The Battle of Calth was a major battle of the Horus Heresy, in which the Word Bearers Traitor Legion attempted to exterminate the Ultramarines Legion, on the orders of Warmaster Horus, who anticipated that Guilliman, the Ultramarines' Primarch, would not join his rebellion against the Emperor.
考斯之战是荷鲁斯叛乱的一场重大战斗，在这场战斗中，怀言者叛徒军团试图根据战帅荷鲁斯的命令消灭极限战士军团，战帅荷鲁斯预计极限战士军团的原体基里曼不会加入他对帝皇的叛乱。

Early Events 早期事件
During the Great Crusade, approximately forty years before the Heresy, the Emperor of Mankind rebuked the Word Bearers and their primarch, Lorgar Aurelian, for fostering idolatrous worship of the Emperor, and for violent atrocities against those who were slow to adopt their beliefs. As an object lesson, the Emperor ordered Guilliman and the Ultramarines to raze the city of Monarchia, the Word Bearers' proudest achievement, to the ground. He then forced Lorgar and his entire Legion to kneel in the city's ashes before him, Guilliman, and Malcador the Sigillite. These events sent Lorgar down a dark path that would eventually lead him to swear allegiance to Warmaster Horus Lupercal and the Gods of Chaos, and set the entire Word Bearers Legion in a vendetta against the Ultramarines. While Lorgar undoubtedly was motivated against the Ultramarines on a personal level, he had earlier been told by Fateweaver that killing Guilliman would ultimately doom the Traitors cause.
在大远征期间，大约在叛乱之前四十年，人类帝皇批评怀言者及其原体珞珈·奥瑞利安，因为他们助长了对帝皇的盲目崇拜，并对那些迟迟不接受自己信仰的人实施了强烈暴行。作为一个客观的教训，帝皇命令基里曼和极限战士将摩纳齐亚城夷为平地，这是怀言者最自豪的成就。然后，他强迫珞珈和他的整个军团在城市的灰烬中跪在他、基里曼和掌印者马卡多面前。这些事件使珞珈走上了一条黑暗的道路，最终导致他宣誓效忠战帅荷鲁斯·卢佩卡尔和混沌诸神，并让整个怀言者军团对极限战士展开复仇。虽然珞珈无疑是在个人层面上反对极限战士的，但织命者早些时候告诉他，杀死基里曼最终将毁灭叛徒事业。
After the massacres of loyalist forces at Isstvan III and V, and having gained the allegiance of Lorgar and the other Traitor Primarchs, Horus believed that the Ultramarines - the largest of all the Space Marine Legions - were the last and only significant obstacle to his total victory over the Emperor.
在伊斯塔万三号和五号的忠诚派部队遭到屠杀后，荷鲁斯获得了珞珈和其他叛徒原体的忠诚，他认为，极限战士 — 所有星际战士军团中最大的一支 — 是他彻底战胜帝皇的最后也是唯一的重大障碍。
The Battle 战斗
The Setting 背景
Horus ordered Guilliman to gather the majority of his Legion at Calth, one of the many planets in the Ultramar Coalition. The ostensible reason for this order was an anticipated incursion by Orks in the Veridian System. As if the muster of the Ultramarines was not enough, Horus ordered that the Word Bearers would go into battle alongside the Ultramarines.
荷鲁斯命令基里曼将他的大部分军团聚集在考斯，这是奥特拉玛联合体中的众多行星之一。这一命令的表面原因是欧克在维里迪安星系中的预期入侵。好像极限战士的聚集还不够，荷鲁斯命令怀言者将与极限战士并肩作战。
Some of the more cynical Ultramarines, including Guilliman himself, guessed that the operation was more a political exercise than a real war: Horus, the newly-appointed Warmaster, wanted to demonstrate his authority by issuing an order to the largest of all the Space Marine Legions, and give the recently-disfavored Word Bearers a chance to gain some reflected glory by fighting alongside the Ultramarines.
包括基里曼本人在内的一些怀疑的极限战士猜测，这次行动与其说是一场真正的战争，不如说是一次政治演习：新任命的战帅荷鲁斯希望通过向所有星际战士军团中最大的一支发出命令来展示他的权威，并让最近不受欢迎的怀言者有机会通过与极限战士并肩作战来获得一些荣耀。
Guilliman was ignorant of Horus' treachery, and obeyed his brother's order without question, mustering twenty of the Legion's twenty-two chapters at Calth.
基里曼对荷鲁斯的背叛一无所知，毫无疑问地服从了他兄弟的命令，在考斯召集了军团的二十二个战团中的二十个。
Opening Moves 开幕
Later analyses of the Battle would criticize that there were plenty of signs warning of the Word Bearers' intentions, but the Ultramarines, for all their martial prowess, failed to notice them. The Ultramarines were simply unprepared for the novelty of fighting against a brother Legion, especially one that based its strategy on manipulating the forces of the Empyrean. Lorgar took full advantage of this blindness.
