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.

從毀滅風(fēng)暴在007.M31早期在全銀河中爆發(fā)，到羅伯特 基里曼于010.M31建立第二帝國的時間中，內(nèi)戰(zhàn)在整個銀河中爆發(fā)。無論是忠誠派還是叛軍，大多數(shù)軍團(tuán)都是由原體親自率領(lǐng)大部分部隊作戰(zhàn)，但他們也都會派出派出小規(guī)模特遣隊到帝國各處執(zhí)行各種任務(wù)。隨著毀滅風(fēng)暴的到來，許多被派遣的部隊迷路、失去聯(lián)系、被孤立或者僅僅是再也沒有被聽說過。在某些情況中，從外界虛空返回的遠(yuǎn)征派遣部隊發(fā)現(xiàn)帝國陷入一片戰(zhàn)火，而他們也無從得知兄弟們的命運，在這個滿是戰(zhàn)爭與混亂的血腥銀河中，環(huán)境迫使他們鑄造出自己的命運并決定自己效忠于誰。

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.

眾多歷史學(xué)家和文書們試圖將主要阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)部隊在這一時期的狀態(tài)和部署情況拼湊成一幅有條理的圖畫。這幅圖畫十有八九是不可能包含全貌的，所以我們的知識也并不完整。

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時候，大部分第一軍團(tuán)部隊在與午夜領(lǐng)主軍團(tuán)交戰(zhàn)，在萊昂于Tsagualsa世界戰(zhàn)勝叛徒原體之后，雄獅向銀河?xùn)|部派出了眾多打擊部隊來獵捕分裂的敵軍部隊。很多部隊都沒有返回，而是在極限星域內(nèi)外執(zhí)行自己的任務(wù)，某些特遣部隊遇到了其他同樣被孤立或與軍團(tuán)失聯(lián)的阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)部隊，他們與其中的某些同舟共濟，與其他的則是拼到你死我活，毀滅風(fēng)暴使他們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.

隨著叛軍向泰拉挺進(jìn)，第三軍團(tuán)的大部分部隊圍繞著他們的旗艦——帝皇之傲號聚集成了一支獨立的艦隊，他們在伊斯特萬五號之后的數(shù)個月中經(jīng)歷了一次痛苦的重生，從優(yōu)雅的阿斯塔特墮落為某種只顧追求自己新近被喚醒的黑暗激情的事物，弗格瑞姆最終將重新控制住他任性的兒子們，他會率領(lǐng)子嗣們進(jìn)行一種探索，后者將會見證他獲得一種全新而令人震驚的存在形式。絕大部分帝皇之子殘軍被命令去追蹤和屠殺所有逃亡的忠誠派。許多帝皇之子軍團(tuán)的執(zhí)政官們都愉快地接受并完成了這項任務(wù)，其中很多人都證明自己非常善于巡捕搜索（自己的堂親兄弟們）。

Iron Warriors?

鋼鐵勇士

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.

在伊斯特萬五號戰(zhàn)役之后，荷魯斯命令佩圖拉博負(fù)責(zé)了一場針對忠誠派關(guān)鍵要塞世界，尤其是太陽星域中那些在他們的前進(jìn)道路上進(jìn)行防御的帝國要塞世界的行星進(jìn)攻戰(zhàn)役，這項任務(wù)在009.M31結(jié)束時便開始進(jìn)行，同時鋼鐵勇士的艦隊依然集中在原體身邊，他們向整個帝國都派出了攻城部隊。

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.

隨著他們碾過了忠誠派的星區(qū)，并在前進(jìn)中奪取了關(guān)鍵的堡壘世界，鋼鐵勇士們也成為了殘暴的霸主，他們在被新近征服的世界上監(jiān)督著叛軍力量的鞏固。因此，他們也經(jīng)常成為阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)孤兒部隊的攻擊目標(biāo)，而他們也變得擅長于反擊這些掠襲。

White Scars?

白色傷疤

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.

