Hariko Lee's Imperial shuttle descended through the pale skies of Mars, the red pnet’s familiar surface stretching out below him. The towering spires of the Imperial Empire's industrial centers gleamed in the distance, their structures busy with activity as the machinery of conquest churned beneath the Martian soil. It had been months since the 107 worlds had pledged allegiance to the Empire, and now, Hariko's attention turned to the critical technological advancements that would ensure the Empire’s continued dominance.

  He had received an urgent request from Scientist Anna, the brilliant mind behind many of the Empire’s greatest innovations. She had been studying the ancient pilrs found on Cornea, the mysterious structures that had supplied Hariko’s forces with the tools necessary for their relentless expansion. Her findings promised to revolutionize the Imperial fleet, and today, Hariko would see the results firsthand.

  As the shuttle nded in the heart of Mars’ rgest research facility, Hariko stepped onto the nding ptform, greeted by the crisp Martian air and the sight of Scientist Anna waiting for him. Her white b coat billowed slightly in the thin atmosphere, her eyes alight with excitement.

  "Hariko," Anna greeted with a slight bow. "I've made a breakthrough. The pilrs on Cornea—there's more to them than we first realized. Their material, it’s capable of far more than just providing energy. It can be replicated, and with your approval, we can enhance our entire fleet."

  Hariko's eyes narrowed with interest. "Replicated? What are you proposing, Anna?"

  Anna led him into the research facility, her voice filled with anticipation. "I've been studying the Golden Domain Shrine you authorized for use. It turns out that the shrine’s capabilities go beyond simple matter replication. It allows us to create exact copies of the Cornea pilrs, and these copies retain the same properties as the originals. If we incorporate the matter from the pilrs into our ships, we can create yers of shielding unlike anything seen before."

  They arrived in the main research b, where the centerpiece was an S1 ship, its sleek frame gleaming under the overhead lights. But this S1 was different. Its surface shimmered with an ethereal sheen, and around it, a faint energy field could be seen—yers of protection that pulsed with power.

  Anna pointed to the ship. "This is the prototype. I’ve installed the pilr matter into the ship's sub-engine compartment. Watch."

  With a nod to a nearby technician, Anna activated the ship’s shields. Instantly, three yers of protective energy fields appeared around the S1, each distinct and formidable.

  "The first yer," Anna began, "is the Warp Shield. It redirects incoming attacks into warp space, effectively rendering most forms of physical and energy-based damage useless. Any psma, missiles, or projectiles that hit the shield are simply...gone."

  Hariko watched as the shield shimmered, distorting space around it.

  "The second yer," Anna continued, "is the Bckstone Shield. This is where the material from the Cornea pilrs truly shines. The bckstone forms a bubble around the ship, absorbing all forms of psma and Lerium ammo—whether from standard ships or high-powered battleships. It's nearly impervious to conventional firepower. Psma, energy weapons, even Lerium-based ammunition—none of it can penetrate."

  Hariko nodded, impressed. The ability to absorb enemy firepower would provide an immense advantage in fleet engagements.

  "And the third," Anna said with a smile, "is the Nullity Shield. This yer is perhaps the most resilient. It takes a full eight days of constant assault to bring down the Nullity Shield alone. And after that, attackers would still need to contend with the Bckstone and Warp shields."

  Hariko raised an eyebrow. "Eight days?"

  Anna nodded eagerly. "Yes, and that's just for the first yer. The Bckstone takes 16 days to break through, and the Warp Shield would take 24 days of sustained firepower. No known weapon can crack it quickly, not even the most advanced nullity technology. And this is just the S1 css."

  Hariko’s mind raced. The implications of such defensive capabilities were staggering. His ships could withstand siege warfare for weeks on end, and his fleets would be nearly untouchable.

  "How long to develop these shields for the rest of the fleet?" Hariko asked.

  "We've already started," Anna said, motioning to a holographic dispy showing multiple ship csses. "The S2 ships will take one day less to destroy each yer, and the S3 ships another day less than that. We're also outfitting all space marine chapters with the Bckstone shields—each marine will have armor woven with Bckstone particles. It’ll make them nearly indestructible against psma-based weaponry."

  Hariko let out a low whistle. "So, our fleet will be impenetrable, and our ground forces will be able to shrug off most attacks. You’ve outdone yourself, Anna."

  "Thank you, Hariko," Anna said, her face glowing with pride. "But this is just the beginning. If we continue to study the pilrs, there’s no telling what other advancements we might uncover."

  Hariko pced a hand on her shoulder. "You have my full support. Use the Golden Domain Shrine as much as you need. Replicate as many pilrs as it takes. The Empire’s enemies won't know what hit them."

  Anna beamed. "I’ll begin outfitting the entire fleet immediately."

