The Vengeful Spirit is a Gloriana Class Battleship that served as the flagship of the Warmaster Horus during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. Today, it serves as the flagship of Abaddon the Despoiler and the Black Legion.

复仇之魂号是一艘荣光女王级战列舰，在大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间曾是战帅荷鲁斯的旗舰。如今，它是掠夺者阿巴顿和黑色军团的旗舰。

The Vengeful Spirit during the Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱期间的复仇之魂号

Overview 概述

Great Crusade & Horus Heresy 大远征&荷鲁斯叛乱

The Vengeful Spirit is an ancient vessel, constructed in the 30th Millennium by the artisans of Mars. The Vengeful Spirit was one of the largest of the Gloriana-class command vessels alongside the Hrafnkel, Conqueror, and Iron Blood. Heavily armed, the Vengeful Spirit gained a formidable reputation during the Great Crusade as the command ship of Primarch and later Imperial Warmaster Horus Lupercal. The mere arrival of the Vengeful Spirit would often result in the surrender of an entire star system.

复仇之魂号是一艘古老的船只，由火星的工匠在第30个千年建造。复仇之魂号是荣光女王级指挥舰中最大的一艘，与赫拉芬克尔号、征服者号和铁血号并列。全副武装的复仇之魂号在大远征期间获得了令人敬畏的声誉，成为原体和后来的帝国战帅荷鲁斯·卢佩卡尔的指挥舰。复仇之魂号的到来往往会导致整个星系的投降。

From the strategium, and later Lupercal's Court, upon the command deck, Horus would coordinate the military and diplomatic efforts of the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet, and countless thousands of personnel lived and worked on board. Additionally because it was so old the core of the ship was a rotting, empty labyrinth of filth and rats. Over time as the Sons of Horus became corrupted during the Horus Heresy, it became less of a warship and more of a temple to the dark gods of Chaos whom Horus came to revere. By this time, Horus' throneroom Lupercal's Court existed within its own Warp Pocket Dimension inside the ship, and inside this lair Horus, often accompanied by Zardu Layak, spent much of his time comatose as his spirit walked the Empyrean.

从战略室到后来的卢佩卡尔王庭，在指挥甲板上，荷鲁斯将协调第63远征舰队的军事和外交努力，无数人员在船上生活和工作。此外，由于它太旧了，船的核心是一个腐烂的、空荡荡的污秽和老鼠迷宫。随着时间的推移，荷鲁斯之子在荷鲁斯叛乱期间变得腐败，它不再是一艘战舰，而更多地成为了荷鲁斯所崇拜的混沌黑暗诸神的神殿。到这个时候，荷鲁斯的休息室卢佩卡尔王庭已经存在于飞船内自己的亚空间口袋维度内，在这个巢穴里，荷鲁斯经常在扎杜·拉亚克的陪伴下，大部分时间都处于昏迷状态，因为他的灵魂在至高天中行走。

During the final hours of the Siege of Terra, the Vengeful Spirit had essentially become an extension of Horus' will. So corrupted had the vessel become that it was now acting as a conduit to drag Terra itself into the Warp. Horus' psychic connection to the ship allowed him to lower its shields with a thought to bait the Emperor to him before Roboute Guilliman's fleet could arrive. Thus, when the Emperor led a teleportation assault on the Vengeful Spirit the attackers became scattered throughout the vessel and fell prey to many of the daemonic and surreal traps Horus had prepared. The final battle between Horus and the Emperor took place aboard the Vengeful Spirit, ending in Horus' death and the Emperor's grievous wounding.

在泰拉围城的最后几个小时里，复仇之魂号基本上已经成为荷鲁斯意志的延伸。这艘船已经变得如此腐败，以至于它现在充当了将泰拉本身拖入亚空间的管道。荷鲁斯与这艘船的灵能联系使他能够放下护盾，想在罗伯特·基里曼的舰队到达之前引诱帝皇。因此，当帝皇对复仇之魂号发起传送攻击时，攻击者分散在船上，成为荷鲁斯准备的许多恶魔和超现实陷阱的牺牲品。荷鲁斯和帝皇之间的最后一场战斗发生在复仇之魂号上，以荷鲁斯的死亡和帝皇的重伤告终。

After Horus' death, sanity returned to the Vengeful Spirit and the metaphysical realm which acted as an extension of Horus dissipated. The Spirit became just a ship once more, albeit one forever touched by Chaos. Ezekyle Abaddon was able to reestablish control over the vessel to lead a retreat from the Sol System.

