The War of the Beast, also known as Waaagh! The Beast, was an enormous Ork Waaagh! first encountered by the Imperium in 544.M32. Waged by the Warboss known only as The Beast after he succeeded in uniting much of the Ork race, 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 largest war fought by the Imperium since the Horus Heresy, humanity only halted his advance at great cost and desperate measure, devastating the Adeptus Astartes.
野兽战争，也被称为野兽的Waaagh！，是一场帝国于544.M32年首次遇到的巨大的欧克 Waaagh！。在成功团结了大部分欧克种族后，被只被称为野兽的战争头目发动，他的Waaagh！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。这是自荷鲁斯叛乱以来帝国发动的最大规模的战争，人类付出了巨大的代价和绝望的措施才停止了前进，几乎摧毁了阿斯塔特修会。

Overview 概述
The Beast Arises 野兽出现
By mid-M32, the Imperium was in a state of relative peace and prosperity. Having recovered from the devastating Horus Heresy, the Traitor Legions were still reeling from their defeat inside the Eye of Terror, Xenos were relegated to the frontiers of Imperial space, and the stagnation and decay that would define the Imperium millennia later had not yet set in. Confident that humanity had endured its greatest challenge, the Orks in particular were underestimated and judged to have been removed as a threat since the Ullanor Crusade. Under the powerful Lord High Admiral of the Imperial Navy Lansung most of the Imperial Fleet was dispatched to humanity's borders, far from Terra.
到M32中期，帝国处于相对和平与繁荣的状态。从毁灭性的荷鲁斯叛乱中恢复过来后，叛徒军团仍在恐惧之眼的失败中挣扎，异型被驱逐到帝国空域的边界，而数千年后定义帝国的停滞和衰落尚未开始。由于相信人类已经经历了最大的挑战，特别是欧克，他们被低估了，并被判断为自乌兰诺远征以来已不被视为威胁。在强大的帝国海军领主至高海军上将兰松的领导下，帝国舰队的大部分被派往远离泰拉的人类边境。
This underestimation of the greenskins would prove to be disastrous upon the world of Ardamantua in Segmentum Solar, just an estimated six weeks Warp travel from Terra. There, the entire Imperial Fists Shield Company battled the Chromes, insectoid aliens seemingly in flight of another, worse threat. The planet soon became wracked by gravitational storms and geological disturbances as the Chromes made their last desperate attack on the Imperial lines. The Imperial Fists were soon decimated, their fleet lost, and Chapter Master Cassus Mirhen died at the hand of the Chromes in a desperate battle. Realizing the disaster facing Terra, a rescue operation led by Lord Commander Militant of the Imperial Guard Heth and the remaining Imperial Fists Chapter, including the 50 Wall Brothers, was dispatched. The source of the disturbances became clear when an enormous Ork planetoid began to materialize into Ardamantua's orbit, laying waste to the reinforcement fleet. On Ardamantua, the surviving Fists under First Captain Algerin, Second Captain Koorland/Slaughter, and Captain Sauber/Severance, with a handful of Guardsmen allies, waged a desperate struggle against the panicked Chromes and escalating gravity anomalies as the Greenskin planetoid seemed to phase in and out of reality as it drew closer to full materialization. Soon after, massive Orks began to land on the planet and killed the remaining Imperial forces, which had somehow arrived from what the Imperials would dub "Subspace". After dispatching a message that the Imperium faced a threat like none before, Heth's fleet was destroyed along with seemingly the entire Imperial Fists Chapter. The Imperium estimated that the Attack Moon would next move on Terra itself.
这种对绿皮的低估将对太阳星域的阿达曼图阿世界造成灾难性的影响，距离泰拉只需大约六周的亚空间航行。在那里，整个帝国之拳连队与铬族作战，铬族是一种昆虫类异型，似乎在逃离另一个更糟糕的威胁。随着铬族对帝国战线进行最后一次绝望的攻击，这颗行星很快就受到了引力风暴和地质扰动的破坏。帝国之拳很快就被摧毁了，他们的舰队也损失了，战团长卡苏斯·米尔亨在一场绝望的战斗中死于铬族之手。意识到泰拉面临的灾难，派遣了由帝国卫队军务领主指挥官赫斯和剩余的帝国之拳战团（包括50个高墙兄弟）领导的救援行动。当一个巨大的欧克小行星开始出现在阿达曼图阿的轨道上，摧毁了增援舰队时，干扰的来源变得清晰起来。在阿达曼图阿，在第一连长阿尔杰林、第二队长库兰德/屠杀者和索伯/切断者的带领下，幸存的帝国之拳部队与少数卫队盟友，与惊慌失措的铬族和不断升级的重力异常进行了绝望的斗争，因为绿皮小行星似乎在接近完全物质化的过程中逐渐进入和退出现实。不久之后，巨大的欧克开始降落在这个行星上，并杀死了剩余的帝国军队，这些军队不知何故从帝国所谓的“子空间”抵达。在发出帝国面临前所未有的威胁的信息后，赫斯的舰队似乎连同整个帝国之拳战团都被摧毁了。帝国估计攻击月亮接下来将移动到泰拉上。
Disaster 灾难
In the months that followed, it became apparent that more than a single Ork Attack Moon existed. They spread swarms of unusually large and vicious Greenskins across Segmentum Solar, swallowing up at first entire Systems. Soon entire Sub-sectors, and then finally entire Sectors were overrun by the Greenskins and billions upon billions perished. The gravitational and psychic storms given off by the Waaagh! and their attack moons drove millions to madness, while other humans founded cults dedicated to worshiping the Beast himself, though in the end this did not save them. Faced with this unstoppable tide, the High Lords of Terra bickered among themselves and provided no leadership during the crisis. Lansung refused to cooperate with the Imperial Guard and instead gathered most of his fleet at the Glaucasian Gulf for an unknown reason. As the Grand Master of Assassins Drakan Vangorich attempted to counter High Admiral Lansung's influence in the Senatorum Imperialis and discover what the Mechanicum was hiding about the Greenskins, Black Templars Marshal Bohemond was undertaking a quest to reunite the scattered Successor Chapters of the Imperial Fists. Koorland, the last surviving Imperial Fist, ultimately enacted the "Last Wall" protocol which sought to reunite the Successor Chapters of the Fists into a Legion once more should Terra itself come under threat. This would be undertaken despite the wishes of the High Lords. This plan was solidified during a meeting in the Phall System between Koorland, the Black Templars, Crimson Fists, Fists Exemplar and Excoriators. The Iron Knights also responded to the call, while the Soul Drinkers could not be contacted.
在接下来的几个月里，很明显，存在不止一个欧克攻击月亮。他们在太阳星域散布了一群异常大而凶猛的绿皮，起初吞噬了整个星系。很快，整个分区，最后是整个星区都被绿皮占领，数十亿人丧生。由Waaagh！和他们的攻击月亮的引力和灵能风暴和让数百万人疯狂，而其他人则建立了专门崇拜野兽的教派，尽管最终这并没有拯救他们。面对这股不可阻挡的浪潮，泰拉的高领主们相互争吵，在危机期间没有提供任何领导。兰松拒绝与帝国卫队合作，而是出于未知原因将他的大部分舰队聚集在格劳加西亚湾。当刺客大导师德拉坎·万戈里奇试图对抗至高海军上将兰松在帝国参议院的影响力，并发现机械教对关于绿皮隐瞒了什么时，黑色圣堂元帅博希蒙德正在寻求重新团结分散的帝国之拳子战团。库兰德是最后一个幸存的帝国之拳，最终发动了“最终高墙”协议，该协议试图在泰拉本身受到威胁的情况下，将帝国之拳的子战团重新团结成一个军团。即便违背高领主的意愿，此事也仍将推进。这个计划在库兰德、黑色圣堂、绯红之拳、典范之拳和责难者在法尔星系的一次会议上得到了巩固。钢铁骑士也响应了这一号召，但无法联系到饮魂者。
The Battle of Port Sanctus 圣港之战
Meanwhile, the High Lords infighting continued to hamper the war effort. Inquisitorial Representative Wienand ultimately forced Lord High Admiral Lansung to take action by having her agents exploit the rivalry between Admirals Price and Acharya. Exploiting the latter's lust for glory, Wienand's agents were somehow able to convince the latter to attempt to take his portion of Lansung's fleet anchored at Lepidus Prime to attempt to relieve the Ork siege of Port Sanctus. Not wishing to display an inability to command his own forces, Lansung departed with a segment of Battlefleet Solar to personally lead the attack. However after Lansung left, the Puritan Lord Inquisitor Veritus was able to launch a political coup within the Inquisition, forcing Wienand to fake her death and go into hiding. Becoming the new Inquisitorial Representative, Veritus became determined to force the High Lords into a subordinate role to the Inquisition. Despite a seeming conflicting agenda, Drakan Vangorich speculates that Veritus and Lansung are in league.
