The Armoury is an integral part of a Space Marine Chapter, forming part of its headquarter staff and led by a Master of the Forge. The Armoury is responsible for the creation, maintenance, storage and operation of the many Space Marine Vehicles used by the Chapter in battle.

军械库是星际战士战团的一个组成部分，是其总部工作人员的一部分，由铸造大师领导。军械库负责创造、维护、储存和操作该战团在战斗中使用的许多星际战士载具。

Organization 组织

The Master of the Forge is the Chapter's most senior Techmarine, well-versed in even the most arcane areas of scientific knowledge. Answering directly to the Chapter Master, he is responsible for everything that goes on within the Armoury, allocating weapons and vehicles as needed or storing them within the Chapter's heavy armour pool. For this reason the Master of the Forge will rarely go into battle himself, as his vast store knowledge is particularly priceless. In times of great need, though, he will gladly march to war, wielding some of the Chapter's most wondrous and awe-inspiring weaponry which only his wisdom can maintain.

铸造大师是战团最资深的技术军士，精通最神秘的科学知识领域。直接向战团长负责，他负责军械库内发生的一切，根据需要分配武器和载具，或将其存放在战团的重型装甲库中。出于这个原因，铸造大师很少亲自参加战斗，因为他丰富的知识尤其无价。然而，在非常需要的时候，他会很乐意加入战争，挥舞着战团最令人惊叹、最令人敬畏的武器，只有他的智慧才能维持这些武器。

Besides the Master of the Forge, the Armoury is home to the rest of the Chapter's Techmarines, trained for many years on an allied Forge World or Mars itself in the mysterious ways of the Adeptus Mechanicus. For this reason there is some level of distrust between them and their fellow battle-brothers, but Techmarines are vital to the continued upkeep of the many weapons and war-machines, some of which are ancient beyond all recollection.

除了铸造大师，军械库还是战团其他技术军士的休息处，他们在盟友铸造世界或火星上以机械神教的神秘方式接受了多年的训练。出于这个原因，他们和他们的战友之间存在一定程度的不信任，但技术军士对于许多武器和战争机械的持续维护至关重要，其中一些武器和机械已经古老到无法回忆。

The Armoury also includes the various crew members for its armoured fighting vehicles. Known as Custodians, most of these Space Marines are drawn from the Chapter's Reserve Companies. Custodians plug into their vehicle's spinal interfaces, which connect with their Power Armour and Black Carapace, allowing for much greater control of its systems. For a Space Marine to be assigned to the Armoury is considered a great honour, as Custodians must suppress their physical self and learn to command their vehicles' controls and systems as instinctively as they would their own limbs.

军械库还包括其装甲战斗载具的各种乘员。这些被称为监管者的星际战士大多来自该战团的预备连队。监管者插入他们载具的脊柱接口，该接口与他们的动力装甲和黑色甲壳连接，从而可以更好地控制其系统。被分配到军械库的星际战士被认为是一种巨大的荣誉，因为监管者必须抑制自己的身体，学会像控制自己的四肢一样本能地指挥载具的控制和系统。

Construction 结构

For most Chapters, the Armoury's forges are located within their Fortress-monastery, where Techmarines assisted by Servitors, Techno-mats and other levied humans man its esoteric machinery. When a vehicle is to be produced, the basic chassis is built, its parts blessed and its future prognosticated. Interpretation of these omens indicate what the vehicle's Machine Spirit is and so which variant it will become. For example, a Rhino chassis is constructed, and upon reading its future it may be earmarked to become a Vindicator. Once completed, the vehicle is given a unique identifier during the ceremony of naming, and the ceremony of awakening rouses its Machine Spirit from slumber.

对于大多数战团来说，军械库的铸造厂都位于他们的堡垒修道院内，在那里，技术军士在机仆、技术机仆和其他被征用的人的协助下，操纵着其深奥的机械。当一辆载具要生产时，基本的底盘就要制造出来，它的零件要被祝福，它的未来要被预测。对这些征兆的解释表明了载具的机魂是什么，以及它将成为什么变体。例如，一个犀牛底盘被建造出来，在阅读了它的未来后，它可能会被指定为维护者。一旦完成，在命名仪式上，载具会被赋予一个唯一的标识符，唤醒仪式会将其机魂从沉睡中唤醒。

Some forges lack the necessary equipment or resources to produce all of the required vehicles and weaponry. Instead these items are produced on allied Forge Worlds, based upon ancient charters and oaths of agreement between it and a specific Chapter, where they are constructed and shipped to order. Such construction is strictly monitored and secured against, to prevent any advanced technology from falling into the wrong hands.

一些铸造厂缺乏生产所有所需载具和武器所需的设备或资源。相反，这些物品是在盟友的铸造世界上生产的，基于古代宪章和它与特定战团之间的协议誓言，在那里它们被制造并按订单运输。这种建筑受到严格监控和保护，以防止任何先进技术落入坏人之手。

Deployment 部署

Though each Company within the Chapter maintains their own store of light vehicles, such as Rhinos and Land Speeders, heavy armour is kept within the Armoury's motor pool and deployed only on a mission-by-mission basis. The only exception is the Chapter's 1st Company, which maintains a permanent store of Land Raiders for their personal need.

虽然该战团内的每个连队都有自己的轻型载具仓库，如犀牛和兰德速攻艇，但重型装甲仍存放在军械库的载具库中，仅在每个任务的基础上部署。唯一的例外是战团的第一连队，战团为个人需要保留了一个永久性的兰德掠袭者仓库。

Space Marine heavy armour is always used for a specific mission, such as breaking an enemy strong-point, in close coordination with their battle-brothers. Their small numbers and priceless technology preclude their use for extended periods of time, such as a prolonged siege. On extended campaigns, these forces will normally be recalled to their orbiting Battle Barge to rearm and refit prior to subsequent redeployment.

星际战士重型装甲总是用于特定的任务，例如与他们的战斗兄弟密切协调，摧毁敌人的据点。它们的数量少，技术无价，因此无法长时间使用，例如长期围困。在长期战役中，这些部队通常会被召回其轨道战斗驳船，在随后重新部署之前重新武装和改装。