后来对这场战斗的分析会批评说，有很多迹象警告了怀言者的意图，但极限战士，尽管他们的军事实力很强，却没有注意到他们。极限战士根本没有准备好与兄弟军团的新奇战斗，尤其是一个以操纵帝国军队为战略基础的军团。珞珈充分利用了这种缺失。
Approximately one hundred thirty-six hours before Mark Zero, (the official start of the Battle, by the Ultramarines' reckoning), the Word Bearers boarded the fleet tender Campanile and massacred its crew in the outlying reaches of the Veridian system.
在零点标记（根据极限战士的计算，这是战斗的正式开始）前大约136个小时，怀言者登上了舰队补给舰钟楼号，并在维里迪安星系的偏远地区屠杀了船员。
The Word Bearers began to arrive in-system at around Mark -1.24.00, docking their fleet with Calth's orbital shipyards and deploying ground forces – including Legionnaires, human auxiliaries, and Titans – to the surface of Calth, presumably to await embarkation alongside the Ultramarines.
在标记-1.24.00左右，怀言者开始进入星系，将他们的舰队与考斯的轨道造船厂对接，并将地面部队（包括军团士兵、人类辅助军和泰坦）部署到考斯表面，大概是为了等待与极限战士一起登船。
Sixty hours before Mark Zero, the Word Bearers and their cultist soldiers commenced the first of their Chaos rituals, which would cause havoc across the planet. The Ultramarines picked up the sounds of chanting over the vox, but dismissed them as solar flare distortion. Likewise, nearly all of the Ultramarines' lapsed psykers, who had been redeployed to ordinary tactical places after the Emperor's Decree at the Council of Nikaea, began experiencing headaches. Since the Emperor had forbidden the use of their psychic abilities, they dismissed the sensations as fatigue, and did not mention them to their superiors, or even to each other.
在零点标记之前的60小时，怀言者和他们的邪教徒士兵开始了他们的第一次混沌仪式，这将在整个行星上造成严重破坏。极限战士在音阵上听到了吟唱的声音，但将其视为太阳耀斑的扭曲而不予理会。同样，几乎所有在尼凯亚会议上根据帝皇的法令被重新部署到普通战术位置的极限战士失效灵能者都开始感到头痛。由于帝皇禁止使用他们的灵能能力，他们将这种感觉视为疲劳，也没有向上级甚至彼此提及。
At around Mark -16.44.00, Magos Uhl Kehal Hesst noticed a foreign scrapcode infesting the cogitators controlling Calth's orbital defence network. The source of this scrapcode was a Chaos ritual being conducted in secret at the camp of the Word Bearers' auxiliaries, The Brotherhood of the Knife. This ritually-produced scrapcode, known as the Octed, was finally implanted at Mark -7.55.09.
大约在标记-16.44.00，贤者乌尔·凯哈尔·赫斯特注意到一个陌生的废码感染了控制考斯轨道防御网络的沉思者。这个废码的来源是在怀言者的辅助军刀锋兄弟会的营地秘密进行的混沌仪式。这个仪式上产生的废码，被称为八芒，最终在标记-7.55.09被植入。
Approximately one hour before Mark Zero, First Chaplain Erebus arrived by teleport on the Satric Plateau, north of Numinus City, to commence a dark ritual.
在零点标记之前大约一小时，第一牧师艾瑞巴斯通过传送抵达纽米纳斯城以北的萨特里克高原，开始了一场黑暗的仪式。
Assault 攻击
Twenty minutes before Mark Zero, the Campanile, which had bypassed Calth's outer defence grid, accelerated to full sub-light velocity. At the same time, Sorot Tchure, a Captain of the Word Bearers who had boarded the Ultramarines' cruiser Samothrace, opened fire on Captain Honorius Luciel and his entourage, killing them outright. Luciel and his seventeen men were regarded by many as the first "official" casualties of the Battle of Calth.
在零点标记前20分钟，绕过考斯外部防御网的钟楼号加速到亚光速。与此同时，登上极限战士巡洋舰萨莫色雷斯号的怀言者连长索罗特·丘尔向霍诺留斯·卢西尔连长及其随行人员开火，将他们彻底杀害。卢西尔和他的17名部下被许多人视为考斯之战中第一批“官方”伤亡。
The Campanile streaked into Calth's primary shipyard like an enormous missile, annihilating numerous warships and killing thousands in less than two seconds. The impact unleashed a massive electromagnetic pulse that disabled the majority of the remaining ships and, in conjunction with the scrapcode attack, also disabled Calth's weapons grid. Ten seconds after the Campanile's murderous journey, the Word Bearers' fleet opened fire on the Ultramarines' disabled ships, destroying them at will. Enormous pieces of the destroyed ships and space stations fell to Calth's surface, causing devastating explosions and tsunamis. Believing they were under attack, the Ultramarines and their Army auxiliaries naturally sought to link up with their counterparts from the Word Bearers, and were massacred as their once-brothers opened fire on them. The Ultramarines of the 111th and 112th Companies were among the first to be slaughtered.
