Drop Pods are transports used primarily by Space Marines and Chaos Marines for orbital insertion and one-way rides.

空投舱是星际战士和混沌星际战士主要用于轨道空投和单向飞行的运输工具。

Adeptus Astartes have used Drop Pods since the time of the Great Crusade. The Drop Pods of the Adeptus Astartes look and work similarly to a ship's Life Pod and can carry either twelve normal Marines, a single Dreadnought or a single Thunderfire Cannon. They are launched from a Strike Cruiser or Battle Barge in low orbit towards the drop zone, usually amidst or near a battlefield. Once launched, they plummet through the atmosphere until retro jets fire to slow their descent. A machine spirit guides the pod to its destination and can receive further commands from the mother ship. Although the Pods become immobile after having landed they can be recovered by the Chapter's Techmarines and reused. Drop Pods are usually extracted by using far larger vessels that not intended to operate in a war zone. After that they are transported to the ships that deployed them, repaired if needed and used in the next battle, so many Drop Pods have been in service for centuries. Some Space Marine Chapters inscribe records of each drop onto the interior bulkheads of their Drop Pods, so other brothers can read them and take heart in the insuing battles.

阿斯塔特修会自大远征以来一直使用空投舱。阿斯塔特修会的空投舱外观和工作原理与船上的救生舱相似，可以携带十二名普通星际战士、一名无畏或一门雷火炮。它们从低轨道的打击巡洋舰或战斗驳船发射到投放区，通常在战场中或附近。一旦发射，它们就会在大气层中坠落，直到制动喷气火箭启动以减缓下降速度。机魂将空投舱引导到目的地，并可以从母舰接收进一步的命令。虽然空投舱在着陆后变得不动，但它们可以被战团的技术军士回收并重新使用。空降舱通常是通过使用不打算在战区作业的更大的船只来运输的。之后，它们被运送到部署它们的船只上，必要时进行维修并在下一场战斗中使用，因此许多空降舱已经服役了几个世纪。一些星际战士战团将每次空投的记录刻在他们的空投舱的内部舱壁上，这样其他兄弟就可以阅读这些记录，并在空投战斗中振作起来。

Standard Drop-Pods are most frequently armed with an array of either Storm Bolters or Deathwind Missile Launchers.

标准空投舱最常配备风暴爆矢枪或死风导弹发射器阵列。

Drop Pod 空投舱

There are also cargo-carrying pods that deliver a much needed ammunition to fighting troops even in the heat of battle.

还有一些载货舱，即使在战斗最激烈的时候，也能为战斗部队运送急需的弹药。

Anvillus Pattern Drop Pod 安维鲁斯型空投舱

Variant Patterns 变体型号

• Corvus Assault Pod: A variant pattern of drop pod used in a similar manner to a Boarding Torpedo; corvus assault pods are used to assault other ships or Space Stations in the void. A variant is also used by Warlord Titans to deliver troops on enemy walls.

• 渡鸦突击舱：一种与跳帮鱼雷类似的空投舱变体；渡鸦突击舱用于攻击太空中的其他船只或空间站。军阀泰坦也使用一种变体向敌人的堡垒运送部队。

Corvus Assault Pod 渡鸦突击舱

• Deathstorm Drop Pods,(also known as Deathwind Drop Pods) are a variant pattern that don't carry troops; instead they have weapon systems installed to rake the enemy with high levels of fire once they have landed and opened. They can be armed with either Whirlwind Launchers or Assault Cannons. Deathwinds can be directly dropped into the heart of an enemy position, in preparation for an attack.

• 死亡风暴空投舱（也称为死风空投舱）是一种不携带部队的变体型号；相反，他们安装了武器系统，一旦着陆并打开，就会用高强度的火力对敌人进行扫射。他们可以装备旋风发射器或突击炮。死风可以直接落入敌方阵地的中心，为进攻做准备。

Deathstorm Pattern Drop Pod 死亡风暴型空投舱

• Kharybdis Assault Claw, a monstrous Drop Pod and transport craft used by the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.

• 卡律布狄斯突击爪，一种巨大的空投舱和运输船，在大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间被阿斯塔特军团士兵使用。

• Dreadnought Drop Pod, allows a single Dreadnought to be deployed into the battle with minimal delay

• 无畏空投舱，允许在最小延迟的情况下将单个无畏部署到战斗中

Dreadnought Drop Pod 无畏空降舱

• Support Drop Pods are similar in role to Deathwind Drop Pods, carrying automated weaponry instead of troops. Upon landing, the pod opens to a turret-mounted plasma cannon. Unlike the Deathwind it is however capable of sustained operation.

