Esdeath was smart enough to realize what I spoke was nothing but the truth... perhaps, she knew it even better than me because, in the end, I wasn't native to these lands, and the time that I lived here was palpable compared to the entire life that she spent here.
She was far more aware of the true capabilities of their foes, even those in the South, and after digesting the inheritance of the Frozen Coven, Esdeath was aware of the cruel reality that the Partas Tribe wouldn't have any opponents.
With the legacy of Psykery from the Frozen Coven and another wave of industrialization that was initiated by me, Jeron Egan Butler, a name that would most probably become immortalized in the annals of the history of the Fenran Rex IX. for eternity.
"Stars... that would be nice, but unfortunately for you, there are no working starships, and we are lacking the technology to manufacture one even with the STCs that we have on hand. The last spaceport is in ruins, and even those ruins are under the control of the Northern Tribes..."
Indeed a lot of what Edeath said was true, but also not...
"Northern Tribes will fall sooner or later to the Partas Tribe and their entire legacy would be yours. Not to mention, if I have enough resources, I can order the STCs to start making the starship; the real problem is just a lack of several materials and some elements to make the engine... that is all, aside from creating stabilization on the Gellar Field, nothing much is really a problem for me."
The technology that generates a protective Gellar Field, also spelled Geller Field, around a Starship intended for faster-than-light travel, was invented along with the Warp-Drive by Humanity sometime in the 18th Millennium AD during the Age of Technology.
The technology, formally called a "Gellar Field Device" allowed Warp-capable starships and their occupants to survive the extremely hazardous environment of Warpspace, and thus, one was protected from the dangers of the Immaterium to a certain degree.
The Gellar Field protects the starship and its occupants from the hostility of the psychically reactive Warp environment itself as well as from the predation of Warp entities such as Daemons and Enslavers.
The device worked by literally projecting a bubble of realspace around the starship where the physical laws of space-time continued to function; the technological means by which this was accomplished seems to have changed over time.
When we were using the device at the peak of humanity, at the summit of the Golden Age of Technology, we were able to use the Gellar Field as an offensive means against the denizens of the warp.
One of the things that I managed to obtain from the vaults of the Partas Tribe was the remnants of the Imperial Gellar Field Device from the starship of the Imperium of Man, and I had to say that they were vastly inferior to those of the Terran Federation.
It seems that humanity in this age has truly lost far more than I had anticipated during the Long Night when everything went to shit... fortunately enough, I died before I could see it with my very own eyes.
To create a perfect Gellar Field Device, I would need to synthesize some elements, and that requires some resources that the Partas Tribe doesn't have right now. For that, we would need to gather some resources before I could start working on the starship.
I already chose the model that I was going to manufacture, as I needed only a small personal starship that would take me out of the Fenran Rex IX. and because this planet was enveloped by damned a warp storm, I would really need to adjust the spaceship too much to be capable of going through the warpstorm.
It would be compared to the state-of-the-art starships in the Solar Terran Federation during the Golden Age of Technology because only such ships could go through the warstorm rather safely.
Even then, it was rather a risky thing to do...
But I didn't really have any other choice because it seemed that the Warpstorm wasn't going anywhere from the Fenran Rex IX. from my observation of the Warpstorm, this one seemed to be the permanent one.
Those ones were rather rare because there were only a few of them in the entire Galaxy, and it could be counted on one hand. Thus, the sole option was to construct a spaceship that would be capable of bypassing the Warpstorm rather safely, if nothing else.
That was a rather hard task.
Even metals that were required to do this were rare and something that Fenran Rex IX. had scarcely, and we would need to create those alloys from scratch. If only the Fenran Rex IX. wasn't enveloped by the permanent Warpstorm; I could have waited until the Warpstorm ended and then left in an ordinary starship.
But no... my luck was terrible this time.
"Then I want to go with you... If there are more powerful warriors in the stars, I want to fight them and slay them to prove my superiority so that nobody could stand in front of my saber."
I could see a twinkle in her eyes as she spoke those words with conviction and eagerness; she was deeply aware of the fact that if she remained on this planet, she wouldn't be able to fit any worthy foes, but out here...
Among the stars, there were a lot of powerful foes for her to fight against, and that was something worthwhile...
Only in there could she finally reach her full potential, something certainly worthwhile for her time. When she was finally severely disappointed by the weakness of her very own planet, as there were not any powerful opponents for her, she needed to fight them elsewhere...
In the stars, destiny awaits.
"As you wish then... You will have your journey to the stars and the fight that you carve so much. I can safely say that within the stars, there were entities and beings that could wipe out entire planets with ease, remake continents with her blow, and annihilate civilizations with their Psykery..."
Obviously, there were not a lot of them, but there were...