因為叛徒阿爾法軍團(tuán)的隱秘，當(dāng)荷魯斯叛亂的種子被播下時，第五軍團(tuán)的絕大部分部隊在Chondax星系被卷入了與歐克獸人之間漫長艱苦的戰(zhàn)爭，而在相當(dāng)長的時間中，白疤原體察合臺可汗的忠誠對象也不得而知。那些在更為遙遠(yuǎn)的戰(zhàn)場上作戰(zhàn)的戰(zhàn)士們不知曉他們原體的意圖，他們被迫自行決定忠誠對象。原體之后將會清洗掉自己軍團(tuán)中那些宣誓效忠荷魯斯的戰(zhàn)士，并且驅(qū)逐了那些準(zhǔn)備做出相同行為的戰(zhàn)士們。后者被命令去進(jìn)行一場近乎自殺的滲透和暗殺戰(zhàn)役，很多支小規(guī)模的“贖罪小隊”被釋放到銀河中去充當(dāng)自主的死亡尋路者。

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.

在對抗千子軍團(tuán)的第一次普羅斯佩羅之戰(zhàn)與之后和阿爾法軍團(tuán)的戰(zhàn)斗中，太空野狼軍團(tuán)遭受了嚴(yán)重?fù)p失，但在荷魯斯叛亂中早期的大多數(shù)時候，他們很大程度上仍然是一支保衛(wèi)泰拉的強大后備力量。不過出于自己的某些原因，黎曼 魯斯在之前派出了許多小規(guī)模分遣隊去監(jiān)視其他軍團(tuán)，這些分遣隊并未被全部算入其中，有些戰(zhàn)士可能是獨自一人或者與其他人組成小團(tuán)隊來執(zhí)行任務(wù)，類似的分遣隊也被切斷了與自己軍團(tuán)指揮鏈之間的聯(lián)系。

Imperial Fists?

帝國之拳

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.

帝國之拳軍團(tuán)的大部分部隊隨同原體駐守在泰拉，他們在修建抵御戰(zhàn)帥那必將到來的入侵的防御工事。不過，在前往法爾星系和從那里返回的航程中，很多人都在亞空間浪潮中迷失或者分散了，這些戰(zhàn)士們與那些和他們境況類似的被孤立星際戰(zhàn)士部隊并肩作戰(zhàn)。其他部隊則是在荷魯斯叛亂之前就被派往帝國廣闊的疆域中進(jìn)行駐軍，而隨著這些世界落入戰(zhàn)帥的“黑暗帝國”之中，這些部隊也進(jìn)行了戰(zhàn)斗撤退。

Night Lord

午夜領(lǐng)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時期中，午夜領(lǐng)主都是一個高度分裂的軍團(tuán)，他們的艦隊在薩拉馬斯遠(yuǎn)征的高潮遭到了黑暗天使的伏擊，他們的原體也被自己兄弟親手所重傷。軍團(tuán)的第一連長賽瓦塔嘗試著控制住軍團(tuán)的核心，但很多獨立的連隊和戰(zhàn)團(tuán)在極限星域中橫沖直撞，在群星間追求著自己浸透鮮血的任務(wù)。直到原體重新將軍團(tuán)統(tǒng)一起來，這些部隊才被聚合成了一個連貫的整體，但即便如此，仍有很多人隱藏于黑暗中，他們習(xí)慣于自己所創(chuàng)造出的黑夜，不愿服從上級指揮官的安排。

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.

在荷魯斯叛亂爆發(fā)時，圣血天使軍團(tuán)的命運無人知曉，直到他們在010.M31回歸之前，情況一直如此。圣血天使被命令在Nartaba星系進(jìn)行集結(jié)，并從那里前往西格納斯主星去鎮(zhèn)壓一場慣犯們引發(fā)的暴動。但有數(shù)千名軍團(tuán)戰(zhàn)士未能到達(dá)那里，有些是作為Lamentii世界的榮譽守衛(wèi)監(jiān)視者寂靜的戰(zhàn)場，而此時軍團(tuán)正在西格納斯主星血戰(zhàn)群魔，其他人則是從未抵達(dá)Nartaba星系，當(dāng)毀滅風(fēng)暴來襲時，他們的艦船在亞空間浪潮中嚴(yán)重偏離，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.

直到后來，第九軍團(tuán)幸存的消息才被過濾出來，而且由于毀滅風(fēng)暴，信息只能非常緩慢地傳播。在大約五年的時間中，很多未能跳躍到到Nartaba星系的迷失和分散的圣血天使部隊有各種理由相信自己成為了孤兒。

Iron Hands?