• 支援空投舱的作用类似于死风空投舱，携带自动武器而不是部队。着陆后，空投舱打开，露出一门装在炮塔上的等离子炮。然而，与死风不同，它能够持续运行。

• Carrier Ascent Pods were used during the Horus Heresy and were fired at warships from moons or planetoids held by the Space Marine Legions. Their engines allowed them to climb up a modest gravity well and once in space, they could be quickly steered into a new direction if need be. The Ascent Pods were also equipped with armored cowls at their front, which provided protection for the Legionaries they carried, as the Pods collided with their targets.

• 运载上升舱在荷鲁斯叛乱期间被使用，并从星际战士控制的卫星或小行星上向舰船发射。他们的发动机使他们能够攀登一个适度的重力井，一旦进入太空，如果需要，他们可以迅速转向一个新的方向。上升舱的前部还配备了装甲罩，当舱体与目标碰撞时，为他们携带的老兵提供保护。

• Legion Palisade Drop Pod were used by the Space Marine Legions and carried powerful Shield Generators that projected energy forcefields. They were deployed to protect other Drop Pods and their contents from enemy fire.

• 军团帕利塞德空降舱被星际战士使用，并携带强大的护盾发生器，可以投射能量力场。他们被部署来保护其他空降舱及其内容物免受敌人的攻击。

Chaos Space Marines 混沌星际战士

Dreadclaw 恐怖爪

The Dreadclaw is an ancient Drop Pod variant that can also be used as an assault boat for ship-to-ship combat. Unlike other Drop Pods it is able to take off after landing. Dreadclaws are exclusively used by Chaos Space Marines.

恐怖爪是一种古老的空降舱变体，也可以用作舰对舰战斗的突击艇。与其他空降舱不同，它能够在着陆后起飞。恐怖爪仅由混沌星际战士使用。

Other Forces 其他部队

The assassins of the Eversor Temple are deployed in special Drop Pods that prepare them for their missions. These Pods are equipped with neuro-links that feed the details of the mission to the assassin while remote links activate and begin to prepare his body for the task at hand.

艾弗森神庙的刺客被部署在特殊的空投舱中，为他们的任务做好准备。这些舱体配备了神经链接，可以向刺客提供任务的细节，同时远程链接会激活并开始为他的身体准备手头的任务。

• The Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas occasionally deploy via Dominica-pattern Drop Pods, a pattern of Drop Pod that can carry five unaugmented humans, when undertaking special high risk missions such as infiltrations behind enemy lines, chirurgical strikes against high value targets, or disabling the command structure of a renegade Space Marine chapter. Such operations are usually requested by the Ordo Hereticus, with support of the Imperial Navy. Each Order Militant maintains a small number of Drop Pods exclusively for those operations, and their use is reserved to elite troops such as the Celestians and Dominions. This includes a variant of the Deathwind Drop Pod, which will then be armed with weapons favored by the Sororitas, either five twin Heavy Bolters or Multi-Meltas.

• 修女会的战斗姐妹偶尔会通过多米尼卡型空降舱部署，这是一种可以携带五名未增强人类的空降舱型号，用于执行特殊的高风险任务，如渗透敌后、对高价值目标进行外科手术式打击或使叛变的星际战士的指挥结构失效。此类行动通常是由攘外修会在帝国海军的支持下请求的。每个修会武装都保留了少量专门用于这些行动的空投舱，它们的使用仅限于洁天使和权天使等精英部队。这包括一种死风空投舱的变体，配备修女青睐的武器，五个双重型爆矢枪或多管热熔。

• Some Ecclesiarchy vessels such as the Hammer of Thor are also equipped with gigantic Drop Pods able to hold several vehicles and the accompanying infantry, shot directly from Macro cannons. These pods sport numerous searchlights on their exterior hull to illuminate the surroundings after landing.

• 一些教会战舰，如雷神之锤，也配备了巨大的空投舱，可以容纳几辆车和随行的步兵，直接从宏炮射击。这些空投舱在其外部舱体上安装了许多探照灯，以便在着陆后照亮周围环境。
