Since readers certainly don't know what the Catherine Star incident really is, I went out of my way to look at the background information. Here it should be a translation error, to add to everyone.

When Seylin lost contact with Planet One, everyone thought it was nothing more than a router node failure in the communications network, but soon things turned out to be more than one expected. O-type stars in galaxies are in the prime of life, but they show signs that are unique to pre-supernova explosions. It was a small eruption that destroyed routers buried deep underground and turned the daytime face of the entire planet into a sea of fire.

Seylin I is a mining planet that is not inhabitable in itself, but its vast mineral resources attract more than 500 million people, almost all of whom are located in four giant underground cities, connected by maglev railways, and spaceports between them.

When the first wave came, even if they were buried thousands of meters underground, the two cities that happened to be in the daylight were instantly destroyed by the intense radiation energy. Although the Federation desperately blocked the news, there were still media reporters who dared to die to send the news out before the water meter was checked.

With a larger, second, larger outbreak on the horizon, the Federation quickly organized a rescue while closely monitoring the star's activity. Other forces and nations have sent rescue teams, including Emma, Gadari, United Mining, and even the Sky Snake (Mimatar said that we would not send anyone to rescue a missing Tukel caravan if we were still searching for it.233).

But the rescue operation soon ran into difficulties. First of all, because the cities of this planet are all buried deep underground, there are only a few railways connecting the city and the spaceport, and the transportation capacity is really limited, and because the spaceport is built with supporting underground facilities, it is not like the general surface habitable planet that can accommodate a large number of spaceships to take off and land at the same time. Then, due to the panic of the disaster, there was a lot of unnecessary internal friction, such as the train failure and suspension due to the scramble for the train; Another example is the overloading and crash of the transport ship due to the scramble to board the rescue ship.

(And a large number of people in Gerente who do not know the truth insist that all this is an attack by the Gadaries, and no matter how much the government refutes the rumors, another wave of anti-Gardari has been set off in Gironde, and at the same time, the two countries on the border have also begun to gather heavy troops and saber rattling)

The two cities that were once in the daylight were now flooded with radiation and molten metal, and rescue teams could not enter, even though they knew that there were still a large number of survivors there, but the federal president had to order the rescue of the two cities to be abandoned; Even in lightly affected areas, heavily armed rescuers return to the mothership after two hours on the surface to treat radiation burns all over their bodies.

All of the residents who were successfully rescued suffered severe radiation burns, and the drugs used to treat radiation sickness in the vicinity were depleted, and the federal government had to requisition drugs from all over the country. The second outbreak is getting closer, but so far only more than 800,000 people have been rescued, and because of the harsh environment, saving more people can only be a luxury.

As the deadline approaches, the transports that remain on the surface leave the desperate inhabitants of the airport behind and take off from the galaxy that is about to turn into hell. The Federation sealed off the stargate to Seirin, and the two space stations in the system also turned on the shield power to the maximum. Eventually, Planet Thailing 1 was torn apart by the shock wave of a stellar explosion, and less than 1 million of the planet's 500 million inhabitants were rescued.

After this series of events ended, wormholes began to appear in large numbers throughout New Eden.

Tashmungon Field: Sacanlan Constellation, Nasser Sharapha System

"The people inside are listening to the old men! Everyone holds Lao Tzu's head in both hands! Obediently use your terminals to settle accounts on this! If anyone dares to disobey! That hapless guy in space is your role model! A man with a beard on his upper body and a circle of beard on his face looked at the passengers in the warehouse and smiled evilly.

In the direction of his finger, the body of a man with a pained, distorted face was floating naked through the porthole of the passenger ship.

"Did you see that unlucky guy? If you still want to resist, I don't mind torturing you one by one and throwing you outside. I guess I could open a market and see who can hold out longer? A scarf-clad bearded Amada in a robe, looking at a group of shivering passengers in the cabin.

"What do you say to these mud-legged civilians? Mubarak, these are the ones who can't get any oil and water, and the ones who can get are the big people who sit in first class. Did you guys hear that? Hurry up and transfer all the money to this account, don't force the old men to make a kill! Otherwise... The bearded man from earlier called out to his companion, and then threatened the people in the cabin viciously.

"That's it! If you know each other, hurry up and transfer all the money to me, otherwise the guys outside will be your role model! 20,000 per person! Not even one child is missing! If there is less, you all go outside and be with him! Mubarak, the turban-wrapped Amada man, was similarly threatening.

The civilians in the civilian cabin were threatened by the pirates, and one by one they reluctantly started to transfer money from their accounts.

After everyone had divided the money under the watchful eye of the pirates, several pirates happily began to walk to the first class. For them, these guys who can only fly in civilian cabins are just mosquito legs, but no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are meat, aren't they? The bigger fuel and water are still those who fly in VIP cabins, and the people in there are either rich or expensive. Even if there is no way to squeeze oil and water out of them, you can kidnap them and let their families use money to ransom them. As for whether it counts after that? It's up to the pirates. However, under normal circumstances, pirates will release people, and they also know the truth of fishing with all their might.

In fact, in the current sea of stars, the ancient profession of interstellar pirates can be said to have been carried forward by those current pirates.

The current interstellar pirates are very complex. There are retired naval soldiers from various countries, fugitives who have committed crimes in their respective forces, orphans and their descendants who have been raised by pirates since childhood, and even degenerate nobles and aristocratic children who have read the pirates on the Internet and are idle. But pirates are more often clones, clones who have used biochemical means to replicate their own bodies.

Even these clones have formed a professional pirate army. In order to make their pirate career last longer and the legion stronger, some of them deliberately disguised themselves and infiltrated the navies of major empires and even the fleets of the Ministry of Unification to study.

Of course, this is a digression, these people at the moment are just ordinary pirates, and the pirate ship they use is also a ship whose weapons have been eliminated n versions of the castrated version of the Apocalypse.

But such an Apocalypse-class is not something that a passenger ship escorted by a frigate can withstand.

This Star Rapid Transit (Interstellar Express Passenger Transport Complex, hereinafter referred to as Star Express. After the Apocalypse-class pirate warship destroyed the escorting frigate, it decisively chose to surrender.

After all, there were still a lot of civilians and a small number of nobles on board, if their resistance caused these casualties... Therefore, in general, when encountering this kind of pirate blocking the road, as long as the other party does not want the lives of the people on board, then the passenger spacecraft of the Star Express will often choose to surrender.

Inside the VIP cabin, the pirates are extorting money from these nobles one by one. Just when they were thinking about how much oil and water they could get this time, they didn't know that they were already in a catastrophe.

"Report to the Master of the Family, at the Keshro Gate in the Nasser Sharafa system, our destination, a Star Rapid Transit passenger ship has been discovered being robbed by pirates." Hochkin reported to Karl.

"What about the local garrison?" Karl asked without looking up.

"Uh, this... I don't know what to do. Hoshkin said helplessly.

He really didn't know how the captain of the guard unit under his family master would know what the garrison fleet here was doing.

Karl also knew that he was stupid to ask, and he said to Hoshkin: "Send a squadron of Xiaoxi (Hillbolas-class) to deal with those pirates, and then let the front interceptor team and the scanner scatter combat needles to scan and see if there are any pirates in the area." ”

"Yes, my lord." Hoshkin took the order and left.
