Chapter 23 "Umbrella Conquest Operation"
Location: Imperium Caelestis Temporary Command HQ – Safe Zone on Earth
Inside a high-tech command room, Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed stood in front of a holographic map projecting a real-time image of Earth. Glowing red dots indicated the locations of Umbrella Corporation bases and facilities, stretching from the Nevada desert to the Arctic ice.
Commander Varn's report had just come in. After reading it, Creed gave his order without further ado:
> "Send a small team. Include three Space Marines. Destination: Arcadia."
Creed relayed the message to Colonel Schaeffer.
He observed a projection of a giant tanker off the coast. Arcadia, once Umbrella's home base, had been taken over by Colonel Schaeffer.
> "Arcadia is taken care of. Cross it off the priority list."
His hand moved firmly to cross out the target from the panel.
With his arms crossed behind his back, Creed stared at the map of Earth covered in signs of infiltration and chaos. His voice was deep, thoughtful:
> "The major nations have been infiltrated by the Inquisition. All that's left is to place Gloriana-class Battleships in orbit above them... or directly into the planet's atmosphere. The psychological effect will be maximized."
On the screen, the five major Umbrella Corporation facilities are listed, the result of the Tech-Priest Mechanicus's infiltration of the system:
1. The Hive - Underground lab in Raccoon City.
2. Umbrella Tower - Desert tower in Nevada.
3. Arcadia - Floating tanker (already secured).
4. Submarine Base / Tokyo Facility - Hidden complex beneath Tokyo.
5. Umbrella Prime Facility - Main headquarters in the Arctic ice.
Creed narrowed his eyes, considering who to send to each location. Several names were already written down.
Imperium Caelestis Strategic Report Extract – Terra Standard Date: 008.M42-EV
Status: Umbrella Facilities Taken Over
In the shadow of the ruins of an ancient civilization, the forces of the Imperium Caelestis moved swiftly, decisively, and uncompromisingly. Within 72 hours of the order being issued by Castellan Ursarkar E. Creed, four vital Umbrella Corporation facilities had been completely captured.

1. The Hive – Raccoon City, North America
Three elite members — Gries, Toren, and Revarn — were lowered through an old evacuation shaft filled with booby traps and undead remains. In less than an hour, the automated defense systems were disabled, and the Red Queen AI was successfully compromised. Now under the direct control of Emperor Kenthelion Celestus, the entity became part of his military intellectual collection.
The virus storage room and the cryochamber containing the human experiments were secured. All Umbrella leaders on site — including former senior scientists and high-ranking security officers — were mercilessly executed. Only one was left alive: the old Alice, now handed over to the Alice clones and told the truth by Kenthelion, that she was only a clone.

2. Umbrella Tower – Nevada Desert
The forces of Cain, Veridyan, and Lirae struck the desert tower like a heavenly lightning bolt. With modified satellite coordinates, Umbrella Tower was attacked from the air and ground. Within hours, their main command center and global data center were completely overrun.
Now, Umbrella's old communications network has been transformed into a propaganda center for the Imperium Caelestis. Broadcasting doctrine, direct threats against the Inquisition's remaining forces, and selective virus-spreading projects against the enemy are conducted from here.

3. Tokyo Submarine Base – Japan
A terrifying mechanical and biological unit—Thassor Malric, Lektan, and Kataphron Alpha-12—was sent into the depths of Tokyo. They swept through the mutants of active genetic experiments, eradicating any biological deviations that did not conform to the Imperium's standards.
The cloning facility and transformation lab were captured intact. The White Queen AI, the facility's primary control system, is now in the personal custody of Emperor Kenthelion, paired with the Red Queen as a tool of information dominance and biological planning.

4. Umbrella Prime Facility – Arctic
The entire combined forces, including the Imperium's main strike force, were dropped into a fierce ice storm. The fighting there was the hardest — Umbrella's last defensive structure held out for a full 14 hours before finally collapsing.
With all controls secured, the building: the Imperium's emblem now adorns every wall. The facility officially became a secret research base for the Imperium's illicit biological and weapons projects — managed directly by the Imperial Officio Biologi branch.
