History 历史

Unusually, the design does not originate directly from the work of Archmagos Dominus Cawl’s Repulsor transports designs, but instead blends his innovations with STC technology supposedly recovered by the Minotaurs Chapter during the so-called Perun Cross Incident, a battle whose records are sealed to all but the higher echelons of the Inquisition. As such, production of these vehicles is focused among the more distant Forge Worlds, primarily the fortress-forge of Mezoa, where the gaze of Mars cannot so easily pry.

不同寻常的是，该设计并不是直接来源于神圣大贤者考尔的反击者运输设计，而是将他的创新与STC技术相结合，据称在所谓的佩伦十字事件中，米诺陶战团已经恢复了STC技术，这场战斗的记录除了审判庭的高层外无人所知。因此，这些载具的生产主要集中在更遥远的铸造世界，主要是梅佐亚的堡垒铸造厂，在那里，火星的目光无法轻易窥探。

Design 设计

The Astraeus has an enormous hull that mounts a devastating range of defensive and offensive systems. Its main weapons are a pair of Macro-Accelerator Cannons, which are coupled with sponson-mounted Las-Rippers or Plasma Eradicators, turret-mounted Heavy Stubber, and twin-linked Heavy Bolters or Lascannons mounted on the front of the vehicle. It is protected by layered void shields and is held aloft by powerful anti-gravitic generators, which are powerful deterrents to enemy assault units. Unlike the Repulsor, the Astraeus does not have any transport capacity – instead, this colossal machine is dedicated to destruction alone. While there are few targets that can stand up to one of the Astraeus Super-heavy Tank's furious fusillades, it particularly excels at shooting down aircraft.

阿斯特赖俄斯有一个巨大的车体，可以安装一系列毁灭性的防御和进攻系统。它的主要武器是一对巨型加速加农炮，与安装在侧舷的激光开膛手或等离子根除炮、安装在炮塔上的重型伐木枪和安装在车辆前部的双联重型爆矢枪或激光炮相结合。它由分层的虚空盾保护，并由强大的反重力发生器保持在空中，这对敌方突击部队具有强大的威慑力。与反击者不同，阿斯特赖俄斯没有任何运输能力，相反，这台巨大的机械专门用于毁灭。虽然很少有目标能够承受阿斯特赖俄斯超重型坦克的猛烈炮火，而且它尤其擅长击落飞行器。