  As Hariko left the research facility, his thoughts turned to the future. With the advancements Anna had made, the Imperial Empire was poised to become the most powerful force in the gaxy. The 107 worlds had joined willingly, but soon, even the most defiant empires would have no choice but to submit. His ships, cloaked in Bckstone and protected by the power of warp and nullity, would be invincible. His armies, outfitted with armor woven from the same indestructible materials, would be unstoppable.

  The Imperial Empire’s reign was just beginning, and with the power of the Cornea pilrs at their disposal, nothing would stand in their way.

  Mars had always been the heart of his empire’s industry, but now, it had become the crucible of his fleet’s indomitable strength. Hariko knew that the gaxy would soon tremble under the might of the Imperial Empire. He would make sure of it.

  Hariko Lee headed towards his fgship and asked his system to calcute based off the battle.

  Hariko Lee sat in the command center of his Imperial fgship, gazing at the vastness of space dispyed on the holoscreen. The war against the Dragonoid Empire had finally come to an end, with Emperor Draken Darkwood captured and his empire in ruins. The campaign had been grueling, but the spoils of war awaited.

  Now, it was time to assess the true reward of his efforts—the points accumuted through the destruction of the Dragonoid fleet. Each destroyed ship would contribute to his pool of points, and with those points, he could summon new ships and ground forces, outfitted with the test technological advancements from the empire’s scientists.

  The Conscious System activated, its mechanical voice filling Hariko's mind as it began its report:

  "Calcuting points from destroyed Dragonoid Empire fleet... Current points: 5,634,662."

  A holographic projection materialized, dispying the shattered remains of the Dragonoid ships drifting through space. Hariko leaned forward, knowing each wreck represented resources to be recimed and future conquests to be secured.

  "Ship csses destroyed: S1, S2, and S3-css vessels. Points per S1 ship: 40. Calcuting multipliers for S2 and S3 csses..."

  Hariko’s fingers tapped the armrest of his command chair as the system processed the vast data. The Dragonoid fleet had been formidable, but the Imperial forces had outmaneuvered and overpowered them in the final stages of the war.

  The system’s voice continued:"Total S1-css ships destroyed: 8,352. Total points from S1 ships: 334,080."

  A solid beginning, but the real prize y in the rger capital ships. Hariko allowed a small smile to cross his lips.

  "Total S2-css ships destroyed: 3,119. Applying multiplier: x2. Points from S2 ships: 249,520."

  Hariko’s eyes gleamed. The destruction of the S2-css ships had been a crucial turning point in the war, and their contribution to his growing power would be significant.

  "Total S3-css ships destroyed: 712. Applying multiplier: x3. Points from S3 ships: 85,440."

  The Conscious System paused for a moment, calcuting the final sum.

  "Total points earned from Dragonoid fleet: 669,040."

  Hariko felt a surge of satisfaction as the total points fshed before him. The Dragonoid Empire had been a fierce opponent, but their defeat had brought immense rewards.

  "Updated points total: 6,303,702."

  Over six million points—a staggering amount. Enough to not only rebuild the Imperial fleet but also to summon new forces, equipped with the test enhancements developed by Scientist Anna and her team.

  The Conscious System chimed again:"Newly summoned ships and ground forces will be equipped with the test advancements, including the shields based on the matter found in the Cornea pilrs. All summoned S1, S2, and S3-css ships will feature multi-yer shielding technology. Warp shields, Bckstone shields, and Nullity shields will be standard on all vessels."

  Hariko’s attention sharpened. The new shielding technology had been one of the most significant breakthroughs of the war. The Cornea pilrs had yielded incredible power, and now that power would be infused into every ship and soldier under his command.

  The system detailed the upgrades:

  Warp Shields: Capable of sending incoming attacks into warp space, neutralizing even the most powerful weapons.Bckstone Shields: A protective yer that absorbs full-powered psma Lerium ammo and other energy-based attacks.Nullity Shields: The most formidable defense, capable of withstanding days of continuous assault. It would take 8 days to break the Nullity shield, 16 days for the Bckstone, and 24 days for the warp shield.Even the ground units would benefit from these advancements. The Conscious System began its projection:

  "Summoning options avaible. Summoning ships and ground units now."

  Hariko activated the summoning, and within moments, fshes of light began to appear across the holoscreen as newly summoned ships emerged from warp space, joining the Imperial fleet. Each one gleamed with the new shields, their engines powered by the Cornea pilrs’ mysterious energy.

  S1-css ships appeared first, their shields shimmering with the newly integrated yers of defense. These ships would now take a full 24 days of continuous bombardment to break through their warp shields.S2-css ships followed, their shields even more resilient, taking 23 days to destroy.S3-css ships, the crown jewels of the Imperial fleet, materialized st, their defensive yers nearly impenetrable, taking 22 days to fall under the most intense fire.But it wasn't just the ships. Ground forces began to materialize as well. Thousands of Imperial Space Marines and Sisters of Faith, newly equipped with armor enhanced by the Bckstone material found within the Cornea pilrs, stood ready for deployment. Their armor would absorb energy-based attacks, making them nearly invincible on the battlefield.

