In order to ensure the stable operation of the Star Ocean Community, the community will also establish five permanent directors.
Permanent directors have greater decision-making authority and have the final say on major security matters.
These five council seats will be occupied by the following five civilizations based on the community's voting weight: Helka headquarters, Helka's first, second and third vassal states, and the Tau Empire.
This is a constructive and harmonious...
Special guest Trazyn the Infinite couldn't help but sarcastically say, "This is simply a one-man show in the Star Sea."
Blue Dragon's foreign affairs director, Indigo, was furious upon hearing this. "How dare you, a mere Ironheart Exterminator, question the Federation's democratic process? Do you think there are no genetic warriors among us? And that's not to mention your attempt to crack the key to the Museum of Natural History. Someone, get out!"
At least it was a harmonious conference for the most part.
165
Chapter 165 The Burning Crusade.
The Federation decided to transform the planet where the community's founding conference was held into a super city planet and named it Coruscant. It will be the designated meeting place for the future Star Ocean Community.
By consuming the workload of an ascension project, Coruscant became a super-city planet with 150 standard districts, an absolute wonder in the entire galaxy.
……
So on this day, at this moment, Coruscant was ablaze with light, as if the entire planet were bathed in a carnival that would never fade away.
Hundreds of thousands of starships patrol this galaxy to prevent any hostile forces from coveting it.
Coruscant, once just an ordinary colony on the edge of the Helka Federation headquarters, is now the political heart of the galaxy.
Above its steel surface, the new Senate Hall has been put into use, and today is the day for it to welcome its first visitors and make its first decision that will affect the galaxy.
……
Outside the parliament hall, the flag of the Star Ocean Community slowly rose and fluttered in the sky.
This flag represents all civilizations that uphold the idea of community. They were once hostile to each other, suspicious of each other, and even fought each other, but now stand together here and pledge allegiance to the same belief.
Under the flag, the virtual projection of the Star Ocean Community representative made a voice.
He said: "The Star Ocean Community is established today."
This sentence appeared simultaneously on countless screens, holographic projections and broadcasts in millions of languages through the superluminal communication network, spanning the distance of the stars and resonating throughout the universe.
Today, the Federation completed the establishment of the Star Ocean Community and the Pan-Galaxy Trade Market, as well as the election of permanent Star Ocean directors.
And now, the permanent member is going to use his power.
……
Yuan Bo stood at the head of the council table beneath the massive Star Ocean Community banner. This Dragonborn Archon stood tall and majestic, like a statue.
As the new supreme leader of the Helka Federation, he is also the first chief director of the Star Ocean Community. He is a role that can determine the future changes of the Far East Star Region.
With the fire of his power, he cast a huge shadow on the wall, but he himself was not small.
When looking at Yuan Bo, the unicorn among the clowns could feel that what he saw was not a living creature, but an incarnation of a living world soul. He felt extremely surprised.
"Dear delegates, dear leaders, dear compatriots,"
Yuan Bo's voice was steady and powerful. "Today, we stand at a turning point in history. Today, we are no longer isolated empires, tribes, or individuals, but a community connected by a shared destiny."
"The universe is vast, brimming with unexplored possibilities and opportunities that can bring us prosperity. But at the same time, it is also cruel and unforgiving. History as we know it has long proven that backwardness means destruction, and weakness means enslavement."
"Today, we stand here not to celebrate a loose alliance, but to witness the birth of a new galactic order, advanced and powerful, capable of protecting all."
His eyes swept across the conference hall, and every delegate could feel his gaze, as if he was piercing their souls.
"Our community needs to be strong, for we do not live in a peaceful idyll. The entire galaxy is caught in an all-encompassing superpower war, the War in Heaven."
……
This sentence caused the venue to fall into a brief silence, but soon people began to discuss in low voices.
The War in Heaven, this word means another unprecedented turmoil, a replay of the decisive battle for hegemony in the long past, and the winner's prize is everything.
Those ancient empires and even higher-dimensional psychic entities are all looking for opportunities to win this war, and their fighting will sweep across the galaxy.
The Star Community, as a newly born alliance of forces, must quickly decide its position.
"Faced with this battle from which no one can stay out, we have two choices."
Yuan Bo's voice continued to echo in the meeting hall, "Either become the ashes that are swept away, or become the blazing flames that burn the enemy."
His tone became extremely sharp, shocking everyone's mind.
"In this war, we must sweep away the remnants of the old ways and assert our supremacy. Our community's survival depends on eradicating those outdated forces that, despite their decay, still seek to dictate the future of the galaxy."
