The planet of Isstvan V is widely known for the infamous Drop Site Massacre.

伊斯塔万五号星球因臭名昭著的登陆点大屠杀而广为人知。

History 历史

Isstvan V was the site of the near demise of the Iron Hands, Salamanders and Raven Guard loyalist Space Marine Legions following a trap set by Horus. The plan essentially consisted of opposing the loyalist marines with the openly traitorous legions the Sons of Horus, World Eaters, Death Guard and Emperor's Children; followed by having the Night Lords, Iron Warriors, Word Bearers and Alpha Legion, who were believed to be loyal but were actually pledged to Horus, stab the loyalists in the back. It resulted in the almost complete annihilation of the three loyalist legions, with only a few battle brothers escaping alive, and left the Imperium severely weakened in the face of Horus' onslaught.

伊斯塔万五号是钢铁之手、火蜥蜴和暗鸦守卫忠诚派星际战士在荷鲁斯设下陷阱后险些灭亡的地方。该计划主要包括用公开叛变的军团——荷鲁斯之子、吞世者、死亡守卫和帝皇之子—来对抗忠诚派战士；随后，午夜领主、钢铁勇士、怀言者和阿尔法军团，他们被认为是忠诚派，但实际上承诺了荷鲁斯，在背后捅了忠诚派一刀。这导致了三个忠诚派军团几乎完全被消灭，只有少数战斗兄弟幸存下来，并使帝国在荷鲁斯的猛攻下严重削弱。

At the start of the Horus Heresy, Warmaster Horus apparently only had three other Primarchs and their respective Legions at his side. Under his command were his own Sons of Horus, joined by Angron and his World Eaters, Fulgrim with his Emperor's Children, and Mortarion and the Death Guard. After ridding himself of all suspected Loyalist members inside the three Legions at Isstvan III, he choose Isstvan V as his command post and prepared a deadly trap for his former brothers and their Legions. The Emperor ordered the deployment of seven full Space Marine Legions against him, agonizing over the betrayal of his most beloved son. Unknown to the Emperor of Mankind, four of the deployed Primarchs and their Legions had already turned against him, forming a "fifth column" which would strike against the Loyalists at the most decisive moment.

在荷鲁斯叛乱开始时，战帅荷鲁斯显然只有另外三位原体和他们各自的军团在他身边。在他的指挥下，有他自己的荷鲁斯之子，还有安格隆和他的吞世者，福格瑞姆和他的帝皇之子，以及莫塔里安和死亡守卫。在清除了伊斯塔万三号三个军团中所有疑似忠诚派成员后，他选择伊斯塔万五号作为他的指挥部，并为他的前兄弟和他们的军团准备了一个致命的陷阱。帝皇下令部署七支完整的星际战士军团来对付他，对他最心爱的儿子的背叛感到痛苦。人类帝皇不知道的是，部署的四名原体及其军团已经转而反对他，组成了一支“第五纵队”，将在最关键的时刻打击忠诚派。

Prior to the landing of the planet, Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children built fortifications and trenches, able to protect the traitor legions from orbital bombardment. The initial naval operations seemed to go well for the Loyalist side. The Imperial Navy managed to gain orbit over Isstvan V and the Legions proceeded with their planetary deployment. Thousands of Drop Pods and Stormbirds were deployed for the drop. The first wave was under the overall command of Ferrus Manus and besides his own Legion, the Iron Hands, the Loyalist forces included the Salamanders led by Vulkan, and the Raven Guard under Corax. Vulkan's Legion hit the left side of the traitors, Ferrus Manus, Gabriel Santar, and 10 full companies of Morlock Terminators went straight to the middle, and Corax's Legion hit the right side of the enemy position. They landed right into a bloodbath. The odds were considered equal: 30,000 traitors against 40,000 loyalists. Horus was aware of the chosen drop site and his troops fell upon the surprised Legions. Ferrus Manus engaged Fulgrim in a ferocious duel, but ultimately failed and was defeated. The Loyalists retreated towards the apparent safety of their brothers of the second wave.

