Chapter 91: Arrival at the Throne World (1)

"So what is the result of the scans?"

Arcturus asked around two hours later when the Obscurus finished scanning around the entire unknown Star System somewhere at the fringes of the Chronus Expanse Star Region as there was a lot of debris from the starships of the White Shark Corsairs.

Unfortunately for Highborne Asuryani, it seemed that not many things had survived the onslaught of the Obscurus, as most of the valuable things were destroyed during the exchange.

<Unfortuenly not good. Most of the objects were destroyed during the exchanges between the starships, and what wasn't destroyed back then when I turned the starships of the White Shark Corsairs against each other was destroyed when Obscurus unleashed its power onto the starships.>

Red Queen's holoprojection appeared next to him, as he was reading a book on his leather sofa in the master bedroom of the Obscurus. Arcturus finished the workload of today and after the good fight against the Space Pirates, he decided to get some rest.

"Whatever... everything that we can take from the starships from the space pirates is good. It's not like those guys are rich either way... did you manage at least to find Credit Data Banks?"

Credit Data Banks were special devices that were manufactured by the top corporations of the known Cosmos and their sole purpose was to preserve any kind of currency that was stored within the Credit Data Banks.

Because of their purpose, which was to serve as storage space for any kind of currency, they were made from extremely durable materials, so much so that even some of the Type 3 Weaponry.

<Not really that much. All of them are in different currencies used by the Mid-Level Civilizations; they are barely worth a few thousand Universal Credits. The materials obtained from the starships are worth even less; I would suggest jumping into the Hyperspace as we are wasting time in this place. We are just around three weeks away from the Throne World of the Eternal Empire.>

As the Red Queen stated that, he gave her the green light to the request because there was nothing much to do aside from searching the debris, but that was essentially worthless.

"Also, did you submit the proof to the Bounty Hunter Guild about the destruction of the White Shark Corsairs?"

Arcturus asked when the Red Queen started controlling the starship Obscurus to jump into the Hyperspace. Due to the invasion of the systems of the Space Pirate, Red Queen quickly managed to pinpoint where exactly they were on the star maps, and they were rather close to the borders between the Phoenix Star Region and Chronus Expanse Star Region.

<Yes. The Bounty has been submitted, and the Bounty Hunter Guild paid the reward to your account in the Cosmic Vaultbank, which is more than 30,000 Universal Credits. It seems that there was a bonus for the complete destruction of the crew of the White Shark Corsairs, seeing that nobody has survived the onslaught.>

Arcturus then opened the display through the Extranet, which showed this "Status" in the Star Mercenary Association and Bounty Hunter Guild.

Objects of Activity

Through the Hyperspace, one could enter the Imperial Core only through the Hyperspace Gateways that were extremely guarded by technologies and weapons that could kill even Beyonders with their firepower.

The Empire wasted no resources in eliminating the Hyperspace weakness in their Imperial Core as the Imperial Core was literarily one of the safest, if not the safest, territories within the entire Andromeda Galaxy and its surrounding galaxies.

Because he was already in the Imperial Core of the Eternal Empire of the Asurya, he was rather close to the Throne World of the Empire, and according to modest estimations, he would be arriving around five days at the Throne World.

As he was in the Imperial Core, the journey was much faster because there were only a few Hyperspace Lanes within the Imperial Core, and all of them were heavily monitored. And within the Imperial Core the Highborne Asuryani could use the main Hyperspace Lanes for free, so he directly jumped on the Primary Hyperspace Lane.

It was one of the perks and privileges that was given to all Highborne Asuryani within the Eternal Empire of the Asurya and some Forge Masters of the Votanns, among many other benefits and things they obtained upon their birth.

Arcturus thus didn't need to waste any more time, and using the Primary Hyperspace Lane was the fastest option of transportation, as he was en route to the Throne World.

Asurya Star System, Imperial Star Domain, Phoenix Star Sector, Starflame Star Segment, Phoenix Star Region, North-Western Galactic Quadrant

The core of the Empire was the Asurya Star System, located in the very heart of the interstellar Empire that dominated the entire North-Western Galactic Quadrant of the Andromeda Galaxy, and it was only a matter of time until the entire North-Western Galactic Quadrant fell to the control of the Eternal Empire of the Asurya.

The Asurya Star Region, named like everything within the Empire, after the entity worshipped by the Asuryani people, The Asura, a being of myth and slaughter that led the ancestors of the Empire to the glorious future.

Even the Grandmaster Arsit Byrmellir couldn't confirm the existence of the Asura, yet, he could also not deny it. At the same time, it was highly possible that a being like that existed, though he himself was rather skeptical, but everything was possible in this vast Cosmos.

<Notice to the unidentified vessel of Class-Adjudicator, Type: M of Model: M, halt in your advance and proceed to the registration center. Presne the documentation and Idenfifcations of the Imperial Citizenship.>

Just as the Obscurus entered the Asurya Star System, a voice from nearby Starfort was heard on the deck of the Obscurus. Arcturus did exactly what the Imperial Officials wanted from him because the last thing he wanted was to be subjugated.

After presenting the documentation, the Imperial Officials quickly processed the request to enter the Asurya Star System, noticing that his spaceship was surrounded by around twenty or thirty humongous starships that were far bigger than the Obscurus, and all of them aimed their weaponry at his ship.

When everything was finished, the Imperial Officials told him that he could proceed to dock at the Imperial Starfort, where his spaceship would be scanned for dangerous material, contrabands, forbidden items, or anything that may endanger the Throne World.

The Throne Star System was home to the two most important planets to the Empire, the Planet Asurya and Planet Dwarrowdelf, nothing could be allowed to happen on those wrodls due to their crucial importance for the Eternal Empire of the Asurya and its proper funcitioning.

So the security protocols were extremely strict in this place for sure, and everyone who entered the Star System and wanted to land on either of the two planets needed to undergo several checks and complete scans before they would be allowed to land.

This applied to everyone, regardless of their status, as Arcturus noticed that there were even a few starships belonging to the Aristocratic Bloodline Lineage Houses waiting in the queen to be processed and allowed to land down either on the Asurya or Dwarrowdelf.

Fortunately enough, the line was being taken care of very quickly because the people doing the job were professionals, and soon enough, the entire Obscurus was swarmed by a huge swarm of drones that were scanning every nook and cranny of the ship from the outside.

This process didn't take even five minutes until the entire starship was scanned, and results from the control were sent to the administration office. Afterward, the the administration office of the Imperial Navy gave him the green light, which allowed Arcturus to proceed to the docking area of the Starfort.

Because this was the first time he was entering the Asurya Star Region, he needed to undergo a more extensive and thorough examination and control than the people who were flying here on a regular basis, who would need to go through only the "simplified" one.

If it could be even called simplified simplified for the Empire was struck as possible for the other star nations. The Starfort where he was docking was of the same style and appearance as the Starfort Lycurgos within the Rylon Star System of the Alaric Star Domain that defended the Star Domain from the attacks of Greenskins and Mind Flayers.

While the Imperial Navy didn't have many of them, they were still not wasting any effort when it came to the defense of their home, that one must be defended with everything they got.
