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.

在考斯上的戰(zhàn)斗結(jié)束之后，我們幾乎不可能準確描繪出戰(zhàn)斗人員遭受的損失。由于科爾 法倫的行為，星球表面幾乎無法居住，而無論是收回逝者的遺體，還是核準那些心懷叛意來到此地者的亡骸，都已經(jīng)被證明是不現(xiàn)實的。

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.

在基里曼和殘余的第十三軍團艦隊撤離考斯時，極限戰(zhàn)士記錄了他們的人員損失：114922名阿斯塔特戰(zhàn)死，28392名阿斯塔特因戰(zhàn)斗創(chuàng)傷或精神創(chuàng)傷異常而無法作戰(zhàn)。在考斯參戰(zhàn)的戰(zhàn)團中，幾乎沒有哪個能夠召集起他們名義上兵力的哪怕四分之一，某些戰(zhàn)團遭受了極其嚴重的毀滅，以至于被迫重組到其他戰(zhàn)團中，他們的舊有名稱也被從第十三軍團的戰(zhàn)斗序列中移除。大多數(shù)傷者都被疏散到了艦隊中的幸存艦船中，他們快速返回到了戰(zhàn)斗職責以應(yīng)對遍布奧特拉瑪?shù)奈C——這場危機迫使基里曼下令：在短暫的疏散行動中，軍事資產(chǎn)優(yōu)先于受困平民。大約40000名極限戰(zhàn)士——既有受傷的也有準備戰(zhàn)斗的被迫留在考斯上，有些是作為志愿者前去保護未能撤退的平民，其他的則是因為形勢所迫。至于帝國輔助軍，細節(jié)則更為模糊，似乎可能有50萬凡人士兵戰(zhàn)死，而且還有惡兆泰坦軍團的一整只戰(zhàn)斗補充分隊被毀滅。

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.

至于登陸到考斯地表的懷言者部隊，幾乎無人離開。據(jù)推測可能有50000名或更多的珞珈子嗣，以及不可計數(shù)的大量輔助軍部隊被犧牲在了戰(zhàn)斗中，而且其中僅有20000人被認為是死在了最初的戰(zhàn)斗中，其余的則是在考斯進行地下世界戰(zhàn)爭，這場地下戰(zhàn)爭在最初的戰(zhàn)斗之后又持續(xù)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.

軍團艦隊遭受的損壞就和極限戰(zhàn)士軍團所遭受的同樣苦澀。極限戰(zhàn)士軍團艦隊從不以重型虛空戰(zhàn)艦的數(shù)量而著稱，而他們在考斯遭受的損失使其成為殘廢，阻止了他們在奧特拉瑪范圍之外發(fā)起任何戰(zhàn)爭的努力。這便是極限戰(zhàn)士的絕望狀況，打撈拯救漂浮在考斯軌道上廢船的任務(wù)被快速批準，盡管這樣造成了人員死亡，但此類任務(wù)仍在Veridia恒星的致命輻射下進行。