在行球登陆之前，福格瑞姆和帝皇之子建造了防御工事和战壕，能够保护叛徒军团免受轨道轰炸。最初的海军行动似乎对忠诚派来说进展顺利。帝国海军设法在伊斯塔万五号上空进入轨道，军团继续进行行星部署。数千个空投舱和风暴鸟被部署用于空投。第一波由费鲁斯·马努斯全面指挥，除了他自己的军团钢铁之手外，忠诚派部队还包括沃坎领导的火蜥蜴和科拉克斯领导的暗鸦守卫。沃坎的军团击中了叛徒的左侧，费鲁斯·马努斯、加百列·桑塔尔，10个完整的莫洛克终结者连队直接进入了中间，而科拉克斯的军团则击中了敌人阵地的右侧。他们直接陷入了血战。可能性被认为是相等的：30000名叛徒对40000名忠诚者。荷鲁斯知道选定的空投地点，他的部队向惊讶的军团扑去。费鲁斯·马努斯与福格瑞姆进行了一场激烈的决斗，但最终失败并被击败。忠诚派撤退到第二波兄弟的明显安全地带。

The Legions of the second wave were no longer loyal to the Emperor. The Night Lords of Konrad Curze, the Iron Warriors of Perturabo, the Word Bearers of Lorgar, and the Alpha Legion of Alpharius fell upon their unsuspecting brothers and the ensuing slaughter is widely known as the Drop Site Massacre. A phrase from the Warmaster himself can easily summarise the whole battle: "When the traitor's hand strikes, it strikes with the strength of a Legion."

第二波军团不再忠于帝皇。康拉德·科兹的午夜领主、佩图拉博的钢铁勇士、珞珈的怀言者和阿尔法瑞斯的阿尔法军团袭击了他们毫无戒心的兄弟，随后的屠杀被广泛称为登陆点大屠杀。战帅本人的一句话可以很容易地概括整个战斗：“当叛徒之手发动攻击时，它会以一整个军团的力量发动攻击。”

After the battle, the head of Ferrus Manus was delivered by Fulgrim to Horus as a trophy. Only a few Loyalist Space Marines, bearing the gene-seed of their fallen brothers and carrying the critically wounded Corax, managed to escape. A loyal Primarch had fallen in battle, another was severely wounded, and a third was missing in action. Vulkan was missing, and how he ultimately managed to survive and to escape is quite unclear. It was disastrous news for the Emperor and the Imperium.

战斗结束后，费鲁斯·马努斯的首级被福格瑞姆作为战利品交给荷鲁斯。只有少数忠诚的星际战士携带着他们死去兄弟的基因种子，并携带着重伤的科拉克斯，设法逃脱了。一位忠诚的原体在战斗中倒下，另一位受重伤，第三位在战斗中失踪。沃坎失踪了，他最终是如何幸存下来并逃脱的尚不清楚。这对帝皇和帝国来说是个灾难性的消息。

Due to the developments at Prospero the rebellion would be further strengthened by Magnus the Red and his Legion, the Thousand Sons, servants of Tzeentch. Horus had nine Space Marine Legions and had all but destroyed three loyal ones. The way to Terra was wide open, and the Battle of Terra would follow.

由于普罗斯佩罗的事态发展，赤红之马格努斯和他的军团、千子军团、奸奇的仆人将进一步加强叛乱。荷鲁斯有九个星际战士军团，几乎摧毁了三个忠诚的军团。通往泰拉的道路是敞开的，泰拉之战也将随之而来。

During a later date the Second Pacification of Isstvan V happened, in which the Desert Lions Chapter, accompanied by an attached cohort of Legio Cybernetica robots, attacked on the planet's defence forts. The chapter was preceded by the cohort, which had been programmed to advance on the defences in an apparently mindless fashion. Easily destroyed by the defenders, they succeeded in mapping out the defenders' fire-plans and blind spots. When the Desert Lions launched their attack only seven Marines were lost. All surviving robots of the cohort were inducted into the chapter as honourary members as a mark of respect.

在后来的日子里，第二次伊斯塔万五号平定发生了，沙漠狮战团在一组附属的智控军团机兵的陪同下，袭击了行星的防御堡垒。该战团前方的大队被编程为以一种明显无意识的方式推进防御。他们很容易被守军摧毁，成功地绘制出了守军的火力计划和盲点。当沙漠狮发动进攻时，只有七名战士阵亡。作为尊重的标志，该大队中所有幸存的机兵都作为荣誉成员被纳入战团。
