The Adeptus Mechanicus, also formerly known as the Mechanicum, is a technological organisation, often known as the Priesthood of Mars. It holds a monopoly on technological knowledge in the Imperium. Their Forge Worlds turn out the Imperium's most powerful and advanced weaponry and equipment. The organisation's adepts, the Tech-priests, are vital in maintaining much of the Imperium's more technologically advanced equipment, not least of which is the Emperor's life-sustaining Golden Throne.
机械神教，前身为机械师协会，是一个技术组织，通常被称为火星祭司。它垄断了帝国的技术知识。他们的铸造世界生产出帝国最强大、最先进的武器和装备。该组织的专家，即技术神甫，在维护帝国大部分技术更先进的设备方面至关重要，尤其是帝皇维持生命的黄金王座。
Overview 概述
While the Adeptus Mechanicus is a part of the Imperium, it has developed separately and enjoys a considerable degree of independence. Due to the great amount of power it wields, the Adeptus Mechanicus could almost be said to be like an allied empire, rather than an organisation within the Imperium. The Adeptus Mechanicus also follows a different religion from the rest of the Imperium. The religion and religious structure of the Adeptus Mechanicus is known as the Cult Mechanicus. The symbol of the Adeptus Mechanicus is a skull, half-bone and half-machine, set against the background of a black and white cog.
虽然机械神教是帝国的一部分，但它是独立发展的，享有相当程度的独立性。由于它拥有巨大的权力，机械神教几乎可以说是一个结盟的帝国，而不是帝国内部的一个组织。机械神教也遵循与帝国其他成员不同的宗教。机械神教的宗教和宗教结构被称为机械教派。机械神教的象征标志是一个头骨，一半是骨头，一半是机械，背景是一个黑白齿轮。
Adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus are known as tech-priests. Any member of the Cult Mechanicus over the rank of menial will often be referred to as a tech-priest, though Magi and higher ranks are usually referred to by rank. As befits the religious nature of the Mechanicus, tech-priests usually wear robes, which are usually either rust-red or white. Tech-priests are often cybernetically augmented. The level of a techpriest's augmentation is highly dependent on his rank within the Cult Mechanicus; a novice may have only one or two augmented systems, if any, while very senior members may have only a few biological organs left in their bodies.
精通机械艺术的人被称为技术神甫。任何超过仆人级别的机械神教成员通常都会被称为技术神甫，尽管贤者和更高级别的人通常是按级别称呼的。为了符合机械神教的宗教性质，技术神甫通常穿着长袍，长袍通常是铁锈红色或白色的。技术神甫经常在智控上得到增强。技术神甫的增强程度在很大程度上取决于他在机械神教中的地位；新手可能只有一两个增强系统（如果有的话），而非常资深的成员可能体内只剩下几个生物器官。
Members of the Mechanicum are often fast-grown in vats, infused with a instinctual level of knowledge due to data uplinks during their gestation. They are then born already post-adolescence and are promptly put to work. Members can also come from Imperials, who have been converted by the Sect Missionarius Mechanicus and even the Squat Abhuman subspecies.
机械教的成员通常在大桶中快速成长，由于在培育期间的数据上行链路，他们被灌输了本能的知识水平。然后，他们在青春期后出生，并迅速投入工作。成员也可以来自帝国，他们已经被机械传道士教派甚至矮人亚人亚种皈依。
Origins and history 起源和历史
Early history 早期历史
The birthplace of the Martian Mechanicum was the ancient Forge World Mars. Mars was colonised early in human history, and developed separately from Terra, both culturally and technologically. The arid surface of Mars was terraformed, and under a man-made atmosphere the colony flourished.
火星机械教的诞生地是古老的铸造世界火星。火星在人类历史早期就被殖民了，在文化和技术上都与泰拉分开发展。火星干旱的表面被地球化，在人造大气下，殖民地蓬勃发展。
Tech-priest 技术神甫
During the Dark Age of Technology, the two empires of Terra and Mars co-existed, to the mutual benefit of both. At the height of its splendour during the Golden Age, and even later in the anarchic Age of Strife, Mars dispatched hundreds of colony fleets into the void. Many perished in the terrible Warp storms that engulfed the galaxy at that time, but others survived. Those that did founded new worlds in the name of the Machine God, building on them a likeness of the great factories and temples of their distant home world. The Age of Strife brought an end to the glory and peace of the human domains. Across the galaxy mankind suddenly turned upon itself as a new breed of Warp-attuned humans emerged. Civil war engulfed thousands of human worlds, including the twin empires of Terra and Mars.
