HH6节译：分裂的王国

Between the breaking of the Ruinstorm across the galaxy in early 007.M31 and Roboute GuiUiman's establishment of Imperium Secundus in 010.M31, civil war erupted across the entire galaxy. While most of the Legions, whether Traitor or Loyalist, operated as mighty armies led in person by their Primarch, every one of them had smaller forces detached to serve myriad roles across the Imperium. With the coming of the Ruinstorm, many of these detached forces were lost, cut off，isolated or simply never heard from again. In some cases, Crusade detachments returning from the outer void to find the Imperium in flames had no way of knowing the fate of their brethren, and were forced by circumstance to forge their own fates and to determine their own allegiance in a galaxy of blood, war and chaos.

从毁灭风暴在007.M31早期在全银河中爆发，到罗伯特 基里曼于010.M31建立第二帝国的时间中，内战在整个银河中爆发。无论是忠诚派还是叛军，大多数军团都是由原体亲自率领大部分部队作战，但他们也都会派出派出小规模特遣队到帝国各处执行各种任务。随着毁灭风暴的到来，许多被派遣的部队迷路、失去联系、被孤立或者仅仅是再也没有被听说过。在某些情况中，从外界虚空返回的远征派遣部队发现帝国陷入一片战火，而他们也无从得知兄弟们的命运，在这个满是战争与混乱的血腥银河中，环境迫使他们铸造出自己的命运并决定自己效忠于谁。

Entire cohorts of historators and savants have attempted to piece together a coherent picture of the status and deployment of the major Legiones Astartes forces in this period. In all likelihood such a picture is impossible to compose in entirety, and so our knowledge must remain incomplete.

众多历史学家和文书们试图将主要阿斯塔特军团部队在这一时期的状态和部署情况拼凑成一幅有条理的图画。这幅图画十有八九是不可能包含全貌的，所以我们的知识也并不完整。

Dark Angels 

黑暗天使

The bulk of the Ist Legion was engaged against the Night Lords for much of the period, and in the aftermath of the Lion's victory over the Traitor Primarch at Tsagualsa despatched numerous strike forces across the eastern galaxy to hunt down the splintered foe. Many did not return, pursuing their own missions across the Ultima Segmentum and beyond, Some of these detached forces encountered other similarly isolated or orphaned Legiones Astartes groups, finding common cause with some and fighting others to the death, the Ruinstorm making it impossible for them to return home or receive new orders.

在黑暗年代的大部分时候，大部分第一军团部队在与午夜领主军团交战，在莱昂于Tsagualsa世界战胜叛徒原体之后，雄狮向银河东部派出了众多打击部队来猎捕分裂的敌军部队。很多部队都没有返回，而是在极限星域内外执行自己的任务，某些特遣部队遇到了其他同样被孤立或与军团失联的阿斯塔特军团部队，他们与其中的某些同舟共济，与其他的则是拼到你死我活，毁灭风暴使他们不可能返回母星或收到新的命令。

Emperor's Children

帝皇之子

As the Traitors advanced towards Terra, the bulk of the III Legion massed in a single fleet about its flagship, the Pride of the Emperor, and for many months after Isstvan V the Legion experienced a traumatic rebirth, falling from grace and becoming something other than it had been in the pursuit of its newly awakened dark passions. Fulgrim would at length regain control over his wayward sons and lead them in a quest that would see him attain a new and horrific mode of existence. The bulk of the remainder of the Emperor's Children had been ordered to track down and slay any Loyalists who had escaped. It was a mission many an Emperor's Children Legion praetor accepted and undertook with relish, and which many proved highly adept at prosecuting.

