"Your empire is on its knees. We shall be its death."
“你的帝国已经屈服了。我们将成为它的死亡。”
The Beast was one of the most powerful Ork Warbosses to have ever lived. In 544.M32 he united much of the Ork race and nearly succeeded in conquering the Galaxy. His Waaagh! was the largest the Galaxy has ever seen and rampaged across the Imperium, eclipsing even the one Horus defeated during the Ullanor Crusade which earned him the title of Warmaster. The Beast was a highly intelligent Ork, capable of speaking flawless Gothic. Embittered by the humiliation of the Ork race during the Ullanor Crusade, he intended to cripple humanity and rule the galaxy. The Imperium only halted his advance at great cost and desperate measure, devastating the Adeptus Astartes.
野兽是有史以来最强大的欧克战争头目之一。在544.M32,他团结了欧克种族的大部分,几乎成功征服了银河系。他的Waaagh!这是银河系有史以来最大的一次,在帝国中横冲直撞,甚至超过了在乌兰诺远征中被荷鲁斯击败的,这为他赢得了战帅的称号。野兽是一个非常聪明的欧克,能够说一口完美的哥特语。在乌兰诺远征期间,欧克种族的耻辱让他感到痛苦,他打算削弱人类并统治银河系。帝国以巨大的代价和绝望的手段阻止了他的前进,几乎摧毁了阿斯塔特修会。
It was eventually concluded that there was not a single Warboss known as The Beast. Rather, they were a collection of six "Prime-Orks", monstrously powerful and intelligent Warbosses who each commanded a "Legion" (possibly Clan) of Greenskins. However, the Prime-Ork the Imperium encountered most was larger than the others, nicknamed the "Beast of Beasts".
最终得出的结论是,没有一个被称为野兽的战争头目。相反,他们是六个“兽人之首”的集合,他们是极其强大和聪明的战争头目,每个人都指挥着一个绿皮的“军团”(可能是氏族)。然而,帝国遇到的欧克之首比其他人都大,绰号“野兽中的野兽”。
In transmissions intercepted by the Imperial military, the warboss referred to himself in Orkish terms that defied exact translation into High Gothic, but roughly equivalent to "beast", "I am slaughter", or "lord who will bring great slaughter."
在帝国军队截获的传输中,这位军阀用欧克语称呼自己,这无法用高哥特语来准确翻译,但大致相当于“野兽”、“我是屠杀者”或“将带来大屠杀的领主”
The Beast-class Prime Orks were perhaps the largest Ork Warbosses ever encountered, which in Ork society denoted his power, prestige, and lethality. In a transmission, he was estimated to be the size of a hab-block; The Beast made even Nobs appear as mere children in his presence and his mouth was filled with tusks the size of tree trunks.
野兽级的欧克之首可能是有史以来遇到的最大的欧克战争头目,这在欧克社会中象征着他的力量、声望和杀伤力。在一次传输中,他被估计有一个住宅那么大;野兽甚至让老大在他面前看起来都只是孩子,嘴里塞满了树干大小的獠牙。
Beast of Beasts 野兽中的野兽
When one was finally encountered on Ullanor, The Beast was at first thought to be a statue. However, when the statue moved the Imperial invaders realized he was in fact a massive Ork, at least ten meters tall and encased inside battle armor.
当最终在乌兰诺上遇到野兽时,人们起初认为它是一尊雕像。然而,当雕像移动时,帝国入侵者意识到他实际上是一个巨大的欧克,至少有十米高,被包裹在战斗盔甲里。
This Ork was larger than the other "lesser" Beasts. His armor and throne were adorned with black-and-white check marks; his helmet was horned, with a snarling ork face that covered his own, and adorned with rubies.
这只欧克比其他“较小”的野兽大。他的盔甲和宝座上装饰着黑白相间的格子标记;他的头盔有角,戴着一张咆哮的欧克脸,遮住了自己的脸,还镶着红宝石。
Lesser Beasts 小野兽
Another one of the "Prime Orks" encountered by Imperial forces of Ullanor was said to be the size of a small Gargant. A single arm of his massive battle armour was equipped with two Battle Cannons as well as Autocannons, Missile Launchers, Flamers, and other weapons. His other arm wielded a Vibro-Mace as tall as a Space Marine. He wore patchwork armour and blue face-tattos, and was accompanied by a court of massive orks with death's head symbols.
