Clash with the Inquisition 与审判庭的冲突
During the event known as the Khattarn Insurrection, five companies of the Celestial Lions were attached to Inquisitor Apollyon in order to crush the ongoing revolt on the main planet, Khattar. The orbital defences were nothing to the Space Marines and they quickly landed on the planet, with virtually no opposition. As the campaign progressed and the number of prisoners increased, it became evident that this was no mere minor rebellion. Apparently the priesthood of Khattar had been corrupted and had led the leaders of the planet into the arms of Slaanesh. Local renegade Imperial Guard and Planetary Defence Force regiments were quickly defeated and within three months the rebellion was crushed. The detachment of the Celestial Lions boarded into their ships and left for their fortress monastery.
在被称为哈塔恩叛乱的事件中，天狮的五个连队附属于审判官亚玻伦，以粉碎主行星哈塔尔上正在进行的叛乱。轨道防御对星际战士来说毫无意义，他们很快就降落在了行星上，几乎没有任何反抗。随着战役的进行和囚犯人数的增加，很明显这不仅仅是一场小规模的叛乱。显然，哈塔尔的牧师已经腐化，并将这个行星的领导人带入了色孽的怀抱。当地叛变的帝国卫队和行星防御部队很快被击败，三个月内叛乱被镇压。天狮的支队登上他们的船，前往他们的堡垒修道院。
As the ships left orbit, the Imperial Navy, under orders of Inquisitor Apollyon, bombarded the planet, and obliterated the entire population of the planet. This action horrified the Celestial Lions who proceeded to condemn the Inquisitor. Captain Saul had attempted to halt the bombardment, but could not counter-order an Inquisitor. From then on, the Celestial Lions were highly vocal against the Inquisition, believing it had been unnecessary to destroy the planet. They sent a series of very loud and public condemnations against the Inquisition in general. A delegation of senior Chapter officers left for Terra to further their cause, but the ship never arrived. It was blown wildly off course by a freak warp storm, far into Ork territory. The wreckage was eventually found two years later, although this was not enough to deter the Celestial Lions, which kept demanding an investigation into the events surrounding the destruction of Khattar.
当飞船离开轨道时，帝国海军在审判官亚玻伦的命令下轰炸了这颗行星，并消灭了这颗行星上的全部人口。这一行为惊吓了天狮，他们开始谴责审判官。索尔连长试图阻止轰炸，但无法违抗审判官的命令。从那时起，天狮就强烈反对审判庭，认为没有必要摧毁行星。他们对审判庭发出了一系列非常响亮和公开的谴责。一个由高级战团军官组成的代表团前往泰拉推进他们的事业，但这艘船从未到达。它被一场反常的亚空间风暴疯狂地吹离了航线，深入了欧克的领地。两年后，残骸最终被发现，尽管这还不足以阻止天狮，天狮一直要求对哈塔尔的毁灭事件进行调查。
Their efforts, though valiant, were completely in vain. The Inquisition technically answers to no one but itself and the Emperor, intolerant of any outside pressure and criticism.
他们的努力虽然英勇，但完全白费了。从严格事实上来讲，审判庭只对自己和帝皇负责，不容任何外界的压力和批评。
Third War for Armageddon 第三次阿玛吉多顿战争
With the outbreak of the Third War for Armageddon, the entire chapter of the Celestial Lions dispatched was deployed to defend Hive Volcanus. They suffered horrendous casualties within months of arriving. The intelligence they received was horribly inaccurate and often led them into ambushes where they were outnumbered and outgunned. On multiple occasions Thunderhawk deployments to Hive Volcanus were shot down by Imperial anti-air cannons, or by Imperial ships in orbit as Thunderhawks returned from the surface. Entire Chapter ships were lost as orders from High Command and High Marshal Helbrecht were received too late to prevent an ambush, or were completely corrupted to the point of leading Celestial Lion ships directly into Ork held space, seeking resupply from docking stations long since over-run. Ranking officials began to suspect this was intentional, a ploy to wipe out the entire chapter, but nothing could be proven.
随着第三次阿玛吉多顿战争的爆发，天狮派出的整个战团都被部署来保卫火山巢都。他们抵达后几个月内就遭受了可怕的伤亡。他们收到的情报非常不准确，经常导致他们陷入伏击，在那里他们寡不敌众，火力不足。雷鹰在火山巢都的部署多次被帝国防空炮击落，或在雷鹰从地表返回时被帝国轨道上的船只击落。由于收到最高指挥部和至高元帅赫尔布雷希特的命令太晚，无法阻止伏击，或者完全被破坏，导致天狮舰船直接进入欧克控制的空域，从早已超负荷的空间站寻求补给，整个战团的舰船都损失了。高级军官开始怀疑这是故意的，这是一种抹去整个战团的策略，但没有任何证据。
One particularly devastating battle occurred when four entire companies were wiped out in the Mannheim Gap by the combined forces of Warlord Thogfang's Gargant mob and the Razor Speed Freeks. It was thought that Thogfang's Gargants were still under construction and the Celestial Lions hoped to take the orks by complete surprise. Unfortunately not only were the Gargants fully operational, they were waiting for the Celestial Lions, targeting the exact ridge where the Chapter had been ordered to launch their assault from. Undaunted by this apparent betrayal, the Celestial Lions fought bravely and for a time, thought they could win. The orks launched their trap and hundreds of buried tunnels opened behind the Lions position, swarming their rear with thousands upon thousands of orks. The last Captain, Vularakh, was eaten by Thogfang. Losses mounted and ended with a very well-coordinated attack on the Celestial Lions' base camp.
