Veteran Space Marines are mostly members of the 1st Company of a Space Marine Chapter, the so called Veteran Company. They form the Chapter's battle-hardened core and have wide access to its armoury. Recently, though predominately identified with the 1st Company, each Space Marine Company maintains its own Veteran Squads.
星际战士老兵大多是星际战士战团第一连的成员，即所谓的老兵连。他们构成了该战团久经沙场的核心，可以广泛使用其军械库。最近，虽然主要与第一连联系在一起，但每个星际战士连队都有自己的老兵小队。

Overview 概述
To be promoted into the 1st Company is a great honour for all battle-brothers. Those that have proven themselves worthy usually have centuries of service behind them and have risen to the rank of a sergeant. Sometimes a less experienced Marine may be accepted after committing several acts of outstanding heroism. The Marines of the 1st Company bear the privilege of taking the Chapter's finest and most revered equipment to battle, as well as the duty to return with it afterwards.
晋升为第一连队是所有战斗兄弟的莫大荣誉。那些证明自己值得的人通常有几个世纪的服役经验，并已晋升为军士。有时，一个经验不足的星际战士在做出几次杰出的英勇行为后可能会被接受。第一连的星际战士有权携带战团最精良、最受尊敬的装备参加战斗，并有义务在战斗结束后携带这些装备返回。

Most frequently, 1st Company Veteran squads are attached to other Space Marine strike forces rather than the entire formation fighting as one. They are usually used as a devastatingly powerful adaptable force, capable of performing any role required of them. When working with other forces, they serve as peerless mentors and share their wisdom and experience with their less experienced Battle Brothers. Because of their status, Veterans take their pick from their Chapter's armouries and thus each warrior wages war with their preferred weaponry. Commanders know that Veteran squads are best utilized when given a wide remit to prosecute the battle in whichever way they deem best. As such, Veteran squads are much less rigid in their doctrine than the Battle-Brothers of other companies.
最常见的是，第一连老兵小队隶属于其他星际战士打击部队，而不是整个编队作为一个整体作战。他们通常被用作一种具有毁灭性的强大适应力，能够执行任何需要他们的角色。在与其他部队合作时，他们担任无与伦比的导师，并与经验不足的战斗兄弟分享他们的智慧和经验。由于他们的地位，老兵从他们战团的军械库中挑选武器，因此每个战士都用他们喜欢的武器发动战争。指挥官们知道，当老兵小队被赋予广泛的职权，以他们认为最好的方式进行战斗时，他们会得到最好的利用。因此，与其他连队的战斗兄弟相比，老兵小队的教义要宽松得多。