  "All ground units are equipped with the new armor technology. Resupplying forces with the test Lerium ammo and M1 Garands based on Mars technology. Full resupply every week through the Golden Domain Shrine on Mars," the Conscious System announced.

  Hariko’s empire was now stronger than ever before. The technology from the Cornea pilrs, combined with his immense pool of points, ensured that his forces would be nearly unstoppable.

  The system offered one st suggestion:"Recommendation: Use points to continue summoning fleets and ground forces to secure newly conquered territories. Current enemy resistance remains scattered but substantial."

  Hariko nodded, his mind already focused on his next moves. The remaining loyalists of the Dragonoid Empire still held out on some of the more distant pnets, but they would soon fall under the weight of his ever-growing empire.

  With over 6 million points to spend, he could summon wave after wave of new forces, outfitted with the best technology in the gaxy. The Imperial Empire now spanned 111 sor systems, and with each passing day, it would only grow rger.

  As the new ships and soldiers integrated into his forces, Hariko turned his attention back to the stars. His empire was poised to conquer, and with the power of the Cornea pilrs behind him, there was nothing that could stop them.

  The gaxy was his for the taking.

  The command center aboard Hariko Lee's fgship pulsed with energy as the Conscious System initiated its test calcutions. The vast expanse of the gaxy loomed outside, a canvas of stars and potential. With the recent victories over the Dragonoid Empire, it was time to solidify his power and ensure the Imperial Empire's dominance across the 111 sor systems.

  Suddenly, the Conscious System’s voice filled the chamber, resonating with authority and crity.

  “Initiating troop and fleet package deployment: 57,600,000 Pnetary Stormtroopers activated. These soldiers are designed to operate under a hive mind protocol, responding seamlessly to commands from the Supreme Commander, Hariko Lee.”

  Hariko's pulse quickened as the implications sank in. With such a vast army, the Imperial Empire would become an unstoppable force. The Stormtroopers were equipped with advanced weaponry, each soldier armed with Lerium MP31 rifles and MG42 machine guns. They were also supported by formidable Fk89 anti-aircraft guns, ensuring complete battlefield superiority.

  “Deployment details: 7000 Fk89 anti-aircraft units, 6000 Panther tanks armed with Lerium tank ammunition. All units will operate under a unified command structure, enhancing battlefield coordination and responsiveness.”

  The holographic dispy in the command center flickered to life, showing the massive troop formations materializing across the gaxy. Each Stormtrooper emerged in perfect synchronization, forming ranks that stretched as far as the eye could see.

  “In addition, 120,000 ships of csses S1 to S4 will be deployed. These vessels are equipped with the test advancements in technology, ensuring maximum effectiveness in combat and logistical operations.”

  Hariko observed the projections of the ships materializing alongside the newly summoned Stormtroopers. The S1, S2, S3, and S4 vessels gleamed with the energy of the Cornea pilrs, their shields crackling with protective energy.

  “Further deployment includes 5000 S3 garden ships. These vessels will produce and distribute 140,000,000 tons of food annually to sustain the growing popution of the Imperial Empire. Each S2 garden ship, located exclusively in the Earth sor system, contributes an additional 70,000,000 tons of food yearly.”

  Hariko's strategic mind raced as he absorbed this information. The combination of a vast army, advanced fleets, and a reliable food supply would secure the Imperial Empire’s future. No longer would he worry about logistics or resource shortages.

  The Conscious System continued, “Troops will maintain communication through hive mind technology, enabling instantaneous decision-making and execution of strategies. This will allow for coordinated strikes across multiple fronts.”

  With a wave of his hand, Hariko summoned a visual dispy of the fleet’s deployment locations. The newly formed pnetary defense networks would create a nearly impenetrable shield around the Empire’s territories.

  “All units are now fully operational and ready for deployment, Supreme Commander.”

  Hariko straightened in his chair, the weight of leadership resting heavily on his shoulders. The stakes had never been higher. With the Dragonoid loyalists still active in some territories, it was imperative to take immediate action.

  “Prepare the Stormtroopers for deployment. We will strike hard and fast against any remaining resistance. Establish a perimeter around the loyalist-held pnets and begin securing supply routes.”

  “Orders confirmed. The hive mind will ensure efficiency and synchronization during operations.”

  As he issued commands, Hariko felt a surge of confidence. The Imperial Empire was poised to expand its influence, and the newly activated hive-minded Stormtroopers would be the spearhead of that expansion.

  The command center pulsed with energy as the fleets and troops mobilized. Hariko Lee watched with determination as the gaxy opened up before him, ready to be reshaped by the might of the Imperial Empire.

  With each passing moment, the weight of his ambition grew, and he knew the stars themselves would soon bow to his will. The era of the Imperial Empire had just begun, and with the hive mind of the Pnetary Stormtroopers at his command, there would be no turning back.
