Established as a way station for the Great Crusade and the ever-expanding armies of the Emperor's attempt to reunite the worlds of the galaxy under his rule, Mezoa had ever been dedicated to the construction of war machines for the Legiones Astartes and many other branches of?the Imperial armies. Under the watchful eyes of the Tech-adepts of the Eternal Flame, uncounted armoured vehicles were produced for the Emperor's finest warriors, yet with the advent of the Horus Heresy, all supply routes to those enclaves known to have remained loyal were cut off. Left with no means to disburse these armaments, the artificers of Mezoa placed them into the vast storage vaults beneath their forge-fanes to await the day when their anger would be unleashed against the Traitors.

鑄造世界梅佐阿是為大遠(yuǎn)征和帝皇在試圖將整個銀河的諸世界統(tǒng)一在自己統(tǒng)治之下的過程中（動用的）不斷擴(kuò)張的部隊(duì)而建立起的中途站，它致力于為阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)和帝國軍的很多其他分支建造戰(zhàn)爭機(jī)械，在永恒烈火教派技術(shù)牧師們的嚴(yán)密看管下，它為帝皇最優(yōu)秀的戰(zhàn)士們生產(chǎn)出無以計(jì)數(shù)的裝甲載具，然而隨著荷魯斯叛亂的到來，通往那些已知仍然忠誠的被占領(lǐng)區(qū)的所有補(bǔ)給路線悉數(shù)被切斷。梅佐阿的工匠們將這些無法支付的軍備安置在鑄造神殿下方巨大的倉庫中，來等待將它們的怒火向著叛徒們釋放的日子。

With the arrival of Cassian Dracos and the Ebon Drake，alongside other fleeing stragglers from Isstvan and other fallen? loyalist strongholds, these found new purpose. In defiance of ancient treaties, which put strict limits on both who might receive the fruits of Mezoa's labour and the quantity of arms which might be made available, the Norn- regents of?Mezoa granted gifts of tanks and weapons to those bands of?the Legiones Astartes willing to carry the war to Horus, both on the surface of Mezoa and across the sector. Many of those who had escaped the wrath of the Warmaster chose to accept these gifts and make their stand on the worlds around Mezoa, now with the tools to exact a high price in blood from the Traitors, but of all those present, it was the company of the Ebon Drake who received the prize of Mezoa's output.

隨著卡西安 德拉庫斯、烏木火龍?zhí)柾粨粞惭笈炓约疤与x自伊斯特萬星系和其他淪陷的忠誠派據(jù)點(diǎn)的殘兵們到來，它們找到了新的目標(biāo)。無視了古老的禁令——這些禁令嚴(yán)格限制了能夠接受梅佐阿產(chǎn)品的人和他們能接受的裝備數(shù)量，梅佐阿三賢攝政將坦克和武器贈予了這群愿意參加抵抗荷魯斯戰(zhàn)爭的阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)戰(zhàn)士們，他們的戰(zhàn)場既在梅佐阿的地表，也在整個星區(qū)當(dāng)中。許多已經(jīng)逃過戰(zhàn)帥怒火都選擇接受這份禮物并在梅佐阿周邊的世界抵抗叛軍，而且他們現(xiàn)在擁有了工具，定會讓叛軍在鮮血中付出高昂代價。但在所有這些在場部隊(duì)中，是烏木火龍?zhí)柹系幕痱狎孢B隊(duì)得到了梅佐阿產(chǎn)出的獎品。

Where they had arrived at Mezoa few in number and equipped with little beyond their boltguns and man-portable heavy weaponry, the Disciples of the Flame now found themselves replete with the finest of Mezoa's creations—chief among them several newly finished super-heavy tanks that had previously been intended for the IXth Legion and a number of?command Rhino variants whose design had only been recently approved for production. These weapons of?war were quickly adorned with the heraldry of the Dragon Revenant and his followers and prepared for war, in many cases proving vital to the defence of Mezoa in the battles that followed. In particular, the glaive pattern super-heavy tank designated Dragon eternal was responsible for the defence of Mezoa's Septum Gateway for four hours, after an Alpha Legion diversionary attack drew off the other defending elements. Even in death the tank did not abandon its purpose, the crew manoeuvring the vehicle so that its hulk blocked all access to the gate following its final explosive end.

抵達(dá)梅佐阿的火蜥蜴軍團(tuán)烈火信徒人數(shù)稀少，而且除了爆彈槍和手提重武器之外，他們幾乎身無長物，現(xiàn)在他們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己被充足提供了梅佐阿最精良的造物——其中的翹楚是之前本打算交付給第九軍團(tuán)的幾輛新進(jìn)完工的超重型坦克，以及數(shù)輛其設(shè)計(jì)最近才被批準(zhǔn)投產(chǎn)的指揮犀牛改型。這些戰(zhàn)爭武器被快速地裝飾上了龍之復(fù)仇者（機(jī)仆：卡西安的尊稱之一）及其追隨者們的紋章，它們蓄勢待發(fā)，而且在之后的戰(zhàn)斗中，它們在許多情況中被證明對于梅佐阿的防御至關(guān)重要。尤其是被命名為永恒之龍?zhí)柕娘w刃型超重坦，在阿爾法軍團(tuán)的牽制攻擊引爆了其他防御設(shè)施之后，它負(fù)責(zé)防御梅佐阿的大門隔離通道長達(dá)四小時。哪怕是在死亡時這輛坦克也未放棄自己的目標(biāo)，乘員們操縱載具移動，這樣，在最終的殉爆發(fā)生后，坦克的巨大殘骸堵住了所有通往大門的道路。
