The Martyrs of Calth

In the aftermath of the fighting on Calth, it was all but impossible to form an accurate picture of the losses incurred on the combatants. With the surface of the planet rendered all but uninhabitable by the actions of Kor Phaeron, it has since proved impractical to recover many of the fallen or verify the deaths of those who came to Calth with treachery in their hearts.

在考斯上的战斗结束之后，我们几乎不可能准确描绘出战斗人员遭受的损失。由于科尔 法伦的行为，星球表面几乎无法居住，而无论是收回逝者的遗体，还是核准那些心怀叛意来到此地者的亡骸，都已经被证明是不现实的。

The Ultramarines recorded their casualties at the moment when Guilliman and the remains of the XIIId1 Legion fleet departed Calth at 119422 Legiones Astartes fallen in combat, with a further 28,392 rendered combat-incapable by battle injuries and trauma. Few of the chapters committed to Calth could muster even a quarter of their nominal strength, and some were so decimated that they faced being reorganised into other chapters and their old designations removed from the XIIIth Legion's order of battle. Most of the injured were evacuated to the surviving craft of the fleet and swiftly returned to combat duties in the crisis that was unfolding across Ultramar, a crisis that forced Guilliman to order the prioritisation of military assets over the stranded civilians in the brief evacuation effort. Almost 40,000 Ultramarines, both wounded and combat-ready, were forced to remain on Calth, some as volunteers, set to the protection of those civilians who could not be evacuated, and others due to the brutal dictates of circumstance. Of the forces of the Excertus Imperialis, details are more vague, but it seems likely that at least half a million men-under-arms perished during the fighting, alongside the entire fighting complement of the Legio Praesagius.

在基里曼和残余的第十三军团舰队撤离考斯时，极限战士记录了他们的人员损失：114922名阿斯塔特战死，28392名阿斯塔特因战斗创伤或精神创伤异常而无法作战。在考斯参战的战团中，几乎没有哪个能够召集起他们名义上兵力的哪怕四分之一，某些战团遭受了极其严重的毁灭，以至于被迫重组到其他战团中，他们的旧有名称也被从第十三军团的战斗序列中移除。大多数伤者都被疏散到了舰队中的幸存舰船中，他们快速返回到了战斗职责以应对遍布奥特拉玛的危机——这场危机迫使基里曼下令：在短暂的疏散行动中，军事资产优先于受困平民。大约40000名极限战士——既有受伤的也有准备战斗的被迫留在考斯上，有些是作为志愿者前去保护未能撤退的平民，其他的则是因为形势所迫。至于帝国辅助军，细节则更为模糊，似乎可能有50万凡人士兵战死，而且还有恶兆泰坦军团的一整只战斗补充分队被毁灭。

Of the Word Bearers who landed on the surface of Calth, almost none would ever leave. It is estimated that 50,000 or more of Lorgar's sons and an uncounted mass of Auxilia troops were sacrificed in the battle, although only 20,000 are thought to have died in the initial fighting, with the remainder prosecuting the Underworld War on Calth for over a decade after the initial battle.

至于登陆到考斯地表的怀言者部队，几乎无人离开。据推测可能有50000名或更多的珞珈子嗣，以及不可计数的大量辅助军部队被牺牲在了战斗中，而且其中仅有20000人被认为是死在了最初的战斗中，其余的则是在考斯进行地下世界战争，这场地下战争在最初的战斗之后又持续了十年以上。

Just as bitter to the Ultramarines Legion was the damage inflicted on its fleet assets. Never renowned for the numbers of heavy combat void craft in its service, the losses suffered at Calth were crippling and hamstrung any effort to prosecute a war beyond the bounds of Ultramar. Such was the Ultramarines’ desperation, missions to salvage the hulks drifting in orbit above Calth were quickly authorised despite the death toll such missions exacted in the deadly radiation of the Veridia star.

军团舰队遭受的损坏就和极限战士军团所遭受的同样苦涩。极限战士军团舰队从不以重型虚空战舰的数量而著称，而他们在考斯遭受的损失使其成为残废，阻止了他们在奥特拉玛范围之外发起任何战争的努力。这便是极限战士的绝望状况，打捞拯救漂浮在考斯轨道上废船的任务被快速批准，尽管这样造成了人员死亡，但此类任务仍在Veridia恒星的致命辐射下进行。