与此同时，高领主的内斗继续阻碍着战争的进行。审判官代表维南德最终迫使领主至高海军上将兰松采取行动，让她的特工利用海军上将普莱斯和海军上将阿查里亚之间的竞争。利用后者对荣耀的渴望，维南德的特工设法说服后者试图将驻扎在勒庇多斯主星的兰松舰队的一部分带到那里，试图解除欧克对圣港的围困。兰松不想表现出无法指挥自己的部队，他带着一支太阳舰队的一部分离开，亲自领导这次袭击。然而，在兰松离开后，纯洁派领主审判官维瑞图斯在审判庭内部发动了一场政治政变，迫使维南德伪造死亡并躲藏起来。成为新的审判庭代表后，维瑞图斯决心迫使高领主从属于审判庭。尽管议程似乎相互矛盾，德拉坎·万戈里奇推测维瑞图斯和兰松是联盟。
At Port Sanctus, elements amounting to half a Segmentum Fleet rallied around Admirals Lansung, Acharya, and Price, launching a desperate attack against the Ork Attack Moon and accompanying fleet besieging the shipyards. After weeks of smashing through Ork asteroid forts and raiding craft ringing the Sanctus System, it became clear that the Imperial fleet was outmatched and would ultimately be defeated in a pitched battle. In particular, the Ork ability to have small raider-sized vessels rapidly teleport warriors aboard Imperial vessels even when they still had their Void Shields up proved troublesome. However, perhaps from a lack of discipline, the Greenskin fleet began to dissipate to pursue individual elements of the Imperial Navy. Sensing an opportunity to destroy the Attack Moon or die trying, the Imperial fleet launched a desperate final charge at the station.
在圣港，半个星域舰队的成员聚集在兰松、阿查里亚和普莱斯海军上将周围，对欧克攻击月亮发动了绝望的攻击，并伴随舰队围攻了造船厂。经过数周对欧克小行星堡垒的粉碎和对圣地星系周围的飞行器的突袭，很明显帝国舰队已经被击败，最终将在一场激烈的战斗中被彻底击败。特别是，事实证明，即使他们仍然升着虚空盾，欧克也能让小型袭击者大小的船只快速传送战士跳帮到帝国战舰上，这很麻烦。然而，也许是由于缺乏纪律，绿皮舰队开始分散，追捕帝国海军的个别成员。帝国舰队感觉到有机会摧毁攻击月亮或尝试死亡，于是向基地发起了绝望的最后冲锋。
The near-suicidal charge against the Ork Attack Moon proved costly for the Imperial fleet, the station's Gravity Whip in particular destroying whole squadrons of Cruisers and Battleships with each volley. However, the repeated firing of the weapon degraded the Attack Moon's Void Shields, allowing for the Imperials to combine their firepower in conjunction with a suicidal run by Attack Craft directly inside the station. When the Moon's gravitic generators were destroyed, the entire structure exploded, though it took many of the surviving Imperial vessels with it. The siege of Port Sanctus was lifted and the first of the Ork Attack Moons was destroyed.
事实证明，对欧克攻击月亮的近乎自杀的猛攻对帝国舰队来说代价高昂，该基地的重力鞭每次齐射都会摧毁整个巡洋舰和战列舰中队。然而，武器的反复射击削弱了攻击月亮的虚空盾，使帝国能够将他们的火力与攻击机直接在空间站内的自杀式奔袭相结合。当月亮的重力发生器被摧毁时，整个结构发生了爆炸，尽管它带走了许多幸存的帝国战舰。对圣港的围困被解除，第一艘奥尔克攻击月球被摧毁。
Lansung returned to Terra to a triumphant parade, but his victory was short lived as another Ork Attack Moon materialized directly over the capital of humanity.
兰松回到泰拉参加了一场胜利的游行，但他的胜利是短暂的，因为另一个欧克攻击月亮直接出现在人类的首都上空。
The Proletarian Crusade 无产远征
At the same time, the Orks expanded their campaign onto a galactic scale. Every Segmentum of the Imperium saw heavy fighting. Prandium and Quintarn in Ultramar were invaded, forcing the Ultramarines and several of their Successor Chapters into a defensive role. While the Iron Hands sent three Companies towards Terra, the Space Wolves, Salamanders and Raven Guard all became too bogged down in fighting their own campaigns to come to aid. The Blood Angels were able to successfully destroy an Ork Attack Moon. The Ork attack even spread beyond the borders of the Imperium, the Iron Warriors world of Klostra near the Maelstrom was also assailed.
与此同时，欧克将他们的活动扩展到银河系。帝国的每个星域都经历了激烈的战斗。奥特拉玛的普兰蒂姆和昆坦被入侵，迫使极限战士和他们的几个子战团发挥防御作用。当钢铁之手派三个连队前往泰拉时，太空野狼、火蜥蜴和暗鸦守卫都陷入了自己的战斗中，无法前来援助。圣血天使成功摧毁了一个兽人攻击月亮。欧克的攻击甚至蔓延到帝国的边界之外，大漩涡附近的克洛斯特拉世界的钢铁勇士也受到了攻击。
Meanwhile on Terra, following the arrival of an Ork Attack Moon, panic erupted across the throneworld. All contact with Mars ceased as Fabricator-General Kubik refused to give Holy Terra any aid. The Adeptus Arbites struggled to contain the wave of riots, anarchy and disorder and thousands died. The High Lords had to be barricaded into secure areas of the Imperial Palace. With the majority of Battlefleet Solar deployed elsewhere or destroyed in the Battle of Port Sanctus, Terra was virtually defenseless and Lansung was disgraced and fell from power. In this moment, a joint plan by Speaker for the Chartist Captains Juskina Tull and Ecclesiarch Mesring was proposed. Announcing a "Proletarian Crusade", millions of Frateris Militia and civilian volunteers were to be transported by Tull's Merchant Fleet to the orbiting Attack Moon in a massive boarding operation. The largest civilian mobilization in Imperial history, the volunteers were to be supported by relatively small numbers of Imperial Guard and Arbites. Many of the High Lords, Vangorich, Veritus and Lansung included, all condemned the plan as madness but were overruled by the ascendant Tull and Mesring.
与此同时，在泰拉上，随着欧克攻击月亮的到来，整个世界都爆发了恐慌。由于铸造将军库比克拒绝向神圣泰拉提供任何援助，与火星的所有联系都停止了。法务部努力遏制骚乱、无政府状态和混乱的浪潮，数千人死亡。高领主们不得不被封锁在帝国皇宫的安全区域。由于大部分太阳舰队部署在其他地方或在圣港战役中被摧毁，泰拉几乎毫无防御能力，兰松蒙羞并失去了权力。在这一刻，议长为宪章船长朱斯金娜·图尔和教宗梅斯林提出了一项联合计划。宣布“无产远征”后，数百万兄弟会民兵和平民志愿者将由图尔的商船队运送到轨道上的攻击月亮，进行大规模的跳帮行动。这是帝国历史上规模最大的平民动员，志愿者将得到相对较少的帝国卫队和仲裁员的支援。包括万戈里奇、维瑞图斯和兰松在内的许多高领主都谴责该计划是疯狂的，但被占支配地位的的图尔和梅斯林推翻了。
The Crusade commenced shortly after its announcement due to the very small amount of planning that went into it. Thousands of civilian craft from massive Mass Conveyors to tiny shuttles rushed towards the Attack Moon, carrying millions of crusaders, guardsmen and Arbites. Ork fighters and boarding parties took a heavy toll on the makeshift fleet, but due to its immense size many of the vessels got through. The Imperials were able to land millions of troops and even 100 Leman Russ Battle Tanks and 50 Chimeras and Hellhounds onto the surface of the moon, where they engaged in vicious battle with Ork mobs. In a part-tank part-melee battle, the Imperials were able to drive back the Orks through sheer numbers and brutal hand-to-hand fighting. However, as they were approaching a gate into the interior of the moon, the Orks manipulated the planetoid's surface and the entire invading army was crushed by enclosing mountains.
由于所做的计划很少，远征在宣布后不久就开始了。数千艘民用船只，从大型弥撒运输车到小型航天飞机，载着数百万远征者、卫兵和仲裁员冲向攻击月亮。欧克战斗机和跳帮队对临时舰队造成了重大损失，但由于其巨大的规模，许多船只都通过了。帝国能够将数百万军队，甚至100辆黎曼鲁斯战斗坦克和50辆奇美拉和地狱犬降落在月亮表面，在那里他们与兽人暴徒进行了激烈的战斗。在一场半坦克半肉搏战中，帝国凭借庞大的兵力和残酷的肉搏战击退了欧克。然而，当他们接近进入月亮内部的大门时，欧克操纵了小行星的表面，整个入侵军队都被包围的山脉压垮了。
Following the disastrous Proletarian Crusade, Terra seemed out of options. An astonishing incident took place where a surviving Crusade ship landed on Terra, carrying three Orks including an "ambassador". Identified as an entirely new sub-species of the hyper-evolving Beast Orks, the ambassador spoke Gothic and was able to arrange a meeting with the High Lords thanks to Vangorich and the disbelief of the Palace guards. The Ork ambassador, identifying himself as Bezhrak, demanded the surrender of Terra or face death. The High Lords were speechless, unable to give any coherent response. Disgusted by their cowardice and lack of resolve, the Ork ambassador left just as Eldar vessels appeared over the Imperial Palace.
