy to repair. Therefore, the main hive city of Serenity 2 has become very expensive, especially the well-preserved areas of the middle and upper hive city, so a large number of Penniless outsiders had to crowd into the more devastated ghettos.
The Spider District is one of the many slums where honest people are careful to set foot. The unkempt burrows cling to the metal cliffs like barnacles, and you can still see the marks carved by the light spears of the battleships of the Astartes Chapter in the past. The only traces of security that bind these blocks to each other are iron bars of dubious quality and frayed ropes, the corners of which are stuffed with acrid asphalt.
But in fact, hope is the most important glue of everything. Once external disturbances disrupt this barely balanced building complex, when steel, hemp rope, asphalt and hope all fail, the entire slum will Falling from the sky without any surprise.
It is extremely dangerous to walk on the completely suspended boardwalk in the Spider District. You can even clearly see the shining blue air flowing between the gaps between the board and the suspended cableway. You can see it by lowering your head when walking on it. The huge drainage system of the hive city, if it falls, it is likely to fall directly onto the wasteland of the hive city.郋
Many thieves prowling the alleys of the slums will push their prey off cliffs while robbing their property, admiring their ridiculous efforts in mid-air, if they are not caught by swarms of hive scavengers. , the road between mortals and the door of death will be long enough for them to smoke the last cigarette in their pockets.
While most of the residents are penniless poor, exiles, and criminals, some choose to go there in search of excitement or work.
If you have a drink with a mysterious person, you may be able to make a deal or buy some secrets. The Spider District is a place where people who like to avoid attracting attention gather, regardless of their wealth or status. It is located on the cliff. Fringe ghettos are attractive to those with a certain mindset.
When Serenity 2 regained its vitality due to the war, the Spider District also became the main information trading place in the hive city. Many forces and gangs have agents or departments here. For a place that is so convenient for processing corpses, it is obviously very suitable. Deal with secrets.
On the edge of this area, one of the most famous bars in the Spider District is hidden in the shell of an old abandoned church. When it was first built, it was tightly stuck to the rock. It is difficult to imagine what the original pastor's beliefs were. Such a church was built, and a not-so-shaky boardwalk led to a small door opened on the side of the church. The interior, which had been completely decorated as a business premises, was shrouded in a layer of smoke, and the dirty stained windows that were split in two cast a shadow. In the colorful light, shady secrets are gathering like a crowd.
Such is the case with short men like Dogo Koje.
In fact, the empire's hives have never lacked aliens. Whether they are aggressive or not, human messy hives will always attract some outsiders.郋
The history of the Wotan Alliance's activities on Serenity 2 can be traced back to the early days of human colonization of the planet, when they established their first covert office.
For a long time since then, the commercial activities of the Wotan Alliance on Serenity 2 have been going on. During this period, it was interrupted due to the Badab War, and it basically resumed after the war. As for whether the planet’s administrators knew about this Kind of thing——
Who would hate technology products that are reliable, advanced, and don’t require the nagging of tech priests?
Moreover, Wotan is just a subhuman, not a heretic or an alien. Not only does he not make trouble, but he can also provide secret business taxes. Not many managers will refuse this kind of thing.
However, as the scale of trade expanded, the Wotan Alliance that established offices here also changed from the original Great Sorian Alliance to a top-ranked alliance with its own offices.
Today was the day when Dogo Koje, under the leadership of his Ymir Alliance, met with representatives from the Great Sorian Alliance.
In fact, he didn't want to come, because he hated those bastards who plagiarized and stole their own ideas, but after all, he was a member of the Ymir Alliance, and he still had to listen to what the headquarters said, but that didn't mean he would do it unconditionally. No furnace descendant will give in easily, even when facing his superiors.郋
Even from a Hearthborn perspective, Dogo Koje was not tall. He wore a leather jacket and black traveling pants, his beard spread like a napkin on his chest, and his weapons hidden behind his waist.
Although the Hearthborn will try their best to avoid fighting among their own kind, there will always be conflicts that cannot be bridged in business practices, and some conflicts cannot be resolved by law and courts. The internal peace of the Wotan Alliance is only relative to the chaotic galaxy. .
After entering the bar, he saw a representative sent by the Ymir Alliance, a dark-skinned human wearing very common gray overalls and a shaved head.
It seems incredible that a Wotan Alliance would send a human as a representative. In fact, the business activities of the Wotan Alliance are very flexible. They know that only humans are the most convenient to operate in human society, so they will hire a large number of human employees to serve themselves.
