A Black Crusade is an incursion that is formed when the usually disparate forces of Chaos unite under a particularly strong Chaos Champion and go forth en masse to wage war against the Imperium of Man.
黑色远征是一种入侵，当通常不同的混沌部队在一个特别强大的混沌冠军的领导下团结起来，集体向人类帝国发动战争时形成。
Overview 概述
Following the devastating events of the Horus Heresy, the Imperium began the Great Scouring, a campaign to cast out all traitors who had sided with Chaos and drove them into the warp storm known as the Eye of Terror. There, the followers of Chaos began to fight among each other for domination and territory and their vast armies eventually fractured.
在荷鲁斯叛乱的毁灭性事件之后，帝国开始了大清洗，这是一场驱逐所有支持混沌的叛徒并将他们推入被称为恐惧之眼的亚空间风暴的战役。在那里，混沌的追随者开始为争夺统治权和领土而相互争斗，他们庞大的军队最终分崩离析。
Even so, the threat the exiles posed was far from gone. To this day they seek to overthrow the Imperium, launching separate raids and invasions against it. Once or twice within a millennium however, an exceptional Chaos Champion rises who is strong enough to bring his fellow warlords and their hosts under his sway. When this happens ancient rivalries are set aside and uneasy alliances are forged, clearing the way for what is called a Black Crusade.
即便如此，流亡者构成的威胁远未消除。直到今天，他们仍试图推翻帝国，对帝国发动单独的突袭和入侵。然而，在一千年内，有一两次，一位非凡的混沌冠军崛起，他足够强大，能够将他的军阀同僚及其天军置于他的统治之下。当这种情况发生时，古老的较量被搁置一边，不稳定的联盟被建立起来，为所谓的黑色远征扫清了道路。
The forces and fleets that gather for a Black Crusade are made up of all types of Chaos servants: the multitudinous hordes of the Lost and the Damned, ancient and towering Chaos Titans, the bizarre war machines of the Dark Mechanicum and the Daemons of the warp. Leading them into the realm of man are the vengeful warbands of the Chaos Space Marines.
聚集在一起进行黑色远征的部队和舰队由各种类型的混沌之仆组成：迷失者和被诅咒者的众多部落，古老而高耸的混沌泰坦，黑暗机械教的奇异战争机器和亚空间的恶魔。带领他们进入人类领域的是混沌星际战士的复仇战帮。
When the crusade is launched, whole worlds fall prey to the rampaging hordes and the Dark Gods themselves divert their attention to the material realm, delighting in the sacrifices made in their names. Still, the nature of Chaos is fickle and unless it is repelled by the defenders, the crusade is bound to splinter into separate hosts and warbands who pursue their own ambitions.
当远征开始时，整个世界都成为狂暴的部落的牺牲品，黑暗诸神自己将注意力转移到物质领域，为以他们的名义做出的祭祀感到高兴。尽管如此，混沌的性质是变化无常的，除非被防御者击退，否则远征必然会分裂成追求自己野心的不同的天军和战帮。
The Black Crusades of Abaddon the Despoiler 掠夺者阿巴顿的黑色远征
The most infamous Black Crusades are those led by Abaddon the Despoiler, Warmaster of the Black Legion and successor to Horus. So far, he has led thirteen such attacks, which ranged from small raids to battles that spanned entire sectors. His latest Black Crusade, the Thirteenth, has succeeded in destroying Cadia.
最著名的黑色远征是由掠夺者阿巴顿领导的，他是黑色军团的战帅，也是荷鲁斯的继任者。到目前为止，他已经领导了13次这样的袭击，从小型突袭到跨越整个星区的战斗。他最近的第十三次黑色远征成功摧毁了卡迪亚。
Paths of the first twelve Black Crusades. The 13th Black Crusade was a massive invasion of the sectors surrounding the Cadian Gate 前十二次黑色远征的路径。第十三次黑色远征是对卡迪亚之门周围星区的大规模入侵
The Black Crusaders of Abaddon have a secret and even more sinister purpose. Throughout the Millennia he has identified ancient monoliths holding back the tides of the Warp. Using his Black Crusades to sometimes conceal his true objective, Abaddon has targeted and destroyed many of these structures as part of a plan known as the Crimson Path. The ultimate objective of Abaddon's Black Crusades is to expand the Eye of Terror to envelop Terra itself.
阿巴顿的黑色远征有一个秘密，甚至更险恶的目的。在整个千年中，他发现了阻碍亚空间潮汐的古代巨石。阿巴顿有时会利用他的黑色远征来掩盖他的真实目标，作为深红之路计划的一部分，他瞄准并摧毁了许多这些结构。阿巴顿的黑色远征的最终目标是扩大恐惧之眼，以包围泰拉本身。