钟楼号像一枚巨大的导弹一样冲进了考斯的主要造船厂，在不到两秒钟的时间里摧毁了许多战舰，杀死了数千人。这次撞击释放了一个巨大的电磁脉冲，使大多数剩余的舰船失效，并与废码攻击相结合，也使考斯的武器系统网络失效。在钟楼号的杀戮之旅结束10秒后，怀言者的舰队向极限战士的失能舰船开火，随意摧毁了它们。被摧毁的舰船和空间站的巨大碎片掉到了考斯的表面，造成了毁灭性的爆炸和海啸。由于相信自己受到了攻击，极限战士和他们的辅助军自然地试图与怀言者的同行建立联系，并在他们曾经的兄弟向他们开火时被屠杀。第111和第112连队的极限战士是首批被屠杀的人之一。
From the bridge of the disabled flagship Macragge's Honour, Guilliman swiftly deduced that the Word Bearers were opening fire on them, but attributed it to mistake on Lorgar's part. He transmitted urgent pleas for cease-fire, but when Lorgar refused to stop after a direct lithocast communication, Guilliman reluctantly authorized his forces to defend themselves, officially commencing the Battle of Calth at Mark Zero.
基里曼从失能的旗舰马库拉格之耀号的舰桥上迅速推断出，怀言者正在向他们开火，但将其归因于珞珈的错误。他发出了停火的紧急呼吁，但当珞珈在直接的石铸沟通后拒绝停止时，基里曼不情愿地授权他的部队自卫，正式开始了在零点标记的考斯之战。
Prosecution 进行
Tchure and his elite warriors slaughtered the remainder of the Samothrace crew, and, at their signal, Kor Phaeron teleported onto the ship, which they then docked with Calth's primary orbital defence platform. The Word Bearers' fleet, unchallenged, moved into low orbit above Calth's southern hemisphere, and began bombarding it, causing millions of casualties, both Ultramarine and civilian alike.
丘尔和他的精英战士屠杀了萨莫色雷斯号船员的残余，在他们的信号下，科尔·法伦传送到船上，然后他们与考斯的主要轨道防御平台对接。怀言者的舰队没有受到挑战，进入了考斯南半球上空的低轨，并开始轰炸它，造成数百万人伤亡，包括极限战士和平民。
At approximately Mark 1.38.00, Guilliman, who was sifting innumerable pieces of data in an attempt to understand the reasons for the Word Bearers' actions, received notice of the Campanile boarding. Concluding that Lorgar had planned the whole attack, Guilliman rescinded his appeals for cease-fire and instead transmitted his vow to kill his former brother and his entire Legion. Where Guilliman's prior hails had been ignored, it amused Lorgar to respond to this one, explaining with relish that his Legion and others had joined the banner of Warmaster Horus Lupercal in rebellion against the Emperor, already massacred Loyalist forces at Isstvan III and V, and, with the Ultramarines destroyed, there would be no force left that could stop Horus from overthrowing the Emperor. Guilliman barely had time to absorb this shock before Lorgar spoke an incantation, summoning a swarm of daemons that smashed into the Honour bridge, venting it to space. After this, Lorgar left command of the Calth operation to Kor Phaeron, and took the rest of the Word Bearers' force deeper into Ultramar. At Mark 4.55.00, Kor Phaeron and his men had completed the taking over of Calth's weapons grid, and opened fire on the surrounding planets and planetoids in the Veridian system, beginning with the manufactoria asteroid Veridia Forge.
大约在标记1.38.00，基里曼正在筛选无数数据，试图了解怀言者行为的原因，收到了钟楼号登机的通知。基里曼得出结论，珞珈策划了整个袭击，他撤销了停火呼吁，转而宣读了杀死他前兄弟和整个军团的誓言。在基里曼之前的呼吁被忽视的地方，珞珈对这一呼吁的回应很有趣，他津津有味地解释说，他的军团和其他人加入了战帅荷鲁斯·卢佩卡尔的旗帜，反抗帝皇，已经在伊斯塔万三号和五号屠杀了忠诚派部队，而且，随着极限战士的被摧毁，将没有任何力量可以阻止荷鲁斯推翻帝皇。基里曼几乎没有时间吸收这种震惊，珞珈就念了一句咒语，召唤出一群恶魔，砸向马库拉格之耀的舰桥，将其发射到太空中。在此之后，珞珈将考斯行动的指挥权交给了科尔·法伦，并将怀言者的其余部队带到了奥特拉玛的深处。在标记4.55.00，科尔·法伦和他的部下完成了对考斯武器网格的接管，并从制造厂小行星维瑞迪亚熔炉开始，向维里迪安星系中周围的行星和小行星开火。
Engagement 交战
The Word Bearers had achieved complete surprise, and managed to slaughter half or more of the loyalist muster before the latter could begin to react, but had reckoned without the intractable fighting spirit of the Ultramarines.
