StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Viridia Prime is a jewel in the Crown World of the Terran Confederation. This is a prosperous and beautiful world, with lush forests, steep mountains and flowing water, and magnificent blue oceans.

From the ground to orbital residential stations and satellites in outer space, highly modern cities are dotted with buildings and bright lights.

Viridia has a very complete education system and sound infrastructure. Ambitious local inter-system enterprises, leading scientific research institutions and developed tourism and other pillar industries provide the vast majority of jobs. The employment rate in Viridia is stable, and the happiness index of the settlement has always been at an extremely high level among many worlds in the Tyranid Federation.

Just a few weeks ago, an unprecedented riot swept across the entire planet of Viridia Prime.

From large surface cities to orbital residential stations, what started as strikes, school closures, and demonstrations soon evolved into a horrific armed riot.

When those young and enthusiastic youths, college students, progressives and workers took the lead in storming factories and government offices, a large number of police intervened in the riot, which within a few days turned into bloody conflicts between the people and the security forces.

People began to throw bombs at riot police and even armored vehicles, beating federal police officers to death when they went out alone. Attack groups of unemployed vagrants who take advantage of chaos to attack pedestrians, rob, and rob the property of the elite. The security forces of Viridiana, who initially showed extreme restraint, had to fight back, exchanging fire with rioters armed with guns in the city center and even in the streets.

Over the course of weeks, the riots in Veridia had left thousands dead and many more injured, with some dragged into the streets and beaten simply for wearing federal uniforms. By the end of the day, crazed anti-government activists and radicals had taken over, and the original rioters were nowhere to be found.

During the period when the Earth's UED expeditionary force invaded, the Korhal rebels successively captured many important peripheral worlds and key locations. The incompetent Veridia government actually expected the riot to quell on its own, resulting in numerous casualties and economic losses of hundreds of billions.

Viridia Prime is in chaos, with rebels and security forces confronting each other in the streets. Cities burned, order and economy declined rapidly.

In the end, even the mobilization of federal marines was only to make up for the situation.

And in the third week of the riots on Viridia Prime, the riots have not stopped.

On July 4, 2493, a large number of transition signals suddenly appeared in the Viridia galaxy, appearing in the bright starry sky. Thousands of battleships and spaceships jumped out of the whirlpool of blue arcs, and fierce battles broke out. The battle extends from geostationary orbit to the surface.

"Who is the leader of the underground revolutionary party organization in Veridia?"

Augustus was not on his flagship Hyperion at the moment, but in a forest outside the Victoria Administrative Region in the southern hemisphere of Veridia. This is a forest of giants, with eucalyptus-like trees rising straight into the sky, with the tallest tree reaching a height of six hundred feet.

Among the rapidly constructed modular structure supply stations and satellite orbital stations, a majestic command center is standing in the sunshine.

The sky is like a clean and flawless blue curtain, and the sunlight coats the rolling clouds with a golden glow, which is so beautiful.

"Karen Shaw, he studied at the Central University of Korhal City in Umoyan. He is a very outstanding young man. He is thoughtful, loyal and reliable." Kerrigan stood in front of Augustus. around.

"I don't remember that I ever gave an order for him to provoke riots in Veridia." Augustus was dressed in a neat grass-gray military uniform, with his power armor resting on the supply rack next to him.

"That was not done by Xiao. It was Castor Mezzo, the leader of the federal resistance organization. He single-handedly planned the uprisings in many places, including the Veridia Star Port and the Nelifaan Administrative Region." Kerrigan reported to Augustus.

"In Veridia, there may be hundreds of thousands of people following this person named Wanzo. Before we arrived, people from this organization were fighting against the federal government of Veridia."

"There are many such organizations in the Tyranid Federation. There are many more of them than the Federation Council knows, but most of them are unscrupulous organizations. Most of them are losers in society, anarchists and Other people from three religions and nine schools." Arcturus was holding a set of telescopes and observing the main city of Viridia in the distance.

Outside the capital administrative district is a large area of ​​hills and rivers. Beautiful gray walls surround elegant garden-style buildings. The spherical hydroponic farms made of white glass are like a ring of jewels on the periphery of the city, just like pearls in a clam shell.

The main city of Veridia is a giant city built with glass curtain walls and fine steel frames. The huge skytrain tracks are like silver-gray haloes set over the city. There, high-speed maglev trains are running across the entire city, and advertisements are still playing on huge screens.

The city bears a resemblance to Korhal's Stirring, which inevitably makes Arcturus, who has always been ruthless, a little more sentimental.

The sound of artillery rumbled in the distance, and long-range railguns and missiles streaked across the sky above the main city of Veridia, like blue pops flying along the arc boundary of the horizon and the sky. Rows of fighter planes lined up like plumes in the sky. A flock of geese.

At this moment, two temporarily formed revolutionary army groups commanded by Generals Pryor and Duke were advancing towards the main city of Veridia.

The former is mainly a mixed force of the Sala Assault Division and the Antiga Marine Division, with six divisions and more than 80,000 men under its command, while the latter leads Alpha's two divisions of about 30,000 men.

After the Battle of Norris Guard VI, Alpha Squadron, which suffered heavy casualties, was able to recruit a large number of soldiers from the Norris Resocialization Plant. Alpha Squadron was composed primarily of resocialized soldiers, and Duke was more willing to lead resocialized soldiers than Revolutionary Army officers who might disobey his orders.

Among the revolutionary army, only Alpha Squadron and Nova Squadron have a large number of resocialized soldiers, and their acceptance of such soldiers is obviously higher.

"I have heard of this man Castel Vanzo. He is a famous rebel leader." As the leader of the revolutionary army, Augustus is also paying attention to potential allies and others in the Koprulu sector. of federal resistance forces.

