《战鹰》的作者后记（白色伤疤部分）

The core idea of the V Legion throughout the Heresy was born of necessity.
贯穿于荷鲁斯大反乱小说中，第五军团的核心创意是诞于必然。
Before the books came along, they had almost no background at all, and so deciding what to do with them required some thought.
在这些书出现之前，他们几乎没有任何背景来得到补充，所以决定如何处理第五军团的背景让我开始了深思。
In the end, the real-world situation became the fictional-world situation - their very lack of background became their defining feature.
在最后，现世世界的现状转化为了虚构世界的情景——他们的背景缺失成为了他们出色的特征。
They were unknowable, obscure, hard to pin down.
