The Battle of Nocturne was a battle during the Horus Heresy.

夜曲星戰(zhàn)役發(fā)生于大叛亂時期。

Overview綜述

When Salamanders commander Artellus Numeon and surviving brothers of his Legion left Macragge with the body of their Primarch Vulkan in a bid to resurrect him on Nocturne, they were unknowingly followed by a contingent of Death Guard of the Vengeance Class Grand Cruiser Reaper's Shroud under Malig Laestygon while attempting to pass through the Ruinstorm. Oddly enough, it is suggested the Salamanders expedition was only able to pass the Ruinstorm thanks to the machinations of Magnus the Red. In truth, the Death Guard of the Reaper's Shroud were discarded by Mortarion after the Drop Site Massacre and were seeking to regain favor with their Primarch by finishing off the Salamanders. Malig's forces were aided by the Dark Apostle Quor Gallek

當(dāng)火蜥蜴指揮官阿特魯斯 努美安和火蜥蜴軍團的幸存者們帶著原體伏爾甘的遺體離開馬庫拉格，試圖回到夜曲星復(fù)活原體的時候，在試圖穿過毀滅風(fēng)暴時，他們并不知道自己已經(jīng)被一艘死亡守衛(wèi)的復(fù)仇級大巡——收割者裹尸布號跟蹤了，率領(lǐng)這支死亡守衛(wèi)分遣隊的是馬力格 萊斯提貢。足夠奇怪的是，火蜥蜴遠征隊能夠穿越毀滅風(fēng)暴據(jù)說是因為借助了紅王馬格努斯設(shè)計的機械裝置（機仆：在老馬列傳里面，老馬設(shè)計出來一個能進行亞空間航行的靈能機械裝置，并請老皮做了出來。但老皮做好后直接當(dāng)著老馬的面把裝置給砸了個粉碎，并且表示：爹不讓我們亂玩靈能肯定有他的道理，我們終究不理解亞空間，老十五你還是慎重一些吧。）。事實上，收割者裹尸布上的死亡守衛(wèi)們在登錄點大屠殺之后就被莫塔里安拋棄流放了，他們試圖通過消滅火蜥蜴軍團來重新贏得他們的原體的好感。死亡守衛(wèi)們得到了黑暗使徒寇爾 加來克的幫助。

After a brief battle in space when the Death Guard forces attempted to board the Salamanders vessel Charybdis to find Vulkan's body, when Laestygon realized the Primarch's coffin had been taken to Nocturne's surface he flew into a rage and began to prepare to land on the planet. Meanwhile the loyalist forces are able to land on Nocturne and link up with fellow survivors of the Legion under Chaplain Nomus Rhy'tan. As they muster their defenses, the Death Guard Cruiser in orbit attempts to destroy Nocturne by unleashing a Virus Bomb on the planet, but this is destroyed by a gigantic Flame Weapon on Nocturne's surface which burns the virus away. The Death Guard are then forced to make a land assault, where after vicious combat the Death Guard are eventually forced to flee from the planet.

在一場簡短的太空戰(zhàn)之后，死亡守衛(wèi)們試圖跳幫火蜥蜴的艦船卡律布狄斯號來尋找伏爾甘的遺體。當(dāng)拉斯提貢意識到原體的棺槨已經(jīng)被送回夜曲星的地表時，他勃然大怒并開始準(zhǔn)備降落在夜曲星上。同時，火蜥蜴軍團戰(zhàn)士們已經(jīng)能夠登陸夜曲星，并且聯(lián)系上了牧師諾穆斯? 瑞坦率領(lǐng)的軍團幸存者。在火蜥蜴?zhèn)兗戏烙鶗r，軌道上的死亡守衛(wèi)大巡企圖使用病毒炸彈毀滅夜曲星，但夜曲星地表部署的巨型火焰武器燒光了病毒，死亡守衛(wèi)的計劃失敗的。之后，死亡守衛(wèi)們被迫進行登陸襲擊，經(jīng)過了一場慘烈的戰(zhàn)斗之后，死亡守衛(wèi)們被迫逃離了夜曲星。
