The First Pacification of Luna saw the complete subjugation of Terra's moon, Luna, by the early Legiones Astartes. The first true battle of the Great Crusade, the subjugation of Luna allowed the Emperor to use its advanced genetics facilities to mass-produce His Space Marines.

第一次月球平定见证了早期阿斯塔特军团对泰拉的卫星月球的完全征服。大远征的第一场真正的战役，月球的征服，使帝皇能够利用其先进的遗传学设施大规模生产他的星际战士。

Prelude 序曲

Being the first battle the Legiones Astartes fought outside of Terran skies, it was launched while the Unification Wars on Earth itself were still coming to a conclusion. The forces of the Emperor had already made great headway on Terra's surface, though the forces of the stubborn Cardinal Tang still held a number of fortress zones and enclaves.

作为阿斯塔特军团在泰拉天空之外进行的第一场战斗，它是在地球上的统一战争尚未结束时发动的。帝皇的军队已经在泰拉地表上取得了巨大的进展，尽管顽固的红衣主教唐的军队仍然控制着一些要塞区和飞地。

At this point, Luna was dominated by the Selenar gene-cults which believed that human nature was fractal, fractured, and transcendent. To them, the true nature of mankind was visible in the flesh and mind of the individual, but that each person was an echo of archetypes that persisted throughout human existence. The cults were extremely ancient, having existed in many forms since the dawn of humanity. They had become the rulers of Luna during the Age of Strife, and were led by women who would clone themselves to make scientific advancements which required several lifetimes for research. Each cult clung to a different set of archetypes: some represented as anthropomorphic figures, some as numbers, and some simply as symbols. These fanatical cults were nonetheless capable gene-forgers and geneticists who operated out of massive subterranean laboratories the Emperor coveted for His own plan to mass produce His Adeptus Astartes. However, the Selenar were united in their view of the Emperor as only the latest incarnation of a long line of male, short-sighted tyrants, and refused to work with the Imperium.

在这一点上，月球被赛琳娜基因教派所主导，他们认为人类本性是分形的、破碎的、卓越的。对他们来说，人类的真实本性在个人的血肉和思维中是可见的，但每个人都是贯穿人类存在的原型的回响。教派极其古老，自人类诞生以来就以多种形式存在。在纷争时代，她们成为了月球的统治者，由克隆自己的女性领导，以取得科学进步，这需要几辈子的研究。每个教派都坚持一套不同的原型：一些被表现为拟人化的人物，一些被表现成数字，还有一些被简单地表现为符号。尽管如此，这些狂热的教派仍然是有能力的基因铸造者和遗传学家，他们在帝皇觊觎的为了他自己计划大规模生产他的阿斯塔特的大型地下实验室里运作。然而，赛琳娜教派一致认为帝皇只是一长串目光短浅的男性暴君的最新化身，并拒绝与帝国合作。

War 战争

After failing subdue and control the gene-cults diplomatically, the Emperor turned to a military option. The final straw came when the gene-cults returned one of the Emperor's emissaries as a still-screaming soup of fused flesh and metal. The Emperor deployed three Space Marine Legions; the VII Legion, XIII Legion, and the XVI Legion, each far smaller than it would be during the Great Crusade.

在外交上征服和控制基因教派失败后，帝皇转向了军事选项。最后一根稻草是当基因教派把帝皇的一位特使以混杂着血肉与金属的嘶吼打扮送回。帝皇部署了三支星际战士军团；第七军团、第十三军团和第十六军团，每个军团都比大远征期间小得多。

Legion XVI acted as the force's vanguard, launching itself towards Luna from Earth-based rockets. This vanguard was commanded by Praetor Maral Lupus, "the White Wolf". Behind them came smaller waves from the VIIth and XIIIth Legions. The formidable ground based defenses on the surface of Luna controlled by the gene-cults opened fire. The Emperor used Legions VII and XIII as distractions, allowing Legion XVI to land assault craft unnoticed. The Astartes quickly moved into the gene-cults underground complexes, battling half-machine genetic monstrosities. These initial positions fell within seconds, with the hundred or so cultists inside dead before even realizing they were under direct assault. The Astartes disabled the cultists' orbital defenses from inside, allowing Legions VII and XIII to land and begin a systematic annihilation of all their remaining resistance. The battle only lasted six hours before all resistance on Luna crumbled. The surviving gene-cultists surrendered, begging that the Emperor "call off his wolves". The now-humbled gene-crafters of Luna would be granted mercy, but were enslaved by the Emperor for His own plans.

第十六军团充当了部队的先锋，从基于地球的火箭向月球发射。这支先锋队由执政官“白狼”马拉尔·卢普斯指挥。在他们身后是来自第七军团和第十三军团的小浪。由基因教派控制的月球表面强大的地面防御系统开火了。帝皇利用第七军团和第十三军团作为干扰，让第十六军团在无人注意的情况下以突击艇登陆。阿斯塔特迅速进入基因教派的地下建筑群，与半机械基因怪物战斗。这些最初的阵地在几秒钟内就倒下了，里面有大约一百名教徒在意识到自己受到直接攻击之前就已经死亡。阿斯塔特从内部摧毁了教徒的轨道防御，使第七和第十三军团得以登陆，并开始系统地消灭他们所有剩余的抵抗力量。这场战斗只持续了六个小时，月球上的所有抵抗都崩溃了。幸存的基因教派教徒投降了，乞求帝皇“召回他的狼”。现在谦卑的月球基因工匠将获得怜悯，但为了帝皇的计划被他奴役。

Aftermath 余波

From the moment of their surrender, however, the Selenar would continue to oppose the Emperor in other ways: In an act of spite, the ruling Matriarch Heliosa-54 ordered one of her followers to hide the extremely powerful Magna Mater from the Imperium during the First Pacification and then deleted her memories; thus the Imperium did not acquire all of the Selenar research. Later on, the Selenar effectively poisoned the III Legion with a disease known as "the Blight". This opposition led the Imperium to purge the Selenar in another campaign; much of what remained of the cults sided with the traitors during the Horus Heresy.

然而，从他们投降的那一刻起，赛琳娜教派继续以其他方式对抗帝皇：在第一次平定期间，执政的女族长赫利奥萨-54出于恶意命令她的一名追随者向帝国隐瞒这位极其强大的伟大之母，然后删除了她的记忆；因此，帝国并没有获得赛琳娜教派的所有研究。后来，赛琳娜教派用一种被称为“枯萎病”的疾病有效地毒害了第三军团。这种对抗导致帝国在另一场战役中清洗赛琳娜教派；在荷鲁斯叛乱时期，教派的大部分残余都站在叛徒一边。
