Prelude 序曲
By 009.M31, the Inwit Cluster was targeted by the forces of the Warmaster, with the Traitors conducting spoiling raids across the Imperial Fists' domain. Unwilling to withdraw forces from the defence of the Sol System to reinforce the cluster as Horus anticipated, Rogal Dorn ordered the garrison upon Inwit to marshal as many troops from local systems to the cluster’s defence as possible, as well as accelerating and expanding their induction of new Legionaries. These efforts involved the strike frigate Light of Inwit, which redirected vessels stationed at the fleet anchorage of Pilgrim’s Rest within the Tallarn system to the Protectorate’s muster, leaving the system with only a handful of Warp-capable void craft.
到009.M31，因维特星群成为战帅部队的目标，叛徒在帝国之拳的领地上进行了破坏性的袭击。罗格·多恩不愿意像荷鲁斯预期的那样从太阳系的防御中撤军以加强星群，他命令因维特的驻军从当地星系中召集尽可能多的部队来防御星群，并加快和扩大新军团士兵的招募。这些努力涉及打击护卫舰因维特之光号，该护卫舰将驻扎在塔兰星系内的朝圣者之休舰队锚地的战舰重新定向到保护地的集合，使该星系只有少数具有亚空间能力的虚空舰。
Battle 战斗
The siege was undertaken by dozens of Traitor fleets, who each sought to claim the prize of the Imperial Fists Legion's Homeworld, Inwit. The siege then steadily increased in intensity for four years, with the Imperial garrisons being occasionally reinforced by contingents of the Imperial Army and Mechanicum.
这场围攻是由数十支叛徒舰队发起的，他们每个人都试图夺取帝国之拳军团的家园世界因维特的战利品。四年来，围攻的强度稳步增加，帝国军队和机械教偶尔会增援帝国驻军。
Eventually, a vast Traitor force including elements of the Emperor's Children, Death Guard, World Eaters, Iron Warriors, and Thousand Sons fought their way to Inwit itself as the remaining loyalists sought to dug-in and make a final stand. After the invaders then laid siege to the world, the Imperial Fists lost dozens of warships in desperate attempts to break the blockade and seek reinforcements. While the Imperial Fists Frigate Astral Majesty was able to reach the Dark Angels forces, they soon found themselves requisitioned for Lion El'Jonson's Crusade of vengeance instead of relieving Inwit.
最终，一支庞大的叛徒部队，包括帝皇之子、死亡守卫、吞世者、钢铁勇士和千子，在剩下的忠诚派试图坚守阵地并做出最后抵抗时，奋力向因维特进军。在侵略者围攻世界之后，帝国之拳失去了数十艘战舰，绝望地试图打破封锁并寻求增援。虽然帝国之拳护卫舰星界王权号能够到达黑暗天使部队，但他们很快发现自己被莱昂·艾尔庄森的复仇远征征用，而不是解救因维特。
As the blockade went on, other Loyalists forces tried to bypass the traitors' defences attempting to support Inwit, which resulted in numerous space battles across half a dozen worlds in the Inwit cluster. The Imperial Fists desperately attempted to keep space lanes open to supply Terra, ceding worlds to the Traitors as they fell back to an ever-tightening defensive line. During the battle, a vast Traitor fleet led by elements of the Emperor's Children wrought terrible destruction within the Inwit Cluster.
随着封锁的继续，其他忠诚派部队试图绕过叛徒的防御，试图支援因维特，这导致了因维特星群内六个世界的多次太空战。帝国之拳拼命地试图保持太空通道的畅通，以供应泰拉，在叛徒撤退到不断收紧的防线时，他们将世界拱手让给了叛徒。在战斗中，由帝皇之子领导的庞大叛徒舰队在因维特星群内造成了可怕的破坏。
During the Traitor's blockade, the stoic defenders of the fortified cryo-hives on Inwit were confronted with starvation and inevitable defeat should their supplies of food and ammunition be cut off entirely. It was only through the relentless bravery of Imperial Fists and allied Loyalist Divisio Aeronautica pilots that disaster was adverted. Thousands of supply drops were made over the course of several years, Marauder transports escorted by Xiphon Interceptors and ground-to-air batteries time and again. Only later was it revealed that many of these supply drops were in fact covert troop insertions, allowing Loyalists hunter-killer teams to infiltrate the ice wastes and to kill key individuals in the Traitor's command hierarchy.