在灾难性的无产远征之后，泰拉似乎别无选择。发生了一件令人震惊的事件，一艘幸存的远征船降落在泰拉上，载有三只欧克，其中包括一名“大使”。大使被确定为高度进化的野兽欧克的一个全新亚种，他说哥特语，并能够安排与高领主的会面，这要归功于万戈里奇和皇宫守卫的怀疑。这位自称为贝兹阿克的欧克大使要求泰拉投降，否则将面临死亡。高领主无言以对，无法给出任何连贯的回应。欧克大使对他们的懦弱和缺乏决心感到厌恶，就在灵族战舰出现在帝国皇宫上空时离开了。
Battle for Terra 泰拉之战
Chaos further gripped the Imperial Palace as a small force of seven Harlequins led by Shadowseer Lhaerial Rey infiltrated the complex. The Eldar maintained that they had come in peace at the behest of Farseer Eldrad Ulthran, but massacred any who tried to stop their advance towards the Golden Throne. After brushing past Lucifer Blacks security, the xenos managed to reach the Inner Palace where they encountered hundreds of furious Custodes. In the end, the xenos attempt to reach the Emperor's throneroom failed and the last surviving Harlequin, Lhaerial, was captured by Custodes at the foot of the Eternity Gate. Though Captain-General Beyreuth ordered the execution of the Shadowseer, Grand Master of Assassins Drakan Vangorich and Inquisitorial Representative Veritus arrived and urged the Custodian to transfer the Eldar to their care for interrogation. Reluctantly, Beyreuth complied. After interrogation at the Inquisitorial Fortress of Terra, Lhaerial revealed that Eldrad had dispatched her on a mission to personally deliver a message to the Emperor himself. As proof of her message of peace, she revealed the tooth of a Nocturne drake that Vulkan had supposedly given Eldrad. Lhaerial went on to state that Ulthwe had managed to calm the Warp around Terra to aid the Imperial war effort against the Orks, but that the true threat was gathering.
由暗影先知勒亚尔·雷伊领导的一支由七名丑角组成的小部队渗透进了皇宫，混乱进一步笼罩了帝国皇宫。灵族坚称，他们是应先知埃尔德拉德·乌斯兰的命令为和平前来的，但屠杀了任何试图阻止他们向黄金王座前进的人。在躲过路西法黑卫的安检后，这些异型设法到达了皇宫内部，在那里他们遇到了数百名愤怒的禁军。最后，异型试图到达帝皇的王座厅失败了，最后一个幸存的丑角勒亚尔在永恒之门脚下被禁军俘虏。尽管禁军元帅贝鲁斯下令处决暗影先知，但刺客大导师德拉坎·万戈里奇和审判官代表维瑞图斯赶到现场，敦促禁军将灵族交给他们审问。贝鲁斯不情愿地答应了。在泰拉的审判庭要塞接受审问后，勒亚尔透露埃尔德拉德派她去执行一项任务，亲自向帝皇本人传递信息。作为她和平信息的证明，她露出了沃坎据说送给埃尔德拉德的夜曲星火龙的牙齿。勒亚尔接着说，乌斯维已经设法平息了泰拉周围的亚空间，以帮助帝国对抗欧克的战争，但真正的威胁正在聚集。
Shortly after the Eldar raid on Terra, the "Last Wall", the combined force of Imperial Fists Successors, finally arrived in the Sol System. 20 Battle Barges and Strike Cruisers carrying 2,800 Battle-Brothers from the Black Templars, Crimson Fists, Fists Exemplar and Excoriators emerged over the Ork Attack Moon plaguing Terra. They were led by High Marshal Bohemond and the last surviving Imperial Fist, Koorland. The Astartes were finally able to wrangle aid from Mars and Fabricator-General Kubik agreed to donate the fleet of the Basilikon Astra, 5 Skitarii Regiments and 7 Cybernetica cohorts.
在灵族突袭泰拉后不久，帝国之拳子战团的联合部队“最终高墙”终于到达了太阳系。20艘战斗驳船和打击巡洋舰载着2800名来自黑色圣堂的战斗兄弟、绯红之拳、典范之拳和责难者出现在困扰泰拉的欧克攻击月亮上。他们由至高元帅博希蒙德和最后幸存的帝国之拳库兰德领导。阿斯塔特终于能够争取到火星的援助，铸造将军库比克同意捐赠星界君主舰队、5个护教军兵团和7个智控大队。
The Astartes and their Mechanicum allies struck at the Attack Moon, using Cyclonic Torpedos to disable most of its surface weapons stations. However, the station's gravitic whip was still active, and it inflicted heavy losses on the Imperial forces. Meanwhile, a massive landing operation was launched, hundreds of Terminators backed by Thunderhawk-borne battle tanks touched down on the moon alongside Skitarii and Battle-Automata, battling thousands upon thousands of Orks. The battle in space was slowly swinging in favor of the Orks thanks to the Moon's devastating gravitic whip, but the timely arrival of the Iron Knights turned the tide. Ultimately, the Astartes were successful in disabling the Moon's portal to prevent new reinforcements from emerging and, with two thirds of the moon's surface destroyed, the exhausted Imperials withdrew. In the closing stages of the battle, the Iron Knights Chapter Master Malfons died covering their escape against a massive Ork Warboss the size of a Dreadnought.
阿斯塔特及其机械教盟友袭击了攻击月亮，使用旋风鱼雷摧毁了其大部分地面武器基地。然而，基地的重力鞭仍然活跃，给帝国军队造成了重大损失。与此同时，一场大规模的跳帮行动开始了，数百架由雷鹰携带的战斗坦克支援的终结者与护教军和战斗自动机兵一起降落在月亮上，与成千上万的欧克作战。由于月亮毁灭性的重力鞭，太空中的战斗慢慢向有利于欧克的方向发展，但钢铁骑士的及时到来扭转了局面。最终，阿斯塔特成功地摧毁了月亮的入口，以防止新的增援部队出现，在月亮表面三分之二被摧毁的情况下，精疲力尽的帝国军队撤退了。在战斗的最后阶段，钢铁骑士战团长马尔方斯在躲避一个无畏大小的巨大欧克战争头目时牺牲了。
In the aftermath of the battle, massive victory celebrations were broadcasted over the beleaguered Terra, and the High Lords led by Lord Commander Udin Macht Udo took credit for the victory. In a private meeting with the leaders of the Last Wall, (High Marshal Bohemond and Chapter Masters Quesadra, Koorland, Verpall, Maximus Thane and Issachar), Lord Commander Udo scolded the Astartes. He dubbed the unification of the Imperial Fists Successors borderline heretical, condemned them for arriving over Terra without warning, ordered their fleets be broken up immediately and demanded that the destruction of the Imperial Fists be kept from the public. Most ominous at all, he forbade any further fleet action against the heavily damaged Ork attack moon as Mechanicum Fabricator-General Kubik demanded it intact for an unknown purpose. Though the Astartes Masters were furious, Koorland ultimately swayed them to maintain the Emperor's vision and listen to the Chairman of the Senatorum.
战斗结束后，在四面楚歌的泰拉上空播放了大规模的胜利庆祝活动，由领主指挥官乌丁·马赫特·乌多领导的高领主们为这场胜利感到自豪。在与最终高墙的领导人（至高元帅博希蒙德和战团长奎萨达拉、库兰德、维帕尔、马克西姆斯·塞恩和以萨迦）的一次私人会面中，领主指挥官乌多斥责了阿斯塔特。他称帝国之拳子战团的统一近乎异端，谴责他们毫无预警地抵达泰拉，命令立即解散他们的舰队，并要求不对公众公开帝国之拳的摧毁。最不祥的是，他禁止舰队对严重受损的欧克攻击月亮采取任何进一步行动，因为机械教铸造将军库比克出于未知目的要求它完好无损。尽管阿斯塔特大师们非常愤怒，但库兰德最终还是说服他们坚持帝皇的意愿，听从参议院的主席的意见。
Meanwhile, on Dzelenic IV, Black Templars led by Marshal Magneric and Warsmith Kalkator came to an uneasy truce in the face of a mutual Ork threat. For the first time in 1,500 years, sons of Rogal Dorn and Perturabo fought side by side.
与此同时，在杰泽莱尼奇四号上，由元帅玛格纳瑞克领导的黑色圣堂和战争铁匠卡尔卡托在面对相互的欧克威胁时达成了不安的停战协议。1500年来，罗格·多恩和佩图拉博的子嗣首次并肩作战。
Ultimately, it became apparent to Koorland that the High Lords, Lord Commander Udo in particular, were proving too ineffectual to see victory. After Lord Commander Udo tried to ban the Inquisition from the Senatorum Imperialis, Koorland led a political coup with the cooperation of Drakan Vangorich, Veritus, Wienand and Vernor Zeck. Seeing the writing on the wall, all the other High Lords came to support Koorland and declared him the new Lord Commander of the Imperium.
