History 历史

The Sisters of Battle, like the rest of the Adepta Sororitas, trace their history back to the troubled times of the Age of Apostasy. On a backwater world named San Leor an all-female cult dedicated to the worship of the Emperor, known as the "Daughters of the Emperor", were discovered by members of the Ecclesiarchy. Goge Vandire, the High Lord of the Administratum (and also Ecclesiarch of the Adeptus Ministorum), decided to visit San Leor and recruit the Daughters into his own private army. The Daughters were then renamed the "Brides of the Emperor" and became Lord Vandire's most loyal followers.

与修女会的其他成员一样，战斗修女的历史可以追溯到叛教时代的动荡时期。在一个名为圣莱奥尔的闭塞世界，国教成员发现了一个全女性崇拜帝皇的教派，被称为“帝皇之女”。内务部高领主高戈·范迪尔（也是国教教会的教宗）决定访问圣莱奥尔，并将帝皇之女招募到自己的个人军队中。帝皇之女随后被更名为“帝皇新娘”，并成为领主范迪尔最忠实的追随者。

As the events of the Age of Apostasy progressed the Adeptus Custodes, the praetorians of the Emperor himself, tried to approach the Brides and convince them of Vandire's treachery. In a last ditch effort to convince them, the Custodes took Alicia Dominica, leader of the Brides, and her chosen bodyguards deep into the Imperial Palace where they stood before the Emperor himself. What happened there remains unknown - Dominica and her companions were sworn to secrecy - but it became clear that the Brides, who then reverted to their original title of Daughters of the Emperor, had been awakened to the evil that Vandire represented. Marching into his audience chamber, Dominica paused only to condemn Vandire for his crimes before she beheaded the power-crazed dictator.

随着叛教时代事件的发展，帝皇的禁军试图接近新娘，让她们相信范迪尔的背叛。为了说服她们，禁军将新娘的领袖艾丽西亚·多米尼克和她选择的护卫带到了皇宫深处，她们站在帝皇面前。那里发生的事情仍然未知 — 多米尼克和她的同伴宣誓保密 — 但很明显，新娘们已经意识到范迪尔所代表的邪恶，她们后来恢复了原来的帝皇之女的头衔。多米尼克走进他的觐见庭，在斩首这位权力狂热的独裁者之前，只停下来谴责了范迪尔的罪行。

Following these events the Adeptus Ministorum as a whole was re-organised, including the forces of the Adepta Sororitas. Along with the establishment of the non-militant Orders, the Orders Militant were divided between the two Convents on Terra and Ophelia VII with Alicia Dominica as the Head of the entire organisation.

在这些事件之后，整个国教教会进行了重组，包括修女会的部队。随着非军事修会的成立，军事修会被分为泰伦和奥菲利亚七号两个修道院，艾丽西亚·多米尼克担任整个组织的负责人。

In 378.M36, Ecclesiarch Alexis XXII divided the Orders Militant of the Convent Sanctorum and Convent Prioris into four Orders:

378.M36年，教宗亚历克西斯二十二世将圣地修道院和首席修道院的军事修会分为四个修会：

• Order of the Ebon Chalice 黑檀圣杯修会

• Order of the Valorous Heart 勇毅之心修会

• Order of the Fiery Heart 炙热之心修会

• Order of the Argent Shroud 银白寿衣修会

In 878.M38, Ecclesiarch Deacis VI founded two more Orders Militant in honour of the remaining two saints who accompanied Alicia Dominica to the Golden Throne:

878.M38，教宗迪西斯六世又创立了两个军事修士，以纪念陪同艾丽西亚·多米尼克登上黄金王座的其余两位圣人：

• Order of the Bloody Rose in honour of Sister Mina.

• 鲜血玫瑰修会，以纪念米娜修女。

• Order of the Sacred Rose in honour of Sister Arabella.

• 神圣玫瑰修会，以纪念阿拉贝拉修女。

Since the creation of the Great Rift and the launching of the Indomitus Crusade, the Sisters of Battle have engaged in Wars of Faith on a level previously unseen. Their new Abbess, Morvenn Vahl, has dispatched their forces across the breadth of the Imperium in search of the fate of many lost Orders and Shrine Worlds. In addition, they have been used in an attempt to discover passages around the Rift such as the Nachmund Gauntlet. These campaigns have been waged with an emphasis on speed, ensuring the Sisters of Battle are ever-ready for advancing in the Indomitus Crusade.