据说,乌兰诺的帝国军队遇到的另一个“欧克之首”的体型与一只小型加冈特相当。他巨大的战斗装甲的单臂配备了两门战斗炮以及自动炮、导弹发射器、火焰枪和其他武器。他的另一只手臂挥舞着一把像星际战士一样高的振动杖。他身穿拼接盔甲和蓝色面纹,身边跟着一群数量庞大、带有死亡之首标志的欧克·。
Other Orks of this size, speculated to be "lesser Beasts", were briefly seen exploding in the psychic shockwave that destroyed the orks of Ullanor. Since there were six thrones in the Beast's throne-room, each associated with a different symbol, it was speculated that they were "Prime-Orks" that each founded a legion among Waaagh! The Beast.
其他这种体型的欧克,被推测为“小野兽”,在摧毁乌兰诺的欧克的灵能冲击波中,他们被短暂地看到爆炸。由于野兽的王座厅里有六个王座,每个王座都与一个不同的符号相关联,因此推测他们是“欧克之首”,每个人都在野兽的Waaagh!建立了一个军团。
Believed to have originated on Ullanor, The Beast first appeared at the head of an unprecedentedly massive Waaagh! in Segmentum Solar. After destroying the world of Ardamantua and nearly the entire Imperial Fists Chapter with his Attack Moon. After the destruction of Ardamantua, the Beast initiated his great push across Segmentum Solar, killing billions of Imperials and overrunning entire Sectors. The Beast's Waaagh! field was so powerful that it influenced the Orks under his control to grow far larger and become even more aggressive than usual.
据信起源于乌兰诺,野兽首次出现在太阳星域前所未有的巨大Waaagh!之首。在用他的攻击月亮摧毁了阿达曼图阿世界和几乎整个帝国之拳战团之后。在阿达曼图阿被摧毁后,野兽开始了他对太阳星域的大推进,杀死了数十亿帝国人,并占领了整个星区。野兽的Waaagh!立场是如此强大,以至于它影响了他控制下的欧克,使他们变得比平时更大,更具侵略性。
Despite losing an Attack Moon during the Battle for Port Sanctus, the Beast was able to successfully position another directly over Terra. As the galaxy burned, Imperial forces sought out the Beast's homeworld, which was believed to be Ullanor. The Imperials under the returned Vulkan eventually led a massive invasion of Ullanor in a final gamble to slay the Beast, who revealed his strategic cunning by drawing the invaders into urban kill-zones as opposed to confronting them directly. The Beast intended to delay the Imperials on Ullanor long enough until the converted "attack planet" could teleport to Terra using the Attack Moon still in its orbit and wipe out the throneworld once and for all. However Vulkan was able to lead an Astartes strike directly into the part-palace part-Gargant of the Beast in his capital of Gorkogrod and confront the creature directly. As per Vulkan's wishes Lord Commander Koorland evacuated his forces from the temple and allowed the Primarch to fight The Beast directly. During their duel, The Beast revealed he spoke perfect Imperial Gothic, gloating that humanity was on its knees and he would be its end. Vulkan tackled the Warboss and they both fell into the temple-gargants power generator, where the Primarch became imbued with massive amounts of Waaagh! energies. Rather than be consumed by the energies as so many other men had, Vulkan used his primal and savage essence to become one with it and launch one last attack. He slammed Doomtremor into The Beast's face and detonated the generator, causing a chain reaction that shattered the temple-gargant and seemingly obliterating them both.
