Imperium Nihilus, located north of the Great Rift 帝国暗面，位于大裂隙以北
Overview 概述
The Dark Imperium is a region of space that became isolated from the greater Imperium, now known as the Imperium Sanctus, due to the formation of the Great Rift at the end of the Thirteenth Black Crusade. The "Dark Imperium" is aptly named, for here the light of the Astronomican is obscured, travel is extremely dangerous, astropathic communication is difficult, and many enemies of Humanity besiege its remaining isolated worlds. Though Imperium Sanctus suffers from a myriad of problems and threats, they pale in comparison to those of Imperium Nihilus.Chaos fleets and warbands in particular reave with near-impunity, new Daemon Worlds allow for Daemonic armies to roam freely, and many of the isolated Imperial worlds in this blighted region believe themselves the last outpost of mankind. Many of these worlds have essentially seceded from Imperial rule, establishing themselves as petty kingdoms. It is not uncommon for these small palatinates to fall under the sway of Chaos armies. It is doubtful that even Abaddon himself is aware of every such sovereign empire spreading beyond the influence of the Imperium, though rumors are abound that he is guiding them.
黑暗帝国是一个空间区域，由于第十三次黑色远征结束时大裂隙的形成，它与现在被称为帝国圣疆的更大帝国隔离开来。“黑暗帝国”的名字很贴切，因为在这里，星炬的光芒被遮蔽，航行极其危险，星语的交流困难，许多人类之敌包围了它剩下的孤立世界。尽管帝国圣疆遭受着无数的问题和威胁，但与帝国暗面相比，它们显得苍白无力。特别是混沌的舰队和战帮几乎不受惩罚地生存，新的恶魔世界允许恶魔军队自由漫游，这个荒凉地区的许多孤立的帝国世界认为自己是人类最后的前哨。这些世界中的许多基本上已经脱离了帝国统治，建立了自己的小型王国。这些小领地落入混沌军队的控制之下并不罕见。令人怀疑的是，即使是阿巴顿本人也不知道每一个这样的主权帝国都在帝国的影响之外扩张，尽管有很多谣言说他正在指导他们。
Travel across the Great Rift to the Dark Imperium is said to be difficult to nigh-impossible. A stable route, known as the Nachmund Gauntlet was eventually discovered and is now one of the most strategically vital regions of the Galaxy. Until the Indomitus Crusade, it was not even clear to the Imperium if anything remained alive on the other side of the Rift. Lord Commander Roboute Guilliman has declared one of the aims of the Indomitus Crusade to be the liberation of the stranded worlds within Imperium Nihilus.
穿越大裂隙前往黑暗帝国据说是困难的，几乎是不可能的。最终发现了一条被称为纳克蒙德走廊的稳定路线，现在是银河系最具战略意义的地区之一。在不屈远征之前，帝国甚至不清楚裂隙另一边是否还有活着的东西。领主指挥官罗伯特·基里曼宣布，不屈远征的目标之一是解放帝国暗面内被困的世界。
The current Regent of Imperium Nihilus as declared by Guilliman himself is Blood Angels Chapter Master Dante. He is currently seeking to transform Baal into the acting capital of Imperium Nihilus.
基里曼本人宣布的现任帝国暗面摄政是圣血天使战团长但丁。他目前正试图将巴尔改造成帝国暗面的代理首都。