随着叛军向泰拉挺进，第三军团的大部分部队围绕着他们的旗舰——帝皇之傲号聚集成了一支独立的舰队，他们在伊斯特万五号之后的数个月中经历了一次痛苦的重生，从优雅的阿斯塔特堕落为某种只顾追求自己新近被唤醒的黑暗激情的事物，弗格瑞姆最终将重新控制住他任性的儿子们，他会率领子嗣们进行一种探索，后者将会见证他获得一种全新而令人震惊的存在形式。绝大部分帝皇之子残军被命令去追踪和屠杀所有逃亡的忠诚派。许多帝皇之子军团的执政官们都愉快地接受并完成了这项任务，其中很多人都证明自己非常善于巡捕搜索（自己的堂亲兄弟们）。

Iron Warriors 

钢铁勇士

After Isstvan V the Primarch Perturabo was tasked by Horus with a campaign of planetary assaults against key Loyalist fortress worlds, in particular those defending the marches of the Segmentum Solar. By the close of 009.M31 these were well underway, and while the Iron Wrriors fleet remained centred on its Primarch, detached siege forces operated across the Imperium.

在伊斯特万五号战役之后，荷鲁斯命令佩图拉博负责了一场针对忠诚派关键要塞世界，尤其是太阳星域中那些在他们的前进道路上进行防御的帝国要塞世界的行星进攻战役，这项任务在009.M31结束时便开始进行，同时钢铁勇士的舰队依然集中在原体身边，他们向整个帝国都派出了攻城部队。

As they ground through Loyalist sectors, taking key bastion worlds as they advanced, the Iron Warriors assumed the role of brutal overlords, overseeing the consolidation of Traitor power on recently captured worlds. As such, they were often the target of attacks by orphaned Legiones Astartes forces and became experts in countering such raids.

随着他们碾过了忠诚派的星区，并在前进中夺取了关键的堡垒世界，钢铁勇士们也成为了残暴的霸主，他们在被新近征服的世界上监督着叛军力量的巩固。因此，他们也经常成为阿斯塔特军团孤儿部队的攻击目标，而他们也变得擅长于反击这些掠袭。

White Scars 

白色伤疤

Thanks to the machinations of the Traitor Alpha Legion, the bulk of the Vth Legion was embroiled in a long and bitter war against the Orks at Chondax when the seeds of the Horus Heresy were being sown, and for quite some time the allegiance of their Primarch, Jaghatai Khan, was unknown. Those operating further afield were ignorant of their Primarch's intent and forced to determine their loyalties for themselves. The Primarch would later purge his Legion of those who had declared for Horus, and expel those who had come close to doing so. The latter were ordered to undertake a nigh-suicidal campaign of infiltration and assassination, numerous small forces of 'Sagyar Mazan' let loose into the galaxy to act as autonomous death-seekers.

因为叛徒阿尔法军团的隐秘，当荷鲁斯叛乱的种子被播下时，第五军团的绝大部分部队在Chondax星系被卷入了与欧克兽人之间漫长艰苦的战争，而在相当长的时间中，白疤原体察合台可汗的忠诚对象也不得而知。那些在更为遥远的战场上作战的战士们不知晓他们原体的意图，他们被迫自行决定忠诚对象。原体之后将会清洗掉自己军团中那些宣誓效忠荷鲁斯的战士，并且驱逐了那些准备做出相同行为的战士们。后者被命令去进行一场近乎自杀的渗透和暗杀战役，很多支小规模的“赎罪小队”被释放到银河中去充当自主的死亡寻路者。

Space Wolves

太空野狼

The Space Wolves sustained heavy losses in their battles against first the Thousand Sons Legion at Prospero and then the Alpha Legion in the aftermath of that operation, but remained a potent force largely held in reserve to defend Terra for much of the early to middle period of the Horus Heresy. Earlier however Leman Russ had, for his own reasons, despatched numerous small detachments to keep watch on other Legions, and of these not all are accounted for and some are likely to have acted either alone or in small groups alongside other, similarly disposed forces also cut off from their Legion's chain of command.

