The Firedrakes were the elite Terminators of the Salamanders Space Marine Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.

火龙是大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间火蜥蜴星际战士军团的精英终结者。

Firedrake Terminator 火龙终结者

Overview 概述

They were chosen not simply because of their skill but also because of their resilience, discipline, and self-sacrificing nature (these being the traits that the Promethean Cult holds in the highest esteem). Firedrakes possessed a singular focus in battle which bordered on preternatural and legendary resilience - a matter as much to do with their willpower as their superhuman physiology. Firedrakes could be found fulfilling numerous rules throughout the Salamanders ranks rather than concentrated into elitist cadres (as was the case in most other Legions). The exception to this, however, was the Pyre Guard, who served as Vulkan's praetorian guard and advisers.

他们之所以被选中，不仅是因为他们的技能，还因为他们的韧性、纪律性和自我牺牲的天性（这些是普罗米修斯教派最推崇的特质）。火龙在战斗中具有一种独特的专注力，这种专注力近乎超自然和传奇般的韧性——这与他们的意志力和超人的生理一样重要。火龙可以被发现是在整个火蜥蜴军团的各级中履行众多角色，而不是像大多数其他军团那样集中到精英干部中。然而，烈焰守卫是个例外，他们担任沃坎的禁卫军和顾问。

Following the Horus Heresy, the Firedrakes were made the First Company of the Salamanders Chapter. The Captain of the Firedrakes also serves as Regent of Nocturne and Chapter Master, as the Salamanders believe that Vulkan lives and will return to lead the Chapter once more. For operations involving the Firedrakes, the senior Veteran Sergeant is chosen to lead the Firedrakes when the Chapter Master is unable to so.

在荷鲁斯叛乱之后，火龙成为了火蜥蜴战团的第一连队。火龙连长同时担任夜曲星摄政王和战团长，因为火蜥蜴相信沃坎还活着，并将再次回来领导战团。对于涉及火龙的行动，当连长无法领导火龙时，会选择老兵军士长来领导火龙。

Today, Firedrakes are the only Salamanders whose home garrison is not amongst the civilian population of Nocturne. They instead serve as the guardians of the Salamanders Fortress-Monastery of Prometheus. They are singular fighters who favor Heavy Flamers, Thunder Hammers, and Storm Shields.

如今，火龙是唯一其驻防主场不在夜曲星平民之中的火蜥蜴。他们转而担任普罗米修斯的火蜥蜴要塞修道院的守护者。他们是喜欢重型火焰枪、雷霆锤和风暴盾的非凡战士。