怀言者取得了完全的出乎意料，并在忠诚者开始反应之前，设法屠杀了一半或更多的忠诚者，但他们没有考虑到极限战士的顽强战斗精神。
Word Bearers Cultists battle the Ultramarines 怀言者邪教徒与极限战士战斗
Captain Remus Ventanus of the 4th Company had escaped the Word Bearers' surprise attack on the Northern Continent by the slimmest of margins, and, while escaping the pursuing Word Bearers, linked up with a group of Skitarii who had been guarding Numinus City's defence cogitators. By good fortune, they were equipped with back-up vox-casters on a separate network, that allowed Ventanus to establish contact with another Captain of the 4th, Lyros Sydance. They coordinated a rendezvous at Leptius Numinus, a former Governor's palace on the Plains of Dera.
第四连队的雷穆斯·文塔努斯连长以微弱的优势逃脱了怀言者对北方大陆的突然袭击，并且在逃离追捕的怀言者的同时，与一群守卫纽米纳斯城防御的沉思者的护教军会合。幸运的是，他们在一个单独的网络上配备了备用的音阵发射器，这使得文塔努斯能够与第四战团的另一位连长莱罗斯·赛丹斯建立联系。他们在德拉平原上的前总督宫殿莱普提乌斯·努米努斯协调了一次会面。
Entrenching themselves at the palace, Ventanus and his men came under attack by the Word Bearers; when informed, Kor Phaeron at first considered it a diversion from the force's primary mission, but the ferocity of the Ultramarines' resistance led him to reconsider and re-task the force's commander, Morpal Cxir, to exterminate them. Fortunately, the palace was equipped with a functioning data-engine, which Magos Hesst's deputy, Meer Edv Tawren was able to activate and use to re-establish auspexes and communications. The Word Bearers attacked in overwhelming numbers, but were held back, until they were ambushed from behind and defeated by the approach of Captain Sydance's force.
文塔努斯和他的部下在宫殿里固守，遭到了怀言者的袭击；接到通知后，科尔·法伦起初认为这是对部队主要任务的转移视线，但极限战士的顽强抵抗促使他重新考虑并重新指派部队指挥官莫帕尔·西尔消灭他们。幸运的是，宫殿配备了一个功能正常的数据引擎，贤者赫斯特的副手米尔·埃德夫·塔乌伦能够激活并使用该引擎重启鸟卜仪和通信。怀言者以压倒性的数量进攻，但被击退，直到他们被从后面伏击并被赛丹斯连长的部队击败。
At Mark 11.06.00, vox contact between the disparate units of Ultramarines all over the planet was finally restored.
在标记11.06.00，行星各地的极限战士不同单位之间的音阵联系终于恢复。
Aboard the Macragge's Honour, First Master Marius Gage was maimed and nearly killed by the daemons overrunning the ship, but was saved by Sergeant Aeonid Thiel, leading an ad hoc party of Ultramarines to cleanse the ship. Thiel had been marked for censure for preparing theoretical combat scenarios that involved Space Marines fighting other Space Marines; this, ironically, made him most able to adapt to the bizarre tactical situation now confronting the Ultramarines. With Gage's approval, he led his party to eliminate the remaining daemons from the ship. At Mark 11:40.00, Thiel and his men cleared the way to the Honour auxiliary bridge, allowing Gage to re-take control of the ship, just in time to communicate with Ventanus on the surface.
在马库拉格之耀号上，第一大师马吕斯·盖奇被泛滥舰船的恶魔重伤并差点被杀，但被埃奥尼德·希尔军士救了出来，他带领一支特遣的极限战士小队清理舰船。希尔因准备涉及星际战士与其他星际战士作战的理论战斗场景而受到谴责；具有讽刺意味的是，这使他最能适应极限战士现在面临的奇怪战术形势。在盖奇的批准下，他带领他的小队从船上清除了剩下的恶魔。在标记11:40.00，希尔和他的部下清理了通往马库拉格之耀辅舰桥的道路，让盖奇重新控制了这艘船，及时与地表上的文塔努斯进行了沟通。
By the time Gage was able to see a near-complete picture, the odds were grim: half or more of the Ultramarines' muster had been destroyed (as many as one hundred thousand Legionnaires or more), the fleet had been reduced to a fifth of its original strength, and the survivors planetside had been reduced to roughly thirty thousand Legionnaires and two hundred thousand Army regulars and Mechanicum soldiers, split into roughly seventy disparate groups around the planet; in every respect, they were grossly outnumbered by the Word Bearers. As Magos Tawren reflected, any other force than the Ultramarines would have conceded defeat already.
