Isstvan III was a Hive World in the Isstvan system. Its destruction and the surrounding circumstances were the first overt signs of Warmaster Horus's turn to the forces of Chaos and the first battle of the Horus Heresy.
伊斯塔万三号是伊斯塔万星系中的巢都世界。它的毁灭和周围的境遇是战帅荷鲁斯转向混沌势力和荷鲁斯叛乱的第一场战斗的第一个明显迹象。
Having been founded sometime during the Dark Age of Technology and spared many of the horrors of the Age of Strife, Isstvan III was originally assimilated into the Imperium by the Raven Guard during the Great Crusade. The Raven Guard swiftly conquered the planet, attacking from orbit at night and destroying most of its limited military capabilities in one swoop. By the time dawn rose on the Hive of Khry Vanak, Isstvan III's capital, the planetary leadership and military capability had been bombed into ruin. Aftewards, the administration of the Imperium moved in the wake of the Astartes and rebuilt the planet along the lines of the Imperial Truth.
伊斯塔万三号建立于黑暗技术时代的某个时候,并避免了纷争时代的许多恐怖,最初在大远征期间被暗鸦守卫同化入帝国。暗鸦守卫迅速征服了行星,在夜间从轨道上发动攻击,一举摧毁了其大部分有限军事能力。当伊斯塔万三号的首都赫里·瓦纳克巢都的黎明升起时,行星的领导层和军事能力已经被炸成废墟。此后,帝国政府在阿斯塔特之后采取了行动,按照帝国真理的路线重建了这个行星。
Baron Vardus Praal, Imperial governor of the Isstvan system, eventually rose in revolt against the Imperium, purging Imperial elements for as long as six years before word of the rebellion reached the Council of Terra. The Emperor of Mankind and the Council, ignorant of the change in Horus, charged the Warmaster with crushing this rebellion. Under his command were four Space Marine Legions; his own Sons of Horus, the Emperor's Children of Fulgrim, Mortarion and his Death Guard, and the World Eaters led by Angron. Horus and these Primarchs had fallen to Chaos and took this opportunity to purge all suspected loyalists from their Legions.
伊斯塔万星系的帝国总督瓦杜斯·普拉尔男爵最终叛乱对抗帝国,在叛乱的消息传到泰拉议会之前,他清除了帝国成员长达六年之久。人类帝皇和议会,不知道荷鲁斯的变化,要求战帅粉碎这场叛乱。在他的指挥下,有四个星际战士军团;他自己的荷鲁斯之子、福格瑞姆的帝皇之子、莫塔里安和他的死亡守卫,以及由安格隆领导的吞世者。荷鲁斯和这些原体已经堕入混沌,并借此机会将所有疑似的忠诚派从军团中清除。
The planned first wave, all suspected loyalists, deployed by Drop pods upon the Choral City, the capital of the planet. Not using the traditional Stormbirds and cutting their communication lines to the fleet, Horus tried to ensure that none of them would survive the massive virus bombardment. Captain Saul Tarvitz of the Emperor's Children, working on a hunch, had managed to remain in the fleet, where he discovered the planned bombardment and commandeered a Thunderhawk to save his betrayed brethren. Thanks to Tarvitz's warning, a few hundred loyal Space Marines managed to survive inside airtight bunkers and bomb shelters. As the putrid gases resulting from the rapidly decaying organic matter filled the atmosphere, Horus ignited a firestorm on the planet which melted the hives and razed the cities across the world. The psychic death scream of the twelve billion is said to have been louder than the Astronomican.
计划中的第一波,都是疑似的忠诚派,由空投舱部署在行星首都圣歌城。荷鲁斯没有使用传统的风暴鸟,并切断他们与舰队的通信线路,他试图确保他们都无法在大规模的病毒轰炸中幸存下来。帝皇之子的索尔·塔维茨连长凭直觉设法留在舰队,在那里他发现了计划中的轰炸,并征用了一架雷鹰来拯救他被背叛的兄弟。多亏了塔维茨的警告,几百名忠诚派星际战士设法在密闭的掩体和防空洞中幸存下来。随着快速腐烂的有机物产生的腐烂气体充满大气层,荷鲁斯在行星上引发了一场大火,烧毁了巢都,夷平了世界各地的城市。据说120亿人的灵能死亡尖啸比星炬还要大声。
Despite this, many loyalists of the four Legions managed to survive, and an enraged Angron, acting against Horus's orders, led his Legion to the surface to slaughter the survivors. Horus, trying to salvage the situation, sent detachments of all his Legions to slay the Loyalists. The Loyalists, fighting tenaciously, turned the planned slaughter into a full-scale battle. Under the command of Captains Garviel Loken and Tarik Torgaddon of the Sons of Horus (redubbed the Luna Wolves), Saul Tarvitz of the Emperor's Children, and Ehrlen of the World Eaters, the loyalists were able to mount a surprising defence in the ruins of the capital city. Ultimately, the Loyalists were crushed, in part to Lucius's betrayal and the orbital bombardment of the Choral City, but made Horus pay dearly. The battle lasted for three months and inflicted huge losses upon the traitors. It was a Pyrrhic victory at best. While the battle raged upon the planet, a handful of loyalists led by Captain Nathaniel Garro of the Death Guard managed to commandeer the frigate Eisenstein and fled to warn the Emperor of Horus's betrayal.
尽管如此,四个军团的许多忠诚者还是设法幸存下来,愤怒的安格隆违背荷鲁斯的命令,带领他的军团前往地表屠杀幸存者。荷鲁斯试图挽救局面,派遣了他所有军团的分遣队去杀死忠诚者。忠诚者顽强地战斗,将计划中的屠杀变成了一场全面的战斗。在荷鲁斯之子的加维尔·洛肯和塔里克·托加顿连长(改编为影月苍狼)、帝皇之子的索尔·塔维茨和吞世者的埃尔伦的指挥下,忠诚者能够在首都的废墟中进行令人惊讶的防御。最终,忠诚者被击溃,部分原因是卢修斯的背叛和对圣歌城的轨道轰炸,但这让荷鲁斯付出了沉重的代价。这场战斗持续了三个月,给叛徒造成了巨大损失。这充其量是一场得不偿失的胜利。当这场战斗在行星上肆虐时,由死亡守卫连长纳撒尼尔·伽罗领导的少数忠诚者设法夺取了护卫舰爱森斯坦号,并逃离去警告帝皇关于荷鲁斯的背叛。
Isstvan III would remain a barren, quarantined world. However, millenia after the sole survivor of the original atrocity, the Dreadnought Rylanor, enacted his revenge. Using a sonic beacon to draw Fulgrim to the world, Rylanor detonated an unexploded Virus Bomb. Once again Isstvan III was scoured of whatever life had redeveloped over the millennia, but Fulgrim managed to survive.
伊斯塔万三号仍然是一个贫瘠、被隔离的世界。然而,在最初暴行的唯一幸存者的数千年后,无畏瑞兰诺,实施了他的复仇。瑞兰诺使用声波信标将福格瑞姆吸引到世界,引爆了一枚未爆炸的病毒炸弹。伊斯塔万三号再次被清除了数千年来重新发展的任何生命,但Fulgrim设法幸存下来。
