Fragments and Suppositions

Much of what is known to the record about the incident known as the Xana Incursion is a dossier assembled from diverse and incomplete secondary sources. These include the akashic archives of the Amphion recovered from her hulk after the Battle of Triton, the harvested data-looms of the Xanan exile-savant Mordifia Turul and the apocryphal appendix to the Tears of the Gorgon, an allegorical and now prohibited treatise associated with the｛redacted｝Chapter of the 3rd Founding. The primary source file of the operation, held within the Seal and Office of?the Sigillite and the Divisio Sicarii, were lost during the devastation of the Siege of Terra. It is also certain that during the duration of the Wars of the Heresy, the operation was itself kept secret by the orders of the Sigillite even from Imperial High Command. As such, while there is good evidence to suggest that the real Traitor embassy had been somehow compromised, intercepted and replaced by covert Imperial forces cannot be contested, it is also highly likely that the individual masquerading as Raxhal Koraddon was in fact Endryd Haar, an outcast not of the Sons of Horus but the World Eaters Legion, who remained loyal, but the provenance of at least 1000?Legiones Astartes accompanying him remains a matter for some conjecture.

我們關(guān)于Xana入侵戰(zhàn)的大部分已知資料都是收集自形形色色且不完整二手資料的檔案，其中包括Triton之戰(zhàn)后從奧菲昂號的殘骸中回收的阿卡夏記錄庫、Xana的流放學者摩爾迪亞 圖魯爾內(nèi)容豐富的數(shù)據(jù)織機和戈耳工之淚號的疑似虛構(gòu)的附錄文件，這些現(xiàn)在遭到禁止的寓言性論文與第三次建軍中出現(xiàn)的｛數(shù)據(jù)刪除｝戰(zhàn)團有關(guān)。這次行動的首要源文件被封存在掌印者和西卡里修會的辦公室中，但它們在泰拉圍城的毀滅性戰(zhàn)爭中遺失了。還有一點是確定的：在大叛亂戰(zhàn)爭期間，掌印者親自下令將這次行動保密，甚至對帝國至高指揮部也是如此。因此，有充足的證據(jù)表明真正的叛軍使節(jié)團遭到了某種程度的損壞，他們無疑是被某支隱蔽的帝國部隊攔截并替換掉了，很可能偽裝成拉扎爾 考拉頓的人事實上就是恩德瑞德 哈爾，一位來自吞世者而非荷魯斯之子軍團的流亡者，他仍然保持著忠誠，但陪伴他的那至少1000名阿斯塔特軍團戰(zhàn)士的出身仍舊是秘密。

It is the general consensus that this force, undertaking what was in effect a suicide mission with little hope of?recovery or rescue even if success was achieved, was made up of veteran Legiones Astartes who, like Endryd Haar, had remained loyal, even though their parent Legions had turned Traitor. This desperate and damned force had little to lose, it can be argued, and nothing to gain save redemption in death. Just how Endryd Haar survived, as survive he did as his actions during the later Solar War are a matter of?record, also remains unknown. Of equal enigma is the depth of the Dark Angels' involvement, but perhaps the most unknowable and disquieting mystery regards the Xana Incursion is the horror which erupted on Xana II after the Archmagos and the attack of the Dark Sovereign.

關(guān)于此次事件的一個共識是：執(zhí)行這次幾乎沒有生還或救援希望、甚至連是否能成功都待定的實質(zhì)上的自殺任務的部隊是由諸如恩德瑞德 哈爾這些依舊保持忠誠的阿斯塔特軍團老兵組成的——雖然他們的母軍團已然叛亂。這群絕望且備受詛咒的戰(zhàn)士幾乎沒有什么能夠再失去了，除了以死亡作為救贖之外，他們別無他求。只不過關(guān)于恩德瑞德 哈爾是如何幸存下來的記錄，就像那些關(guān)于他在之后的太陽系戰(zhàn)爭中所作所為的記錄一樣，依舊處于未知當中。同樣令人深感困惑的就是黑暗天使軍團參與這場戰(zhàn)斗的程度，不過，Xana入侵戰(zhàn)中最令人費解和困惑的秘密，還是大賢者宕機、黑暗君王號發(fā)動攻擊之后在Xana II上爆發(fā)的恐怖事件。