当盖奇能够看到一幅近乎完整的画面时，情况已经很严峻：极限战士的一半或更多兵力已被摧毁（多达十万名军团士兵或更多），舰队已减少到其原始兵力的五分之一，行星上的幸存者已减少到大约三万名军团士兵和二十万名军队正规军和机械教士兵，分为大约七十个不同的小队；在各方面，他们的人数都远远不及怀言者。正如贤者陶伦所反映的那样，除了极限战士之外，任何其他部队都已经承认失败了。
Ultramarines battle on ruined Calth 极限战士在考斯的废墟上战斗
The fleet's only saving grace was that the Word Bearers were refraining from destroying the largest capital ships, instead using boarding parties to capture them intact. Gage mobilised void-parties to repel these boarders, led by Thiel. It was during this desperate fight, when the Ultramarines were outnumbered eight to one, that Guilliman reappeared. He had been missing for hours after the destruction of the Honour's bridge, but his enhanced physiology allowed him to survive the near-vacuum outside the ship. Guilliman slew several Word Bearers with his bare hands before Thiel persuaded him to re-board the ship.
舰队唯一的幸事是，怀言者没有摧毁最大的主力舰，而是使用跳帮队完整地捕获它们。盖奇动员了由希尔领导的虚空队来击退这些跳帮者。正是在这场绝望的战斗中，当极限战士面临以一对八的压倒性数量时，基里曼再次出现。在马库拉格之耀号的舰桥被毁后，他已经失踪了几个小时，但他增强的生理机能使他能够在船外近乎真空的环境中生存下来。基里曼在希尔说服他重新登船之前，徒手杀死了几名怀言者。
On the surface, havoc entered Leptius Numinus in the form of the daemon Samus, who had "entered" the compound in the body of the captured Commander Cxir. Ventanus only managed to slay it by the slimmest of margins. In coordination with Erebus on the surface, who had nearly completed his ritual, Kor Phaeron turned the orbital platform's weapons onto the Veridian sun itself.
在地表，浩劫以恶魔萨姆斯的形式进入了莱普提乌斯·努米努斯，萨姆斯“进入”了被俘指挥官西尔的体内。文塔努斯只能以微弱的优势杀死它。科尔·法伦与地表上的艾瑞巴斯协调，后者几乎完成了他的仪式，将轨道平台的武器转向了维里迪安的太阳本身。
Endgame 终局
Magos Tawren discovered that, during the last moments of his life, Magos Hesst had formulated a code which would allow her to purge the Word Bearers' scrapcode. However, the data-engine at Leptius Numinus was not powerful enough to re-take control of Calth's defence grid. That task was left to the Ultramarines in orbit.
贤者陶伦发现，在他生命的最后时刻，贤者赫斯特准备了一个编码，可以让她清除怀言者的废码。然而，莱普提乌斯·努米努斯的数据引擎不够强大，无法重新控制考斯的防御网格。这项任务留给了轨道上的极限战士。
Guilliman assembled a force of fifty Ultramarines to teleport aboard the platform. While they were assaulting the main control center, Kor Phaeron was able to stun Guilliman with powers granted by the Warp. While Guilliman was temporarily helpless, Phaeron bent over him with a ritual knife. He could have killed the primarch, but was intoxicated with the idea of converting Guilliman to Chaos, just as Erebus had converted Horus. This was a fatal mistake; although his flesh was pierced, Guilliman was resistant to the dark influence of Phaeron's blade, and tore Phaeron's primary heart from his chest with his massive armour claw. This was not enough to kill Phaeron, but was enough to drive him and his elite guard from the platform. Sergeant Thiel swiftly destroyed the platform's data systems, breaking the Word Bearers' control of the defence grid.
基里曼组建了一支由五十名极限战士组成的部队，在平台上进行远程传送。当他们袭击主控制中心时，科尔·法伦能够用亚空间授予的力量眩晕基里曼。当基里曼暂时失能时，法伦用一把仪式之刃俯身在他身上。他本可以杀死原体，但却陶醉于将基里曼转化为混沌的想法，就像艾瑞巴斯转化了荷鲁斯一样。这是一个致命的错误；尽管他的血肉被刺穿了，但基里曼抵抗了法伦刀刃的黑暗影响，并用他巨大的盔甲爪将法伦的主心脏从胸膛上撕了下来。这不足以杀死法伦，但足以将他和他的精英卫队赶出平台。希尔军士迅速摧毁了平台的数据系统，打破了怀言者对防御网格的控制。
Kor Phaeron attempts to corrupt Guilliman with his anathame dagger 科尔·法伦试图用他的诅咒匕首腐化基里曼
While part of his force stayed behind to guard the vital data-engine, Ventanus led the majority to link up with an armoured element from the 4th Company to lead a counter-attack on the Word Bearers, led by Hol Beloth and Foedral Fell. Grossly outnumbered, they received unexpected support from the remnants of the 111th and 112th Companies under Sergeant Anchise, the 19th Company under Captain Aethon, Titans under Tetrarch Tauro Nicodemus, and another relief force led by Tetrarch Eikos Lamiad and the Dreadnought, Telemechrus. Under normal circumstances, this would have merely delayed the Ultramarines' ultimate defeat, but the actions aboard the orbital platform allowed Magos Tawren to input the code and re-take control of the orbital weapons systems. She immediately opened fire on the Word Bearers on the ground, and their fleet in orbit, exacting a swift revenge on both. The Macragge's Honour likewise joined the fray, opening fire on the suddenly wrong-footed Word Bearer vessels.