鋼鐵之手

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.

在伊斯特萬五號遭到背叛的軍團(tuán)中，鋼鐵之手是人數(shù)最多的，在Urgall絕望平原黑色的沙地上，他們失去了原體和讓他們成為“鐵十”的一切，所以他們也是受創(chuàng)最嚴(yán)重的。軍團(tuán)分散為行動隊，許多人和其他軍團(tuán)的分隊合為一體，組成自主的戰(zhàn)爭艦隊，推行著他們自己針對叛軍的戰(zhàn)爭。很多人都加入了沙達(dá)克 美杜森的破碎軍團(tuán)，某些人加入了奧塔克 摩爾的麾下，其他人則在諸如Gagia, Sacrissan和Agromis之類的“復(fù)仇之地”進(jìn)行著自己的救贖戰(zhàn)爭，對他們之前的兄弟們降下血腥的審判。

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.

吞世者軍團(tuán)主力全部被派往遙遠(yuǎn)的銀河?xùn)|部去參加暗影遠(yuǎn)征。第十二軍團(tuán)擁有著諸多封地世界，其中尤為重要的是征兵世界Bodt，安格隆就是在這里接過了軍團(tuán)的指揮權(quán)。很多世界都利用快速催化和灌輸中心來滿足軍團(tuán)對于新兵的無盡需求，而為了控制住他們，軍團(tuán)發(fā)動了一場漫長的暗影戰(zhàn)爭，吞世者們領(lǐng)導(dǎo)著可怕的速生新兵們?nèi)プ帆C和屠殺他們麻煩的敵人。

Ultramarines?

極限戰(zhàn)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.

極限戰(zhàn)士軍團(tuán)主力在考斯進(jìn)行了集結(jié)，在007. M31 和?008.M31的大多數(shù)時候，為了應(yīng)對原體安格隆和珞珈發(fā)動的所謂“暗影遠(yuǎn)征”，第十三軍團(tuán)陷入了一場苦澀的戰(zhàn)爭。不過，也有軍團(tuán)分遣隊駐守在其他地區(qū)，比如莫勒奇這樣的關(guān)鍵世界，也有分隊加入了行商浪人軍事組織的征服者艦隊。當(dāng)懷言者進(jìn)行背刺時，可能有些極限戰(zhàn)士單位尚未抵達(dá)考斯，在與軍團(tuán)的指揮鏈重新建立聯(lián)系之前，他們可能是作為獨立自主的部隊進(jìn)行運作。

Death Guard

死亡守衛(wèi)

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.

死亡守衛(wèi)軍團(tuán)主力隨同荷魯斯之子參與了叛軍的主要攻勢，所以大多數(shù)軍團(tuán)成員緊靠在原體身邊并直接處于原體的指揮下。死亡守衛(wèi)軍團(tuán)與破碎軍團(tuán)的各種分隊發(fā)生了頻繁的沖突，尤其是沙達(dá)克 美杜森那些深入叛軍戰(zhàn)線背后，努力擾亂叛軍對于戰(zhàn)帥黑暗帝國的控制的部隊。某些資料顯示死亡守衛(wèi)軍團(tuán)從主力部隊中分遣出了某些單位，他們的目的是要在某些看似無辜的世界發(fā)動恐怖暴行，以牽制那些在主要戰(zhàn)線大后方活動的忠誠派分隊的進(jìn)攻。死亡守衛(wèi)分隊進(jìn)行了級別空前的毀滅行動，只是為了對付這些相對微小但破壞性極高的敵人。

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.

在整個黑暗年代中，千子軍團(tuán)的主力都迷失在了銀河中，直到某些事情之后他們的命運才為人所知。盡管如此，在如同Prism, Chbal, Logan世界和Yamnan那樣遙遠(yuǎn)的地方，仍然有謠言聲稱有小規(guī)模的千子戰(zhàn)士團(tuán)體在銀河各處作戰(zhàn)，忠誠派和叛軍雙方都有千子部隊參戰(zhàn)，他們通常與其他孤兒部隊共同作戰(zhàn)，包括黑盾戰(zhàn)幫。這些謠言都沒有得到證實，也沒有任何可能會得到證實。

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.