在对抗千子军团的第一次普罗斯佩罗之战与之后和阿尔法军团的战斗中，太空野狼军团遭受了严重损失，但在荷鲁斯叛乱中早期的大多数时候，他们很大程度上仍然是一支保卫泰拉的强大后备力量。不过出于自己的某些原因，黎曼 鲁斯在之前派出了许多小规模分遣队去监视其他军团，这些分遣队并未被全部算入其中，有些战士可能是独自一人或者与其他人组成小团队来执行任务，类似的分遣队也被切断了与自己军团指挥链之间的联系。

Imperial Fists 

帝国之拳

The bulk of the Imperial Fists stood at Terra with their Primarch, building Terra's defences against the Warmaster’ inevitable invasion. However, a great many had been lost or scattered on the tides of the Warp on the voyage to or from the Phall system and so fought alongside other similarly isolated Legiones Astartes forces. Others had been deployed before the Horus Heresy as garrison forces across vast swathes of the Imperium and as worlds fell to the Warmaster's 'Dark Empire', so those forces that could fought a fighting withdrawal.

帝国之拳军团的大部分部队随同原体驻守在泰拉，他们在修建抵御战帅那必将到来的入侵的防御工事。不过，在前往法尔星系和从那里返回的航程中，很多人都在亚空间浪潮中迷失或者分散了，这些战士们与那些和他们境况类似的被孤立星际战士部队并肩作战。其他部队则是在荷鲁斯叛乱之前就被派往帝国广阔的疆域中进行驻军，而随着这些世界落入战帅的“黑暗帝国”之中，这些部队也进行了战斗撤退。

Night Lord

午夜领主

Throughout much of this period, the Night Lords were a highly splintered Legion, their fleet having been ambushed by the Dark Angels at the height of the Thramas Crusade and their Primarch grievously wounded at the hand of his brother. Sevatar, First Captain of the Legion, attempted to take control of the core of the Legion, but many of its individual companies and chapters rampaged through the Ultima Segmentum, pursuing their own dark missions of bloodshed among the stars. Not until the Legion was finally reunited with its Primarch were these forces drawn together into a coherent whole, and even then many remained in the darkness, accustomed to the night they had made their own and unwilling to submit themselves to higher command.

在黑暗年代的大部分时期中，午夜领主都是一个高度分裂的军团，他们的舰队在萨拉马斯远征的高潮遭到了黑暗天使的伏击，他们的原体也被自己兄弟亲手所重伤。军团的第一连长赛瓦塔尝试着控制住军团的核心，但很多独立的连队和战团在极限星域中横冲直撞，在群星间追求着自己浸透鲜血的任务。直到原体重新将军团统一起来，这些部队才被聚合成了一个连贯的整体，但即便如此，仍有很多人隐藏于黑暗中，他们习惯于自己所创造出的黑夜，不愿服从上级指挥官的安排。

Blood Angels 

圣血天使

At the opening of the Horus Heresy, the fate of the Blood Angels was unknown and this would remain the case until the Legion's return in 010.M31. The Blood Angels had been ordered to muster at the Nartaba System and from there to deploy to Signus Prime to crush a major recidivist uprising. Several thousand Legionaries never arrived there however, some serving as Lamentii honour guardians watching over silent battlefields wherever the Legion had shed its blood while others simply never reached Nartaba, their vessels cast far and wide upon the tides of the Warp when the Ruinstorm struck.

在荷鲁斯叛乱爆发时，圣血天使军团的命运无人知晓，直到他们在010.M31回归之前，情况一直如此。圣血天使被命令在Nartaba星系进行集结，并从那里前往西格纳斯主星去镇压一场惯犯们引发的暴动。但有数千名军团战士未能到达那里，有些是作为Lamentii世界的荣誉守卫监视者寂静的战场，而此时军团正在西格纳斯主星血战群魔，其他人则是从未抵达Nartaba星系，当毁灭风暴来袭时，他们的舰船在亚空间浪潮中严重偏离，迷失了方向。

It was only later that news of their survival began to filter out and then only very slowly thanks to the Ruinstorm. For a period of almost five years, many of those lost and scattered Blood Angels forces who survived their mis-jumps to Nartaba had every reason to believe themselves orphans.