最终，库兰德清楚地看到，高领主，特别是领主指挥官乌多，被证明太无能了，看不到胜利。在领主指挥官乌多试图禁止审判庭所进入帝国参议院后，库兰德在德拉坎·万戈里奇、维里图斯、维南德和弗农·泽克的合作下领导了一场政治政变。看到墙上的文字，所有其他高领主都来支持库兰德，并宣布他为新的帝国领主指挥官。
Standoff with the Mechanicum 与机械教对峙
In his first move as Lord Commander, Koorland moved to curtail the scheming of the Martian Mechanicum. The Mechanicum had recently detained the Tech-Priest Eldon Urquidex, who had knowledge of the Beast's origins, and massacred an Officio Assassinorum investigation team under Vanus Assassin Clementina Yendl. The Assassin team had discovered the Mechanicum's secret experimentation with Ork technology to potentially teleport Mars from the Sol System. Under Koorland's orders, a force of Fists Exemplar under Chapter Master Thane and Master of the Forge Aloysian was dispatched to Mars to take Urquidex into custody, but upon landing on the planet's surface was confronted by a large force of Skitarii, Electro-Priests, and Legio Cybernetica under Argus Van Auken. The two sides engaged in a tense standoff as Thane continued to advance towards Urquidex's position on Pavonis Mons, being careful to not fire on the Mechanicum forces. Not wanting an armed conflict either, Auken attempted to physically block the Marines with his own Skitarii and ordered that they leave Mars at once.
在他担任领主指挥官的第一步中，库兰德着手遏制火星机械教的阴谋。机械教最近拘留了技术神甫埃尔登·乌尔奎德克斯，他知道野兽的起源，并屠杀了瓦努斯刺客克莱门蒂娜·延德尔手下的刺客庭调查小队。刺客小队发现了机械教使用欧克技术进行的秘密实验，该实验有可能将火星从太阳系传送出去。在库兰德的命令下，一支由战团长塞恩和铸造大师阿洛西安领导的典范之拳部队被派往火星，将乌尔奎德克斯拘留，但在登陆火星表面时，遇到了阿格斯·范·奥肯领导的一支由护教军、电僧和智控军团组成的庞大部队。双方进行了紧张的对峙，塞恩继续向帕弗尼斯山脉的乌尔奎德克斯的阵地前进，小心不要向机械教部队开火。奥肯也不想发生武装冲突，他试图用自己的护教军物理封锁战士，并命令他们立即离开火星。
However, disaster struck when a warning shot from a Mechanicum Onager Dunecrawler accidentally hit an incoming Exemplar Drop Pod. Almost immediately after, both sides exchanged fire in a brief but vicious battle. It was only thanks to the efforts of Fabricator-General Kubik on Terra that complete disaster was averted. Moved by Koorland's pleas for unity in the face of the Green Menace, Kubik sent a unilateral ceasefire order to a panicked Van Auken on Mars, who quickly complied. The Fists Exemplar were able to take Urquidex into custody, and Kubik revealed the extent of his experimentation with Ork teleportation technology, which was able to teleport Phobos from one sides of Mars' orbit to the other. With the knowledge gained from the now half-Servitor Urquidex, Koorland and his allies discovered that The Beast's homeworld was Ullanor and immediately dispatched a call to allies across the Imperium to gather at Terra for a massive counteroffensive towards the mythical planet and finally deal with the crippled Attack Moon over humanity's throneworld. The Ultramarines, Dark Angels, Blood Angels and Space Wolves all answered the call and headed towards Terra.
然而，当机械教野驴沙丘爬行者的警告射击意外击中即将到来的典范之拳空投舱时，灾难发生了。几乎紧接着，双方在一场短暂但激烈的战斗中交火。正是由于铸造将军库比克在泰拉上的努力，才避免了彻底的灾难。库比克被库兰德在绿皮威胁面前团结一致的呼吁所感动，向火星上惊慌失措的范·奥肯发出了单方面停火令，他很快就遵守了。典范之拳能够将乌尔奎德克斯拘留，库比克透露了他对欧克传送技术的实验程度，该技术能够将火卫一从火星轨道的一侧传送到另一侧。从现在半个机仆乌尔奎德克斯那里获得的知识，库兰德和他的盟友发现野兽的家园是乌兰诺，并立即向帝国各地的盟友发出呼吁，聚集在泰拉对这个神话里的行星进行大规模的反攻，最终处理人类王座世界上瘫痪的攻击月亮。极限战士、黑暗天使、圣血天使和太空野狼都响应了号召，朝泰拉方向前进。
The Return of Vulkan 沃坎的回归
Koorland then received perhaps even more important information from Inquisitorial Representative Veritus, learning that the lost Primarch Vulkan had been spotted fighting openly on the Ork besieged world of Caldera. Koorland rushed a scattered force of combined Last Wall, Imperial Guard (primarily Lucifer Blacks but also Jupiter Storms, Orion Watch, and Granite Myrmidons), Imperial Navy, and Mechanicum forces from Terra to Caldera, knowing that recruiting a Primarch could be the key to victory. On Caldera, the task force found Vulkan holding back the Ork invasion almost single-handedly. With his regenerative capabilities and powerful new weapon Doomtremor, Vulkan would appear at firefights across the planet, massacring thousands of Orks and causing those remaining to pursue him instead of the Imperial defenders.
库兰德随后从审判庭代表维瑞图斯那里收到了可能更重要的信息，得知失踪的原体沃坎被发现在被欧克围困的卡尔德拉世界公开作战。库兰德从泰拉向卡尔德拉派遣了一支分散的部队，由最终高墙、帝国卫队（主要是路西法黑卫，但也有木星风暴、猎户座看守和花岗岩密尔弥冬）、帝国海军和机械教部队组成，因为他知道招募一名原体可能是胜利的关键。在卡尔德拉上，特遣部队发现沃坎几乎独自一人阻止了欧克的入侵。凭借他的再生能力和强大的新武器毁灭震颤，沃坎出现在全球各地的交火中，屠杀数千名兽人，并导致剩下的人追捕他，而不是帝国守军。
The Imperial task force discovered that despite the Primarch's best efforts, Caldera was ultimately doomed. The Orks were literally draining the planet's surface and core into orbit with a gravitic generator on the surface, creating a new Attack Moon. Koorland and his allies were able to finally meet Vulkan on the surface of Caldera, where the Primarch revealed that he had no interest in immediately withdrawing back to Terra. The Primarch had long ago pledged a vow to protect Caldera and would not leave until it was saved from the Greenskins. Forced to either leave in failure or battle to save the planet, Koorland chose the latter and, with the Primarch, they moved on the gravity generator as the Imperial Navy desperately sought to fend off the Ork vessels in orbit.
帝国特遣部队发现，尽管原体尽了最大努力，卡尔德拉最终还是注定要毁灭。欧克实际上是用表面上的重力发生器将行星的表面和核心排入轨道，创造了一个新的攻击月亮。库兰德和他的盟友终于能够在卡尔德拉地表与沃坎会面，在那里，原体透露他无意立即撤退回泰拉。这位原体很久以前就发誓要保护卡尔德拉，在从绿皮手中救出卡尔德拉之前，他不会离开。库兰德被迫要么失败离开，要么为拯救行星而战，他选择了后者，并与原体一起，在帝国海军拼命试图抵御轨道上的欧克战舰时，他们开始使用重力发生器。
The Imperial combined force of Space Marines, Guardsmen and Skitarii were able to reach the complex after a fierce battle but their advance began to falter at the gates of the generator in the face of Greenskin numbers and devastating weaponry. Ultimately, Vulkan threw himself in the gravitic beam draining the planet. While any other being would have been smashed into atoms by the force of the beam, Vulkan was able to endure long enough to throw his hammer into the generator's epicenter. Both the planet-side base and infant Attack Moon in orbit exploded. Vulkan reappeared shortly after, having fully regenerated.
经过一场激烈的战斗，帝国星际战士、卫队和护教军的联合部队能够到达该综合体，但面对绿皮的人数和毁灭性的武器，他们的前进在发生器的门口开始步履蹒跚。最终，沃坎把自己投进了抽干行星的重力光束中。虽然任何其他生物都会被光束的力量撞成原子，但沃坎能够忍受足够长的时间，将锤子扔进发生器的中心。轨道上的行星侧基地和新生的攻击月亮都爆炸了。不久之后，沃坎重新出现，完全再生。
With Caldera saved, Vulkan journeyed with Koorland back to Terra. He found the Imperial host that will march on Ullanor waiting for him. Despite scolding the High Lords, Vulkan did not purge them for the sake of unity. He proclaimed that he would lead the might of the Imperium to Ullanor and slay The Beast once and for all.
