Description 描述
Built by the Squats, this awesome vehicle was supplied to the Imperial Guard as part of the mutual exchange of materials between the Homeworlds and the Imperium of Man. The Imperium uses its Leviathans as gigantic army group command centres for coordinating the vast numbers of men and vehicles found in Imperial Guard Regiments. The Squats employed the Leviathan as a massive troop carrier to transport special "Ironbreaker" Brotherhoods of Squat warriors into combat.
由矮人制造，这辆令人敬畏的车辆被提供给帝国卫队，作为家园世界和人类帝国之间相互交换物资的一部分。帝国将其利维坦作为庞大的集团军指挥中心，协调帝国卫队中的大量人员和车辆。矮人使用利维坦作为大型运兵车，将矮人战士的特殊“破铁者”兄弟运送到战斗中。
Standing a 100 or over 90 metres tall, each Leviathan contains extensive communication and surveillance equipment - including satellite uplinks and tiny flying spy robots - to allow a Colonel and his command staff to coordinate an entire regiment all at once. It also has room to carry an entire infantry company into battle. The Leviathan's main tactical command centre is a tiered chamber filled with display console and hundreds of logic engines with a strategium pit projecting a large holographic display at its centre. It projects a 3D continental map, tracking Guard movements and showing assessed enemy activities and emplacements as well as reported firefights in red, yellow, crimson and brown indicator runes. The command centre is manned by intelligence officers, tacticians and high-order servitors. Despite appearances, some Leviathans have luxurious rooms deep in their interior for formal officers' functions and events. A Leviathan is equipped with an intercom system to facilitate internal communications. Battle-data collected by the Leviathan's command centre can be shared with the data-slates of frontline officers over the vox-net.
每辆利维坦高100米或90米以上，都装有广泛的通信和监视设备，包括卫星上行链路和微型飞行间谍机器人，使团长和他的指挥人员能够同时协调整个团。它也有足够的空间将整个步兵连队带入战斗。利维坦的主要战术指挥中心是一个分层的房间，里面装满了显示控制台和数百个逻辑引擎，中心有一个战略坑，投影着一个大型全息显示器。它投影了一张3D大陆地图，跟踪卫队的行动，并以红色、黄色、深红色和棕色指示符文显示评估的敌方活动和阵地，以及报告的交火情况。指挥中心由情报员、战术家和高级机仆组成。尽管外表如此，一些利维坦在内部深处有豪华的房间，用于正式官员的宴会和社交。利维坦配备了对讲系统，以方便内部通信。利维坦指挥中心收集的作战数据可以通过音阵网络与前线军官的数据板共享。
A Leviathan also has a landing pad on its hunched back, capable of accommodating lifters, gunships and fliers like Valkyries and Destriers for refuelling and personnel transfer. The pad also has as a freight hoist, allowing landed freight objects to directly be brought onboard. The objects are deposited into a freight silo deep in the bowls of the vehicle. The Leviathan is powered by a huge enginarium in its belly featuring vast turbine powerplants to power its machinery, overseen by tech-adepts and engineers.
利维坦的后背还有一个着陆台，能够容纳升降机、炮艇和瓦尔基里与破坏者等飞行器，用于加油和人员转移。该平台还具有货运升降机功能，可以直接将着陆的货物运送到车上。这些物品被存放在车辆深处的货运筒仓中。利维坦号由其腹部的一个巨大发动机提供动力，该发动机配备了巨大的涡轮动力装置，为其机械提供动力，由技术专家和工造士监督。
Protecting the Leviathan are metres-thick armour plating and four Titan-scale Void Shields. Its primary weapon is the massive Doomsday Cannon mounted in the prow of the vehicle. It also carries a turreted Battlecannon, Lascannons and Bolters that can provide all-around protection. The Doomsday Cannon can be heard from fifty miles away firing ten-yard long shells. Leviathans can also mount Mega-bolters. Its armament are primarily designed to engage and destroy infantry. In a Leviathan-on-Leviathan duel, it is impossible for one to destroy the other, as soon as the Void shields are raised. However, an immobilised Leviathan is vulnerable to boarding action by another. For this reason, Leviathans carry Corvus ramps. To detect unauthorised intruders, a Leviathan is equipped with internal scanners.
保护利维坦的是数米厚的装甲板和四个泰坦级的虚空盾。它的主要武器是安装在车辆前部的巨大的末日炮。它还配备了炮塔式战斗炮、激光炮和爆矢枪，可以提供全方位的保护。从五十英里外可以听到末日大炮发射十码长的炮弹。利维坦还可以安装巨型爆矢枪。它的武器主要是用来攻击和摧毁步兵的。在利维坦对利维坦决斗中，一旦虚空盾升起，一方就不可能摧毁另一方。然而，一辆一动不动的利维坦很容易受到另一辆的攻击。因此，利维坦携带渡鸦突击舱。为了检测未经授权的入侵者，利维坦配备了内部扫描仪。
Leviathans can be docked together to serve as a mobile campaign HQ, forming a cross if four such vehicles are involved.
利维坦可以停靠在一起作为移动作战总部，如果涉及四辆这样的车辆，就可以形成一个十字。