直到后来，第九军团幸存的消息才被过滤出来，而且由于毁灭风暴，信息只能非常缓慢地传播。在大约五年的时间中，很多未能跳跃到到Nartaba星系的迷失和分散的圣血天使部队有各种理由相信自己成为了孤儿。

Iron Hands 

钢铁之手

The most numerous of the Legions that were betrayed at Isstvan V, the Iron Hands were also the most affected for they lost their Primarch on the black sands of the Urgall Depression and with him all that made them the 'Iron Tenth.The Legion fractured into Actions and many coalesced, along with elements of other Legions, to form autonomous warfleets prosecuting their own wars against the Traitors. Many served in the Shattered Legions of Shadrak Meduson, some under Autek Mor and others still pursued their own campaigns of redemption at such 'places of vengeance' as Gagia, Sacrissan and Agromis, serving bloody justice upon their erstwhile brothers.

在伊斯特万五号遭到背叛的军团中，钢铁之手是人数最多的，在Urgall绝望平原黑色的沙地上，他们失去了原体和让他们成为“铁十”的一切，所以他们也是受创最严重的。军团分散为行动队，许多人和其他军团的分队合为一体，组成自主的战争舰队，推行着他们自己针对叛军的战争。很多人都加入了沙达克 美杜森的破碎军团，某些人加入了奥塔克 摩尔的麾下，其他人则在诸如Gagia, Sacrissan和Agromis之类的“复仇之地”进行着自己的救赎战争，对他们之前的兄弟们降下血腥的审判。

World Eaters 

吞世者

The bulk of the World Eaters were fully committed to the Shadow Crusade far to the galactic east, yet the Legion was in possession of a number of fief worlds, not least among them the muster world on which Angron had assumed command of his Legion—Bodt. Many were used as rapid induction and indoctrination centres in order to fuel the Legion's ceaseless hunger for new recruits. It was Loyalist Shattered Legion forces that first encountered these centres, and a long shadow war was waged for control of them, the World Eaters leading forces of hideous, rapid-grown inductii to hunt down and slaughter their troublesome foe.

吞世者军团主力全部被派往遥远的银河东部去参加暗影远征。第十二军团拥有着诸多封地世界，其中尤为重要的是征兵世界Bodt，安格隆就是在这里接过了军团的指挥权。很多世界都利用快速催化和灌输中心来满足军团对于新兵的无尽需求，而为了控制住他们，军团发动了一场漫长的暗影战争，吞世者们领导着可怕的速生新兵们去追猎和屠杀他们麻烦的敌人。

Ultramarines 

极限战士

The bulk of the Ultramarines Legion had mustered at Calth and for most of 007. M31 and 008.M31 were engaged in the bitter war to repulse the so-called Shadow Crusade of the Primarchs Angron and Lorgar. Nevertheless, Legion detachments were stationed elsewhere, on lynchpin worlds such as Molech and serving in the Conquestor fleets of Rogue Trader Militants. There are likely to have been Ultramarines units that had not arrived at Calth when the Word Bearers, betrayal struck, and such units are likely to have operated as independent, autonomous forces until they re-established contact with their chain of command.

极限战士军团主力在考斯进行了集结，在007. M31 和 008.M31的大多数时候，为了应对原体安格隆和珞珈发动的所谓“暗影远征”，第十三军团陷入了一场苦涩的战争。不过，也有军团分遣队驻守在其他地区，比如莫勒奇这样的关键世界，也有分队加入了行商浪人军事组织的征服者舰队。当怀言者进行背刺时，可能有些极限战士单位尚未抵达考斯，在与军团的指挥链重新建立联系之前，他们可能是作为独立自主的部队进行运作。

Death Guard

死亡守卫

The bulk of the Death Guard Legion was accompanying the main Traitor advance alongside the Sons of Horus, and as such most of the Legion remained close to and directly under the command of their Primarch. The Legion came into frequent conflict with various elements of the Shattered Legions, in particular those of Shadrak Meduson whose forces operated deep behind Traitor lines in an effort to disrupt their control of the Warmaster's dark empire. Some accounts describe Death Guard Legion units detached from the main force with the aim of enacting terrible atrocities upon seemingly innocent target worlds in order to draw attacks by Loyalist elements operating far behind the main lines, unprecedented levels of destruction being unleashed simply to engage these comparatively small, yet highly disruptive forces.