卡尔德拉获救后，沃坎与库兰德一起回到了泰拉。他发现将向乌兰诺进军的帝国军队正在等他。尽管斥责了高领主，但沃坎并没有为了团结而清洗他们。他宣称，他将带领帝国的力量前往乌兰诺，一劳永逸地杀死野兽。
Counterattack Ullanor 反击乌兰诺
With Vulkan at the forefront, the massive force that had now assembled at Terra set a path for Ullanor. A coalition of Black Templars, Crimson Fists, Fists Exemplar, Excoriators, Iron Knights, Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Space Wolves and Dark Angels made up the Space Marine contingent. They were accompanied by a sizable force of Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy as well as a Mechanicum force of Skitarii, Legio Cybernetica, House Taranis Knights and Titans of the Legio Ultima. While Vulkan remained the nominal commander of the force, he shut himself away inside the Fists Exemplar Battle Barge and acting Imperial command ship Alcazar Remembered and offered little advice. It was left to Lord Commander Koorland and Magos Dominus Gerg Zhokuv to oversee the specifics of the campaign. Through a communion of several Librarians that led to some becoming possessed by the Waagh spirit and having to be put down as they turned on their companions, it was deduced that the Beasts lair was in the "capital" of Ullanor, the city of Gorkogrod. At the center of Gorkogrod at the exact spot where the Emperor and Primarchs had assembled 1,500 years previous during the Ullanor Triumph, the Beast had his temple-palace. Meanwhile, Grand Master of Assassins Vangorich deployed Esad Wire on a secret mission to find and eliminate The Beast.
随着沃坎站在最前线，现在聚集在泰拉的庞大部队为前往乌兰诺开辟了道路。一个由黑色圣堂、绯红之拳、典范之拳、责难者、钢铁骑士、极限战士、圣血天使、太空野狼和黑暗天使组成的联盟组成了星际战士联军。伴随着他们的是一支相当大的帝国卫队和帝国海军部队，以及一支由护教军、智控军团、塔兰尼斯家族骑士和极限军团泰坦组成的机械教部队。虽然沃坎仍然是部队的名义指挥官，但他把自己关在了典范之拳战斗驳船和代理帝国指挥舰阿尔卡萨之念号内，几乎没有提供任何建议。这是留给领主指挥官库兰德和统御贤者格尔格·茹科夫来监督战役的具体情况。通过几位智库的交流，导致一些人被Waagh精神所附，并在他们背叛同伴时不得不被放下，据推断，野兽的巢穴位于乌兰诺的“首都”戈尔科格罗德城。在戈尔科格罗德的中心，在1500年前乌兰诺大捷期间帝皇和原体聚集的确切地点，野兽有他的神庙宫殿。与此同时，刺客大导师万戈里奇部署埃斯德·威尔执行一项秘密任务，寻找并消灭野兽。
When the Imperial fleet arrived at Ullanor, they found the planet heavily colonized and covered almost completely by ramshackle but surprisingly organized Ork urban settlements. After the Blood Angels and Black Templars brushed past the thankfully lacking orbital defenses, the Mechanicum made their initial landings. As Gorkogrod was protected by an immense energy shield and fielded many surface-to-orbit missile batteries, orbital bombardment was largely ineffective and ground forces needed to move in directly. Though an Ork electromagnetic weapon decimated the first wave of Mechanicus ships, all the Imperial commanders were concerned by the disorganized and weak Ork resistance. The Imperials quickly pushed to the outer defenses of Gorkogrod and it was here that The Beast unleashed his first real resistance. The surface of Ullanor itself moved and it became clear that the Greenskins had converted the world into an "Attack Planet". Using the terrain to their advantage and drawing the Imperials into urban kill-zones, disciplined Orks put up tenacious resistance that took an atrociously heavy toll on the Imperial attackers. Exotic Ork weapons both gravitic and psychic in nature decimated waves of Imperial warriors. Seemingly endless numbers of Ork Gargants finally appeared, trading blows with Imperial Titans. Guard casualties approached 50% while one in every three Astartes warriors was lost in the drive into Gorkogrod. Nonetheless, through sheer attrition and determination and the direct intervention of Vulkan, the Imperials slowly advanced.
当帝国舰队抵达乌兰诺时，他们发现这个行星被严重殖民化，几乎完全被摇摇欲坠但组织有序的欧克城市定居点所覆盖。在圣血天使和黑色圣堂掠过多亏缺乏的轨道防御后，机械教首次着陆。由于戈尔科格罗德受到巨大的能量盾的保护，并部署了许多地对轨道导弹阵列，轨道轰炸在很大程度上是无效的，地面部队需要直接进入。尽管欧克的电磁武器摧毁了第一波机械教船，但所有帝国指挥官都担心于欧克抵抗的混乱和薄弱。帝国迅速向戈尔科格罗德的外围防御推进，正是在这里，野兽发动了他的第一次真正抵抗。乌兰诺的表面发生了移动，很明显绿皮已经将世界变成了一个“攻击行星”。利用地形优势，将帝国军队拖入城市杀戮区，训练有素的欧克进行了顽强的抵抗，给帝国袭击者带来了惨重的损失。奇异的欧克武器，无论是重力武器还是灵能武器，都摧毁了帝国战士的浪潮。似乎无穷无尽的欧克加冈特终于出现了，与帝国泰坦进行了战斗。卫队伤亡率接近50%，每三名阿斯塔特战士中就有一人在进入戈尔科格罗德的过程中丧生。尽管如此，通过纯粹的消耗和决心，以及沃坎的直接干预，帝国缓慢前进。
Meanwhile, Imperial Assassin Esad Wire managed to infiltrate the immense temple of Gork and Mork at the center of Gorkogrod believed to be The Beast's palace. Once inside, he found tens of thousands of Warboss-sized Mega Armoured Orks accompanied by a Mega Gargant being held in reserve. Esad Wire realized he could never get to The Beast with this force in the way, and perhaps more importantly had to warn the Imperials that they were falling into a trap. Wire managed to hijack an Ork flyer and reach Imperial lines, warning of what he had saw. With Vulkan's approval, Koorland ordered that the Imperials would instead strike at the Ork supply depots. The Orks in Gorkogrod were already experiencing food shortages and had started eating human slaves, Gretchin and even each other. The Imperials believed that with their remaining food storehouses in jeopardy, The Beast and his elite guard would be drawn out.
与此同时，帝国刺客埃斯德·威尔设法潜入了位于戈尔科格罗德中心的巨大的搞哥和毛哥神庙，据信这是野兽的宫殿。进入后，他发现数万只战争头目大小的超重装欧克，以及一只储备的巨型加冈特。埃斯德·威尔意识到，以这种力量，他永远无法到达野兽，也许更重要的是，他不得不警告帝国，他们正陷入陷阱。威尔成功劫持了一架欧克飞行器，并抵达帝国防线，警告他所看到的一切。在沃坎的批准下，库兰德命令帝国转而袭击欧克补给站。戈尔科格罗德的欧克已经经历了粮食短缺，并开始吃人类奴隶、屁精甚至彼此。帝国认为，由于他们剩下的食物仓库处于危险之中，野兽和他的精锐卫队将被抽出。
The Imperial attack on the storehouses largely fulfilled their intended purposes. The center of Gorkogrod shook as it opened up and spat forth waves of massive Greenskins and Gargants. The Imperials managed to endure the attack, thanks in part to a hastily created Mechanicum Ordinatus assembled from a wrecked Capitol Imperialis and the Plasma Accelerator of a downed starship. However, as they finally reached the temple-palace of Ullanor, the massive structure came to life and revealed itself to be a Gargant beyond classification. The structure emitted psychic energy from its "eyes", raining death on the Imperials. Though the Imperials stood little chance against this superweapon, Vulkan led the last 3,000 Space Marines in a final airborne attack on it in hopes of reaching The Beast and slaying him once and for all. The Imperials were able to penetrate the temple-gargant's surface and reach the interior, finding Stompas inside defending it. The Astartes continued their advance before coming to a central chamber containing a power generator and a ten meter high metal statue of an Ork. When the statue began to move, the Space Marines realized that this was no mere idol but rather The Beast himself, entirely clad in a suit of armor.
帝国对仓库的袭击在很大程度上实现了他们的预期目的。戈尔科格罗德的中心在它打开时震动了，喷出了巨大的绿皮和加冈特。帝国设法承受了这次袭击，部分原因是一个匆忙创建的机械教将军炮，由一艘毁坏的帝国大厦和一艘被击落的星际飞船的等离子加速器组装而成。然而，当他们最终到达乌兰诺神庙宫殿时，这座巨大的建筑变得栩栩如生，并显示出自己是一个无法归类的加冈特。这座建筑从它的“眼睛”中释放出灵能能量，将死亡倾泻在帝国身上。尽管帝国几乎没有机会对抗这种超级武器，但沃坎率领最后3000名星际炸死你对其进行了最后的空袭，希望能够到达野兽并一劳永逸地杀死他。帝国能够穿透神庙的表面并到达内部，发现里面有古巨圾在防守它。阿斯塔特继续前进，然后来到一个中央房间，里面有一台能量发生器和一尊十米高的兽人金属雕像。当雕像开始移动时，星际战士意识到这不是雕像，而是完全穿着盔甲的野兽本人。
The Beast was a foe beyond any that the Astartes could face and it fell to Vulkan to confront him. After Crimson Fists and Ultramarines Chapter Masters Quesadra and Odaenathus were quickly killed and Blood Angels Captain Valefor was swatted away by The Beast like an insect, Koorland saw how little they could do against him. He then came to the realization that Vulkan intended to sacrifice himself to slay this creature. Despite the objections of Black Templars High Marshal Bohemond, Koorland led the Astartes in a retreat from the citadel as Vulkan fought The Beast alone. The ten meter high Warboss 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-gargant's 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.
