Chaos Cults are the most dangerous of all those who plot to overthrow the rule of the Imperium from within.

混沌教派是所有阴谋从内部推翻帝国统治的人中最危险的。

Chaos Cultists 混沌邪教徒

Overview 概述

All planets and civilisations belonging to the Imperium can harbour Chaos organisations, which themselves are as diverse in practice and membership as is imaginable. From the blood-soaked sacrificial cults of feral worlds to the philosophical secret societies of more advanced worlds, the temptations of Chaos can capture all. Indeed, according to the Ordo Hereticus, Chaos Cults can arise from any class of Imperial society, be it impoverished, noble, hive-gang, abhuman, soldiers, or mutant.

属于帝国的所有行星和文明都可以藏有混沌组织，这些组织本身在实践和成员方面都是可以想象的多样化的。从野蛮世界的血腥祭祀崇拜到更先进世界的哲学秘密社团，混沌的诱惑可以抓住一切。事实上，根据讨逆修会的说法，混沌教派可以产生于帝国社会的任何阶层，无论是贫民、贵族、巢都帮派、亚人、士兵还是变种人。

The objective of the Chaos Cult is to survive and eventually dominate the society. Mere survival is particularly important on Imperial worlds, where Chaos worship is the greatest of heresies and Inquisitors are always vigilant and ready to wipe out any taint of Chaos.One technique, the Bone-brand, enables cultists to know one another with outsiders being none the wiser.

混沌教派的目标是生存并最终统治社会。在帝国世界，仅仅生存就尤为重要，在那里，混沌教派是最大的异端，审判官总是保持警惕，随时准备消灭任何混沌的污点。其中一种技术，即骸骨烙印，使信徒能够在外人不知情的情况下相互了解。

Generally clandestine in nature, as discovery could bring with it attention from local Arbites all the way up to the Inquisition, cults often hide behind the front of some form of legitimate organisation in their attempt to accumulate local or planetary power, such as trade unions, charitable organisations, accepted religious groups and even local variants of the Imperial cult.

教派本质上通常是秘密的，因为发现可能会引起当地法务部甚至审判庭的注意，教派经常躲在某种形式的合法组织的后面，试图积累当地或全球的力量，如工会、慈善组织、公认的宗教团体，甚至帝国教派的当地变体。

Cultist 邪教徒

Extreme political organisations make good fronts for cults, as they naturally attract power-hungry and mentally unbalanced individuals, which make particularly good material for potential cult members. A very successful organisation can gain real political power, even gaining enough power to make it possible for the cult to become the governing body of the planet without having to resort to rebellion.

极端政治组织为教派提供了很好的掩护，因为它们自然会吸引渴望权力和精神不平衡的人，这为潜在的邪教成员提供了特别好的物资。一个非常成功的组织可以获得真正的政治权力，甚至获得足够的力量，使教派能够成为星球的治理机构，而不必诉诸叛乱。

After taking root, and as it expands in power and influence, eventually the cult may end up effectively ruling anything from a township to an entire planet. Eventually, an uprising breaks out, either on purpose or because the cult has grown too large and/or unruly to remain secret any longer. At this point, the cult can be expected to summon aid from their Chaotic masters, ranging from incurring daemonic possession to summoning the Traitor Legions. Cults may also be uprising in concert with an invasion of Chaos Marines. The ultimate aim of the cult's uprising is to overthrow the Imperial government and attain direct control of the world. After the conflict, cultists are often taken back into the Eye of Terror where they either join the damned population of a daemon world or are formed up into a Chaos Warlord's armed forces.

在扎根之后，随着力量和影响力的扩大，教派最终可能会有效地统治从一个城镇到整个星球的任何东西。最终，一场叛乱爆发了，要么是故意的，要么是因为教派已经变得太大和/或不守规矩，无法再保密。在这一点上，可以预期教派会从他们的混沌主人那里获得帮助，从招致恶魔附体到召唤叛徒军团。教派也可能随着混沌星际战士的入侵而叛乱。教派叛乱的最终目的是推翻帝国政府，实现对世界的直接控制。冲突结束后，邪教徒经常被带回恐惧之眼，在那里他们要么加入恶魔世界的被诅咒者，要么组成混沌军阀的武装部队。