虽然他的一部分部队留下来守卫重要的数据引擎，但文塔努斯带领大多数部队与第四连队的一名装甲成员会合，对霍尔·贝洛斯和弗德拉尔·费尔领导的怀言者发起反击。他们的人数远远超过了其他人，他们得到了安喀塞斯军士领导的第111和第112连队、埃松连长领导的第19连队、英杰陶罗·尼科迪默斯领导的泰坦，以及由英杰艾科斯·拉米亚德和无畏特勒梅克鲁斯领导的另一支救援部队的意外支持。在正常情况下，这只会推迟极限战士的最终失败，但轨道平台上的行动使贤者陶伦能够输入编码并重新控制轨道武器系统。她立即向地面上的怀言者和他们在轨道上的舰队开火，对两者进行了迅速的报复。马库拉格之耀号也加入了战斗，向突然措手不及的怀言者战舰开火。
Phaeron and the survivors of his party teleported to the Word Bearers' flagship Infidus Imperator, which began to retreat out of system. Guilliman furiously ordered Gage to pursue in the Macragge's Honour, leading to one of the most infamous naval duels in Imperial history. Although the Ultramarines had prevented the Veridian sun from going nova, the star was irreversibly poisoned and changed, and began to bombard Calth with lethal radiation. Guilliman was forced to order as complete an evacuation of the system as was possible, in the short time they had left, while Ventanus led the surviving ground forces into Calth's gargantuan cavern system, knowing it would be months, or years, before the fleet could return to extract them. At Mark 23:43.00, the remnants of the Ultramarines' fleet translated out of system, signaling the end of that phase of the Battle of Calth, and, as the surviving Word Bearers followed the loyalist survivors into the caverns, began the phase known as the Underground War.
法伦和他的小队的幸存者被传送到了怀言者的旗舰伪帝号，该旗舰开始退出星系。基里曼愤怒地命令盖奇令马库拉格之耀号追击，导致了帝国历史上最著名的海军决斗之一。尽管极限战士阻止了维里迪安的太阳变成超新星，但这颗恒星被不可逆转地毒害和改变，并开始用致命的辐射轰击考斯。基里曼被迫在他们剩下的短时间内命令尽可能完全撤离该星系，而文塔努斯则带领幸存的地面部队进入考斯巨大的洞穴系统，因为他知道舰队可能需要几个月或几年的时间才能回来带走他们。在标记23:43.00，极限战士舰队的残余部队脱离了星系，标志着考斯之战这一阶段的结束，当幸存的怀言者跟随忠诚派幸存者进入洞穴时，开始了被称为地下战争的阶段。
On the Satric Plateau, Erebus had completed his dark ritual, and, believing the Ultramarines finished as a threat to Horus, cut a hole in the materium and escaped the planet's death with the host of daemons he had summoned. He was, however, followed in short order by Oll Persson, a retired soldier of the Imperial Army who had, guided by John Grammaticus, led a small force of human survivors to the Plateau. The outcome of his actions is as yet unknown.
在萨特里克高原上，艾瑞巴斯完成了他的黑暗仪式，他相信极限战士已经失去了对荷鲁斯的威胁，于是在物质界开了一个洞，带着他召唤的大量恶魔逃离了行星的死亡。然而，紧随其后的是帝国军队退役士兵欧尔·佩松，他在约翰·格拉马迪库斯的指引下，带领一小队人类幸存者前往高原。他的行为结果尚不清楚。
A Secret Mission 秘密任务
While the remnants of the Ultramarines and the Imperial Army were making their exodus to the caves, to escape the poisoning of Calth's atmosphere, the 21st Company, under Captain Erikon Gaius, were dug in at one of the railway tunnels leading to Numinus City. In the midst of their defence from the attacking Word Bearers, Nathaniel Garro, former Battle-Captain of the now-Traitor Death Guard, arrived on a secret mission from Malcador the Sigillite, to recruit Tylos Rubio, a former Codicier of the Legion. At first, Rubio refused to abandon his brothers, but was left with no choice when, in the face of the Word Bearers' next, overwhelming assault, he unleashed his dormant psyker abilities, saving his company but making him an outcast for disobeying the Decree of Nikaea. He and Garro left the planet in Garro's Stormbird.
