In distant Ultramar, Roboute Guilliman first looked to his own borders, blinded as he was behind the veil of?the Ruinstorm. He was shocked by the rapidity with which Calth was lost, a phenomenal achievement for the Word Bearers in military terms. Had it purely been a war of Legion against Legion, the battle could have dragged on for many more months, even given the total surprise with which Lorgar's forces had struck. The factor which tipped the scales in the battle was not of the Principia Bellicosa, whose strategies Guilliman was privately adapting and refining with his Legion, but of?a nature previously unknown to him.

在遙遠(yuǎn)的奧特拉瑪，羅伯特 基里曼第一次看向了自己的邊境，但毀滅風(fēng)暴的帷幕阻礙了他的視線(xiàn)。考斯淪陷的速度之快令他震驚，從軍事角度來(lái)說(shuō)，懷言者們?nèi)〉昧朔欠驳某删?。如果純粹讓兩個(gè)軍團(tuán)進(jìn)行對(duì)抗的話(huà)，即使考慮到珞珈的軍隊(duì)發(fā)動(dòng)了突襲，這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗也可能會(huì)持續(xù)幾個(gè)月。在戰(zhàn)斗中使天平傾斜的因素并非來(lái)源于《基礎(chǔ)軍典》——吉利曼正在私下根據(jù)該著作的戰(zhàn)術(shù)規(guī)定調(diào)整和完善自己的軍團(tuán)，而是某種他以前不知道的實(shí)質(zhì)。

With Calth lost for all time, and the threat of?ruin hanging over his legacy in Ultramar thanks to the ravages of the Shadow Crusade, the master of Macragge long dwelt upon the theoretical merits of?the methods used by the XVIIth Legion. The weaponised use of?Warpbased entities became of particular interest to Guilliman who, having overturned the Edict of Nikaea perforce on Calth, was coldly ready to adapt any practical method of?defence against the esoteric threats he faced.

基里曼已經(jīng)永遠(yuǎn)失去了考斯，而且由于暗影遠(yuǎn)征的破壞，毀滅的威脅籠罩著奧特拉瑪，馬庫(kù)拉格之主對(duì)于第十七軍團(tuán)使用的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)手段的理論優(yōu)點(diǎn)進(jìn)行了長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的闡述。基里曼尤其感興趣的是對(duì)于亞空間實(shí)體的武器化利用，他在考斯上就已經(jīng)違背過(guò)了尼凱亞禁令，他現(xiàn)在準(zhǔn)備冷漠地采取任何實(shí)用的防御方法以應(yīng)對(duì)他所面臨的神秘威脅。

In secret, Guilliman gathered thirteen senior Librarians of his Legion to his side in the secure Asteria Wing of the Fortress of?Macragge and with them formed the Ultima Taskforce, a group of warriors capable of going to war with weapons of an arcane nature to counter the potential use of the same by the enemy. There he set them to researching the creatures unleashed by the Word Bearers on Calth. With their combined understanding of the Warp and arcana derived from the forced confessions of XVIIth Legion prisoners, this new taskforce set about their task with determination, developing a methodology of empyrical experimentation.

在馬庫(kù)拉格要塞安全的星彩寶石翼廳中，基里曼秘密地將軍團(tuán)中的十三名高級(jí)智庫(kù)召集到了自己身邊，并和他們一起組建了極限特遣隊(duì)，這群戰(zhàn)士能夠使用奧術(shù)性質(zhì)的武器進(jìn)行戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，這是為了抵抗敵人對(duì)于相同武器的潛在使用?；锫汕菜麄?nèi)フ{(diào)查研究懷言者們?cè)诳妓箲?zhàn)役中放出的那些生物。他們對(duì)亞空間和奧術(shù)的綜合理解源于拷問(wèn)被俘的懷言者軍團(tuán)戰(zhàn)士而得到的供狀，通過(guò)這種方式，這支新的特遣隊(duì)下定決心開(kāi)始他們的任務(wù)，發(fā)展出了一套經(jīng)驗(yàn)實(shí)驗(yàn)的系統(tǒng)方法。

After a spate of esoteric phenomenon caused widespread disorder within the Magna Macragge Civitas, the Ultima Taskforce was moved to a hidden laboratory?on the world of Prandium and given greater resources to pursue their logical goal of weaponising summoned warp entities. The ultimate fate of ?the taskforce would later be suppressed, and is held in another account.

在一連串玄奧現(xiàn)象引發(fā)了大馬庫(kù)拉格城（機(jī)仆：好像就是馬庫(kù)拉格的首府）的廣泛混亂之后，極限特遣隊(duì)被轉(zhuǎn)移到了Prandium 世界上的隱秘實(shí)驗(yàn)室，而且他們被給予了更多資源去追求他們將召喚到的亞空間實(shí)體進(jìn)行武器化的邏輯目標(biāo)。關(guān)于特遣隊(duì)最終命運(yùn)的信息后來(lái)遭到了封禁，內(nèi)容被保存在了另一份記述中。