戰(zhàn)帥本人的軍團(tuán)是叛軍挺進(jìn)泰拉征服行動中的主力軍隊，但他們也派出了一些小規(guī)模部隊，通常是隨同帝皇之子分隊去獵殺那些從伊斯特萬五號逃走的四分五裂的忠誠派部隊。第十六軍團(tuán)之后會成為忠誠派破碎軍團(tuán)許多次襲擊的主要目標(biāo)。解決這些襲擊的責(zé)任落到了荷魯斯之子連長提巴爾特 馬爾的肩上——正是他第一個意識到這些襲擊并非是隨意的進(jìn)攻，而是某個復(fù)雜到不可能的戰(zhàn)略的組成部分：破碎軍團(tuán)要在叛軍們抵達(dá)最終目標(biāo)——泰拉之前不斷讓戰(zhàn)帥的軍團(tuán)遭到削弱，直到荷魯斯之子們失去保護(hù)外殼。

Word Bearers

懷言者

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.

第十七軍團(tuán)的主力和吞世者軍團(tuán)共同對極限星域的五百世界發(fā)動了暗影遠(yuǎn)征，直到008.M31后期他們的進(jìn)攻才被回撤。不過也有許多懷言者分遣隊和其他叛徒軍團(tuán)共同作戰(zhàn)，他們通常是為了在關(guān)于深淵（亞空間）的事務(wù)中傳授自己墮落的智慧，所以他們也會出現(xiàn)在負(fù)責(zé)追捕和根除忠誠派破碎軍團(tuán)的叛軍部隊中。這些部隊的形式通常是一名懷言者牧師或惡魔術(shù)士率領(lǐng)著許多軍團(tuán)小隊，他們會與其他叛軍軍團(tuán)部隊共同作戰(zhàn)，支援他們的行動并在與深奧學(xué)識（亞空間知識）有關(guān)的事務(wù)上進(jìn)行建議。

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.

在伊斯特萬五號遭到背叛的三個軍團(tuán)中，火蜥蜴損失最為慘重，他們在很多年里都有各種理由相信自己的原體和鐵手原體共同犧牲在了叛徒手中。許多從伊斯特萬五號奮戰(zhàn)而生的火蜥蜴戰(zhàn)士都回到了夜曲星，而其他很多人則是與鋼鐵之手和暗鴉守衛(wèi)組成聯(lián)軍，這些混合單位在荷魯斯叛亂的大多數(shù)時候都在與叛軍激戰(zhàn)。火蜥蜴原體的命運在很久之后才會被揭曉，而他們需要很多代人之后才能再次進(jìn)行正常運作。

Raven Guard

暗鴉守衛(wèi)

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.

原體克拉克斯從Urgall絕望平原恐怖的背叛中幸存下來，他開始了一個項目：將新兵快速催生后納入到猛禽連隊中，目的是快速增加軍團(tuán)的人數(shù)，但很多猛禽被證明并不穩(wěn)定。第十九軍團(tuán)之后發(fā)起了一場戰(zhàn)役，旨在解放那些其領(lǐng)袖宣布效忠于戰(zhàn)士的世界。但似乎暗鴉守衛(wèi)軍團(tuán)仍有數(shù)十個小型的自主團(tuán)隊在黑暗中活動，他們遵循著“游牧狩獵”的戰(zhàn)爭模式。

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.?

阿爾法軍團(tuán)在黑暗年代大部分時期的行動仍然包裹在迷霧中，不過，他們的行動和運作不會總是被隱藏住，他們的目的明顯也是一樣。在Chondax戰(zhàn)役之后，阿爾法軍團(tuán)的某些分隊似乎負(fù)責(zé)了獵捕忠誠派破碎軍團(tuán)的任務(wù)，而他們也證明自己罕見得擅長于這項任務(wù)。不同于帝皇之子軍團(tuán)負(fù)責(zé)此類任務(wù)的獵殺部隊，阿爾法軍團(tuán)的獵手們采用了狡猾的遠(yuǎn)距離間諜戰(zhàn)術(shù)，在忠誠派當(dāng)中散播虛假消息和混亂，這種做法顯著地促成了叛軍的目標(biāo)。