当极限战士和帝国军队的残余人员逃往洞穴时，为了躲避考斯大气的毒害，埃里克·盖乌斯连长领导的第21连队在通往纽米纳斯城的一条铁路隧道中挖掘。在他们防御攻击的怀言者的过程中，现在的叛徒死亡守卫的前战斗连长纳撒尼尔·伽罗通过掌印者马卡多秘密抵达，招募前军团编修员蒂洛斯·鲁比奥。起初，卢比奥拒绝抛弃他的兄弟们，但在面对怀言者的下一次压倒性攻击时，他别无选择，他释放了自己潜在的灵能者能力，拯救了他的连队，但因违反了尼凯亚法令而被抛弃。他和伽罗通过伽罗的风暴鸟离开了这个行星。
The Battle for Ithraca 伊萨卡之战
The city of Ithraca was the staging point for two Titan Legions assigned to the Veridian undertaking, the Legio Praesagius (the "True Messengers") and the Fire Masters. As the Titans were boarding their ships, the Fire Masters turned on their allies and opened fire, at the same time that the Word Bearers fleet in orbit launched orbital bombardment. Many of the Messengers' Titans were destroyed in the surprise attack, but quick thinking by the remaining commanders pulled the survivors into the streets of Ithraca, forcing the Fire Masters to extend their line and pursue.
伊萨卡城是两个泰坦军团的集结点，这两个军团被分配到维里迪安任务中，即预兆（“真言信使”）和火焰之主军团。当泰坦登上他们的舰船时，火焰之主向他们的盟友开火，与此同时，轨道上的怀言者舰队发动了轨道轰炸。许多信使的泰坦在突袭中被摧毁，但剩余指挥官的快速反应将幸存者拉到了伊萨卡的街道上，迫使火焰之主延长了他们的战线并进行追击。
The center of the battle soon revolved around the wreck of the heavy transport ship Arutan, which had crashed in the middle of the city after being struck by orbital fire. The Arutan had the majority of the True Messengers' Titans aboard, and loyalist forces fought to open her cargo doors and unleash them into the fight, while the traitor forces fought just as ferociously to prevent this. The loyalist cordon protecting the ship was close to collapsing, when the doors were finally opened, bolstering their line and allowing them to counterattack the Fire Masters. The ultimate outcome of the battle is not known.
战斗的中心很快围绕着重型运输舰阿尔坦号的残骸展开，这艘船在被轨道炮火击中后坠毁在城市中心。阿尔坦号上有大多数真言信使的泰坦，忠诚派部队奋力打开货舱门，将其投入战斗，而叛徒部队也同样凶猛地阻止了这一点。当门终于打开时，保护舰船的忠诚者封锁线几乎要崩溃了，这加强了他们的防线，使他们能够反击火焰之主。这场战斗的最终结果尚不清楚。
The Destruction of the Furious Abyss 狂怒深渊号的毁灭
While Lorgar had concentrated his Legion's offensive on Calth, a separate assault on the Ultramarines' homeworld of Macragge had been prepared. A massive battleship known as the Furious Abyss had been secretly constructed on a Jovian moon called Thule, under the auspices of Kelbor-Hal. It was equipped with cyclonic torpedoes and viral bombs, ready to kill the world and its moon, Formaska. Fortunately, however, it was intercepted in space by an ad hoc force led by Ultramarines Captain Lysimachus Cestus and destroyed, though at the cost of their own lives.
当珞珈将他的军团的进攻集中在考斯时，已经准备好对极限战士的家园世界马库拉格发动单独的进攻。一艘名为狂怒深渊号的大型战列舰在凯尔博·哈尔的主持下，在名为图勒的木星卫星上秘密建造。它配备了旋风鱼雷和病毒炸弹，准备杀死世界及其卫星弗尔马斯卡。然而，幸运的是，它在太空中被由极限战士连长吕西马库斯·塞斯图斯领导的一支特别部队拦截并摧毁，尽管这是以他们自己的生命为代价的。
Aftermath 余波
More than one-half of the Ultramarines' muster (at least one hundred thousand Ultramarines, and thousands more soldiers) died during the Battle of Calth, and many more likely perished during the years of fighting in the Underground War that saw the scattered remains of the Word Bearers flee beneath the catacombs of Calth. However, the Word Bearers ultimately failed to eradicate the XIII Legion, and Guilliman lost little time in embarking his remaining forces to Terra, to intervene in Horus's planned overthrow of the Emperor. This was to prove decisive to the outcome of the Horus Heresy; although the Ultramarines were unable to reach Terra in time to take part in the battle, word of their approach reached Horus, forcing him to gamble by allowing the Emperor to teleport aboard Horus's ship.