在黑暗技术时代，泰拉和火星这两个帝国共存，互惠互利。在黄金时代最辉煌的时候，甚至在无政府主义的纷争时代后期，火星派遣了数百支殖民舰队进入太空。许多人在当时席卷银河系的可怕的亚空间风暴中丧生，但其他人幸存下来。那些以万机神的名义建立了新世界的人，在它们上面建造了与他们遥远家园的伟大工厂和神殿相像的一切。纷争时代结束了人类领地的荣耀与和平。随着一种新的适应亚空间的人类出现，整个银河系的人类突然转向了内战。内战吞噬了数千个人类世界，包括泰拉和火星这两个帝国。
Because of lack of maintenance during this time, Mars's atmospheric radiation shields soon disintegrated, allowing deadly solar radiation to destroy the fragile ecosystem and wiping out sparse vegetation which had taken millennia to cultivate. Mars returned to being the red wasteland of the past. Plagues caused by high radiation levels slew most of the population. Many of the survivors devolved into mutants or gibbering cannibals. The destruction of the entire planet seemed likely. However, this was not to be, for a new idea began to spread among the people, a religion of survival - the Cult Mechanicus dedicated to the Machine God. The religious devotees sought out the now scattered technology needed to rebuild temporary radiation shelters. The cult demanded absolute devotion from its followers, for only by selfless dedication and often personal sacrifice could machines be recovered or the planet saved. Under the direction of their Tech-priest leaders, the cultists set about restoring order to the world. They built shelters to protect themselves from the radiation storms, and oxygen generators and food processing machines to enable them to live behind the enclosed shielding.
由于在此期间缺乏维护，火星的大气辐射屏蔽很快瓦解，致命的太阳辐射摧毁了脆弱的生态系统，并摧毁了数千年来培育的稀疏植被。火星又回到了过去的红色荒原。高辐射水平造成的瘟疫夺去了大部分人口的生命。许多幸存者变成了变种人或口齿不清的食人族。整个星球似乎都有可能毁灭。然而，事实并非如此，因为一种新的思想开始在人们中传播，一种生存的宗教——致力于万机神的机械教派。宗教信徒们寻找重建临时辐射避难所所需的分散技术。该教派要求其追随者绝对奉献，因为只有通过无私奉献和个人牺牲，才能恢复机械或拯救星球。在他们的技术神甫领袖的指导下，教派开始恢复世界秩序。他们建造了避难所来保护自己免受辐射风暴的影响，还建造了氧气发生器和食品加工机，使他们能够住在封闭的屏蔽后面。
Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus 机械神教技术神甫
There were few shelters even for the Tech-priests and none for unbelievers. Marauders and mutant raiders tried to force their way inside the hurriedly constructed buildings. Many of the cultists died defending their shelters and some early shelters were destroyed, but the survivors emerged all the stronger and more determined. The people interpreted their survival in the face of tremendous odds as vindication of the Cult Mechanicus. Their resolve and devotion to the cult became unshakable. While rival warlords battled over the remnants of Terra the Tech-priests built Mars anew, and the first temples of the Machine God were built. The Tech-priests scoured the ruins of Mars for surviving machinery which they enshrined within the Temple of All Knowledge. Within the temple's plasteel shell shining pistons held the vaulted roof almost a mile above. The shafts of each piston were so constructed that they moved to raise and lower the roof, altering its acoustic properties to accentuate the hymns of praise sung to the Machine God. The High Altar within took the form of a vast database containing the whole knowledge of the Tech-priests. Even today every new discovery is dedicated to this altar. Every temple on Mars and throughout the Forge Worlds is connected to the High Altar by means of a living Transmat link, a psychic Servitor whose mind co-joins all altars of the Cult Mechanicus into one holy machine entity.