死亡守卫军团主力随同荷鲁斯之子参与了叛军的主要攻势，所以大多数军团成员紧靠在原体身边并直接处于原体的指挥下。死亡守卫军团与破碎军团的各种分队发生了频繁的冲突，尤其是沙达克 美杜森那些深入叛军战线背后，努力扰乱叛军对于战帅黑暗帝国的控制的部队。某些资料显示死亡守卫军团从主力部队中分遣出了某些单位，他们的目的是要在某些看似无辜的世界发动恐怖暴行，以牵制那些在主要战线大后方活动的忠诚派分队的进攻。死亡守卫分队进行了级别空前的毁灭行动，只是为了对付这些相对微小但破坏性极高的敌人。

Thousand Sons

千子

Throughout this period, the majority of the Thousand Sons Legion was lost to the galaxy and their fate would not be known until sometime later. Nevertheless, rumours lingered of smaller groups fighting across the Imperium at locations as far-flung as Prism, Chbal, Logan's World and Yamnan, seemingly on both sides of the Loyalist/Traitor divide and frequently in the company of other orphaned forces, including Blackshields elements. None of these rumours have been, nor in all likelihood can ever be confirmed.

在整个黑暗年代中，千子军团的主力都迷失在了银河中，直到某些事情之后他们的命运才为人所知。尽管如此，在如同Prism, Chbal, Logan世界和Yamnan那样遥远的地方，仍然有谣言声称有小规模的千子战士团体在银河各处作战，忠诚派和叛军双方都有千子部队参战，他们通常与其他孤儿部队共同作战，包括黑盾战帮。这些谣言都没有得到证实，也没有任何可能会得到证实。

Sons of Horus

The Legion of the Warmaster himself was the main army of conquest throughout the Traitor advance on Terra, but smaller forces were detached, often alongside elements of the Emperor's Children, to hunt down those broken and scattered Loyalists who had escaped Isstvan V Later on, the Legion would become the main target for numerous Loyalist Shattered Legion attacks. It fell to Tybalt Marr, a captain of the Sons of Horus, to combat these attacks and it was he who first perceived that they were not random assaults but each part of an impossibly complex strategy to bleed the Warmaster's Legion to a husk before it could reach its ultimate target 一 Terra.

战帅本人的军团是叛军挺进泰拉征服行动中的主力军队，但他们也派出了一些小规模部队，通常是随同帝皇之子分队去猎杀那些从伊斯特万五号逃走的四分五裂的忠诚派部队。第十六军团之后会成为忠诚派破碎军团许多次袭击的主要目标。解决这些袭击的责任落到了荷鲁斯之子连长提巴尔特 马尔的肩上——正是他第一个意识到这些袭击并非是随意的进攻，而是某个复杂到不可能的战略的组成部分：破碎军团要在叛军们抵达最终目标——泰拉之前不断让战帅的军团遭到削弱，直到荷鲁斯之子们失去保护外壳。

Word Bearers

怀言者

The bulk of the XVIIth Legion was engaged alongside the World Eaters in the Shadow Crusade against the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar, until their assault was cast back in late 008.M31. Numerous Word Bearers detachments served alongside other Traitor Legions however, often in order to impart their fell wisdom in matters of the Abyss and as such, they also had a presence in the Traitor forces assigned to hunt down and eradicate Loyalist Shattered Legions. Such forces often took the form of a Word Bearers Chaplain or Diabolist, attended by a number of Legion squads, who would serve alongside other Traitor Legion forces, support their operations and advise them in matters of esoteric lore.

