Warhammer: The Interstellar System, Raising an Army to Crush the Chaos Rebels

Gao Yi transmigrates into Warhammer 40,000 and becomes a Rogue Trader heir from the start. He's swearing loyalty to the Emperor over his family's Trade Warrant when someone stabs him in the back, leaving him dying in a pool of blood. The System comes online in an emergency: spend psychic crystals to exchange for StarCraft units. Medic Connie arrives, and one pass of her nanobeam heals the fatal puncture wound on the spot.

Rebels break through the door. Gao Yi pawns everything he owns to recruit eight Space Marines. CMC Power Armour and Gauss Rifles unleash a storm of fire, carpeting the corridor with rebel chunks. Killing the Chaos-corrupted even drops psychic crystals, making him stronger with every kill.

The warship's Warp Engine goes out of control, and the machine spirit flies into a rage. Gao Yi spends his last three hundred crystals to summon two SCV workers. The three-meter-tall hunks of metal weld pipes and connect wires, and after a flurry of work the engine's roar instantly settles. The machine spirit hums with satisfaction. The barracks blueprint unlocks. Construction requirements: 50 tons of scrap metal and 500 psychic crystals. Gao Yi leans back in the captain's chair, looking at the officers kneeling before him, and mutters:

"Once I've saved up enough crystals, I'm putting a Starport on this ship."