自大裂隙形成和不屈远征发动以来，战斗修女一直在进行前所未有的信仰战争。她们的新任修道院长莫文·瓦尔已经派遣她们的部队穿越帝国的各个角落，寻找许多失落的修会和圣地世界的命运。此外，她们还被用来试图发现裂隙周围的通道，如纳克蒙德走廊。这些行动的重点是速度，确保战斗修女随时准备在不屈远征中前进。

Overview 概述

The Battle Sisters of the Adepta Sororitas are the mainstay of the Adeptus Ministorum's armies. Equipped and trained to the highest Imperial standards, the Sisters of Battle specialize in waging Wars of Faith and purging heresy wherever it may be found. Because of this, its duties often overlap with the Ordo Hereticus of the Inquisition and as a result the Sisters of Battle maintain a close alliance with the Witch Hunters. The Sisters of Battle themselves are divided into six major Orders, each numbering several thousands of Battle Sisters, and many Orders Minoris, each containing thousands of Sisters themselves. These forces are rarely deployed in full-strength, rather being assigned to waging Wars of Faith, aiding the Inquisition, or protecting Ecclesiarchy buildings, property, and relics.

修女会的战斗修女是国教修会军队的中流砥柱。按照最高的帝国标准装备和训练，战斗修女专门从事信仰战争，并在任何地方清除异端。因此，它的职责经常与审判庭的讨逆修会重叠，因此战斗修女与女巫猎手保持着密切的联盟关系。战斗修女本身分为六个主要的修会，每个修会都有数千名战斗修女，还有许多修会都包含数千名修女。这些部队很少全员部署，而是被分配进行信仰战争、协助审判庭或保护国教建筑、财产和圣物。

Organisation 组织

The Orders Militant are organised similarly to the other major Orders of the Adepta Sororitas. The primarily organisational units are:

军事修会的组织方式与修女会的其他主要修会相似。主要组织单位是：

• Order - Led by the head Canoness, called the Canoness Superior, who runs the entire Order.

• 修会 - 由被称为高阶大修女的大修女之首领导，她负责管理整个修会。

• Preceptory - A subsidiary convent or a large tactical detachment with up to 1,000 Sisters led by a Canoness Preceptor.

• 分殿 - 一个附属修道院或一个由教导大修女领导的多达1000名修女的大型战术分队。

• Commandery - Normally smaller convents or detachments of militant Sisters with up to 200 Sisters, led by a Canoness Commander.

• 督所 - 通常是由一名指挥大修女领导的小型修道院或由多达200名修女组成的军事修女分遣队。

• Mission - The smallest organisation of Sisters, consisting of a few units and can be led by a Canoness or the lesser Palatine.

• 教团 - 最小的修女组织，由几个单位组成，可以由大修女或较低的宫廷官领导。

Orders 修会

Convent Sanctorum (Ophelia VII) 圣地修道院（奥菲利亚七号）

• Order of the Bloody Rose 鲜血玫瑰修会

• Order of the Sacred Rose 神圣玫瑰修会

• Order of Our Martyred Lady 我们的殉教女士修会

Convent Prioris (Terra) 首席修道院（泰拉）

• Order of the Ebon Chalice 黑檀圣杯修会

• Order of the Valorous Heart 勇毅之心修会

• Order of the Argent Shroud 银白寿衣修会

Lesser Orders Militant 次级军事修会

Since their founding, the Major Orders Militant have established a number of subsidiary convents at sites significant to the Ecclesiarchy. Sometimes little more than small garrisons, these bases have developed identities distinct from their parent Orders over time, eventually becoming separate Orders all together. These smaller Orders are referred to as the Lesser Orders Militant. In theory, the leaders of the Lesser Orders are answerable to the leaders of the Major Order that spawned them.

自成立以来，主要军事修会在对国教具有重要意义的地点建立了许多附属修道院。有时，这些基地只不过是小规模的驻军，随着时间的推移，它们已经发展出不同于其上级修会的身份，最终成为单独的修会。这些较小的修会被称为次级军事修会。理论上，次级修会的领导人对造成她们的主要修会的领导人负责。

Inner Circle 内环

The Inner Circle of the Daughters of the Emperor is a secretive group drawn from the senior members of each Order Militant, tasked, inter alia, with blessing Sororitas forces in the employ of the Ordo Hereticus in the eve of battle. Such blessings magnify the abilities of Sisters to perform Acts of Faith.

