hh3節(jié)譯:拯救者

Even in the days before the coming of Corvus Corax, the XIXth Legion was renowned for its skill at fast strikes and hit-and-run raids. As with many Legions, this skill quickly became ingrained into the nascent Legion as they came to be employed more and more in these roles, eschewing the massed battles and attritional warfare favoured by other Legions. As well as moulding the tactics of the XIXlh Legion, this tendency also affected the Legions armoury, which swiftly found itself biased towards light attack vehicles and those marks of armour that favoured agility and stealth over bulkier plating.
即使在克瓦斯 卡拉克斯到來之前,第十九軍團也因其快速打擊和游擊突襲的技巧而著稱。和許多軍團一樣,隨著他們越來越多地執(zhí)行此類任務(wù),這種技能很快在新生的軍團中變得根深蒂固,他們也避免著其他軍團偏好的大規(guī)模戰(zhàn)斗和消耗戰(zhàn)。這種傾向不僅塑造了第十九軍團的戰(zhàn)術(shù),也影響了他們的軍械庫——他們很快就發(fā)現(xiàn)自己偏愛輕型攻擊載具,他們也更偏好隱形效果和敏捷性更為優(yōu)秀的動力甲型號,而非那些擁有更為厚重的板甲的型號。

The earliest marks of Terminator armour were no exception. Despite the favour shown to the Tactical Dreadnought Armour project by Horus himself, who acted as patron to the XIXth Legion in the absence of?their Primarch, many of the warriors of the XIXth were ill- disposed towards the slow and bulky Cataphractii suits. Some did adopt their use, mainly those chapters who had long served in the shadow of the Luna Wolves siege and heavy assault companies, becoming adept at close range shock assault from both aerial transport and teleport deployment.
這種傾向在第十九軍團對終結(jié)者動力甲最早型號的態(tài)度上也未能例外。荷魯斯在克拉克斯回歸前擔(dān)任第十九軍團的庇護者,雖然戰(zhàn)帥本人對于戰(zhàn)術(shù)無畏動力甲計劃表現(xiàn)出的贊成喜愛,但第十九軍團的戰(zhàn)士們厭惡緩慢笨重的鐵騎型終結(jié)者動力甲。不過第十九軍團中確實有些戰(zhàn)團使用了鐵騎型終結(jié)者動力甲,這主要是因為他們長期在影月蒼狼軍團攻城連隊和重型突擊連隊的陰影下作戰(zhàn),變得擅長于開展依托于空中運輸和傳送部署的近距離突擊。(機仆:看向某貧窮的星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團…)


The Legionaries of the XIXth Legion came to refer to these detachments as Deliverers, both for the carnage they brought to the enemy and for their tendency to be deployed when the daring assaults favoured by the XIXth Legion floundered and threatened to fail. Horus himself is known to have honoured the Deliverers attached to the Pale Nomads Chapter for the ferocity of their counter-attack at the Siege of Novas-Praxim, including them as part of his personal entourage until the Raven Lord claimed command of his Legion.
第十九軍團的戰(zhàn)士們開始稱這些分遣小隊為“拯救者”——即是因為他們帶給敵人們的大屠殺,也是因為當(dāng)?shù)谑跑妶F偏好的大膽進攻陷入困境并出現(xiàn)失敗的危險時,這些部隊就會被部署。據(jù)人們所知,由于在Novas-Praxim圍攻戰(zhàn)中反擊勇猛,荷魯斯本人公開表達了對于那些屬于蒼白游牧人戰(zhàn)團的拯救者們的敬意(機仆:估計這里是fw筆誤,蒼白游牧人是鴉衛(wèi)軍團曾經(jīng)的稱號),直到暗鴉之主索回了第十九軍團的指揮權(quán)。

In the wake of Corvus Corax's return, the Deliverers were rarely called upon by the Primarch. Most were assigned to distant Crusade fleets and those who remained at Corax's side became the avatars of his carefully controlled anger, loosed when an enemy proved itself worthy only of utter destruction.
在克瓦斯 克拉克斯回歸之后,拯救者們幾乎從未被原體召喚過。大多數(shù)拯救者都被指派到了遙遠的遠征艦隊當(dāng)中,那些留在克拉克斯身邊的則成為了原體那仔細克制的怒火的化身——當(dāng)敵人證明自己只配遭到徹底毀滅時才會被釋放。
