Exterminatus
Soldiers clad in black armor dragged Johann down the long corridor of the prison block. The prisoner screamed
-How dare you, I am a bishop of the Adeptus Ministorum, damnation awaits you all, heretics! Repent, and perhaps the Emperor will accept your souls..
The soldiers ignored the shouts; only their commander turned and said
-We will be at your "Terra" soon, enjoy the flight
Johann was dragged into a dark cell and locked inside. At first, he hammered on the door, but eventually abandoned the idea; time passed slowly, and the prisoner had no idea where he was. He vaguely remembered only a botched warp jump and the dead grip of a tractor beam that pulled the "Light of the Emperor" into some colossal hangar... after that, there was only a vast, dark void in his memory...
Many hours passed—Johann didn't know exactly how many—when the cell door slid open. The same soldiers in black armor stood there; their leader spoke, saying only one thing
-The Admiral wishes to speak with you! Do not resist!
Johann nodded; they handcuffed him and led him to a train of the internal transport system. "I am on some kind of base. But, in the name of the Emperor, whose idea was this," the ecclesiarch thought as the carriage sped along the monorail
Grand Admiral Ferdinand Cortez stood at the Main Command Post, observing the procedure of the battle station "Death Star-3" exiting hyperspace. "One way or another, we shall bring these territories under our control," he said, looking at the system opening before him.
-The locals call this the "Solar" system, Admiral. Their capital is on the third planet, Terra, I believe. Also, the locals were interested in our access codes,
said the experienced Admiral Declon, the Grand Admiral's military advisor. The Grand Admiral replied almost lazily
-Niall, inform the locals that their territories have been annexed by the Empire, and that they should prepare for the arrival of Imperial troops.
-Sir, I am registering fleet movement, sir, they have opened fire on us...
said the captain monitoring the main console in an agitated voice.
-Do not be so worried, return fire with all guns. Shields to maximum power. How are the main energy cells?
Cortez said in a calm, ordinary voice
-Fully charged
-Well then, bring that Johann to me
the Grand Admiral added
The ecclesiarch was thrown onto the command post. Majestic in his white dress uniform, the Grand Admiral tossed a comment to the prisoner, pointing at the monitor
-Is this your "holy" Terra?
Johann nodded; the reaction was instantaneous
-Good, now you will contact your people and order them to cease the attack... Immediately, or the consequences will be truly horrific
Johann coughed and almost screamed
-Never, do you hear me, never will I betray the Emperor! His power will protect me and holy Terra, and you heretics will die like stray dogs!
A powerful kick to the solar plexus interrupted the ecclesiarch's tirade.
-You have chosen your own fate....
The Grand Admiral took a comm-link in his hand and said loudly and clearly
-Activate the first circuit!
He was echoed almost immediately by the voices of officers on the bridge
-Aye, activating the first circuit!
Knowing that his orders were being transmitted simultaneously to hundreds of technicians operating the superlaser systems, the Grand Admiral continued to command
-Check the supercapacitor systems!
-Energy cells charging to 100 percent!
-Key to ready!
-Aye, key to ready!
-Check primary windings!
-Status nominal!
-Check secondary windings!
-Status nominal, ionization 100 percent!
Cortez sighed and spoke loudly, knowing that a military correspondent was filming everything on camera
-Execute directive "Base Delta Zero"! Fire!
Somewhere at the far end of the bridge, two duty officers simultaneously turned two keys to the "Fire" position. The image of Terra on the monitor changed; the blue concentric circles aimed at the planet turned red. For a moment, nothing happened, and then the entire frame of the gigantic station shuddered from the monstrous power being released during the shot. Since the command post was located above the superlaser's focusing disk, one could see what was happening. Eight beams of size converged at a single point, and then a single resulting bright green energy beam struck from that point, racing toward the surface of Terra and hitting it a moment later. At first, there was only a small flash... then the flash grew larger... soon the entire planet looked like a fireball, like a small star, yet the superlaser kept pumping and pumping energy into it. A second later, the planet lost its spherical shape, expanding, and then bursting into a cloud of plasma and white-hot debris. The beam cut off, the vibration ceased. Glowing debris and clouds of plasma drifted away from the place where Earth had just been....

Someone said that SW has movies and books. To write a book on SW doesn't require much effort. The author needed 5 min. Which is exactly what various mismatched authors have proven!!!!

В общем есть еще причины для оптимизма, как говорил умирающий от ран эльф при виде плывущего по реке трупа орка.