即使是科技神甫，也几乎没有避难所，无信者也没有避难所。掠夺者和变种袭击者试图强行闯入匆忙建造的建筑。许多信徒在保卫他们的避难所时死亡，一些早期的避难所也被摧毁，但幸存者们变得更加坚强和坚定。人们将他们在巨大困难面前的生存解释为对机械教派的辩护。他们对教派的决心和忠诚变得不可动摇。当敌对军阀争夺泰拉的遗迹时，技术神甫重新建造了火星，并建造了第一座万机神殿。技术神甫们在火星的废墟中搜寻幸存的机械，并将其供奉在所有知识的圣殿中。在圣殿的塑钢外壳内，闪闪发光的活塞支撑着近一英里高的拱形屋顶。每个活塞的轴都是这样构造的，它们可以移动以升高和降低屋顶，改变其声学特性，以突出向万机神唱的赞美诗。内部的至高祭坛采用了一个庞大的数据库的形式，其中包含了技术神甫的全部知识。即使在今天，每一个新发现都献给了这座祭坛。火星上和整个铸造世界的每一座神殿都通过一个活着的传输者链接与至高祭坛相连，传输者是一个灵能机仆，他的思想将机械教的所有祭坛共同连接成一个神圣的机械实体。
Now unified under the Cult Mechanicus, the Priesthood of Mars began to dispatch Explorator Fleets across the galaxy and even plundered the surface of war-torn Terra itself in hopes of discovering lost technologies. Facing resistance to their quest on the planet's surface, the Adeptus Mechanicus soon became bitter enemies with the Techno-barbarians which plagued Terra and thus welcomed the eventual arrival of the Emperor.
现在，在机械教派的统一下，火星祭司开始派遣探索舰队穿越银河系，甚至掠夺饱受战争蹂躏的泰拉表面，希望发现丢失的技术。面对对他们在地球表面的探索的抵抗，机械神教很快就成为了困扰泰拉的科技蛮人的死敌，因此欢迎帝皇的最终到来。
Union with the Imperium 与帝国联盟
After the Emperor formed the Imperium, he engendered support with the Martian Mechanicum, an already existing empire. On Mars, he was commonly seen as the Omnissiah, the earthly representative of the Machine God, due to his ability to seemingly instantly repair machinery with a mere touch. After landing in a golden ship on Mars' surface The Emperor came before the Mechanicum Parliament on Mars, pledging that in return for supplying arms to his armies and building a mighty war fleet, the Emperor would protect and the respect the sovereignty of the Mechanicum's Forge Worlds. In addition, he would donate six Navigator Houses to Mars, whose supply of Navigators had since dwindled. Given such incentives the Martian Parliament and Fabricator-General agreed to the terms, and the formal alliance between the Adeptus Mechanicus and Imperium was signed on Terra between the Martian Ambassador and the Emperor.
帝皇建立帝国后，他得到了火星机械教的支持，这是一个已经存在的帝国。在火星上，他通常被视为万机神的地球代表欧姆尼赛亚，因为他似乎只需轻轻一触就能立即修复机械。在火星表面登上一艘金色飞船后，帝皇来到火星上的机械师议会，承诺作为向军队提供武器和建立强大舰队的回报，帝皇将保护和尊重机械教铸造世界的主权。此外，他还将向火星捐赠六个导航者家族，此后火星的导航者供应量逐渐减少。考虑到这些激励措施，火星议会和铸造将军同意了这些条款，火星大使和帝皇在泰拉上签署了机械教和帝国之间的正式联盟。
The Treaty was not celebrated by all of the Tech-Priest elements on Mars. Many Tech-Priests saw the Emperor as a warlord seeking to subordinate the Mechanicum and limit their technological research. Among these was Kelbor-Hal.
火星上的所有技术神甫成员都没有庆祝该条约。许多技术神甫认为帝皇是一个军阀，试图使机械教从属并限制他们的技术研究。凯尔博·哈尔就是其中之一。
Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱
During the Horus Heresy, the Mechanicum, like most other branches of the Imperial military, found itself divided in loyalty. Many Mechanicum units declared for the Warmaster Horus, some retained their loyalty to the Imperium and some seceded altogether to remain neutral during the conflict.
在荷鲁斯叛乱时期，机械教和帝国军队的大多数其他分支一样，发现自己的忠诚度存在分歧。许多机械教部队宣布支持战帅荷鲁斯，一些人保留了对帝国的忠诚，一些人在冲突期间完全脱离，保持中立。
The Adeptus Mechanicus at war 战争中的机械神教
Horus was able to convince the Fabricator-General himself, Kelbor-Hal, to join forces with him on the condition that the autonomy of the Mechanicum be ensured, and that the STCs the Sons of Horus had captured from the recently subjugated but technologically advanced Auretian Technocracy be handed over to him. Kelbor-Hal's deputy, the Fabricator Locum Kane, remained loyal to the Emperor however, which initiated a civil war on the Red Planet known as the Schism of Mars that mirrored the larger conflict raging across the galaxy.