在叛徒的封锁期间，因维特强化低温巢都的坚忍守军面临饥饿，如果他们的食物和弹药供应被完全切断，他们将不可避免地失败。只有通过帝国之拳和盟友忠诚派航空部飞行员的不懈勇敢，灾难才被避免。在几年的时间里，数千次补给被空投，掠夺者运输机在剑尾截击机和地对空炮阵的护送下一次又一次地运送。后来才发现，这些补给中的许多实际上是秘密的部队加入，使忠诚派猎杀小队能够渗透到冰原中，杀死叛徒指挥层中的关键人物。
In 010.M31, Bilatt Svenor, a former labour-baron of Inwit's Salvage Guild on Terros IV, waged a stalwart resistance campaign against the Emperor's Children after months of brutal raids. Despite taking heavy losses, the guerrillas held out until salvation arrived in the form of an Imperial Fists strike force which broke the Traitor blockade and teleported a host of Saturnine Terminators into battle with the Emperor's Children. The Traitors attacks were rendered impotent against the hulking Terminators, and they were quickly forced to flee. Afterwards, the liberated planet provided promethium to the war effort.
010.M31，在经历了数月的残酷袭击后，前因维特打捞行会的劳工巨头比拉特·斯文诺在特罗斯四号对帝皇之子发动了一场坚定的抵抗战役。尽管遭受了重大损失，游击队一直坚持到以帝国之拳打击部队的形式获得救赎，该部队打破了叛徒的封锁，并将许多土星终结者传送到与帝皇之子的战斗中。叛徒的攻击对庞大的终结者无能为力，他们很快被迫逃离。后来，解放的行星为战争提供了钷素。
By 012-013.M31, the Traitors’ blockade of Inwit had become a protracted siege, and forces loyal to the Warmaster established footholds upon the surface of the planet in addition to the growing cordon around the entire system, forcing the Imperial Fists and their Auxilia allies to fight from increasingly isolated pockets of resistance on numerous planets throughout the cluster. These locations relied on scarce supplies of ammunition and reinforcements, air dropped in by Divisio Aeronautica pilots who flew thousands of perilous sorties over the course of the engagement. Amongst the troops inserted into the thick of the fighting were Salamanders squads, specially equipped for fighting within the close confines of the ice hives and hab blocks of Inwit. In coordination with the VIIth Legion forces already entrenched within the defences, the sons of Vulkan conducted guerilla raids on Traitor positions on every planet throughout the cluster, setting deadly traps for enemy troops, destabilising their supply lines and sabotaging their war machines. Loyalist morale was significantly boosted when one such raid successfully destroyed two Warhound Titans and critically damaged a Reaver Class Titan as it was undergoing refit and resupply. Despite suffering heavy losses in these dangerous actions, comparatively small numbers of troops were able to disrupt the enemy’s actions where the option of conventional attack was not viable.
到012-013.M31，叛徒对因维特的封锁已经变成了一场旷日持久的围攻，忠于战帅的部队除了在整个星系周围建立越来越多的警戒线外，还在行星表面建立了立足点，迫使帝国之拳及其辅助军盟友在星群中的众多行星上，从越来越孤立的抵抗区域进行战斗。这些地点依赖于稀缺的弹药和增援，在交战过程中，航空部飞行员飞行了数千架次危险的出击。在投入激烈战斗的部队中，有火蜥蜴小队，他们的专门装备在因维特的冰窖和港口街区的封闭范围内作战。在与已经在防御工事内根深蒂固的第七军团部队的协调下，沃坎之子对整个星群中每个行星上的叛徒阵地进行了游击式袭击，为敌军设置了致命的陷阱，破坏了他们的补给线，破坏了他们的战争机器。当一次这样的突袭成功摧毁了两架战犬泰坦，并将一架正在进行改装和补给的掠夺者级泰坦严重受损时，忠诚派的士气得到了显著提升。尽管在这些危险的行动中遭受了重大损失，但在常规攻击不可行的情况下，相对较少的部队能够扰乱敌人的行动。
However, after Warmaster Horus' gained the advantage during the Solar War, a direct assault on Terra drew the many traitors away from the Inwit Cluster. This allowed a relief force of Salamanders, Imperial Army, and Mechanicum forces to reach Inwit and break the siege. In the wake of the traitors' retreat, however, they left behind a string of burning and wasted worlds across the Inwit Cluster. After their victory at Inwit, the local loyalists intervened in the Malagant Conflict.
然而，在战帅荷鲁斯在太阳战争中获得优势后，对泰拉的直接攻击将许多叛徒从因维特星群中拉了出来。这使得由火蜥蜴、帝国军队和机械教部队组成的救援部队能够到达因维特，打破围困。然而，在叛徒撤退后，他们在因维特星群留下了一连串燃烧和被浪费的世界。在因维特取得胜利后，当地的忠诚派介入了马拉甘特冲突。
