The Cathars are the basic force at the disposal of the Mechanicals, and most of them are deployed in the Forge World to which they belong. But there are also a small number of cathars who run around the galaxy in order to obtain the knowledge needed by their masters, fighting archaeological wars on various planets.

The cathars, like their allegiance to their sage masters, have replaced parts of their bodies with sacred machines. They replaced flesh and blood with reinforced prosthetic limbs, and made various modifications according to their position in the cathars, such as eye modification and enhancement, additional mechanical arm enhancement, and implantation of communication connectors in the brain.

Cathars were created to kill and be killed, martyrs who could die for the faith of the God of Machines, and who saw themselves only as tools for the manifestation of mechanical wrath in the world.

Under the command of the sage, they continued to attack their enemies until they turned to blood or ashes. He never cared about his own casualties, and only cared about completing the tasks of the sages. Everything is in the service of the will of the Ohm Messiah, and it is enough for them.

At this time, the cathars who had attacked the enemy ships launched an attack on the traitors under the command of the priests.

In fact, it is only a few high-ranking naval officers who have been corrupted by Chaos, and most of their soldiers are just doing what they are told. The captain of a ship is like a king, managing all aspects of the ship's tens of thousands of people.

When the captain ordered the bombing of the Empire's foundry world, how did the shipwrights and sailors who had never left the ship know what was right and wrong, and that was not something that a man of their stature should think. All they knew in their minds was that they had to carry out the orders from the captain, or they would be killed by the armed sailors on board.

And the armed sailors who obeyed the captain's orders did not know much more than the low-level shipwrights. They were also deceived by the Navy's top brass into having no idea what kind of rebellious behavior the starship they had sworn to protect had committed at the captain's behest.

Some loyal naval non-commissioned officers who had the ability to know that the captain had betrayed the empire had not had time to make a move, they were slandered as traitors by the top brass of the ships who had actually defected, and were shot on the spot or hunted down in various ways, and could only hide in the lower decks of the ships.

Often, after committing multiple unforgivable acts, the members of these ships may realize what they are doing. But often when they find this, it is irreparable, and the empire has long regarded them as traitors and cannot be forgiven. At this time, they have long had no choice but to go one way to the dark.

The Inquisition and Astarte warriors who came to surround them didn't care if they couldn't help themselves or if they were suffering, the Emperor's loyal warriors only cared if they brought eternal death to the traitors of the Empire.

At this time, the armed sailors who were attacked by the Mechanic Protector already had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but in the chaotic battlefield, they didn't have time to think about more things.

The ferocious fire of the cathars in front of them made it difficult for the armed sailors to hold on, and it was difficult for them to fight back. However, this stalemate could not last long, as the cathars and the weapons they used often carried a large amount of radiation that could have a lethal effect on their surroundings, and the sailors were deteriorating even if they were not directly attacked.

This is why the soldiers of the Empire never want to be stationed with the mechanic cathars. It is also because of this terrible way of fighting that the Vanguard is often sent to the harshest and most murderous places in the galactic battlefield, partly because they don't have to worry too much about fighting in these places, and partly because their stronger protective equipment can survive longer in these environments and hostile firepower than the Astral Army.

While the cathars and traitors are engaged in a battle inside the cruiser, the troogue fleet is in space attacking another renegade cruiser.

The Tracker collided with a renegade cruiser, and no one was sure that their attack wouldn't hurt their teammates, so both sides stopped firing at them until the gang jump was decided.

Another traitor cruiser made a fierce attack on the many small ships surrounding him, and although the fire was fierce, the size of these small ships made it easier for them to dodge, and most of the ships were still trying to harass and contain the enemy forces, except for a few transports that were destroyed and incapacitated.

The main ship of the Ronin Traders, the Conquest-class galleon, is also firing at the Renegade Cruiser. Since the conquest class is named in the name of conquest, there must be many places to pass the ship. This starship is even larger than a cruiser, with dozens of grand cannons on both sides of the hull, and it has plenty of firepower and great power. It can guarantee that the Ronin Trader will repel those enemies with bad intentions in the interstellar world. She was affectionately known to her owner as Wangcai.

Our ferocious Wangcai unleashed a wave of fire on the enemy, and then succeeded in attracting all the enemy's attention to itself.

The enemy cruisers no longer cared about the small ships around them, and left them to attack, preparing to take out the Wangcai, the most threatening of them on the battlefield.

When those small ships were unable to pull the traitor's Moon-class cruisers, the shortcomings of the Conqueror-class were exposed. The huge body is more vulnerable to attack, it is not flexible enough to dodge, and the armor is not as good as the opponent's Moon-class cruisers...

However, the Wangcai is only an armed cargo ship, not a warship, and its large size means that the interior space is sufficient, capable of carrying a lot of cargo, and dozens of grand cannons are enough to deal with those unscrupulous people in the interstellar world, which is already a dream ship in the eyes of the Ronin Merchants. Let's not criticize the Wangcai too much, after all, he is just a layman's ship.

While some of the Conquest classes served in the Imperial Navy, they tended to be in the midst of old, second-tier fleets. The Conquest-Class is believed to have been in service since the Imperial Age or earlier in the Old Human Federation, and many captains within the Imperial Navy felt that these Conquest-class ships could be used in the hands of the Rogue Traders.

The generals and officers of the Imperial Navy often considered the Conquest-class cruisers to be inferior in armor and relatively "meagre" firepower. Rather than these old, long-serving, bloated babies of the ancient era, the Imperial Navy preferred the small and energetic Tsuki-chan.

Although the Wangcai, which is now being chased and beaten by the traitor's Moon-class cruisers, seems to prove the opinion of the Imperial Navy, how can these ignorant ordinary people know that the charm of the Conquest class does not lie in how powerful her combat power is.

These veterans who still survive to this day have witnessed the most glorious moments of the empire and can be regarded as precious relics from the period when the empire was founded. She is a witness of history, the crystallization of human technology and culture, the physical relics of human creative activities, and a precious symbol of the indomitable spirit of mankind.