"Where is he?" he asked Kerrigan.

"More than ten hours ago, Castor Vanzo appeared in public, calling on the people of Veridia not to give up the struggle, swearing that victory was close at hand." Kerrigan blinked his jade-green eyes.

"Where are the others now?"

"This man has always been very cautious, and will disappear completely every once in a while. It is said that he is also used to using a substitute to attract attention." Kerrigan replied: "The Tyranid Federation has been chasing him for the past few years."

"Angelini, bring him to me." Augustus raised his head.

"I need more information to locate his location." Angelini also wore a blue and white ghost combat uniform. The clear muscles under the tights were as hard as steel. Unlike Kerrigan, Angelini wore a helmet instead of goggles, which contained cutting-edge equipment such as mechanically assisted prosthetic eyes and a level tester.

"I am uploading to the microcomputer of your helmet. The target information and mission briefing have been displayed on your HUD display." Kerrigan said immediately.

"Our agents and intelligence personnel on Viridia Prime have been keeping a close eye on this man."

"I have a suggestion." Arcturus said at this time: "Lieutenant Angelini, you can check it from the main star port in Veridia."

"That's a good idea," Angelini said before disappearing.

Sacco Angelini has proven his abilities in many missions and emergencies. He is not only a powerful psychic agent, but also a leader with excellent leadership skills. As a powerful psychic who can read people's minds, Angelini also knows how to gain the trust of his subordinates and command them to serve him.

It is worth mentioning that Angelini refused to kill for the Tyranid Federation, but was willing to work hard for Augustus. This is a lonely but extremely proud man who only does what he thinks is right.

"If this man was smart enough, he should have escaped long ago." Arcturus gently twisted his neck.

"At this time, there are many opportunistic people like him. If he really wants to save the people, why doesn't he come to us."

"Don't think that the Revolutionary Army's brand name is too valuable." Augustus didn't think so: "There are many people who want to go it alone. They think that they are the one who will eventually overthrow the Federation, and I am just lucky. The unknown person."

"I have watched videos of Castor Vanzo's speeches and even read his books. However, Vanzo gives me an unreal feeling." He turned to Arcturus and said.

"This man has been shouting at the top of his lungs, constantly criticizing the atrocities of the federal government, but he never tells his followers what to do specifically. He tells people to use violence to confront the federal government and achieve his goals through destruction, but he never tells people who follow him what to do. After provoking a riot, he disappeared without a trace."

"I want to see what kind of person he is," he said.

"Augustus, the uprising led by Castel Vanzo was a complete disaster. Even if he really wanted to save and liberate Veridia, he must be a complete fool." After joining the revolutionary army, Arcturus, like Augustus, became fond of summarizing the wars they launched with liberation.

"But look what he did - he stirred up people's hatred of the Federation but then did nothing. He neither provided weapons and equipment nor provided any military training to the insurrectionists, but let them fight with the Federation's electromagnetic rifles and How can there be any chance of winning if we fight with stainless steel armor?" he said.

"Has he never thought about how many people he will kill? Without us, the uprising on Viridia Prime will definitely fail. Even Angus is a hundred times stronger than him."

"This is not like what you are saying." Augustus knew that if he did not have time to save his family and the tens of millions of people in Korhal IV, what Arcturus would do would be nothing like this Vanzo difference.

"Vilidia was originally ours, and the locals' support for the revolution has always been very high." Arcturus had already regarded Viridia as the planet under his rule: "Look Look what this idiot has done, he's withdrawing money from my bank card."

"Haha." Augustus couldn't help laughing when he heard Arcturus's words. He turned around and sighed again: "Mar Sara's uprising has taught me many lessons."

At this time, the sound of artillery fire coming from the main city of Veridia became even more deafening. Judging from the reports coming back from the front line, the revolutionary army has already entered the city. As long as we capture this place, it is only a matter of time before we capture the entire main planet of Veridia.

Castor Vanzo's uprising was still of great use. As early as a few weeks there were rumors that the revolutionary army was about to attack Veridia.

As one of the main star worlds of the Tyranid Federation, the defensive power of Veridia Prime is not weak. Augustus's revolutionary army also experienced a hard battle for dozens of hours before landing on the surface of Viridia. The combat effectiveness of the Viridian Federation garrison was not even inferior to that of Tarsonis' elite troops.

Viridia Prime is a core world that Augustus must capture. It is closer to Brontë Prime and is near the attack route of the UED expeditionary force. Tarsonis is hundreds of light years away.

In Veridia, Augustus can closely follow every move of the UED expeditionary force and formulate strategies in a timely manner. And as long as the UED commander is not crazy, he will not attack the revolutionary army.

This time, once Augustus occupied Veridia, he would not leave easily. The planet's economic level and large number of factories can provide weapons and supplies for the revolutionary army, and there is a large population that can be recruited.

It's just that the relatively advanced and wealthy core worlds in the Tyranid Federation don't really look forward to the arrival of the Revolutionary Army. If their world serves as the main battlefield in the war between the Revolutionary Army and the Federation Army, there is no guarantee that they will not suffer the same fate as Korhal IV. .

Viridia is within the range of Tarsonis' nuclear deterrent.

"Pryor's command has entered the main city of Veridia, his troops are still advancing, and the defenders of Veridia are retreating." Kerrigan said to Augustus at this time: "Du Gram's men also defeated the two main federal divisions guarding the city."

"This general named Pryor is really good at fighting." Arcturus said: "I heard that he was originally the governor of Mar Sara. I never imagined that you would actually let a governor serve as a military commander. "

"The Governor is a rare talent with both literary and military skills." Augustus said in his heart. In the game, the only invincible human player character is the Captain of the UED Expeditionary Force, except for the Governor of Mar Sara of the Tyranid Federation. .