His voice suddenly rose, passionate and fanatical: "And the first enemy we must eliminate is the Human Empire!"
When a representative heard this, he immediately started applauding. That was the representative of the Losatl people, a race that looked like the dog-headed people in the fantasy world.
The members of this species, whose home planet had been destroyed by the Empire, were now eagerly shouting their support: "No mercy!"
The Human Empire, a powerful human regime that once spanned the galaxy, is now in ruins, but it cannot atone for its past sins.
Its actions during the Great Crusade and afterwards were deeply hated by many interstellar civilizations, and many civilizations here have a deep hatred for it.
In order to demonstrate that he had the strength to achieve this goal and tear down the dilapidated church built by the Human Emperor, Yuan Bo waved his hand and a holographic image unfolded in the center of the venue, projecting an extremely large fleet, the fleet controlled by the Helka Federation.
……
It was an endless ocean of steel, with Lost Battlecruisers, Scourge Cruisers, and Wrathful Moon Colossi... The number of these warships was enough to obscure the brilliance of any star.
“That’s our strength.”
Yuan Bo smiled slightly, "This is enough power to change the history of the galaxy."
He held out his hand, palm up, as if holding up the entire galaxy: "This force must act in the best interests of the community. They will bring about a war that will benefit us all."
"Therefore, I hereby propose to launch an expedition to Macragge, the core of the Five Hundred Worlds of the Human Empire, and eliminate the Empire's largest stronghold in the Far Eastern Star Region!"
Then he asked the community to vote on the proposal. In fact, there was nothing worth voting for. The Federation’s diplomatic weight was too high, and its wish would come true.
Yuan Bo's proposal was passed with almost no suspense and with a very high vote. Even some races that had once doubted this war had no choice but to support it after seeing the endless fleet.
So the war of conquest named the Burning Crusade is about to begin. The Community will completely eliminate all threats posed by the Human Empire, a backward force that does not tell others about its own interstellar human rights.
Finally, Yuan Bo gave a passionate speech at the mobilization meeting of the community members, describing the community's ambitions and hegemony:
"Let our enemies tremble at the beginning of this expedition, and let them know that we are not a beacon shining a glimmer of light in troubled times, but a torch burning the sky. When we arrive, all the old world will be burned to ashes!"
"Let the expedition continue to the end of the stars in the east."
……
In the distance, in the audience seats of the community conference hall, several old acquaintances were watching the magnificent scene before them with great interest.
This time, Grey Wind changed into an outfit similar to that of a battle nun, as if she were an apostle of some god, but her expression was still nonchalant.
She spoke to the empty seat beside her and expressed the true feelings behind the Federation's rhetoric: "That's what they call hypocrisy. I think he simply complains that the map has too many color blocks."
Time and space itself did not respond to Gray Wind's mumbling.
"You're really obsessed with that guy."
Gray Wind held his forehead with his hand. "It's because he was willing to go into the black hole to find you last time, but you still didn't understand..."
Yunru, who was originally excited by the speech, was confused by Xiaohui. She asked Xiaohui curiously, "Who are you talking to? You clearly haven't opened the communication channel or connected to the Thought Union Network."
"Air friends, everyone has them."
Gray Wind chuckled.
Yunru frowned: "Nano robots have air friends?"
"You jump to conclusions because you don't understand nanointelligence."
Gray Wind waved his hand, avoiding the question. "The meeting is almost over. Let's go see how the hammer is doing. Ruo Ken must have put so much effort into it."
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Yunru didn't want to ask any more questions: "It's up to you."
They quietly left the bustling venue and headed to another place that would change the history of the galaxy.
……
A few months later, the Human Empire received a formal declaration of war from the Star Community.
This declaration of war echoed in every corner of the Five Hundred Worlds through astrologer, quantum transmission, and conventional electronic communications.
To the current and legitimate ruler of the Empire of Man:
Whereas the Human Empire has long pursued an extremely xenophobic policy, implemented discriminatory measures against many intelligent races in the galaxy, severely undermined interstellar peace, and supported, through various means, malicious psychic entities' actions that endanger the normal stability of the universe;
Whereas the Human Empire has repeatedly refused to engage in equal dialogue with members of the Star Ocean Community, refused to accept the principles of mutual trust, cooperation, and equality advocated by the Community, and has continued to engage in hostile actions against other intelligent species;
Whereas the Human Empire has systematically oppressed both non-humans and human citizens within its territory and has repeatedly violated the legitimate interests of neighboring nations through the use of force, posing a serious interstellar humanitarian crisis;
After careful evaluation, the Supreme Council of the Star Community has determined that the Human Empire has become a serious threat to galactic peace and order. Its existence has hindered the common development of various civilizations and posed a long-term hidden danger to the security of the member states of the Star Community.