荷鲁斯成功地说服了铸造将军凯尔博·哈尔本人与他联手，条件是确保机械教的自治权，并将荷鲁斯之子从最近被征服但技术先进的奥瑞提亚科技联盟手中夺取的STC移交给他。凯尔博·哈尔的副手，铸造代理凯恩仍然忠于帝皇，在这颗红色星球上发动了一场内战，称为火星分裂，这反映了整个银河系的更大冲突。
The Mechanicum considered the division of the Mechanicum with Hal and Kane both claiming the title of Fabricator General an unresolved equation, known as the "binary succession". In an attempt to resolve this, Ambassador Vethorel, Fabricator General Kane's representative on the Council of Terra, proposed to resolve this by the creation of a new Adeptus, the Adeptus Mechanicus. Despite the Mechanicum's concerns for their independence and the council's fears of a Martian power-grab, the resolution passed after the Collegia Titanica threatened to abandon the Solar War and the Imperator Titan Magnificum Incendius of the Legio Ignatum marched on the Great Chamber of the Senatorum Imperialis.
机械教认为，哈尔和凯恩都声称拥有铸造将军的头衔，这是一个未解决的方程式，被称为“二元继承”。为了解决这个问题，铸造将军凯恩在泰拉议会的代表维索雷尔大使提议通过创建一个新的部门，即机械神教来解决这个问题。尽管机械教担心他们的独立性，议会也担心火星夺权，但在泰坦修会威胁要放弃太阳战争，以及烈焰军团的帝皇级泰坦滔天烈焰在帝国议会大会议厅前游行后通过决议。
The Mechanicum units that fought against the Emperor would come to be known in later times as the Dark Mechanicum.
与帝皇作战的机械教部队在后来被称为黑暗机械教。
Post-Heresy 叛乱后
In the last 10,000 years since the Great Heresy, the Adeptus Mechanicus has become fanatically ingrained in the dogma of the Cult Mechanicus. As their Forge Worlds supply mankind with vital weaponry and technology, the Adeptus Mechanicus continues their Quest for Knowledge and vigorously hunt for remains of precious STCs. Major conflicts over the tenets of the Cult Mechanicus have plagued the Adeptus Mechanicus, most notable of which include the Moirae Schism, Martian Civil War, and Elucidan Schism.
在大叛乱以来的一万年里，机械神教已经狂热地植根于机械教派的教条中。当他们的铸造世界为人类提供重要的武器和技术时，机械教继续他们对知识的追求，并大力寻找珍贵的STC遗骸。关于机械教派教义的重大冲突一直困扰着机械神教，其中最著名的包括莫伊拉分裂、火星内战和阐明分裂。
However, over the millennia, the ability of the Adeptus Mechanicus to reproduce technology from the Great Crusade has gradually diminished. Even the Golden Throne, cornerstone of the Imperium, is proving beyond the ability of the Adeptus Mechanicus to repair and maintain.
然而，几千年来，机械神教复制大远征技术的能力逐渐减弱。即使是帝国的基石黄金王座，也被证明是机械神教无法修复和维护的。
Dark Imperium 黑暗帝国
With the creation of the Great Rift, many worlds of the Mechanicum became stranded within the Dark Imperium. Other worlds were using isolation as a pretext to declare independence. Faced with crisis, the core Forge Worlds of the Adeptus Mechanicus organised reclamation fleets to reestablish contact with these lost worlds and remind them of their duty to Mars.
随着大裂隙的形成，许多机械教世界被困在黑暗帝国中。其他世界则以孤立为借口宣布独立。面对危机，机械神教的核心铸造世界组织了回收舰队，以重建与这些失落世界的联系，并提醒他们对火星的责任。
Beliefs 信仰
Cult Mechanicus 机械教派
We know every fleeting life form is a cog in the grand mechanism. Cast off your weak flesh and accept the glory of the Machine God. We know mortal frailty pales before the secrets revealed to the faithful, and with the wisdom of creation at our fingertips there is no prize beyond our acquisition.
我们知道，每一个短暂的生命形态都是宏大机制中的一个齿轮。抛开你那脆弱的肉身，接受万机神的荣耀吧。我们明白，在向虔诚者揭示的奥秘面前，凡胎肉体的脆弱微不足道。当造物的智慧尽在我们掌握之中时，没有什么奖赏是我们无法获取的。
--Declaration of the Trimechirate of the Eternal Forge.
--永恒熔炉三巨头宣言
Although the Emperor is venerated by the Adeptus Mechanicus for his ancient knowledge and comprehension, the techpriests do not follow the Imperial Cult, but a wholly different religion, known as the Cult Mechanicus or the Cult of the Machine.
