The Great Scouring was the Imperium's counter-offensive against the rebel armies of Horus, following the defeat of the Horus Heresy in c.M31. Horus's campaign to strike towards Terra to achieve a quick and decisive victory had ultimately been defeated. The rebels were broken and in retreat, and Imperial forces now had the job of reacquiring all the territory they had captured. The Great Scouring saw the first mass galaxy-wide purge carried out by the Imperium as it sought to erase the taint of Horus's treachery from its realm.
大清洗是帝国在第31个千年击败荷鲁斯叛乱后对荷鲁斯叛军的反攻。荷鲁斯为迅速取得决定性胜利而向泰拉发起的进攻最终被击败。叛军被击溃并撤退，帝国军队现在的任务是夺回他们占领的所有领土。大清洗目睹了帝国进行的第一次大规模银河系净化，因为它试图从其领域中抹去荷鲁斯叛乱的污点。

Overview 概述
Before actually being confined within the Golden Throne, the Emperor had pronounced judgment on the rebels: they were to be driven into the hellish region of the Eye of Terror, which would hold them for all eternity. All records and memory of the Traitor Legions were to be expunged from the Imperial archives. Worlds such as Isstvan V and Davin would be scoured and the Traitors' associated troops were to be destroyed or driven into the Eye. It would be as if the Traitor Legions never existed. Meanwhile since the death of Horus, the Traitor Legions had become splintered and dispersed.
在实际被限制在黄金王座上之前，帝皇已经对叛军做出了判决：他们将被驱逐到恐惧之眼的地狱般的地区，这将永远控制他们。叛徒军团的所有记录和记忆都将从帝国档案中删除。像伊斯塔万五号和戴文这样的世界将被彻底搜查，叛徒的相关部队将被摧毁或驱逐到恐惧之眼。就好像叛徒军团从未存在过。与此同时，自荷鲁斯死亡以来，叛徒军团已经分裂和分散。
Fighting continued for another seven years before the rebels were wholly destroyed or exiled. The Imperium fought not only the traitors but also Xenos that had taken advantage of the turmoil caused by the Heresy to plunder human worlds. Systems once thought unassailable to the Xenos threat were put under siege. During the campaign, loyalist forces realized the sheer scale of Chaos influence in the Imperium as world after world was discovered to have traitor presence. Many corrupted systems were cleansed and placed under the watch of the Inquisition. Horus's death had not ended the fighting, it had renewed the loyalists against the rebels. Many worlds during the Heresy had refused to commit their forces to either side, or seceded entirely. Such indecision was punished by loyalist and rebel alike. These forces were bled white attacking rebel strongholds. Meanwhile, the Legions destroyed at the Drop Site Massacre were slowly reestablished using what little gene-seed the survivors had managed to escape with.
战斗又持续了七年，叛军才被彻底摧毁或放逐。帝国不仅与叛徒作战，还与利用叛乱造成的动荡掠夺人类世界的异型作战。曾经被认为对异型威胁无懈可击的星系被围困。在这场战役中，随着一个又一个世界被发现有叛徒的存在，忠诚的部队意识到了混沌在帝国中的巨大影响力。许多腐败的星系被清洗并置于审判庭的监视之下。荷鲁斯的死并没有结束战斗，它重新激起了反对叛军的忠诚者。叛乱时期的许多世界拒绝向任何一方派遣军队，或者完全脱离。这种优柔寡断受到了忠诚者和叛乱者的惩罚。这些部队在进攻叛军据点时流血牺牲。与此同时，在登陆点大屠杀中被摧毁的军团正利用设法逃脱的幸存者的一点基因种子慢慢重建。
With the Emperor confined to the Golden Throne and the Imperium leaderless but loosely organized under Roboute Guilliman, the forces of Chaos and all of the enemies of the Imperium swept down on the defenceless worlds which had been ravaged by the fighting during the Heresy. The light of the Great Crusade was gone to be replaced by a dark time in which death was far more prevalent and hope seemed far away. The forces of the Imperium were reorganised and redeployed and gradually the followers of Chaos were forced to flee west to the Eye of Terror. Eventually the Imperium succeeded in stabilising itself, but not without heavy losses of men and machinery.
由于帝皇被限制在黄金王座上，帝国在罗伯特·基里曼的领导下，但组织松散，混沌的力量和帝国的所有敌人席卷了被叛乱战争蹂躏的手无寸铁的世界。大远征的光芒消失了，取而代之的是一个黑暗的时代，在这个时代，死亡更加普遍，希望似乎遥不可及。帝国的军队被重组和重新部署，混沌的追随者逐渐被迫向西逃往恐惧之眼。最终，帝国成功地实现了稳定，但并非没有大量人员和机械的损失。
The Ultramarines were a major factor in the success of the Imperium owing to their not taking part in the Siege of Terra due to fighting in the galactic east. Roboute Guilliman was the greatest military strategist alive and rallied the other Space Marine Legions to act as a bulwark against all enemies of the Imperium. The days following the Heresy were to be some of the darkest seen since the Emperor rose to power. Guilliman was said to have been everywhere during this period, rallying forces and reinforcing them with his Ultramarines before moving on to the next battle zone. Never once did the Space Marines take a step back, so strong was their faith in the Imperium and Guilliman's tactics.
由于银河系东部的战斗，极限战士没有参加泰拉围城，因此他们是帝国成功的主要因素。罗伯特·基里曼是现存最伟大的军事战略家，他召集了其他星际战士军团，作为抵御帝国所有敌人的堡垒。叛乱之后的日子是帝皇掌权以来最黑暗的日子。据说基里曼在这段时间里无处不在，在前往下一个战区之前，他召集部队并用他的极限战士增援。星际战士从未后退一步，他们对帝国和基里曼战术的信心如此之强。
During the Scouring, great political changes were introduced into the Imperium, primarily overseen by Guilliman. The most significant of these was breaking apart the Space Marine Legions into Chapters as well as dividing the Imperial Army into the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy. Both of these measures were intended to curb the power that any single man could wield in the Imperium, limiting the damage if another rebellion broke out.
在大清洗期间，帝国发生了巨大的政治变革，主要由基里曼监督。其中最重要的是将星际战士分为战团，并将帝国陆军分为帝国卫队和帝国海军。这两项措施都是为了遏制任何一个人在帝国中可以行使的权力，限制另一场叛乱爆发时的损害。
The Great Scouring was followed by the period known as the Age of Rebirth.
大清洗之后是被称为重生时代的时期。