一场特别毁灭性的战斗发生在曼海姆峡谷，当时四个连队被军阀蛮牙的加冈特暴徒和剃刀狂飙怪胎的联合部队消灭。人们认为，蛮牙的加冈特仍在建造中，天狮希望完全出乎意料地夺取欧克。不幸的是，加冈特不仅全面投入作战，而且还在等待天狮，他们的目标正是天狮奉命发动进攻的山脊。天狮对这种明显的背叛毫不畏惧，勇敢地战斗了一段时间，以为他们能赢。这些欧克发动了他们的陷阱，数百条埋在天狮阵地后面的隧道打开了，成千上万的欧克涌入了他们的后方。最后一位连长瓦拉克被蛮牙吃掉了。损失越来越大，最终以对天狮大本营的一次非常协调的攻击而告终。
This particular battle lasted for three hours. Hundreds of Marines fell to the overwhelming Ork forces. Sniper fire rained down from the mountain sides, relentlessly targeting the Apothecaries. It should be noted that the sniper fire was not Ork in origin. Imperial issued longlas laser sniper rifles were used, burning holes straight through the helmet and eye-lenses of Chapter officers. Finally, a small company was able to break through the Ork lines and fight their way back to the Hive. Only ninety-six Marines survived and, to make matters worse, the last Apothecary was shot in the head within hours of arriving at the Hive; he was found slumped against his Rhino transport with a las burn straight through his temple. Their gene-seed lay unharvested on the surface of Armageddon and the remaining brothers swore to die alongside their fallen brothers, fighting to the last.
这场特殊的战斗持续了三个小时。数百名战士被压倒性的欧克部队击败。狙击手的火力从山腰倾泻而下，无情地瞄准了药剂师。应该指出的是，狙击手的火力并非源自欧克。使用了帝国发行的长光激光狙击步枪，在战团军官的头盔和目镜上烧了个洞。最后，一个小连队突破了欧克战线，奋力回到了巢都。只有96名战士幸存下来，更糟糕的是，最后一名药剂师在抵达巢都后数小时内头部中弹；他被发现瘫倒在犀牛运输车上，太阳穴被激光烧穿。他们的基因种子未被回收地躺在阿玛吉多顿的地表上，剩下的兄弟发誓要和他们倒下的兄弟一起死去，战斗到最后。
The remaining Marines of the Chapter even swallowed their pride and asked for assistance from other Chapters operating in the Armageddon Warzone. Unfortunately the Flesh Tearers were unable to render assistance and the Black Templars were preparing to depart the system to tail the orks' warleader, Ghazghkull. The Black Templars, however, were aware that something about the Lions' rapid depletion was not right. Reclusiarch Merek Grimaldus discovered a hololithic message from Deathspeaker Julkhara that was both a plea for help and a warning of what had befallen them. High Marshal Helbrecht gave Grimaldus leave to investigate what had happened to the Celestial Lions, but by the time Grimaldus met up with them outside Hive Volcanus, the Lions had already been mauled in the action in the Mannheim Gap.
该战团剩下的战士甚至吞下了他们的骄傲，并向在阿玛吉多顿战区作战的其他战团寻求帮助。不幸的是，撕肉者无法提供援助，黑色圣堂正准备离开该星系，追踪欧克的战争领袖碎骨者。然而，黑色圣堂意识到，天狮的快速消耗是不对的。隐修长梅里克·格瑞马度斯发现了来自死亡语者朱卡拉的一条完整立体成像的信息，这既是寻求帮助，也是对他们所遭遇的事情的警告。至高元帅赫尔布雷希特允许格瑞马度斯调查天狮发生了什么事，但当格瑞马度斯在火山巢都外与他们见面时，天狮已经在曼海姆峡谷的行动中受到重创。
Seeking one last hope of redemption, Pride Leader Ekene Dubaku asked Grimaldus to perform last rights on their Chapter as the survivors would be returning to Mannheim to die alongside their brothers. Grimaldus refused and marshalled the remaining defenders of Hive Helsreach to march alongside the Celestial Lions. Grimaldus believed that if the honour of the Celestial Lions could be salvaged by destroying the orks' base, then the remaining warriors would return to their homeworld and begin rebuilding. The resulting battle was massive with almost all of the remaining Celestial Lions dying. However, Pride Leader Dubaku was able to slay Warboss Thogfang with Grimaldus' help, avenging the loss of his Captain and Chapter. Only then did Grimaldus signal for Black Templar reinforcements and the knights of Dorn fought one last time on Armageddon.