In order to maintain galactic stability, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all intelligent races, and ensure the peaceful development of community members, the Star Community announced after a vote: From now on, the Star Community officially enters a state of war against the Human Empire until the regime abandons all genocidal actions, the support of malicious psychic entities and oppressive domestic and foreign policies, and accepts the reconciliation conditions proposed by the community.
The Star Community will take all necessary actions to eliminate the threat posed by the Human Empire to the Community.
We reiterate that anyone who voluntarily lays down his arms and surrenders will be treated humanely and his life will be guaranteed in accordance with the Community Prisoners of War Act.
However, if the imperial forces stubbornly resist, they will be regarded as public enemies of the community's peace and security and face elimination with deadly fire.
The Star Community is willing to open its doors to all individuals and groups who desire peace and seek change, and calls on people of insight within the Human Empire to abandon extremism and choose a rational and cooperative path.
This statement will be played repeatedly.
The Supreme Council of the Star Ocean Community.
299 of the Federation Standard Calendar / M41, 999 of the Human Imperial Calendar.
……
Before the declaration of war had even faded, the sky was already obscured by countless fleets.
The Burning Crusade has begun, and Robouti Guilliman's little paradise will fall.
166
Chapter 166 There is an empire beneath the empire.
Under the dark starry sky of the 500th world of Ultramar, the giant shadow of the Federation Fleet gradually approached, like a torrent of steel surging in the endless sea of stars.
Those fleets of warships, shining with a cold metallic luster, are so large that they can obscure the brilliance of the stars.
After witnessing the majestic sight of the Federation Army, the Human Empire's navy almost instantly made a judgment: they could not win.
Despite this, the Imperial Navy chose to fulfill their duty. They mobilized every warship they could and launched a suicidal charge, using their own sacrifice as a shield to buy the last time for Ultramar.
They quickly sent wartime communications to all the planets in Ultramar, requiring all planets to immediately enter a state of war readiness, mobilize all available forces, and strive to build a land-based defense system.
The Imperial Navy's generals knew that their fleet would be utterly destroyed, but if they could only delay the Confederacy's advance long enough, it would allow Ultramar's planetary defenses to be put on full alert.
The Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, once the most glorious symbol of the Second Empire and the homeland of countless brave warriors, has now been pushed to the center of the war stage again.
……
On Macragge, the Ultramarines' homeworld, an order from High Lord Calgar penetrated all tactical communication networks and spread throughout the entire Ultramar realm: the Ultramarines declared a state of emergency and were willing to accept questioning from the Inquisition at a later date.
A state of emergency means one thing: Governors everywhere, the Astra Militarum, and all Imperial institutions must obey the Ultramarines' command unconditionally, surrendering all authority if necessary.
This was a rare emergency measure, representing a complete abandonment of the Ultramarines' adherence to the Imperium of Man's abstention from Space Marines, as only the Astartes could save the situation.
As soon as the order was issued, emergency war preparations were immediately activated across five hundred regions of the world. The massive war machine began to revive, and every planet went all out, devoting all its resources to the war effort.
The battleship repair factory was working day and night to speed up the construction of battleships, the planetary defense system was urgently activated, and the Astra Militarum set up defense lines between the city walls and fortifications. Everything was proceeding in full swing.
However, not all planets responded immediately. Bureaucratic systems on some planets were slow and inefficient, while some governors simply turned a deaf ear to the Ultramarines' orders.
This includes an important mining planet.
……
This mining planet is one of the industrial pillars of Ultramar, its minerals a key resource for the manufacture of warships, weapons, and power armor. However, the Ultramarines discovered that the planet failed to deliver the minerals needed for the war effort on time.
Captain Malam was ordered to lead a small combat force to investigate. In the Governor's Palace, he asked the Governor why the mineral supply was cut off, but the answer he received made him furious: the miners on the planet had rebelled!
The miners occupied the mining area, demanding either to receive the wages that the Empire had owed them for many years, or to directly join the Federation's ruling system. Even more terrifying, the Federation's spy cyborgs have infiltrated the area and settled a bill for the miners.
The accounts clearly recorded the total amount of wages owed to his people by the empire, and even calculated the true value of their actual labor over the years. The figures were accurate and without any exaggeration.
