Prelude 序曲
At the start of the Horus Heresy, the majority of the Blood Angels Legion was cut off and besieged, first due to the Signus Campaign and then as a result of the Ruinstorm. Those Blood Angels detachments which had not operated under their Primarch Sanguinius were left isolated and often believed themselves orphans. The Blood Angels garrison at Baal was left understrength. However, Baal remained a powerful loyalist stronghold, serving as de facto Fortress World and main base for the Imperium in a region largely dominated by Traitors.
在荷鲁斯叛乱开始时，圣血天使军团的大多数被切断并被围困，首先是由于西格纳斯战役，然后是由于毁灭风暴。那些没有在他们的原体圣吉列斯领导下行动的僧血天使分遣队被孤立了，经常认为自己孤立无助。巴尔的圣血天使驻军兵力不足。然而，巴尔仍然是一个强大的忠诚派据点，是事实上的堡垒世界，也是帝国在一个主要由叛徒主导的地区的主要基地。
History 历史
The Blood Angels garrison that was left to defend Baal was bolstered by scattered elements of the Imperial Fists, Shattered Legion survivors, who had fled the Dropsite Massacre and loyalists from the traitor legions turned into Blackshields. These scattered reinforcements were quickly pressed into service, eventually forming eight "Provisional Battalions", about 8,000 Space Marines strong in total. In enlisting these forces, the Blood Angels' commander, Warden Arkhad, was unwilling to let loyalist Space Marines leave the world again once they had sought refuge or information there; most notably, he denounced the Salamanders crew of the Cruiser Ebon Drake as traitors after they refused to join the defense of Baal and recruited local Shattered Legion members for their search of the Primarch Vulkan.
被留下来保卫巴尔的圣血天使驻军得到了分散的帝国之拳成员、破碎军团幸存者的支援，他们逃离了登陆点大屠杀，叛徒军团的忠诚者变成了黑盾。这些分散的增援部队很快被投入使用，最终形成了八个“临时营”，总共约有8000名星际战士。在招募这些部队的过程中，圣血天使的指挥官守望者阿尔哈德不愿意让忠诚派星际战士在那里寻求庇护或信息后再次离开世界；最值得注意的是，他谴责黑檀龙兽号巡洋舰的火蜥蜴船员是叛徒，因为他们拒绝加入巴尔的防御，并招募了当地的破碎军团成员来搜寻原体沃坎。
The gathering of the Legiones Astartes became so great that it posed a major threat to the rear of the Traitor's advance on Terra, and so Baal and its moons were besieged, while outlying garrisons and space installations were seized by Traitor forces. Arrayed against the Loyalists, were the Traitor forces of the Sons of Horus, the Emperor's Children and the Forge World Cyclothrathe's Taghmata. Despite being isolated from the Imperium, Baal's defenders resisted two major attempts by the Traitors to capture the world, one by subterfuge and the other by force, though both were rebuffed at a great cost. During the interim periods, a guerilla war was waged throughout the Baal system as sorties were launched to strike at the besieging fleets; the once proud sons of the loyal Primarchs took the fight to their assailants in a series of strikes and fades, attempting to bleed their enemy dry by inflicting a thousand cuts. While Baal's Siege began in 008.M31, it would not finally end until 013.M31 after word arrived that the Great Angel still lived.
阿斯塔特军团的集结变得如此之大，以至于对叛徒在泰拉的推进构成了重大威胁，因此巴尔及其卫星被围困，而外围的驻军和太空设施则被叛徒部队占领。荷鲁斯之子、帝皇之子和铸造世界赛克洛斯拉斯的禁卫的叛徒部队组成了对抗忠诚派的队伍。尽管与帝国隔绝，巴尔的守军还是抵抗了叛徒两次夺取世界的重大企图，一次是通过诡计，另一次是武力，尽管这两次都遭到了巨大的代价。在过渡期，整个巴尔星系都爆发了游击战，出击袭击围攻的舰队；这些曾经骄傲的忠诚原体子嗣，在一连串的攻击和撤退中，向他们的敌人发起反击，试图通过千刀万剐让敌人血流成河。虽然巴尔围城始于008.M31，但直到013.M31，当大天使还活着的消息传来后，它才最终结束。
