Amar Astarte was a Terran scientist during the Unification Era instrumental in the creation of the Adeptus Astartes.

阿马尔·阿斯塔特是统一时代的一位人族科学家，在创建阿斯塔特修会方面发挥了重要作用。

Amar was born on Terra during the Age of Strife and for a time served the brutal warlords of the planet, surviving by offering them her intellect. She attempted to fashion for them genetically modified super soldiers, but these attempts all ended in horrific failure. Eventually Amar met the Emperor and became convinced he was a truly great leader. Amar became the first director of the Emperor's Biotechnical Division and worked on the creation of the Space Marines. She was known as one of the greatest geneticists of her era, outshining even the Selenar, and was known to be personally liked by the Emperor himself. She attempted to develop the Black Carapace, but the design was flawed and had to later be perfected by Ezekiel Sedayne.

阿马尔出生在纷争时代的泰拉，曾为地球上残酷的军阀服务过一段时间，通过提供她的智慧而幸存下来。她试图为他们打造转基因超级士兵，但这些尝试都以可怕的失败告终。最终，阿马尔见到了帝皇，并确信他是一位真正伟大的领袖。阿马尔成为了帝皇生物技术部门的第一任主任，并参与了星际战士的创建。她被称为她那个时代最伟大的遗传学家之一，甚至比赛琳娜还要耀眼，而且众所周知，帝皇本人也很喜欢她。她试图开发黑色甲壳，但设计有缺陷，后来不得不由以西结·塞丹完善。

By the end of the Unification Wars Amar had become withered, having apparently refused much in the way of Rejuvenat treatments or bionics. She wielded impressive artifacts from the Dark Age of Technology, most notably a personal Void Shield generator that not even the greatest Imperial servants could easily acquire. She had however come to believe that the Space Marine project was doomed to the same failure as the Thunder Warriors due to the absence of the Primarchs, who provided an anchor of genetic stability. Believing the Space Marines were doomed to failure and would bring disaster to the Galaxy, she plotted with Uwoma Kandawire and took part in the Palace Coup. During the coup she deployed her contingency plan, the Castellan Exemplars, which consisted of warriors she had secretly genetically engineered to be loyal only to her. However in the end the conspiracy unraveled in the face of the newly unleashed Angels of Death and amid the chaos Amar infiltrated her lab in the Imperial Dungeon and attempted to destroy all of the genetic lore on the Primarchs. She was confronted by the Custodian Samonas, but despite grievously wounding her the warrior was unable to prevent her from detonating the lab. Amar Astarte died in the explosion, but was apparently unaware that the Emperor had backed up her data and moved it to a safe location.

到统一战争结束时，阿马尔已经枯萎了，她显然拒绝了许多再生疗法或仿生部件。她挥舞着来自黑暗科技时代的令人印象深刻的遗物，最引人注目的是一个个人虚空盾生成器，即使是最伟大的帝国仆人也无法轻易获得。然而，她开始相信，由于没有提供遗传稳定性锚的原体，星际战士项目注定会与雷霆勇士一样失败。她相信星际战士注定要失败，会给银河系带来灾难，于是她与乌沃玛·坎达维尔密谋并参加了皇宫政变。在政变期间，她部署了她的应急计划，即“堡主典范”，其中包括她秘密基因改造的战士，只忠于她。然而，最终，面对新释放的死亡天使，阴谋破灭了，在混乱中，阿马尔潜入了她在帝国地牢的实验室，试图摧毁所有关于原体的基因知识。她遇到了禁军萨门纳斯，但尽管她受了重伤，这位战士仍无法阻止她引爆实验室。阿马尔·阿斯塔特在爆炸中死亡，但显然不知道帝皇已经备份了她的数据并将其转移到了一个安全的地方。
