The Sentry Gun, more commonly referred to as a Tarantula, is an Imperial automated mobile weapon system based upon ancient Imperial technology.
哨兵枪，通常被称为狼蛛，是一种基于古代帝国技术的帝国自动移动武器系统。
Overview 概述
Useful in a variety of roles, it is most notably used by the Imperial Guard, but is also utilized by other groups including the Adeptus Astartes and the Adeptus Arbites. The exact origin for its nickname is unknown also it is fair to assume that their multi-legged appearance can be attributed in part to this.
它在各种角色中都很有用，最著名的是被帝国卫队使用，但也被其他组织使用，包括阿斯塔特修会和法务部。它的绰号的确切来源尚不清楚，也可以公平地假设，它们的多足外观在一定程度上可以归因于此。
It is said that some Veteran Guardsmen venerate this arcane devices that saved their life on more than one occasions. It is not unheard of for dedications to the sentry's gun machine spirit to be found reverentially placed around it. This practice is frowned upon by most Imperial commanders and Commissars have been known to issue severe penalties to anyone Guardsman caught participating in such acts of unsanctioned worship.
据说，一些老兵卫队崇拜这种在多个场合拯救他们生命的神秘装置。在哨兵周围虔诚地供奉它的枪械机魂并非闻所未闻。这种做法是大多数帝国指挥官和政委所不赞成的，众所周知，任何被发现参与这种未经批准的礼拜行为的卫兵都会受到严厉的惩罚。
The main Forge Worlds of Tarantula's origin are Lucius, M'khand, Voss and Metalica.
狼蛛主要的起源锻造世界是卢修斯、麦克汉德、沃斯和梅塔利卡。
Design 设计
The Tarantula is a semi-robotic weapons platform, capable of moving and firing with heavy weapons. Its base has four wide feet which contain gravitic-reaction jets allowing it to hover and lift itself into place.
狼蛛是一种半机器人武器平台，能够移动和用重型武器射击。它的底座有四个宽脚，里面有反重力射流，使它能够悬停并将自己抬到适当的位置。

The Tarantula is controlled by a simple logic engine and infused with "the machine spirit," which allows it to operate without a controller. However, due to limits in the logic engine's targeting capabilities, it must be pre-set to fire in one of three distinct modes prior to being deployed into battle. In point defense mode the Tarantula will fire at targets that enter its fixed firing arc, designed to cover a particular area of the battlefield. Sentry mode is meant for close defense of the Tarantula's immediate area, allowing it to traverse completely to engage targets though at a shorter range. When engaged in interceptor mode, the Tarantula engages enemy craft such as drop pods which attempt to land in the area.
狼蛛由一个简单的逻辑引擎控制，并注入了“机魂”，使其可以在没有控制器的情况下运行。然而，由于逻辑引擎的瞄准能力有限，在部署到战斗中之前，必须将其预设为以三种不同模式之一射击。在点防御模式下，狼蛛将向进入其固定射击弧线的目标开火，该弧线旨在覆盖战场的特定区域。哨兵模式旨在近距离防御狼蛛的邻近区域，使其能够完全穿过区域去攻击目标，不过有效射程会更短一些。当处于拦截模式时，狼蛛会与试图降落在该地区的敌方飞行器（如空投舱）交战。
Each Tarantula includes its own targeting auspex and on-board power cell, though it is possible to hook multiple sentry guns to a single power generator for prolonged use. Once deployed the weapon system will continue to operate until it has run out of ammunition or it is destroyed and, unlike normal sentries, won't doze off or daydream while on duty.
每架狼蛛都有自己的瞄准占卜仪和机载电源，但也可以将多支哨兵枪连在一台发电机上长期使用。一旦部署，武器系统将继续运行，直到弹药耗尽或被摧毁，与普通哨兵不同，在执勤时不会打盹或做白日梦。

