Warhammer 40k Origins Stellaris Civilization Simulator

Calgar slowly stood up, staring at the slowly burning frontier on the star map, and whispered, "Send the word out. Have Sicarius lead the troops to assemble. Also, have the auxiliary legions ready to go. Let the xenos witness the power of Guilliman's scion."

The Empire Strikes Back has begun.

.........

When the Ultramarines' expeditionary fleet arrived at the battlefield, Helka's fleet had been circling the Eye of Damocles for a long time.

They deployed a large number of highly advanced war machines, and with their advanced intelligent systems, they collected combat information at any time to change their configurations, building a tide of war that continuously impacted the banks of the Imperial Fortress.

The Death Watch Chapter of the Eye of Damocles is struggling to hold on, relying on the consecrated relic-class defense system and orbital shield array on the fortress planet to resist Helka's offensive.

However, the enemy's endless tactics continued to suppress them, and every time the front line wavered, the fortress world gradually collapsed.

However, their long persistence finally paid off, and reinforcements from the Five Hundred Worlds finally arrived.

The Ultramarines landed first, and their ship-borne assault forces, led by Thunderhawk assault ships and Stormbird fighters, tore scars of battle on the battlefield.

The Astra Militarum's Anti-Space Corps ground-based defense forces and the Adeptus Titanus followed closely behind, deployed atop the fortresses and responding to Helka's orbital bombardment with relentless artillery fire.

Ultramarines Lord Calgar shouted the slogan "For the Emperor, for Humanity!" and personally led the Ultramarines to fight alongside the remaining warriors of the Death Watch. Their attack caused serious chaos in Helkar's battle formation.

The Ultramarines followed a step-by-step approach and used extremely solid defensive tactics to accurately contain the Federation's advance.

In this war, there is no mercy and no hesitation.

The soldiers of the empire are facing a battle of life and death.

The battle lasted for a full three hundred and sixty days and nights.

The attacks of the Helka Federation became more and more fierce. Their intelligent human regiments, multi-racial mixed brigades, and even machine gods continued to pour into the battlefield. Each attack was like a tide trying to devour the empire's defenses.

However, the Death Watch and the Ultramarines stood firm.

They built a new line of defense amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They crushed Helka's spirit and army regiments with fire and steel. These so-called demigods of the empire treated themselves as ordinary chess pieces, using their flesh and blood to fight against this unprecedented powerful enemy.

In the end, the Federation exhausted all its patience due to losses and delays. In addition, their faster-than-light system reached its limit of jump distance, and they also needed to clean up the mess of the newly occupied imperial world. In the end, they were the first to return home.

Despite the heavy losses suffered by the empire, the Eye of Damocles was finally managed to hold on.

However, this victory came at a high price. The entire northern star region has fallen, and the Empire is temporarily unable to launch a counterattack to recover these territories.

The mining world of Pavonis was occupied by Helka's legion, and the resources of the entire planet were quickly integrated to become a production base for Helka warships.

On the hive world of Ikar, the residents of the Lower Hive joyfully launched a rebellion using Federation-sponsored weapons, and then welcomed the alien army with food and drink.

The Dreyar Recruiting World, once an important source of manpower for the Empire, has now been bombed into ruins, and the remaining Astra Militarum troops on it have also declared surrender. It is no longer possible for the Empire to recruit any troops from there.

This victory was not a complete victory, but only a brief respite. The threat from Helka was not truly over, but only temporarily retreated.

This is just one of the countless wars that the Empire faces in this final era, and all this is just a pause.

Both sides were furious. The Empire, having learned of its powerful new enemy, would not give up on reclaiming its lost territory. The Federation, still basking in its victory, did not believe they should allow the decaying Empire to continue to exist.

The battle is not over yet, it's halftime.

90. To conquer the emperor, one must first destroy the chaos/death/beasts/spirits/dwarves

On the first day after the victory of the defense of the Eye of Damocles, on the fortress wall of the Eye of Damocles, the figure of the Ultramarines Lord Calgar stood like a sculpture.

His battle armor was scarred, the blue paint that symbolized the Ultramarines was covered with scorch marks left by the flames of battle. The golden trim on the shoulder armor reflected the starlight like a dying ember. His eyes were deep, staring into the distant void, the starry sky that once burned with the flames of destruction, now dead and silent.

He knew full well that these aliens, known as the Helka Federation, would not stop there. Their ample armaments indicated that their expansion had only just begun. Their war machines were still humming, their warships perhaps still being produced by the tens of thousands.

The Helka Confederation is another threat: a dangerous enemy with order and ideals, and unlike the Tau, who only talk about ideals, they put them into practice with force. It is not a disaster like Chaos or the Swarm, but an enemy, and the "civilization" it shows in battle makes it more dangerous.

The Ultramarines fought bloody battles for a whole year in the Battle of the Eye of Damocles. Numerous Ultramarines Successor Regiments were purged from their ranks, leaving only a handful of survivors.

The battle was fought at a heavy price. Every inch of land was stained red, and every fortress collapsed in the flames of war, but the Helka Federation was still not completely defeated. Their retreat was not due to lack of strength, but due to a shift in strategic focus.

