lex节译：艾斯克拉多战役（基里曼对决欧米茄）

Eskrador is a world of the Imperium. It is most notable for being the site of a major battle between the Ultramarines and Alpha Legion in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy.

艾斯克拉多是某个帝国世界，它最著名的一点是在大叛乱之后成为了极限战士和阿尔法军团一场主要战役的战场。

During the Heresy, Alpharius (or after his apparent death on Pluto, Omegon) appeared more interested in proving his own Legion's worth by fighting, at every chance he got, the best of the Loyalist legions. Thus, even after Horus was cast down and the Heresy over, the Alpha Legion kept on fighting, moving more and more towards the galactic east, towards the Ultramarines. It was on the world known as Eskrador that Alpharius-Omegon and Roboute Guilliman would meet for the last time.

在大叛乱期间，阿尔法瑞斯（或者说是欧米茄，毕竟阿尔法瑞斯明显已经死在了冥王星战役）似乎更愿意通过争取一切机会与最优秀的忠诚军团进行战斗来证明自己的军团的价值。甚至在荷鲁斯身死战败，大叛乱已然结束后，阿尔法军团仍在战斗，而且越来越靠近银河东侧与极限战士军团。在名为艾斯克拉多的世界，阿尔法瑞斯—欧米茄将与罗伯特 基里曼爆发决战。

Believing that Guilliman would adopt his standard Codex deployment procedures, Alpharius-Omegon was surprised by the Ultramarines, as a splinter force including their Primarch made a quick strike at the Alpha Legion's headquarters. Both Primarchs met in combat and Alpharius-Omegon was killed. 

阿尔法瑞斯—欧米茄相信基里曼会采取他标准的圣典部署策略，但极限战士们给了他一个惊喜：基里曼率领一支突击队对阿尔法军团的指挥部进行了快速打击。两位原体短兵相接，阿尔法瑞斯—欧米茄战死沙场。

Believing the combat over, for who could ever survive the loss of their Primarch in battle, the Ultramarines were taken by surprise by the remaining elements of the Alpha Legion, when they struck back a day later. After a week of constant fighting and heavy losses, the Ultramarines strike force managed to reunite with their main elements, and quickly evacuated the planet. 

极限战士突击队相信战斗已经结束了，毕竟那些幸存的阿尔法军团星际战士们已经失去了他们的原体，但令极限战士突击队惊讶的是：一天之后阿尔法军团就他们进行了还击。在经过了一周的战斗，承受了严重的损失之后，突击队才与主力部队汇合，快速撤出了这个世界。

Even though they had lost their Primarch, the Alpha Legion had soundly beaten the Ultramarines, who proceeded to bombard their foes' position from outer space. It should be noted, however, that Alpharius's death is still considered suspect even by the Ultramarines, and he may still be at large.

虽然阿尔法军团失去了原体，他们仍然彻底击败了极限战士军团——极限战士们开始从外太空轰炸敌人的阵地。应当指出的是，哪怕对于极限战士而言，阿尔法瑞斯也被认为是疑似死亡，他可能仍然逍遥法外。

Alpharius' apparent earlier death during the Battle of Pluto during the Heresy complicates the mystery further, as it may have been Omegon who really died on Eskrador, if at all. Many within the Alpha Legion, such as Quetzel Charthach seem to believe that it was Omegon who was slain on Eskrador, though others like Occam believe him to still be alive.Whatever the truth, the Primarch of the Alpha Legion has not been seen since.

阿尔法瑞斯明显之前就已经死在了冥王星战役中，这也让这个问题更为错综复杂：倘若欧米茄真的存在的话，他可能真的就死在了艾斯克拉多（机仆：这场战役的设定出现在hh小说系列创作之前，而根据《军团》的说法，欧米茄确实存在）。阿尔法军团中的很多人，比如科特泽尔  查尔萨齐似乎相信死在艾斯克拉多上的就是欧米茄，不过其他人比如奥卡姆（机仆：名字灵感来源怕不是奥卡姆剃刀…）相信欧米茄仍然活着。无论真相如何，从艾斯克拉多战役后，欧米茄军团的原体再也没被见到过。