野兽是阿斯塔特无法面对的敌人，它落在了沃坎的肩上。在绯红之拳和极限战士的战团长奎萨达拉和奥登纳图斯很快被杀，圣血天使连长华利弗被野兽像昆虫一样赶走后，库兰德看到他们对他无能为力。然后他意识到，沃坎打算牺牲自己来杀死这个生物。尽管黑色圣堂至高元帅博希蒙德反对，库兰德还是带领阿斯塔特从城堡撤退，因为沃坎独自与野兽作战。这位十米高的战争头目透露，他讲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，两人都掉进了神庙加冈特的能量发生器里，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，粉碎了神庙加冈特，似乎将它们都消灭了。
With The Beast apparently dead, Ork resistance on Ullanor crumbled and the mauled Imperial expedition limped back to Terra. However, once they reached orbit over the throneworld, the Orkish chant "I am Slaughter! I am Slaughter! I am Slaughter" echoed across all their communications systems.
野兽显然已经死了，欧克在乌兰诺的抵抗崩溃了，被重创的帝国远征队蹒跚地回到了泰拉。然而，他们一到达王座世界上空的轨道，欧克语的呼喊“我是屠杀者！我是杀戮者！我是大屠杀”在他们所有的通信系统中回荡。
Rise of the Deathwatch 死亡守望的兴起
The Ork chanting dominated all communication systems for weeks, and it became apparent to Koorland that The Beast was not dead, or at the very least a new Warboss had taken control of his Waaagh!. With his forces too bled from the fighting on Ullanor and agreeing with Drakan Vangorich that a new change of tactic was apt, Koorland instead proposed forming elite Kill-Teams of Astartes to track down and eliminate the Ork leadership as well as key strategic targets. When Koorland revealed to the High Lords that these Kill-Teams would be drawn from multiple Chapters, exist purely under his command, and exist even after The Beast was defeated, he met bitter opposition led by Tobris Ekharth, who stated that it went against the foundations of the Post-Heresy Imperium and rulings of Roboute Guilliman, and Mesring, who repeatedly declared such actions as blasphemy in a manner that uneased the others. In the first Senatorum Election to create Koorland's new force, only Drakan Vangorich voted yes while Kubik and Veritus abstained.
几周来，欧克的呼喊主宰了所有的通信系统，对库兰德来说很明显，野兽并没有死，或者至少有一个新的战争头目控制了他的Waaagh！。由于他的部队在乌兰诺之战中损失过多，同意德拉坎·万戈里奇的观点，即新的战术变化是恰当的，库兰德转而提议组建阿斯塔特精锐杀戮小队，以追踪和消灭欧克领导层以及关键战略目标。当库兰德向高领主透露，这些杀戮小队将来自多个战团，完全在他的指挥下存在，甚至在野兽被击败后仍然存在时，他遭到了托布里斯·埃克哈特的强烈反对，他表示这违背了叛乱后帝国的基础和罗伯特·基里曼的裁决，而梅斯林则一再宣称这种行为是亵渎神灵，使其他人感到不安。在第一次创建库兰德的新部队的参议院选举中，只有德拉坎·万戈里奇投了赞成票，而库比克和维里图斯弃权。
However the situation soon changed dramatically when the Ork Attack Moon over Terra, long since thought derelict, reactivated. With its Sub-Space gate seemingly repaired, massive Ork reinforcements swarmed in to reinforce the Moon as The Beast himself announced on all frequencies that he would bring slaughter to humanity. Faced with this new threat, Koorland was able to convince most of the High Lords to approve the formation of his Kill-Teams. In the second vote, only Mesring voted no though Kubik and Veritus again abstained. Koorland quickly deployed his new force, 3 small squads of black-armored Space Marines drawn from multiple Chapters. They were dubbed the Deathwatch in memory of the fallen brothers of Ullanor.
然而，当长期以来被认为被遗弃的泰拉上空的欧克攻击月亮重新激活时，情况很快发生了巨大变化。随着其分空间门似乎已经修复，巨大的欧克增援部队蜂拥而至，增援月亮，因为野兽本人在所有频率上宣布他将给人类带来大屠杀。面对这一新的威胁，库兰德说服了大多数高领主批准组建他的杀戮小队。在第二次投票中，只有梅斯林投了反对票，尽管库比克和维瑞图斯再次弃权。库兰德迅速部署了他的新部队，从多个战团抽调了3小队黑色装甲星际战士。他们被称为死亡守望，以纪念乌兰诺牺牲的兄弟。
As the Deathwatch boarded the Attack Moon, the Imperial Navy desperately sought to hold back the new Ork fleet that were swarming from the vessel. They were able to hold the line enough for the Deathwatch to plant Mechanicum beacons reverse-engineered from Ork subspace technology onto the moon. The Imperials planned to teleport the entire Attack Moon out of the Sol System, but the Mechanicum was unable to master the potent Ork technologies. As a result, half the moon simply vanished while the other half shattered and blanketed Terra in a storm of debris. In the ensuing disaster, hundreds of millions died and much of the Imperial Palace itself was damaged.
当死亡守望登上攻击月亮时，帝国海军拼命试图阻止从战舰蜂拥而至的新欧克舰队。他们能够守住足够的防线，让死亡守望将欧克分空间技术逆向工程的机械教信标植入月亮。帝国计划将整个攻击月亮从太阳系中传送出去，但机械教无法掌握强大的欧克技术。结果，月亮的一半完全消失了，而另一半则粉碎并覆盖了Terra，形成了一场碎片风暴。在随后的灾难中，数亿人死亡，皇宫本身的大部分遭到破坏。
Undeterred, Koorland planned his next move on The Beast. Realizing that they needed a counter to the potent Ork psychics, the Deathwatch followed a lead by Veritus to find the last remaining bastion of the Sisters of Silence. Koorland himself led the expedition to the far reaches of Segmentum Pacificus to try and find these lost Sisters, dealing with Ork forces along the way that were also hunting the psyker-killers out of fear. On Nadiries, the Deathwatch found the Sister's fortress under siege from an Ork army led by a massive Gargant. Koorland led the effort to lift the siege, and once inside was able to convince the reluctant Sisters to join him after revealing that he had the blessing of Vulkan himself.
库兰德并没有被吓倒，他计划对野兽采取下一步行动。意识到他们需要一个对抗强大的欧克灵能者的方法，死亡守望跟随维里图斯的脚步，找到了寂静修女最后剩下的堡垒。库兰德亲自率领远征队前往太平星域的偏远地区，试图找到这些失踪的修女，沿途与因恐惧而追捕灵能者杀手的欧克部队打交道。在纳迪里斯，死亡守望发现修女的堡垒正被一个巨大加冈特率领的欧克军队围困。库兰德领导了解除围困的努力，一旦进入，他就能够说服不情愿的修女们加入他，因为他透露自己得到了沃坎的祝福。
Return to Ullanor 回归乌兰诺
With the Sisters of Silence in hand, Koorland devised a new plan to eliminate the Beast. They would capture an Ork psyker and using the anti-psychic nature of the Sisters of Silence, create a reverse Waaagh! effect through the Ork psyche. After Deathwatch efforts to capture Orks psykers on Plaeos, Eidolica, and Valhalla Koorland was able to successfully conduct a experiment of this plan on the world of Incus Maximal, devastating a localized Ork force.