为了寻求最后的救赎希望，骄傲领袖埃肯·杜巴库要求格瑞马度斯在他们的战团上行使最后的权利，因为幸存者将返回曼海姆与他们的兄弟一起死去。格瑞马度斯拒绝了，并召集赫尔斯利奇巢都的剩余守军与天狮并肩前进。格瑞马度斯认为，如果能够通过摧毁欧克基地来挽救天狮的荣誉，那么剩下的战士就会回到他们的家园世界并开始重建。由此引发的战斗规模巨大，几乎所有剩下的天狮都死了。然而，在格瑞马度斯的帮助下，骄傲领袖杜巴库成功杀死了战争头目蛮牙，为失去他的连长和战团报仇。直到那时，格瑞马度斯才向黑色圣堂发出增援信号，多恩的骑士们在阿玛吉多顿进行了最后一次战斗。
High Marshal Helbrecht forced Dubaku to take the oath of Chapter Master and granted him an ancient suit of armour still bearing the original heraldry of the Imperial Fists Legion. The few remaining Celestial Lions departed for their homeworld on the Strike Cruiser Blade of the Seventh Son, a gift from the Templars, alongside a temporary detachment of Templars to help with the rebuilding of their Chapter.
至高元帅赫尔布雷希特强迫杜巴库宣誓成为战团长，并授予他一套古老的盔甲，上面仍然印有帝国之拳军团的原始纹章。剩下的几名天狮乘坐黑色圣堂赠送的七子之刃号打击巡洋舰，与一支临时黑色圣堂分队一起前往他们的家园世界，以帮助重建他们的战团。
Great Rift 大裂隙
Following the opening of the Great Rift the Celestial Lion's homeworld of Elysium IX was invaded by the Chaos warband known as the Exilarchy. Before Elysium was invaded, though, the Lions' Chapter Master, Ekene Dubaku, put into motion a plan to evacuate its population before the Exilarchy arrived. He knew it would be impossible to save the entire population, but Dubaku hoped that enough would survive to help both his Chapter and the spirit of Elysium live on. The current fate of the world's surviving population is unknown, but Dubaku had drafted a message asking the Emperor's Spears' Chapter Master, Arucatas, if they could be relocated to his Homeworld, Nemeton. In the midst of meeting with the Emperor's Spears aboard the starship Hex Dubaku was decapitated by an Callidus Assassin.
大裂隙打开后，天狮的家园世界厄琉息斯九号被被称为流亡军的混沌战帮入侵。然而，在厄琉息斯被入侵之前，天狮战团的战团长埃肯·杜巴库启动了一项计划，在流亡军到来之前撤离其人口。他知道拯救整个人口是不可能的，但杜巴库希望有足够的人幸存下来，以帮助他的战团和厄琉息斯之魂继续存在。目前世界上幸存人口的命运尚不清楚，但杜巴库起草了一份信息，询问帝皇之矛战团长阿鲁卡塔斯是否可以将他们重新安置到他的家乡奈梅顿。在与帝皇之矛会面时，在施法号星舰上杜巴库被一名卡利杜斯刺客斩首。
Other Known Actions 其他著名行动
In late M41, a force of Celestial Lions (alongside the Red Hunters and White Scars Chapters) was sent to purge an Enslaver plague on the third moon of Woebetide.
在M41晚期，一支天狮部队（与红猎手和白色伤疤战团一起）被派往沃贝蒂德第三个卫星净化奴役者瘟疫。
Culture 文化
The Celestial Lions harbour a particular hatred of orks, possibly due to losing so many of their number to the xenos in the Third War for Armageddon. In the language of their homeworld, the orks are known as "kine" - the same word used to refer to cattle.
天狮对欧克怀有特别的仇恨，可能是因为在第三次阿玛吉多顿战争中，他们的许多人都死于异型。在他们的家园世界的语言中，欧克被称为“牛”，这个词用来指代牛。
The Chapter also greatly values the telling of stories, often in a communal fashion.
战团还非常重视故事的讲述，通常是以集体的方式。

Chapter Elements 战团成员
Known Vessels 著名战舰
Prior to the Third War for Armageddon, the Chapter's fleet consisted of over a dozen larger vessels. Over the course of the void battles that took place in the Armageddon System, most of their fleet were lost with only three ships remaining. This was later bolstered to four when the Black Templars gifted the Chapter one of their strike cruisers, the Blade of the Seventh Son, to aid in their efforts to rebuild themselves.
在第三次阿玛吉多顿战争之前，该战团的舰队由十几艘更大的舰船组成。在阿玛吉多顿行星中发生的虚空战过程中，他们的大部分舰队都损失了，只剩下三艘舰船。后来，当黑色圣堂赠送他们的战团一艘打击巡洋舰七子之刃号来帮助他们重建自己时，这一数字增加到了四艘。