第十七军团的主力和吞世者军团共同对极限星域的五百世界发动了暗影远征，直到008.M31后期他们的进攻才被回撤。不过也有许多怀言者分遣队和其他叛徒军团共同作战，他们通常是为了在关于深渊（亚空间）的事务中传授自己堕落的智慧，所以他们也会出现在负责追捕和根除忠诚派破碎军团的叛军部队中。这些部队的形式通常是一名怀言者牧师或恶魔术士率领着许多军团小队，他们会与其他叛军军团部队共同作战，支援他们的行动并在与深奥学识（亚空间知识）有关的事务上进行建议。

Salamanders 

火蜥蜴

The Salamanders suffered the most grievously of the three Legions betrayed at Isstvan V and for several years had every reason to believe their Primarch was dead alongside that of the Iron Hands. Many of those who could fight clear of Isstvan V made their way back to Nocturne, while many others threw in their lot with the Iron Hands and Raven Guard, and fought on in these mixed units for much of the Horus Heresy.The fate of the Salamanders Primarch would only be revealed much later and it would be many generations before they were able to mount conventional operations again.

在伊斯特万五号遭到背叛的三个军团中，火蜥蜴损失最为惨重，他们在很多年里都有各种理由相信自己的原体和铁手原体共同牺牲在了叛徒手中。许多从伊斯特万五号奋战而生的火蜥蜴战士都回到了夜曲星，而其他很多人则是与钢铁之手和暗鸦守卫组成联军，这些混合单位在荷鲁斯叛乱的大多数时候都在与叛军激战。火蜥蜴原体的命运在很久之后才会被揭晓，而他们需要很多代人之后才能再次进行正常运作。

Raven Guard

暗鸦守卫

Having survived the horrors of the Urgall Depression, the Primarch Corax began a program of rapid-induction of new recruits into his Raptor  companies in order to swiftly bolster his Legion's numbers, although many of these proved unstable. The bulk of the Legion then undertook a campaign to liberate worlds whose leaders had declared for the Warmaster, but it is suspected that several dozen smaller autonomous groups remained active in the darkness, perhaps following the 'nomad predation' mode of warfare.

原体克拉克斯从Urgall绝望平原恐怖的背叛中幸存下来，他开始了一个项目：将新兵快速催生后纳入到猛禽连队中，目的是快速增加军团的人数，但很多猛禽被证明并不稳定。第十九军团之后发起了一场战役，旨在解放那些其领袖宣布效忠于战士的世界。但似乎暗鸦守卫军团仍有数十个小型的自主团队在黑暗中活动，他们遵循着“游牧狩猎”的战争模式。

Alpha Legion

The activities of the Alpha Legion throughout much of the Age of Darkness are shrouded in mystery; though the Legion's activities and operations may not always have been hidden, their objectives and aims certainly were. After Chondax, certain elements of the Alpha Legion appear to have been tasked with hunting down Loyalist Shattered Legions, a task they proved exceptionally adept at. Unlike Emperor's Children hunter-killer forces tasked with such missions, Alpha Legion hunters engaged in subtle and far-reaching espionage, sowing disinformation and confusion among the Loyalists and in so doing significantly furthering the Traitor cause. 

阿尔法军团在黑暗年代大部分时期的行动仍然包裹在迷雾中，不过，他们的行动和运作不会总是被隐藏住，他们的目的明显也是一样。在Chondax战役之后，阿尔法军团的某些分队似乎负责了猎捕忠诚派破碎军团的任务，而他们也证明自己罕见得擅长于这项任务。不同于帝皇之子军团负责此类任务的猎杀部队，阿尔法军团的猎手们采用了狡猾的远距离间谍战术，在忠诚派当中散播虚假消息和混乱，这种做法显著地促成了叛军的目标。