荷鲁斯死后，复仇之魂号恢复了理智，作为荷鲁斯延伸的形而上学领域也消散了。复仇之魂号再次变成了一艘船，尽管它永远被混沌所触碰。以泽凯尔·阿巴顿能够重新控制这艘船，从而从太阳系撤退。

Post-Heresy 叛乱后

Following death of Horus and the defeat of the traitors in The Scouring, the Vengeful Spirit fell under the control First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon. Somehow, the vessel became embedded under the former Eldar world of Asa'ciaral deep within the Eye of Terror. With the Sons of Horus in disarray after the fall of Maleum, an expedition led by Falkus Kibre, Iskandar Khayon, and others eventually managed to find both Abaddon and the Vengeful Spirit. Commanding a fleet once again, Abaddon used the vessel to crush the Emperor's Children and their clone of Horus on Harmony. Shortly before the battle, Iskandar Khayon's preserved sister, now known as the Anamnesis, combined with the Machine Spirit of the Vengeful Spirit, allowing the vessel to operate with minimal crew.

荷鲁斯死后，大清洗击败了叛徒，复仇之魂号落入了第一连长以泽凯尔·阿巴顿的控制之下。不知怎么的，这艘船被嵌入了恐惧之眼深处的前灵族世界阿萨’恰拉尔。马勒姆陷落后，荷鲁斯之子陷入混乱，由法库斯·凯博、伊斯坎达尔·卡扬和其他人率领的探险队最终设法找到了阿巴顿和复仇之魂号。阿巴顿再次指挥舰队，用这艘船粉碎了帝皇之子和他们在和谐星上克隆的荷鲁斯。在战斗前不久，伊斯坎达尔·卡扬保存下来的妹妹，现在被称为记忆体，与复仇之魂号的机魂相结合，使该船能够以最少的船员运行。

Following the Battle of Harmony, Abaddon resumed command of the Sons of Horus. The Vengeful Spirit became the flagship of the newly christened Black Legion, a role it continues to this day. The Vengeful Spirit is known to have appeared in the 10th 12th and 13th Black Crusades. During the battle above Cadia in the 13th Black Crusade, the Vengeful Spirit was damaged as it was overwhelmed by Imperial Navy battlegroups, but before it could be finished off retreated with the rest of the Black Legion fleet as a Blackstone Fortress was dropped on the planet.

和谐星之战后，阿巴顿恢复了对荷鲁斯之子的指挥。复仇之魂号成为新命名的黑色军团的旗舰，这一角色一直延续到今天。众所周知，复仇之魂号出现在第10、12和13次黑色远征中。在第13次黑色远征卡迪亚上空的战斗中，复仇之魂号被帝国海军战斗群击溃而受损，但在它被摧毁之前，随着黑石要塞被扔到星球上，它与黑色军团舰队的其他成员一起撤退了。

The Vengeful Spirit later reappeared at the head of the massive Chaos armada that invaded Vigilus. Blasting aside all opposition, it went into orbit above the world and was the primary Black Legion command centers. During the climax of the war as Abaddon engaged Marneus Calgar in a duel, the remaining Imperial vessels launched a last-ditch assault on the orbiting Vengeful Spirit. Though 80% of the Imperial ships were lost, Calgar's plan succeeded when he had the allied Eldar stealth vessel Vaul's Ghost collide with the Vengeful Spirit. The Eldar ship detonated a cache of Imperial Deathstrike Missiles, blowing a hole in the Vengeful Spirit and causing catastrophic damage. Facing destruction, the Vengeful Spirit was forced into an emergency Warp Jump. Faced with the prospect of losing his prized flagship and key symbol of authority, Abaddon was forced to withdraw from Vigilus to reach the Vengeful Spirit before it made its Warp transition.

复仇之魂号后来再次出现在入侵警戒星的庞大混沌舰队之中。抛开所有抵抗，它进入了世界上空的轨道，是黑色军团的主要指挥中心。在战争最激烈的时候，阿巴顿与马涅乌斯·卡尔加决斗，剩下的帝国船只对轨道上的复仇之魂号发动了最后一搏。尽管80%的帝国船只都失败了，但卡尔加的计划成功了，他让灵族盟军隐形战舰瓦尔幽魂号与复仇之魂号相撞。灵族飞船引爆了帝国死亡直击导弹的藏匿处，在复仇之魂号上炸了一个洞，造成了灾难性的破坏。面对毁灭，复仇之魂号被迫进行紧急亚空间跳跃。面对失去他珍贵的旗舰和权威的关键象征的前景，阿巴顿被迫从警戒星撤军，在复仇之魂号进行亚空间转移之前到达那里。

Later, the still-repairing Vengeful Spirit was the site of the first meeting between Abaddon and Vashtorr, who hacked into its systems to manifest aboard the flagship. It was subsequently again utilized by Abaddon as his flagship during the Arks of Omen Campaign. The vessel led Black Legion actions at both Magdalor and Idolatros.

后来，仍在维修中的复仇之魂号是阿巴顿和瓦什托尔第一次会面的地点，他们入侵了其系统，在旗舰上现身。随后，阿巴顿在噩兆方舟战役中再次将其用作旗舰。该船在马格达洛和盲信星领导了黑色军团的行动。