尽管在圣港战役中失去了一个攻击月亮,但野兽还是成功地将另一个攻击月亮直接放置在泰拉上方。随着银河系的燃烧,帝国军队找到了野兽的家园,据信是乌兰诺。在返回的沃坎领导下的帝国最终领导了对乌兰诺的大规模入侵,这是杀死野兽的最后一场赌博,野兽通过将入侵者吸引到城市杀戮区而不是直接对抗他们,展示了他的战略狡猾。野兽打算拖延帝国在乌兰诺的时间足够长,直到转化后的“攻击行星”可以使用仍在其轨道上的攻击月亮传送到泰拉,并一劳永逸地毁灭王座世界。然而,沃坎能够带领阿斯塔特直接向其首都戈尔科格罗德的野兽的半宫殿半加冈特发起攻击,并直接对抗该生物。根据沃坎的意愿,领主指挥官库兰德将他的部队从神殿撤离,并允许原体直接与野兽作战。在决斗中,野兽透露他说的是完美的帝国哥特语,幸灾乐祸地说人类已经跪下,他将成为人类的终结。沃坎抓住了战争头目,两人都掉进了神殿的巨型能量发生器里,在那里,原体被大量的Waaagh!能量灌输。沃坎没有像其他许多人那样被能量消耗,而是利用他原始而野蛮的本质与之融为一体,发动了最后一次攻击。他猛烈地将毁灭震颤砸向野兽的脸,并引爆了发生器,引发了连锁反应,粉碎了神殿加冈特,似乎将它们都消灭了。
However it soon became apparent that The Beast had somehow survived his encounter with Vulkan. He announced his presence on the Attack Moon over Terra. Koorland then launched a new plan to try and slay the Beast using a captured Ork Psyker and Sisters of Silence to create a devastating "reverse-Waaagh!" effect. In the second invasion of Ullanor, The Beast was seemingly killed by the ritual after an execution force led by Koorland again reached his palace. However shortly after his death, another, even larger Ork Warboss appeared and it became apparent that there were in fact six "Beasts", each a Prime-Ork commanding his own "Legion". This newly appeared Warboss was identified as the same that had fought Vulkan and killed Koorland.
然而,很快就很明显,野兽在与沃坎的遭遇中幸存了下来。他宣布自己出现在泰拉上空的攻击月亮上。库兰德随后启动了一项新计划,试图使用捕获的欧克灵能者和寂静修女杀死野兽,以创造毁灭性的“反向Waaagh!”效果。在第二次入侵乌兰诺时,库兰德率领的执行部队再次抵达他的宫殿后,野兽似乎被仪式杀死了。然而,在他死亡后不久,另一个更大的欧克战争头目出现了,很明显,实际上有六只“野兽”,每只都是一只欧克之首,指挥着自己的“军团”。这个新出现的战争头目被确定为与沃坎作战并杀死库兰德的人。
After the death of Koorland, Maximus Thane, Chapter Master of the Fists Exemplar, rebuilt the Imperial Fists using portions of Battle-Brothers from each Chapter of the Last Wall. This force led a third push on Ullanor. In the third battle for the planet, Thane and his entourage again attempted to use a captured Ork Psyker in conjunction with a ritual by the Sisters of Silence to slay the Beast. During the battle, the assassination team encountered one of the Prime Orks, which was speculated to be the "Beast of Beasts". As it was about to wipe out the Imperial invaders, the Beast's head exploded due to the psychic ritual. The remaining Beast-class Orks and the majority of Greenskins on Ullanor died with him.
库兰德死后,典范之拳战团长马克西姆斯·塞恩使用最终高墙的每个战团的战斗兄弟的一部分重建了帝国之拳。这支部队对乌兰诺发起了第三次进攻。在第三次争夺行星的战斗中,塞恩和他的随从再次试图使用一个捕获的欧克灵能者,配合寂静修女的仪式来杀死野兽。在战斗中,刺杀小队遇到了一只被推测为“野兽中的野兽”的欧克之首。当它即将消灭帝国侵略者时,由于灵能仪式,野兽的头爆炸了。剩下的野兽级欧克和乌兰诺上的大多数绿皮都和他一起死了。
An Ork about twice the size of a Space Marine was chosen to be officially presented as the Beast before the public of the Imperium - large enough that it would not make the Imperium look weak for struggling, but not so large as to encourage cowardice.
一只大约是星际战士两倍大小的欧克被选为帝国公众面前的野兽 — 它足够大,不会让帝国在挣扎中显得软弱,但也不会大到鼓励懦弱。
In the aftermath of the downfall of The Beast, his Waaagh! crumbled but it took many years and a century's-long Crusade by the Imperium under Thane to finish off his forces.
在野兽倒下后,他的Waaagh!虽然已经崩溃,但塞恩领导下的帝国花了很多年和一个世纪的远征才结束了他的军队。