虽然帝皇因其古老的知识和理解力而受到机械神教的崇拜，但技术神甫并不信奉帝国教派，而是信奉一种完全不同的宗教，称为机械教派或机器教派。
Techpriests performing their rituals 技术神甫们正在进行他们的仪式
The Cult Mechanicus originated during the Age of Strife. According to its teachings, knowledge is the supreme manifestation of divinity, and all creatures and artefacts that embody knowledge are holy because of it. Machines that preserve knowledge from ancient times are also holy, and machine intelligences are no less divine than those of flesh and blood. A man's worth is only the sum of his knowledge - his body is simply an organic machine capable of preserving intellect. In the Cult's tenets, life itself is of no intrinsic value. One of the most obvious examples of this belief is the techpriests' use of humans as raw material in the creation of the machine-slaves known as servitors.
机械教派起源于纷争时代。根据其教义，知识是神性的最高体现，所有体现知识的生物和人工制品都因此而神圣。保存古代知识的机器也是神圣的，机器智能与血肉之躯一样神圣。一个人的价值只是他的知识的总和—他的身体只是一个能够保存智力的有机机器。在教派的信条中，生命本身没有内在价值。这种信念最明显的例子之一是技术神甫在创造被称为机仆的机器奴隶时使用人类作为原材料。
To the Cult Mechanicus, machines represent a higher form of life than that created through biological evolution. The ultimate object of the cult's veneration is known as the Machine God (or the Deus Mechanicus), which is believed to have given rise to all technologies and made them manifest through his chosen illuminati among mankind. The Machine God may be the C'tan Void Dragon, who may be the Dragon of Mars that has been entombed on Mars for millennia and was worshipped by the Cult Mechanicus before the rise of the Emperor.
对于机械教派来说，机器代表了一种比生物进化更高的生命形式。该教派崇拜的最终对象被称为万机神（或机械神），据信它产生了所有技术，并通过他在人类中选择的先觉者使其显现出来。万机神可能是星神虚空龙，它可能是埋在火星上数千年的火星之龙，在帝皇崛起之前被机械教派崇拜。
The Cult Mechanicus awaits the arrival of the Omnissiah, a prophesised physical avatar of the Machine God. During the Great Crusade the forces of the Emperor liberated many of the forge worlds founded as colonies of Mars in ancient times. On his arrival at many of these worlds, the Cult Mechanicus recognised the Emperor as the long awaited Omnissiah.
机械教派等待着欧姆尼赛亚的到来，欧姆尼赛亚是万机神的预言化身。在大远征期间，帝皇的军队解放了许多古代作为火星殖民地建立的铸造世界。当他到达许多这样的世界时，机械教派认出帝皇是期待已久的欧姆尼赛亚。
The sacred number of Adeptus Mechanicus is 12, so each macroclade of this organisation is composed of four cohorts, each consisting of three maniples (12 maniples in total).
机械神教的神圣数字是12，因此该组织的每个宏枝由四个大队组成，每个大队由三个支队组成（总共12个支队）。
The Quest for Knowledge 对知识的追求
The Quest for Knowledge is the driving mission of the Adeptus Mechanicus. The quest consists of research and exploration, but ultimately the focus of the quest is on the recovery of a working Standard Template Construct ("STC") system. The purpose of the many exploratory missions is the recovery of STC knowledge.
对知识的追求是机械神教的核心使命。该任务包括研究和探索，但最终任务的重点是恢复一个可用的标准模板构建（“STC”）系统。许多探索任务的目的是恢复STC知识。
member of the Adeptus Mechanicus 机械神教成员
For thousands of years the Tech-priests have pursued all information about the STC. To the Mechanicus, it is their lost bible. Any information on the STC including the scraps of knowledge recorded on hard copy designs are sought out and kept as holy texts. No functional STC systems have ever been recovered. The STC survives only as print-outs, some of which are many thousands of years old. Although considered the most reliable, there are very few first generation print-outs, and these are regarded as the most sacred of texts.
数千年来，技术神甫一直在追查有关STC的所有信息。对于机械教来说，这是他们丢失的圣经。关于STC的任何信息，包括硬拷贝设计上记录的零碎知识，都会被作为神圣的文本进行查找和保存。STC系统从未恢复过功能。STC仅以复制品的形式存在，其中一些已有数千年的历史。虽然被认为是最可靠的，但很少有第一代，这些复制品被视为最神圣的文本。
Through the Tech-priests' efforts much has been recovered or reconstructed through comparison of copies, although preserved knowledge of the most advanced technology eludes the Adeptus Mechanicus. Most of the early colonists' needs were simple and very few would have bothered to preserve the more theoretical and advanced technological information the STC contained.