极限战士的一半以上（至少10万名极限战士和数千名士兵）在考斯之战中死亡，更有可能在地下战争的几年中牺牲，当时，散布在地下的怀言者残余在考斯地下洞穴下逃亡。然而，怀言者最终未能消灭第十三军团，基里曼几乎没有时间将剩余的部队派往泰拉，干预荷鲁斯推翻帝皇的计划。这对荷鲁斯叛乱的结局具有决定性意义；尽管极限战士未能及时到达泰拉参加战斗，但他们接近的消息传到了荷鲁斯，迫使他冒险让帝皇跳帮荷鲁斯的舰船。
The Word Bearers and Ultramarines battle in the Underground War beneath Calth's surface 在考斯地表下的地下战争中，怀言者和极限战士战斗
Erebus cared little for the military objectives of the Battle; he and his acolytes intended the destruction of Calth to be an offering to their dark gods, and, even as the Ultramarines regained the initiative, reckoned that the ritual had been a complete success. At the climax of the ritual, Erebus had summoned several of the most powerful daemons which would take part in the Traitor Legions' assault on the Imperial Palace, and more importantly succeeded in summoning the massive Warp Storm known as the Ruinstorm that would effectively split the Imperium in two. Meanwhile, Lorgar himself remarked that seeing the stoic Guilliman lose his temper made the whole undertaking worthwhile for him.
艾瑞巴斯对战斗的军事目标漠不关心；他和他的追随者们打算将考斯的毁灭作为献给他们黑暗之神的祭品，而且，即使极限战士重新获得了主动权，他们也认为这一仪式取得了圆满成功。在仪式的高潮，艾瑞巴斯召唤了几位最强大的恶魔，他们将参与叛徒军团对帝国皇宫的攻击，更重要的是，他们成功地召唤了被称为毁灭风暴的大规模亚空间风暴，这将有效地将帝国一分为二。与此同时，珞珈本人表示，看到坚忍的基里曼发怒，整个事业对他来说都是值得的。
At some point during or after the Battle of Calth Argel Tal would remark to Khârn that there was another purpose to Calth. Lorgar and Argel Tal chose each Word Bearer that was sent to Calth based on their competence, specifically those who allowed their hatred of the Ultramarines to cloud their judgements and become unreliable. They were judged to be expendable to the Legion and sent on a mission it was expected very few, if any, would return from. Thus Calth served as a third purge for the ranks of the Word Bearers, removing those that were loyal but incompetent and ultimately a detriment to the Legion. Millions of civilians died in the Word Bearers' cataclysmic attack, which permanently stripped away Calth's atmosphere and poisoned the Veridian sun's radiation, making it impossible for any life to survive aboveground without shelter. Thereafter, Calth's entire population occupied the vast cavern cities, with the exception of a few heavily shielded starports and surface cities.
在考斯之战期间或之后的某个时刻，安格尔·塔尔会对凯恩说，考斯还有另一个目的。珞珈和安格尔·塔尔根据他们的能力，特别是那些允许他们对极限战士的仇恨影响他们的判断并变得不可靠的人，选择了每一个被派往考斯的怀言者。他们被认为是军团的消耗品，并被派去执行一项任务，预计很少有人会回来。因此，考斯成为了怀言者队伍的第三次清洗，清除了那些忠诚但无能的人，最终对军团造成损害。数百万平民在怀言者的灾难性袭击中丧生，这场袭击永久性地剥夺了考斯的大气层，使维里迪安的太阳辐射恶化，使任何生命都不可能在没有庇护所的情况下在地面上生存。此后，考斯的全部人口占领了广阔的洞穴城市，除了一些屏蔽严密的星港和地表城市。
During the Great Scouring, the Ultramarines, led by Captain Ventanus, presided over the destruction of the Word Bearers homeworld of Colchis. In 999.M41, ten thousand years after the Heresy, Hol Beloth's Dark Apostle, Maloq Kartho, would revisit Ultramar as the Daemon Prince M'kar, though he was unable to set foot on Calth, declaring the world "anathema" to him.
在大清洗期间，由文塔努斯连长领导的极限战士主持了科尔基斯世界的毁灭。999.M41，叛乱一万年后，霍尔·贝洛斯的黑暗使徒马洛克·卡托将以恶魔王子姆'卡的身份再次来到奥特拉玛，尽管他无法踏上考斯，断言世界对他来说是“诅咒”。
According to the official Ultramarines reckoning, the Battle of Calth has not yet ended; the Mark of Calth continued running after Guilliman's withdrawal from the system, and will continue to run as long as Lorgar or a single member of his Legion lives.
根据极限战士的官方计算，考斯之战尚未结束；基里曼退出星系后，考斯标记继续运行，只要珞珈或其军团的一名成员还活着，它就会继续运行。

According to the novel Know No Fear, the Battle of Calth concludes just short of twenty-four hours after Mark Zero, while the ground forces are evacuating the surface to escape the poisoned sun's radiation; however, according to Garro: Oath of Moment, the 21st Company has been dug in "for days" following the initial Word Bearer Assault.
根据小说《无所畏惧》，考斯之战在零点标记后不到24小时就结束了，而地面部队正在撤离地表以躲避有毒的太阳辐射；然而，据《伽罗：片刻之誓》，在最初的怀言者袭击事件发生后，第21连队已经坚 守了“好几天”。