What does this mean? It means that the war is not over, but the empire has temporarily won a chance to breathe.

Calgar knew the only thing he could do now was to send a war report to Terra immediately. He had to let the Imperial leadership know the threat they faced. They needed to deploy more defensive forces in the Far East. Otherwise, the Helka Federation's fleet would intrude from other directions next time, completely tearing through the Empire's defenses and even charging towards the core of the Five Hundred Worlds. Their strange engines, which didn't require warp-space guidance, were capable of doing just that.

He returned to the fortress and sat at a simple stone table. He took out a thick piece of parchment (probably made of sheep or similar animal skin), picked up a pen, and under the dim candlelight, he wrote down this crucial letter word by word. The relevant content would be made into both electronic and astronomical versions for multiple backups:

"To the Imperial High Lords Council:

We, the Ultramarines, have fought for a year at the Eye of Damocles. The battle is nearing its end, but this is not victory, but merely the prelude to disaster.

The Helka Confederation, a newly emerged xenos power, has shown its strength. In this year, they not only captured a large number of Imperial worlds, but also directly engaged the Ultramarines in battle, and did not lose.

The Ultramarines worked together to protect the sacred territory of the Imperium, but many Chapters were almost shattered and the defense was difficult to maintain. If it were not for the selfless sacrifice of the loyal sons and daughters of the Imperium and the miraculous protection of the Emperor, this place would have fallen long ago.

Even so, our losses were so severe that they were close to irreparable. The Helka Federation, however, still retained a vast military potential. Their retreat was not due to the Empire's victory, but rather because they had found a target that was more important than the Empire.

They will return, and the Empire cannot underestimate the xenos again.

The tragedy at the Eye of Damocles must serve as a wake-up call. The Empire needs to deploy more defensive forces in the Far East, rebuild fortresses, reinforce chapters, and strengthen interstellar fleet patrols. Otherwise, the forces here may not be able to mount a second defense the next time the Helka Federation's fleet arrives.

After this battle, we warriors will still hold our positions until the last man.

Highlord Marius Calgar, Chapter Master of the Ultramarines."

……

After finishing the letter, he sealed it and personally handed it to the courier. This letter would travel through the interstellar route to the heart of the empire: Terra. In that ancient and decaying palace, it would be reviewed and discussed by the high lords, and finally... slowly executed.

Calgar watched the courier depart. Logically, he should have been secretly delighted. As the saying goes, nurturing an enemy is a sign of self-preservation. A foe this dangerous meant the "special care" the Five Hundred Worlds received would be lessened, allowing their power, suppressed by the Empire, to recover. Guilliman's Second Empire core, as long as it remained unmolested by the First Empire, would naturally become the pillar of human power here.

But he felt only heaviness in his heart, for he was truly loyal to the Primarch and the ideals of the Imperium, and all that would please the Macragge people meant the downfall of the Imperium.

The empire has fallen to this day, why?

He recalled the glory of the Imperium's early days, when its Legions swept across the galaxy and its enemies trembled at the Emperor's will. Now, the Imperium was a shell of its former self, stifled by bureaucracy, endless internal strife, and religious fanaticism.

The Emperor was silent. The Imperium was on the brink of collapse, and what could he, a warrior, a descendant of the Primarch, do?

Perhaps... only his father, Roboute Guilliman, can save the Imperium.

But Guilliman has slumbered for ten thousand years. When will he awaken? Will he ever awaken again? If he cannot return, will the Imperium ultimately be destroyed?

Calgar clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. A faint click echoed from the armor's servos. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally stood up and walked towards the battlefield.

Even if the empire falls, he will still fight until the last moment.

.........

The Federation's current conquest of the southern star region has come to an end due to various circumstances.

The maximum speed of the hyperdrive and the observer effect limit the Federation's forces from advancing rapidly into deeper areas.

However, the Empire's resistance was more tenacious than they expected, and the Empire's front line in the Far East Star Region did not collapse as quickly as expected.

Imperial planets, filled with famine, decay, and chaos, cry out for our mercy.

But more importantly, the expansion fleets in other directions brought back even more noteworthy news: in the east, the fleet discovered a demonic world filled with corruption and depravity, a region deeply eroded by Chaos, a cancer that must be cleansed by the iron blood of the Federation. In the north, they encountered a full-scale attack by the greenskin "waaagh".

More cunning enemies are lurking in the dark and must be destroyed accurately by our continued troops.

Therefore, the top leaders of the Helka Federation held a second round of military deployment meetings, and they finally made a decision: to formally end the continued offensive against the southern star region and start patrolling and stabilizing the southern occupied areas.

The Federation then shifted its military focus to other fronts, giving the Empire a temporary respite.

.........

In the High Lords' Palace on Terra, the letter from Calgar, simply placed on the council table, would spark a spiral of quarrels. The center of the empire was caught in endless disputes, and the fate of the empire still hung in the balance.

