Warhammer: In the Name of the Emperor

Chapter 256 Extra Chapter: Explanation of the Glory Queen Class and some issues

I posted this earlier today because I saw a lot of readers talking about the issue of the number of glory queens. I think I need to write a separate article to explain it and reiterate my consistent position. The conclusion is at the end. Please allow me to explain the glory first. Queen's question.

First of all, there is the issue of quantity. I don’t need readers to tell me. I know that there are more than twenty "known" ships of the Glory Queen class, but we have to analyze it carefully and see what happened to these extra ships. When did they appear and how did they exist?

For example, take the Tyrant of Horus. There is only one sentence to explain this Glorious Queen class. This sentence is written in the background. It is the sister ship of the Vengeful Spirit and was used in the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. It existed as the flagship of Horus and then disappeared. Other than that, it has not appeared in any mainstream, important plot.

In the first three books of the "Horus Heresy" series, "The Rise of Horus", "The False God" and "The Burning Galaxy", there are three books that completely feature the Luna Wolves Legion as the protagonists. All aspects of the Expedition Fleet No. 16 were mentioned, but, but here comes the only thing that didn’t mention anything about the Tyrant, and it didn’t even exist.

The same is true for the additional battleships of other legions, such as the Dark Angels. These additional battleships only existed in a certain background setting, but there was no plot, interaction, or even a detailed description. They were just dry. The word is gone.

Another example is the Ambion, which is the Queen of Glory class ship owned by the Imperial Navy. This is even more outrageous, because the Imperial Navy was under the command of various legions during the Great Crusade, and its name was called the Auxiliary Corps. Its direct superiors were various Legion, that's why Horus was able to raise so many troops during the rebellion, so why was the auxiliary army assigned a battleship like the Queen of Glory, which had huge consumables and was extremely expensive? Instead of strengthening it to a certain legion?

And this also raises another question, why everyone is the original body, there are Space Marine legions, Ultramarines, White Scars and Emperor's Children and other legions have only one ship, only Horus and Lion and others have more people How many ships? Is the Emperor so partial, or do you have a PY deal with Mars? There is no explanation, and it is also very unreasonable. Please remember that among the twenty legions, even if two are missing, there will still be eighteen legions that are inherently incompatible. Most of them have very bad relations and are hostile to each other and look down on each other.

Even Guilliman, Llane, and superficial brothers like Horus, privately regarded each other as idiots and wished they could kill each other for becoming Warmaster. The Emperor could cause trouble even if the Emperor just gave Horus the title of Warmaster. There are so many things to do, but they still need to equip them with a few extra Glory Queens? Is this reasonable? Does this have any meaning other than to piss off the other Primarchs and make them dissatisfied?

Let’s go back to the ship of the Imperial Navy. This ship is even more outrageous. Not only does it not appear in any important plot, but even the description starts with a sentence that the Imperial Navy has an independent Glory Queen class, and then immediately follows this ship in the next sentence. Destruction and Attack In the attack on the Rebellion Forge World, what is the meaning of its existence? It is as if an author temporarily wanted to brag and built a ship, but then found that it seemed too outrageous and immediately blew it up.

So yes, I did not buy into the theory that these ships existed, but went with the conservative one ship per primarch because that was the most logical (I must admit, I did forget that the Alpha Legion were twins) Primarch, there is an extra ship, probably because Omega was hacked to death, and only Alpha is left, my Hydra, woo woo woo woo)

So this is my reason. I don’t know if everyone agrees with it, but I still want to emphasize it again. I hope that everyone can use logic to look at all settings, rather than unconditionally accept it just because there is a sentence like this somewhere. , but should think logically first.

For example, when it comes to questions like the Queen of Glory, you should first think about why there are so many extra people, why only these few people have extra people, and not others. Will it cause any problems this time? Is it logical? Even if it is unreasonable and difficult to explain, can it be rewritten into a reasonable style? For example, I rewrote Loken. If I found that it couldn't be rewritten, why should I forcefully write this setting?

What I always emphasize is that just look at many settings of Warhammer. The creative model of GW and Black Library means universal book-eating, self-denial and self-contradiction. The final setting and writing method are up to each individual. determined by the author.

Finally, I would like to explain some of my other behaviors and ways of thinking. For example, some readers previously said that I whitewashed Luo Jia, saying that Luo Jia only admired strength and had no faith at all.

This is a typical example of alienating people, attaching a simple label in an impression and then explaining it crudely. This behavior is like Westerners relying on their impressions and then saying that all Chinese people have braids, an ancient stereotype. This behavior is neither It's reasonable, but also extremely ridiculous, and the same is true in the book.

I don’t believe that a person is born good or evil. Lorgar is certainly not born evil, and neither are the rebel primarchs. I believe that everyone’s behavior and personality creation have reasonable explanations, rather than preconceived notions. Label people.

Take Erebus for example. I don’t think Erebus is born a cunning, evil and greedy person. I prefer to believe that it was the environment in which Erebus grew up, his parents, relatives and experiences that shaped him. His character, for example, his parents often talk about the child next door, but if you can't, how much impact will the classic talk about other people's children have on a person? Especially someone like Erebus who craves recognition.

In order to gain the approval of his parents and the respect of his friends, he will use all kinds of methods to win and take advantage of others. This is not because he is born evil, but because his growth environment has shaped his values ​​and worldview.

Guilliman and Dorn were able to grow into kind and respectable people because of the environment in which they grew up. Guilliman was lucky, not only falling into Macragge, a world that is close to heaven, but also With all the love of his adoptive father, Conor Guilliman, and his adoptive mother, Thalasa Euton, he grew up in a happy, complete family, so he understands humans and the world and has normal values.

Although Dorne fell into a world of ice and snow (a joke here, GW really has no imagination, anyway, the harsh environment is snow), the tribe that raised Dorne is a united place. All relatives take care of each other, emphasizing the sense of responsibility and lack of care. Never give up, especially the kind old patriarch who raised Dorne. He had a profound influence on Dorne. He would wrap the little primarch in his own blanket and tell him stories, fairy tales and everything in the world. Only then It is the key to shaping Dorne as a person, not something innate.

So much so that after Dorne became the original body, even with his physique, he would spread the robe of his grandfather on the bed to sleep. So I always believe that the so-called setting should not just look at a dry setting, but should be updated. Think more about what is underneath and what caused all this, rather than making a preconceived conclusion.

These are some of my ideas and the logic behind writing a book. I don’t know if you all agree with it, but you are welcome to continue to put forward critical ideas. I welcome your criticism, because criticism means thinking about problems. I think this is Good enough.

I will continue to explain your various questions in the future. This time it is over for now. Thank you for watching. Today’s update will not be affected.

Finally, please give me a monthly pass, a recommendation, and a subscription. Thank you~