在寂静修女的帮助下，库兰德制定了一个新的计划来消灭野兽。他们将捕获一个欧克灵能者，并利用寂静修女的反灵能性质，创造一个反向的Waaagh！通过欧克心理产生影响。在死亡守望努力在普莱奥斯、艾多利卡和瓦尔哈拉捕获欧克灵能者之后，库兰德能够在坚固至尊世界成功地进行该计划的实验，摧毁了一支局部的欧克部队。
After the success on Incus Maximal, Koorland declared his intent to launch a second invasion of Ullanor to slay the Beast using his new weapon. As resources were exhausted from the first battle, the force invading Ullanor proved large but far smaller. It consisted of battered units of Space Marines from several Chapters (The Fists Exemplar, Iron Knights, Excoriators, Crimson Fists, Black Templars, Dark Angels, Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Aurora Chapter, Iron Snakes, Raven Guard, Storm Lords, Brazen Claws, and Space Wolves), the Deathwatch, Imperial Guard Regiments consisting of many veterans of the first campaign, Frateris Templar, Skitarii and Legio Cybernetica cohorts, Knights, several dozen Sisters of Silence, Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, and the remaining Titans of the Legio Ultima which consisted of only one Warlord Class and a Warhound Class. As the Imperial Navy was spread thin, much of the force was transported by Inquisitorial Black Ships provided by Wienand, who became the co-commander of the invasion phase of the plan alongside Maximus Thane. Meanwhile, Koorland prepared to personally lead an elite assassination force to find and slay the Beast. This unit consisted of himself, Black Templars High Marshal Bohemond, Chapter Master of the Deathwatch Asger Warfist, a Death Watch Kill-Team of 6 Marines led by Tyris, the Officio Assassinorum agent Beast Krule, the Skitarii Ranger Alpha 13-Jzzal, a squad of six Sisters of Silence led by Kavalanera Brassanas, Commissar Heliad Goss, and two Ogryns. Also accompanying the force were the Magi Phaeton Laurentis and Eldon Urquidex and four Servitors who escorted the bound Ork Psyker intended to be used as a sacrifice to slay the Beast.
在坚固至尊取得成功后，库兰德宣布他打算对乌兰诺发动第二次入侵，用他的新武器杀死野兽。由于第一次战斗的资源耗尽，入侵乌兰诺的部队规模虽然很大，但要比预期小得多。它由来自多个战团的受重创的星际战士部队组成（典范之拳、钢铁骑士、责难者、绯红之拳、黑色圣堂、黑暗天使、极限战士、圣血天使、极光战团、铁蛇、暗鸦守卫、风暴领主、黄铜之爪和太空野狼），死亡守望，由第一次战役的许多老兵组成的帝国卫队，圣堂兄弟会、护教军和智控军团大队，骑士，几十个寂静修女，审判庭冲锋队，以及仅由一个军阀级和一个战犬级组成的极限军团的剩余泰坦。随着帝国海军的分散，大部分部队由维南德提供的审判庭黑船运输，维南德与马克西姆斯·塞恩一起成为该计划入侵阶段的联合指挥官。与此同时，库兰德准备亲自领导一支精英暗杀部队寻找并杀死野兽。这支部队由他自己、黑色圣堂至高元帅博希蒙德、死亡守望战团长阿斯格·战拳、由泰里斯领导的由6名战士组成的死亡守望杀戮小队、刺客厅特工野兽·克鲁尔、护教军游侠阿尔法13-杰扎尔、由卡瓦莱涅菈·布拉桑那斯领导的由六名寂静修女组成的小队、政委赫利亚德·戈斯和两名欧格林。陪同部队的还有圣贤士法顿·劳伦蒂斯和埃尔登·乌尔奎德克斯，以及四名机仆，他们护送着被捆绑的欧克灵能者，这是用来杀死野兽的祭品。
The second invasion of Ullanor began with the sacrifice of several damaged Imperial warships manned by skeleton crews, which plunged into the Ork energy shield protecting the worlds "capital" of Gorkogrod. Using this moment of opportunity, Koorland's assassination force was able to teleport into Gorkogrod's central palace. However as the Imperials landed, they met sparse resistance and it became apparent that the Beast was already aware to the Imperial plan, quickly reactivating the energy shield and diverting his forces towards the palace. In space, a large ork fleet suddenly appeared and ambushed the orbiting Imperial vessels. The Beast's trap had been set, but Koorland was desperate to succeed where Vulkan had failed.
乌兰诺的第二次入侵始于牺牲了几艘由骨架船员驾驶的受损帝国战舰，这些战舰坠入了保护世界“首都”戈尔科格罗德的欧克能量盾。利用这一机会，库兰德的暗杀部队得以传送到戈尔科格罗德的中央宫殿。然而，当帝国登陆时，他们遇到了微弱的抵抗，很明显野兽已经意识到了帝国的计划，迅速重新激活了能量盾，并将他的部队转移到了宫殿。在太空中，一支庞大的欧克舰队突然出现，伏击了轨道上的帝国战舰。野兽的陷阱已经设置好了，但库兰德迫切希望在沃坎失败的地方取得成功。
As the Imperial invaders fought for their lives, Koorland's force was eventually able to reach the Beast's throneroom. Inside were six thrones, six statues, and six banners. Seated in one of the thrones was a massive armored Ork nearer in size to a walker vehicle than any Greenskin. The Imperial assassins then became surrounded by an elite greenskin guard of massive hulking Orks and an army of Gargants all larger than a Reaver Titan. As the other members of the assassination party held off the Greenskin "Adeptus Custodes", Koorland and the Space Marines engaged The Beast, who was equipped with a gauntlet of two Battlecannons supplemented with Missile Launchers, Autocannons, Flamers, and other weapons. The Space Marines proved no match for the massive Ork creature, but they were able to hold him off long enough for Laurentis, Urquidex, and the Sisters of Silence to activate their ritual. Thanks to the Sisters of Silence's Pariah effect the Ork Psyker imploded, spreading a reverse-Waaagh! effect through the greenskin horde that swept across Ullanor. While the Beast's guards and vehicles were disabled, the Warboss himself was only momentarily disabled. This allowed for a desperate final attack by Koorland and the others that narrowly slew the creature.
当帝国入侵者为他们的生命而战时，库兰德的部队最终能够到达野兽的王座厅。里面有六个王座、六个雕像和六个横幅。坐在其中一个王座上的是一个巨大的装甲欧克，它比任何绿皮都更接近步行者载具。帝国刺客随后被一支由庞大的兽人组成的精英绿皮卫队和一支比收割者泰坦还大的加冈特的军队包围。当暗杀小队的其他成员挡住了绿皮“禁军”时，库兰德和星际战士与野兽交战，野兽配备了两门战斗炮，并辅以导弹发射器、自动炮、火焰枪和其他武器。事实证明，星际战士无法与巨大的欧克生物匹敌，但他们能够让他停留足够长的时间，让劳伦蒂斯、乌尔奎德克斯和寂静修女们启动他们的仪式。由于寂静修女的被遗弃者效果，欧克灵能者内爆，传播了相反的Waaagh！影响穿过席卷乌兰诺的绿皮部落。虽然野兽的卫队和载具丧失能力，但战争头目本人只是暂时丧失能力。这使得库兰德和其他人进行了绝望的最后一次攻击，勉强杀死了该生物。
The Imperial victory however was short lived. A second, even larger Warboss entered the throneroom as soon as the first died. Koorland recognized it as the creature that had fought Vulkan in the first invasion, realizing at once that there was never a single Beast. looking across the throneroom, he realized that there were six "Prime-Orks", each a commander of a Greenskin "Legion". This new Beast and his reinforcements swept aside the Imperial assassins before he personally stomped on Koorland, killing the last son of Dorn. Faced with the death of their Lord Commander, the Imperials fled the planet with Koorland's body.
然而，帝国的胜利是短暂的。第一个死去后，第二个更大的战争头目进入了王座厅。库兰德认出它是第一次入侵时与沃坎作战的生物，立刻意识到从来没有一只野兽。他望向王座厅，发现有六个“欧克之首”，每个人都是绿皮“军团”的指挥官。这个新野兽和他的援军在他亲自踩踏库兰德并杀死多恩的最后一个子嗣之前，将帝国刺客驱逐。面对他们的领主指挥官的死亡，帝国带着库兰德的尸体逃离了这个行星。
One Final Effort 最后一次努力
In the aftermath of the death of Lord Commander Koorland, the High Lords of Terra stood indecisive. The coreworlds of Segmentum Solar were hit with a wave of renewed Ork attacks. The majority of Battlefleet Solar, paralyzed from a lack of orders, was annihilated by a Greenskin fleet of Space Hulks. Before his death the crazed Ecclesiarch Mesring had dispatched a message that worlds should throw their gates open to The Beast. This resulted in many Cardinal Worlds peacefully surrendering themselves, only to have their populations butchered. Drawn by some primal urge, the Space Wolves returned to Fenris while the Ultramarines and their successors became bogged down trying to defend key regions of Ultima Segmentum. With its leader dead, the Greenskins were ravaging the Imperium with impunity.
在领主指挥官库兰德牺牲后，泰拉的高领主们犹豫不决。太阳星域的核心世界再次遭到了欧克的攻击。由于缺乏命令而瘫痪的太阳舰队的大部分被绿皮太空废船舰队歼灭。在他死亡之前，疯狂的教宗梅斯林发出了一条信息，即世界应该向野兽敞开大门。这导致许多红衣主教世界和平投降，结果他们的人口被屠杀。在某种原始冲动的驱使下，太空野狼回到了芬里斯，而极限战士及其子战团在保卫极限星域的关键区域时陷入了困境。随着其领袖的死亡，绿皮正在肆无忌惮地蹂躏帝国。
It was in this context that Chapter Master of the Fists Exemplar, Maximus Thane, decided to take decisive action while attending Koorland's funeral and the Feast of Blades on Inwit. Unlike Koorland and Vulkan, Thane had no intent to try and work with the High Lords and instead gathered key competent individuals around himself. Allying with Grand Master of Assassins Drakan Vangorich and Fabricator-General Kubik, Thane conspired a third push on Ullanor to try and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The first phase of his plan involved having the Chapter's of the Last Wall to each contribute a portion of their remaining strength to reestablish the Imperial Fists, which had been wiped out with the death of Koorland. Soon enough, 1,000 Battle-Brothers in Imperial Fists armor stood ready and Thane took their place as the new Chapter Master. The destruction of the original Imperial Fists was kept secret, and the citizens of Terra rejoiced to see their defenders on parade in full strength. However, the High Lords knew the truth and grew suspicious.