通过技术神甫的努力，通过复制品的比较，已经恢复或重建了许多东西，尽管机械神教无法保留最先进技术的知识。早期殖民者的需求大多很简单，很少有人会费心保存STC中包含的更理论和更先进的技术信息。
Factions 派系
Like the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy, the Adeptus Mechanicus has a number of philosophical factions within it which dictate an individuals pursuit of the Quest for Knowledge. These factions include:

Language 语言
Lingua-technis or Techna-Lingua is the official language of the Adeptus Mechanicus and part of the collective Cant Mechanicus. It is a binary language, optimised for quick communication of technical data, which consists of a burst of static emitted through the bionic implants of members of the Mechanicum which cannot be understood by unaugmented humans.
机械之音或技术之语是机械神教的官方语言，也是机械之语集体的一部分。它是一种二进制语言，针对技术数据的快速通信进行了优化，其中包括通过机械教成员的仿生植入物发出的一股静电，未经认证的人类无法理解。
Organisation 组织
The Adeptus Mechanicus is internally organised along a feudal structure, with lesser domains owing allegiance to major Forge Worlds, who in turn have sworn fealty to the Fabricator-General of Mars. This feudal hierarchy extends to their military forces, with each Forge World being responsible for raising and maintaining their own forces for the service of the greater Mechanicum. Many Forge Worlds oversee their own petty empires.
机械神教内部按照封建结构组织，较小的领地效忠于主要的铸造世界，而锻造世界则宣誓效忠火星铸造将军。这种封建等级制度延伸到他们的军队，每个铸造世界都负责培养和维护自己的军队，为更大的机械教服务。许多铸造世界监督着自己的小帝国。

Adeptus Mechanicus Fleet 机械神教舰队
Because the Quest for Knowledge can involve long, ardurous forays into unexplored space; the Adeptus Mechanicus have at their disposal a large fleet of starships. It is important that these vessels be heavily armed and armoured, not only for their own protection from those who covet their technology but to engage in combat when necessary to secure vital data or artefacts that may prove cruical to the Quest. Though the total number of ships the Adeptus Mechanicus has at its disposal dispersed among its many forge worlds is far outnumbered by that of the Imperial Navy, it goes without saying that those responsible for all starship construction reserve for themselves among the most powerful and best-equipped warships encountered anywhere in the Imperium.
因为对知识的追求可能涉及对未开发空间的长期、艰苦的探索；机械神教拥有庞大的星舰舰队。这些战舰必须全副武装和装甲，这不仅是为了保护自己免受那些觊觎其技术的人的攻击，也是为了在必要时参与战斗，以保护可能对任务至关重要的重要数据或文物。尽管机械神教在其众多铸造世界中可支配的船只总数远远超过了帝国海军，但毫无疑问，负责所有星舰建造的人都是帝国任何地方遇到的最强大、装备最好的战舰之一。

Mechanicus fleets have access to the same types of vessel as the Imperial Fleet, as well as other unique vessels such as the near-legendary Ark Mechanicus.
机械教舰队可以使用与帝国舰队相同类型的战舰，以及其他独特的战舰，如近乎传奇的机械方舟。
Military Organization 军事组织
The following illustrates the organisation of the fighting forces of the Adeptus Mechanicus. This example is an oversimplification of Martian forces as wrought by the Principia Militaris of the Adeptus Munitorum. It strictly represents the military of Mars as it stands in the late decades of the 41st Millennium.

Development History 发展历史
While present in the original incarnation of 1987 Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and further fleshed out in 1993's Codex Imperialis, the Adeptus Mechanicus were frequently mentioned throughout Warhammer 40,000 lore. However they would not become a fully playable faction in Warhammer 40,000 until 2015's Codex: Skitarii and Codex: Cult Mechanicus for the 7th Edition. These armies were regrouped into a single faction with the release of 2017's Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus for the 8th Edition.
虽然存在于1987年的战锤40000：行商浪人最初引入，并在1993年的帝国圣典中得到了进一步的充实，但机械神教在战锤40000的传说中经常被提及。然而，直到2015年的圣典:护教军和第7版圣典:机械教派，他们才成为战锤40000中完全可玩的派系。随着2017年第8版圣典:机械神教的发布，这些军队重新集结为一个派别。