Many types of sentry guns exist, although the two most common variants are equipped either with twin Heavy Bolters for anti-infantry or twin Lascannons for anti-tank duty.
存在许多类型的哨兵枪，尽管两种最常见的变体要么配备了用于反步兵的双联重型爆矢枪，要么配备了双联激光炮用于反坦克任务。
Tactical Use 战术使用
The uses for these sentry guns are many and varied, from defending a perimeter from surprise attack to establishing a roadblock or operating as part of a static defensive line. However, their lack of inherit mobility restricts their use on a fluid battlefield. However, with their gravitic jets and ability to slowly hover they are able to simultaneously move and fire their heavy weapons, something baseline human weapons crews would be unable to do without lengthy set up and deployment . A Tarantula can be carried on the back of a Chimera, Rhino or by a Valkyrie in addition to their normal passenger compliment. Tarantulas can even be air-dropped via grav-chute and deployed from packing crates. Drop Regiments such as the famous Elysian Drop Troops often use Sentry Guns equipped with grav-chutes dropped from Valkyrie airborne assault carriers to help form defensive perimeters around captured objectives, especially when using them as part of a 'Castellan' Sentry Gun Defence Force.
这些哨兵枪的用途多种多样，从保护周边免受突袭到设置路障或作为静态防线的一部分。然而，它们缺乏固有的机动性，限制了它们在流动的战场上的使用。然而，凭借其反重力喷流和缓慢悬停的能力，它们能够同时移动和发射重型武器，是人类常规武器操作人员在没有经过长时间的准备和部署的情况下无法做到的。除了能搭载正常数量的乘客之外，奇美拉、犀牛或瓦尔基里的背上也可以搭载狼蛛。狼蛛甚至可以通过重力伞空投，并从板条箱中展开。空投部队，如著名的艾丽西亚空投部队，经常使用配备有从瓦尔基里空降突击运输机上投掷的配重力伞的哨兵枪，以帮助在捕获的目标周围形成防御周界，特别是在将其用作“堡主”哨兵枪防御部队的一部分时。
Arbites sentry guns are often used for crowd control and riot suppression in addition to defending their precinct houses.
除了保卫他们的警区房屋外，法务哨兵枪还经常用于人群控制和骚乱镇压。

Space Marines 星际战士
Many Chapters maintain a supply of Tarantula sentry guns which help alleviate some of the manpower concerns they face. Though they favor a highly-mobile form of warfare, Space Marines still find many uses for the Tarantula. This includes defending landing sites and extraction routes by providing a remote rearguard to delay any pursuing enemies. Space Marine Scouts have also used sentry guns to create an automated ambush, infiltrating into enemy territory to set up a disassembled camouflaged Tarantula and withdrawing to safety. Tarantulas can also be deployed from the backs of Land Raiders, Rhino and Razorback transports, as well as via grav-chute from Thunderhawk gunships. Some variants used by Space Marines are even able to be deployed via drop pod. Groups of sentry guns used to defend an area are often known as an Automated Defence Force.
许多战团都有狼蛛哨兵枪的供应，这有助于缓解他们面临的一些人力问题。尽管星际战士喜欢高度机动的战争形式，但他们仍然发现狼蛛有很多用途。这包括通过提供远程后卫来延迟任何追击的敌人，从而保卫登陆点和撤离路线。星际战士侦察兵还使用哨兵枪进行自动伏击，渗透到敌方领土，设置一个可拆卸的伪装狼蛛，并撤退到安全地带。狼蛛也可以从兰德掠袭者、犀牛和豪猪运输车的后部部署，也可以通过雷鹰炮艇的重力伞部署。星际战士使用的一些变体甚至可以通过空投舱进行部署。用于保卫一个地区的哨兵枪组通常被称为自动防御部队。
automated Hyperios Missile launcher 自动许珀里翁导弹发射器
These Tarantulas utilize the same technology found in the automated turrets of Razorback transports. More often than not they are created by salvaging the turret from a destroyed Razorback and converting it into a sentry gun, with the aid of a Techmarine reading the appropriate Rite of Salvage.
这些狼蛛采用了与豪猪运输车自动炮塔相同的技术。通常，它们是通过从被摧毁的豪猪上回收炮塔并将其改装成哨兵枪，在技术军士宣读适当的拯救仪式的帮助下制造的。
Hyperios Air Defense Command Platform 许珀里翁防空指挥平台
Space Marines also make use of a unique Tarantula mounting a Hyperios missile launcher. These Hyperios Platforms are controlled by a central command platform and fielded in batteries of up to four platforms each. The command platform, though unarmed, is equipped with a logis-engine and scanning equipment to detect incoming aircraft. Once an enemy is within range, it relays the targeting information to the nearest launcher which activates, tracks the target and fires on it. A battery of these systems are often used to defend important strategic locations from air attack; although not as effective as a true Whirlwind Hyperios due to the limits of the logis-engine, they are sufficient for static defense.
星际战士还使用了一种独特的狼蛛，上面安装着许珀里翁导弹发射器。这些许珀里翁平台由一个中央指挥平台控制，每个平台最多由四个平台组成。指挥平台虽然没有武装，但配备了逻辑引擎和扫描设备，用于探测来袭的飞机。一旦敌人进入射程内，它就会将目标信息传递给最近的发射器，发射器会激活、跟踪目标并向其开火。这些系统中的一组通常用于防御重要的战略位置免受空袭；尽管由于逻辑引擎的限制，它们不如真正的旋风许珀里翁有效，但它们足以进行静态防御。
During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy Tarantulas were equipped with a wider variety of weapons including not just Heavy Bolters or Lascannons but also Sentry Melta Arrays, Volkite Culverins,, Orias Frag Missiles, and Hyperios Missiles.
在大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间狼蛛配备了各种各样的武器，不仅包括重型爆矢枪或激光炮，还包括哨兵热熔阵列、爆燃长炮、奥里亚斯破片导弹和许珀里翁导弹。
