Background 背景

After the Drop Site Massacre, Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children, constructed the Perfect Fortress on the world of Narsis. The Fortress would be used to secure the riches of several Forge Worlds and threaten the Imperial strongholds of Agrapha, Chopix and Spartus. It would also serve as a key part of the Imperium’s defences, until the Horus Heresy began and the Emperor's Children seized Narsis for Warmaster Horus. Once it fell into Traitor hands, the Perfect Fortress became a lynchpin for their presence in the southern Imperium. It would remain so until sometime after the Dropsite Massacre, when the vengeful Primarch Corax led his Raven Guard and their Therion Cohort allies in attacking the Fortress.

在登陆点大屠杀之后，帝皇之子的原体福格瑞姆在纳西斯世界建造了完美堡垒。堡垒将被用来保护几个铸造世界的财富，并威胁帝国的阿格拉法、乔皮克斯和斯帕图斯要塞。它也将成为帝国防御的关键部分，直到荷鲁斯叛乱开始，帝皇之子为战帅荷鲁斯夺取了纳西斯。一旦落入叛徒之手，完美堡垒就成为他们在帝国南部存在的关键。这种情况一直持续到登陆点大屠杀之后的某个时候，当时复仇的原体科拉克斯带领他的暗鸦守卫和他们的圣兽大队盟友袭击了堡垒。

Battle 战斗

Though it was heavily fortified, Corax ordered the Cohort into the Fortress, to make the Emperor's Children overconfident and to draw them out, so the Raven Guard could strike them down. Even as the Cohort then began to suffer horrific casualties, the Primarch prepared his forces, except the ill-favored Deliverers, to infiltrate the Fortress, while the Emperor's Children were distracted. Just as they were prepared to do so, the Scout Cruiser Fane of Shadow discovered an array of Flak Batteries, scattered across the Fortress, which had not been revealed by the Cohort's attack. They were all slaved to a control room, deep beneath one of the Fortress' central towers in Hab-block Delta-19. When the Batteries activated, the weapons would be able to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting Space Marine Legion. With Corax having ordered them to maintain Vox-silence before they attacked, no one on the Fane could warn him about this new threat.

尽管要塞防御严密，但科拉克斯还是命令大队进入堡垒，让帝皇之子过于自信，并把他们拉出来，这样暗鸦守卫就可以把他们击倒。就在大队开始遭受可怕的伤亡之际，原体准备他的部队，除了那些令人不快的拯救者，渗透到堡垒中，而帝皇之子却分心了。就在他们准备这样做的时候，侦察巡洋舰暗影神殿号发现了散布在堡垒各处的高射炮阵列，而这些高射炮并没有被大队的攻击所揭示。他们都被奴役在一个控制室里，位于哈布区德尔塔-19堡垒中央塔楼的深处。当阵列激活时，这些武器将能够对毫无戒心的星际战士造成破坏。由于科拉克斯命令他们在进攻前保持音阵的沉默，暗影神殿号上没有人能警告他这个新的威胁。

Acting quickly, the Centurion Beyar Kedron, who was aboard the cruiser, decided to lead his detachment of Deliverers in invading Hab-block Delta-19. Kedron would succeed in destroying the Flak Batteries' control room, at a heavy cost, allowing the Raven Guard succeeded in launching an ambush on the Emperor's Children from within the Fortress itself. The moment for this attack arrived once the Therion Cohort began to retreat, causing the overconfident Emperor's Children led by the Perfect Fortress' commander, Hasten Luthris Armanitan, to pursue them. Now vulnerable, the Traitors were butchered by the Raven Guard's surprise assault, with Hasten being killed by Corax himself.

巡洋舰上的百夫长贝亚尔·凯德伦迅速采取行动，决定率领他的救援分谴队入侵哈布区德尔塔-19。凯德伦以巨大的代价成功摧毁了高射炮的控制室，使暗鸦守卫成功地从堡垒内部对帝皇之子发动了伏击。当圣兽大队开始撤退，导致由完美堡垒的指挥官哈斯滕·卢瑟里斯·阿玛尼坦领导的过于自信的帝皇之子追逐他们时，这次袭击的时刻到来了。现在很脆弱的叛徒被暗鸦守卫的突袭屠杀了，哈斯滕被科拉克斯自己杀死了。

Aftermath 余波

When the battle was over, the Raven Guard had suffered little losses overall, though the Therion Cohort had suffered terribly with at least 10,000 soldiers killed.

当战斗结束时，暗鸦守卫总体上几乎没有损失，尽管圣兽大队遭受了巨大的损失，至少有1万名士兵丧生。

Either way, Narsis once again belonged to the Imperium. Kedron's slain Deliverers were later placed in a mausoleum within the Fortress, as the Raven Guard left Narsis behind them. However, Corax was not known to have offered a word of praise or criticism for their actions, nor would the Deliverers' Legion honour them in anyway. In the wake of the battle, Kedron and a number of the Therion Cohort's commanders began to criticize the Primarch's plan, which had caused them to suffer such severe losses. This would reach Corax and in the months that followed the Fortress' fall, they would all be gathered into a separate battlegroup and ordered to seize the isolated world of Galaspar.

不管怎样，纳西斯再次属于帝国。凯德伦的被杀的拯救者后来被安置在堡垒内的一座陵墓中，因为暗鸦守卫把纳西斯留在了他们身后。然而，众所周知，科拉克斯并没有对他们的行为表示赞扬或批评，解放者也不会以任何方式向他们致敬。战斗结束后，凯德伦和圣兽大队的一些指挥官开始批评原体的计划，这导致他们遭受了如此严重的损失。这将到达科拉克斯，在堡垒陷落后的几个月里，他们将全部聚集在一个单独的战斗群中，并被命令夺取孤立的加拉斯帕世界。