However, we will not kill this weak Empire now, because there are many more disgusting things in the galaxy. The Federation must first completely destroy these abominations before considering whether to give this Empire a second blow.

Your sins are diminished by the heinous deeds of others; that is the norm in this galaxy.

It will probably be officially launched tomorrow.

There is not much to say specifically. The theme after this book is still the Stellar Civilization's grand plan to color the galaxy in the Warhammer universe.

I got into Warhammer through the Dawn of War series, and my interest in Warhammer lies in the exciting multi-race battles.

I have no interest at all in Huang Laohan's pet literature and the entangled and sentimental entanglements between the Primarchs, so you can't expect me to create some grand stage of Primarchs and loyalty.

I prefer content about the struggle for supremacy among various powers. I can be said to be an "alien power enthusiast". The struggle for supremacy in the galaxy is also the core theme of this book.

Subsequent content may also include some intrusions from the original Stellaris and mods, just like the previous Mental Omega, but it will generally be "localized" and will not cause the style to deviate too much from the overall background.

This book was really just written out of interest, so the results will just be up to fate. I plan to do my best to finish it no matter what.

That’s it for now, thanks to all the science fiction (doubtful) and space opera fans for their support.

Chapter 91 Northern Theater: Headhunter's WAAAGH!

Over the years, the Federation of Planets has evolved from a peaceful promoter of interstellar harmony to a freedom fighter that wields more laser guns than olive branches. This transformation is the result of the joint efforts of many barbaric tribes in the galaxy.

The Federation's first encounter with this kind of crazy and barbaric civilization, the Federation's first "teacher", was none other than those green Orks. To some extent, we should even be a little grateful to this species.

According to the culture of the orcs, there is only one way to express gratitude that they recognize.

Eliminate all the greenskins from the Federation's star field without leaving a single one alive!

Both we and the greenskins will be very satisfied with this way of communication.

……

In the Alsanta galaxy in the north of the Federation, a war has been going on for a long time.

This is not a battlefield between the Helka Federation and the Empire, but another kind of war, a confrontation with an endless green tide.

Several core planets in the Alsanta system are home to a typical Ork world, where countless Orc tribes have established their barbaric fortresses, relying on constant warfare and plunder to grow stronger.

For many years, they remained in a stable backward state, because the Greenskins' genetic technology knowledge required high-intensity warfare to activate. If they did not encounter the attack of advanced enemies, the Greenskin tribes themselves would only develop at a very slow pace.

But not long ago, this situation was broken. A powerful orc warlord rose in Alsanta. Although it was unclear whether he was from another galaxy or a leader among the local orcs, this did not affect his huge threat.

The Ork warlord Gorguz the Headhunter is one of the most notorious warlords in the sector.

During decades of fighting, Gorguz led his orc army to plunder countless greenskin strongholds and disintegrate one greenskin tribe after another that challenged him. He was able to gain the upper hand in every battle, and his Waaagh became more and more powerful.

He is a clever Orc who is better at tactics, ambushes, and strategic planning than pure brute force. In other words, he is a master of strategy. His motto is simply one sentence: "He who has a head is smarter than he who has no head, and he who has brains is stronger than he who has no brains."

When the Helka Federation's fleet arrived at the Alsanta system, they expected it to be just an ordinary campaign of conquest. The Helka Federation's war logic was simple—rely on advanced technology, absolute firepower, and flawless tactics to crush the forces of the old order across the galaxy, one battle at a time.

In the first year of the battle, Helka's mixed space and army corps easily destroyed the asteroid orc stronghold outside Gokul and annihilated hundreds of millions of orc soldiers.

Their spiritual rituals and intelligent tactical AI put the orcs in a completely passive position. Their weapons were useless in front of Helka's energy shield, and their tactics were completely seen through by Helka's computing core.

However, the war with the greenskins will never be as simple and easy as it seems.

The Greenskins are one of the most peculiar races in the galaxy. They evolve not through scientific research, but through warfare. The more they are suppressed, the more their technogenes activate, and the stronger they become.

When the war between the Helka Federation and Gokul entered its second year, the orcs led by Goguz began to become "smarter".

They began to build an inefficient, faulty, but still usable production line for space warfare equipment, modifying various scrap materials to form a crude battle fleet.

Numerous interstellar giants, orc monoliths, and even actual battleships rapidly ascended. Many of these warships were even equipped with advanced energy shields comparable to void shields. These orks were able to utilize energy field technology on a large scale, which was truly remarkable.

Then all these ships crashed. There was no way. No energy shield could withstand the fragmentation weapons, not even the Federation’s own energy shield.

Only the void shield and the space-time deflection shield of the Necromancer can offset the ion fission flow by "skipping classes". Resisting it head-on is just seeking death, so the space army that the orcs had painstakingly assembled was blown to pieces within a day.

So did the greenskins lose?

I'm afraid not.

……

As the Helka Confederation's disruptor weapons tore through space, shredding the Orks' carefully crafted warships, the Headhunter Goguz of Alsanta watched from his Iron Throne.

His mouth opened, revealing a row of sharp fangs. Instead of being angry, he was trembling with excitement.
