The Adeptus Terra, also known as the Priesthood of Earth, is the central organisation of the Imperium, to which most of the Imperium's other official departments and organisations belong. Only the Ecclesiarchy, Adeptus Mechanicus, and the Inquisition are not formally a part of the Adeptus Terra, while the Space Marines are only loosely affiliated.
中央政务部，也称为地球祭司，是帝国的核心组织，帝国的大多数其他官方部门和组织都属于这个组织。只有国教、机械神教和审判庭没有正式成为中央政务部的一部分，而星际战士只是松散的附属机构。

Overview 概述
The Adeptus Terra is an umbrella organisation, and not really an organisation in itself, as each of its divisions functions largely autonomously. The most powerful individual in the Adeptus Terra (and if not in theory, then in practice, the entire Imperium) is the Master of the Administratum.
中央政务部是一个伞式组织，本身并不是一个真正的组织，因为它的每个部门在很大程度上都是自主运作的。在中央政务部（如果不是在理论上，那么在实践中，整个帝国）中权力最大的个人是内务部长。
Membership to any of the various agencies of the Adeptus Terra is coveted by many of the commoners of the Imperium seeking to obtain a better life for both themselves and their families as even low-level membership comes with it exclusive privileges not given to normal Imperial citizens. At the same time the Priesthood is viewed with a large amount of fear and suspicion by the Imperial populace, who pray it will never infringe upon their lives or their worlds. The gaze of the Adeptus Terra often carries with it the chance of being swept up in endless wars or liquidated in pogroms instituted by overly zealous bureaucrats.
帝国的许多平民都渴望成为中央政务部各种机构的成员，他们寻求为自己和家人获得更好的生活，因为即使是低级别的成员也会获得普通帝国公民所没有的特权。与此同时，帝国民众对地球祭司充满了恐惧和怀疑，他们祈祷地球祭司永远不会侵犯他们的生活或世界。中央政务部的凝视往往伴随着被卷入无休止的战争或被过于狂热的官僚发动的大屠杀所清算的机会。