正是在这样的背景下，典范之拳战团长马克西姆斯·塞恩决定在参加库兰德的葬礼和因威特的刀锋盛宴时采取果断行动。与库兰德和沃坎不同，塞恩无意尝试与高领主合作，而是将关键的有能力的人聚集在自己周围。塞恩与刺客大导师德拉坎·万戈里奇和铸造将军库比克结盟，密谋第三次向乌兰诺施压，试图从失败中夺取胜利。他的计划的第一阶段包括让最终高墙的战团各自贡献其剩余力量的一部分，以重建随着库兰德的死亡而被消灭的帝国之拳。很快，1000名身穿帝国之拳盔甲的战斗兄弟准备就绪，塞恩接替他们成为新的战团长。原初帝国之拳的毁灭是保密的，泰拉的公民很高兴看到他们的防御者全副武装地游行。然而，高领主们知道了真相，并开始怀疑。
Using Vangorich to intimidate Imperial Guard Lord Commander Militant Verreault and Lord High Admiral Lansung into contributing resources to a renewed push on Ullanor, Thane intended to repeat the strategy Koorland devised to use a captured Ork Psyker in conjunction with the Sisters of Silence to create a reverse-Waaagh! effect to slay The Beast.
塞恩利用万戈里奇恐吓帝国卫队军务领主指挥官韦罗奥特和领主至高海军上将兰松，要求他们为再次向乌兰诺推进提供资源，他打算重复库兰德设计的策略，即使用捕获的欧克灵能者与寂静修女一起制造反向Waaagh！杀死野兽的效果。
The third Imperial offensive on Ullanor differed in its unconventional tactics. Using Mechanicum technology, Thane redirected a wave of asteroids into the world, which was now teeming with trillions of Orks. However while the majority of the asteroids devastated the planet, its orbital defenses, or were intercepted, the bulk of Imperial troops landed aboard the modified rock 44 Thoosa. The controlled landing of the asteroid was nonetheless a devastating impact, wiping out much of Ullanor's capital of Gorkogrod. The Imperial invaders operated in five attack groups: the main strike force of the new Imperial Fists and Sisters of Silence led by Thane, a Mechanicum army led by Magos Gerg Zhokuv, a Last Wall army led by High Marshal Bohemond, the Deathwatch under Watch Commander Asger Warfist and Inquisitor Wienand, and the last operating in space. This was led by the Phalanx itself, manned by the 10th Company and two demi-Companies of Imperial Fists.
帝国对乌兰诺的第三次进攻在非常规战术上有所不同。利用机械教技术，塞恩将一波小行星重新定向到世界上，现在这个世界上有数万亿的欧克。然而，尽管大多数小行星摧毁了行星的一部分，破坏了轨道防御或被拦截，但大部分帝国军队还是通过改造的岩石44图萨登陆。尽管如此，这颗小行星的受控着陆仍是一次毁灭性的撞击，摧毁了乌兰诺的首都戈尔科格罗德的大部分地区。帝国入侵者分为五个攻击小队：由塞恩领导的新帝国之拳和寂静修女的主要打击力量，由贤者格尔格·茹科夫领导的机械教军队，由至高元帅博希蒙德领导的最终高墙军队，由守望指挥官阿斯格·战拳和审判官维南德领导的死亡守望，以及最后一支在太空作战的军队。这是由山阵号本身领导的，由第10连队和两个帝国之拳半连组成。
With much of the Ork settlements on Ullanor annihilated by the Imperial asteroid attack, the invaders faced a more straight forward but nonetheless desperate battle against massive Ork hordes. However the purpose of four of the five attack groups was to simply keep the Orks from overrunning the last led by Thane which was driving on The Beast's Gargant-palace at the center of Gorkogrod. The Imperial fists had three remaining captured Ork psykers, one of which was used to annihilate the Ork hordes remaining around the palace and another being lost during a firefight. In space, the Imperial forces also took heavy losses, and the Phalanx itself was boarded by Greenskins.
由于帝国小行星袭击摧毁了乌兰诺上的大部分欧克定居点，入侵者面临着一场更直接但仍然绝望的与庞大的欧克部落的战斗。然而，五个攻击小队中有四个的目的只是为了防止欧克超越由塞恩领导的最后一个小队，后者当时正前往戈尔科格罗德中心的野兽的加冈特宫殿。帝国之拳还剩下三名被俘的欧克灵能者，其中一个被用来消灭宫殿周围的欧克部落，另一个在交火中丧生。在太空中，帝国军队也遭受了重大损失，山阵号本身也被绿皮登上了。
After heavy fighting by long-exhausted units, Thane's forces were again able to penetrate the Palace and fight to its central throneroom, decorated with the thrones of the Six Beast Warbosses. Thane and the others were confronted by one of these monsters, which was speculated to be "The Beast of Beasts". After a desperate battle, the ritual on the final captured Ork Psyker led by Knight-Abyssal Kavalanera Brassanas succeeded in wiping out the Greenskins within the Gargant-Palace. The head of The Beast of Beasts exploded, just before it was about to kill Thane.
经过长期疲惫的部队的激烈战斗，塞恩的部队再次能够渗透宫殿，并战斗到装饰着六个野兽战争头目王座的中央王座厅。塞恩和其他人遇到了其中一个怪物，据推测是“野兽中的野兽”。经过一场绝望的战斗，由深渊骑士卡瓦莱涅菈·布拉桑那斯领导的最后被俘的欧克灵能者的仪式成功地消灭了加冈特宫殿内的绿皮。野兽中的野兽的头在即将杀死塞恩之前爆炸了。
Aftermath 余波
In the aftermath of the final effort on Ullanor, the Beast's Waaagh collapsed but thousands of systems remained under threat. Thane and his new Imperial Fists returned to Terra to give their final orders, setting the stage of the Fourth Founding of Space Marines. He named Drakan Vangorich Lord Protector of the Imperium before returning to the Phalanx to engage in a preemptive Crusade against the enemies of mankind for the next century. However after learning that the Mechanicum had disobeyed their order to enact Exterminatus on Ullanor in hopes of acquiring Greenskin technology, Vangorich had decided that the incompetent High Lords represented too severe a threat to the survival of mankind to be left to their own devices.
在对乌兰诺的最后一次努力之后，野兽的Waaagh崩溃了，但数千个星系仍然受到威胁。塞恩和他的新帝国之拳回到泰拉下达最后的命令，为星际战士的第四次建军奠定了基础。他任命德拉坎·万戈里奇为帝国的护国公，然后回到山阵号，在下个世纪对人类之敌进行先发制人的远征。然而，在得知机械教为了获得绿皮技术而违反了他们在乌兰诺上执行灭绝令的命令后，万戈里奇决定，无能的高领主对人类的生存构成了太大的威胁，不能任其自生自灭。
Thus the most immediate effect of the war was The Beheading, which saw Vangorich launch a coup that eliminated all of the High Lords save Wienand. For the next hundred years Vangorich ruled the Imperium as a tyrant, but one who was fairly effective in his role. Terra was refortified, new Space Marine chapters founded, and the last remnants of The Beast were swept away. However after 80 years of stable rule Vangorich began to go mad, which eventually forced Thane to lead a coalition of Space Marine Chapters to put him down.
因此，战争最直接的影响是斩首，万戈里奇发动政变，消灭了除维南德之外的所有高领主。在接下来的一百年里，范戈里奇以暴君的身份统治着帝国，但他在这个角色上相当有效。泰拉被重新加固，新的星际战士战团成立，野兽的最后残余被一扫而空。然而，在80年的稳定统治之后，万戈里奇开始发疯，这最终迫使塞恩领导一个星际战士战团联盟将他打倒。
Many other structural reforms accompanied the end of the war. The Inquisition created the Ordo Xenos and Ordo Malleus, the Captain-General of the Adeptus Custodes joined the High Lords, and the position of Lord Commander of the Imperium abolished. The Imperial Fists no longer remained on Terra, instead committing themselves to a never-ending Crusade against the enemies of Man.
许多其他结构性改革伴随着战争的结束。审判庭创建了攘外修会和圣锤修会，禁军修会的禁军元帅加入了高领主，帝国领主指挥官的职位被废除。帝国之拳不再留在泰拉上，而是致力于对人类之敌进行无休止的远征。
