Espandor is a Cardinal World of the Imperium of Man. It is part of the realm of Ultramar and so falls under the control of the Ultramarines.
埃斯潘多是人类帝国的枢机世界。它是奥特拉玛王国的一部分，因此受极限战士的控制。
A heavily forested world, its major cities are confined to the westernmost of its two continents, with remote agri-complexes scattered about its surface. It is one of the more distant worlds from Macragge and the least-densely populated.
这是一个森林茂密的世界，其主要城市仅限于两大洲的最西端，偏远的农业建筑群散布在其表面。它是距离马库拉格较远的世界之一，也是人口密度最低的世界之一。
History 历史
According to legend, the original settlers of Espandor were the descendants of explorers from Macragge during the Age of Strife, their vessels blown off-course and left stranded on the planet by a Warp Storm. With the organization of Ultramar and the start of the Great Crusade, Espandor would become one of many worlds to supply raw resources and recruits to the creation and upkeep of the Ultramarines Legion.
据传说，埃斯潘多的原初定居者是纷争时代马库拉格探索者的后代，他们的战舰被亚空间风暴吹离航线，搁浅在行星上。随着奥特拉玛的组织和大远征的开始，埃斯潘多将成为为创建和维护极限战士军团提供原材料和新兵的众多世界之一。
Espandor began its life in the Imperium as a lush Agri-World and the breadbasket of Ultramar's Eastern Marches. Its atmosphere was governed by ancient technologies that controlled its weather patterns. The greatest factory-city during this time was the Boreaus Agri-Sprawl.
埃斯潘多在帝国开始了它的生活，作为一个郁郁葱葱的农业世界，也是奥特拉马东部边区的粮仓。它的大气层是由控制其天气模式的古代技术所控制的。这一时期最大的工厂城市是博瑞斯农业扩区。
At the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, Espandor was attacked by the World Eaters. It was later the site of a large battle between Titans during the Horus Heresy.
荷鲁斯叛乱爆发时，埃斯潘多遭到了吞世者的袭击。后来，在荷鲁斯叛乱时期，泰坦在这里进行了一场大规模的战斗。
Cleansing of Espandor 清洗埃斯潘多
After the First Tyrannic War, local militia discovered a Tyranid nest located deep within the forest. Feeding off of the nearby communities, it was growing stronger every day, and would soon reach a critical mass of population. Hearing this report, Marneus Calgar determined that the cleansing of Espandor would be the first trial of the nascent Tyrannic War Veterans. Their success or failure would determine whether these specialized formations would be recognized as part of the Codex Astartes.
第一次泰伦战争后，当地民兵在森林深处发现了一个泰伦巢穴。它以附近的社区为食，每天都在增长，很快就会达到临界人口数量。听到这个报告，马涅乌斯·卡尔加决定清洗埃斯潘多，是对新生的泰伦战争老兵的第一次试炼。它们的成功或失败将决定这些特殊编队是否被视为阿斯塔特圣典的一部分。
Chaplain Ortan Cassius, Captain Severus Agemman and several squads made planetfall near Konor's Reach, one of the largest agri-complexes on the planet serving as a safe haven for the populace. Using auspices specially-modified to track Tyranid pheromone trails, the Ultramarines were able to track the beasts over many miles until they discovered their nest, a giant bio-organic structure serving as the main hive. They were immediately set upon by the vicious creatures, but with disciplined Flamer and Heavy Bolter fire the Ultramarines drove them back into the hive. Within the heart of the hive they discovered a wounded leader-beast, its crippled body having prevented the Tyranids from spreading further across the planet. The Ultramarines fought their way through its fierce bodyguards, and Captain Agemman himself slew the leader-beast, ending its threat to the planet. Not a single warrior had been lost during the operation, thanks to previous experience learned fighting the Tyranids, and the hive and surrounding area would be cleansed of the xenos' taint by sustained orbital bombardment. With the success of their mission, the Tyrannic War Veterans would be formally incorporated into the Codex Astartes.
奥坦·卡西乌斯牧师、西弗勒斯·阿格曼连长和几个小队在康诺河段附近进行了行星着陆，这是行星上最大的农业建筑群之一，为民众提供了一个安全的避风港。通过使用经过特殊改装的鸟卜仪来追踪泰伦信息素踪迹，极限战士能够追踪这些野兽数英里，直到他们发现了它们的巢穴，这是一个巨大的生物有机结构，是主虫巢。他们立即被凶猛的生物袭击，但凭借有纪律的火焰枪和重型爆矢枪的火力，极限战士将它们赶回了虫巢。在虫巢的中心，他们发现了一只受伤的野兽领袖，它残废的身体阻止了泰伦在行星上进一步传播。极限战士通过其凶猛的护卫奋力前行，阿格曼连长亲自杀死了这头野兽领袖，结束了它对行星的威胁。由于之前与泰伦作战的经验，行动中没有一名战士丧生，持续的轨道轰炸将清除虫巢和周围地区的异型的污染。随着任务的成功，泰伦战争老兵将被正式纳入阿斯塔特圣典。
The Espandor Incursion 埃斯潘多入侵
In 999.M41, the Ultramarines 4th Company led by Sergeant Learchus Abantes and Chaplain Judd Clausel took twenty-five newly recruited Battle Brothers on their first engagement; an investigation of the lost patrol ship Guilliman's Honour. What was a routine mission became much more when the 4th Company encountered a huge Ork Waaagh!, equipped with an enormous gargant. Lord Admiral Lazlo Tiberius and the Strike Cruiser Vae Victus made a good account of themselves, however the fighting on the ground was close, bloody and bitter, with Dreadnought Barkus making a heroic sacrifice for the company during the defense of Corinth.
999.M41，由军士莱尔库斯·阿班特斯和牧师贾德·克劳塞尔领导的极限战士第四连队在第一次交战中带走了25名新招募的战斗兄弟；对失踪的巡逻舰基里曼之荣誉号的调查。原本是一次例行任务，却变得复杂了许多，当第四连队遇到一个巨大的Ork Waaagh!时，配备了一架巨大的加冈特。领主海军上将拉斯洛·提比略和打击巡洋舰败者之哀号表现得很好，但地面上的战斗非常激烈，血腥而痛苦，无畏巴克斯在保卫科林斯期间为连队做出了英勇的牺牲。
The Plague Wars 瘟疫战争
In 109.M42, Plague Marines and other Chaos creatures attacked Espandor. The Prandium 30th Ultramar Auxilia Regiment was among the defenders. Roboute Guilliman eventually launched his Spear of Espandor counterattack that retook the planet.
109.M42，瘟疫战士和其他混沌生物袭击了埃斯潘多。普兰迪姆奥特拉玛辅助军第30兵团是守军之一。罗伯特·基里曼最终发起了他的埃斯潘多之矛反击，夺回了行星。