帝皇之女内环是一个秘密团体，由每个修会的高级成员组成，其任务包括在战斗前夕为讨逆修会部署的修女会部队祝福。这样的祝福放大了修女们履行信仰行动的能力。

Armoury 军械库

The wargear of the Adeptas Sororitas is supplied by the Adeptus Mechanicus since the times of the Age of Apostasy when the Ecclesiarch Goge Vandire and Fabricator General Gastaph Hediatrix signed the treaty Known as the Writ Illuminat. Every piece of wargear supplied to the Adepta Sororitas is first taken to either the Convent Prioris on Terra or the Convent Sanctorum on Ophelia VII. There they are blessed by choirs of novitiates in rites that can last for days or even weeks. Weapons are daubed in sacred oils and polished by cloths that have been touched by saints. Every bolt and chainsword tooth is inscribed with verses from the Fede Imperialis - the Battle Hymn of the Adepta Sororitas. Specialty wargear destined to be wielded by a Canoness are sometimes sprinkled with a blood of martyrs, before being placed amongst the crypts of fallen saints to lie in repose until it is taken up by its bearer. A Sister will usually make a pilgrimage to the Convent of her Order to have her wargear bestowed upon her.

自叛教时代起，当教宗高戈·范迪尔和铸造将军加斯塔夫·赫德特里克斯签署了名为辉光法令的条约时，修女会的武器就由机械神教提供。供应给修女会的每一件战争装备都首先被带到泰拉的首席修道院或奥菲利亚七号的圣地修道院。在那里，它们受到见习修女唱诗班的祝福，仪式可以持续数天甚至数周。武器被涂上圣油，并用圣人触摸过的布抛光。每个爆矢和链惧剑齿上都刻有帝国忠言的诗文，这是修女会的战斗圣歌。注定要由大修女挥舞的特殊战争装备有时会撒上殉道者的鲜血，然后被放置在牺牲圣人的墓穴中休息，直到被其持有者拿起。修女通常会前往她修会的修道院朝圣，以获得她的战争装备。

Power Armour 动力盔甲

All Sisters, with the exception of the Sisters Repentia, are equipped with a suit of Adepta Sororitas Power Armour.

除忏悔修女外，所有修女都配备了一套修女会动力盔甲。

Sister Superior in full Sororitas Power Armour 全装修女动力盔甲的高阶修女

The Sisters of Battle use a version of power armour designed for the human shape and size, known as Sororitas Power Armour. Sororitas Power Armour is the only enduring legacy of the reign of Goge Vandire, who commissioned the armour for his Brides of the Emperor, where today it serves the Sisters of Battle. Crafted by the forges of Mars, Sororitas Power Armour is relatively lighter than most suits and provide excellent protection. As Sisters of Battle do not possess the Black Carapace of space marines, some patterns of Sororitas Power Armour are not designed with interface in mind and such do not provide enhanced strength or access to advanced systems.

战斗修女使用一种为人类体型和大小设计的动力盔甲，称为修女动力盔甲。修女动力盔甲是高戈·范迪尔统治时期唯一持久的遗产，他为他的帝皇新娘委托制作了这件盔甲，如今它为战斗修女服务。修女动力盔甲由火星铸造而成，比大多数盔甲相对较轻，并提供出色的保护。由于战斗修女没有星际战士的黑色甲壳，修女动力盔甲的一些型号在设计时没有考虑到接口，因此无法提供增强力量或使用先进系统。

Holy Trinity 圣三一

Wherever possible the Sisters of Battle use the holy trinity of weapons, that of the bolter, flamer, and melta. There are few exceptions to this rule, the most notable being melee weapons, plasma pistols sometimes used by Sister Superiors, and the missiles of the Exorcist.

只要有可能，战斗修女就会使用三位一体的武器，即爆矢枪、火焰枪和热熔枪。这条规则几乎没有例外，最引人注目的是近战武器、有时由高阶修女使用的等离子手枪和驱魔者的导弹。

The rank and file are primarily equipped with a Godwyn-De'az pattern boltgun and bolt pistol.

普通成员主要配备戈德温-迪亚兹型爆矢枪和爆矢手枪。

The Sisters of Battle possess limited armoured support: the Rhino and Immolator as personnel carriers, and the Exorcist to provide fire support.

战斗修女拥有有限的装甲支援：犀牛和献祭者作为运兵车，驱魔者提供火力支援。

Psykers and Acts of Faith 灵能者和信仰行动

The Adepta Sororitas represent the epitome of faith and purity within the Imperium of Man. To wield the powers of the Warp would be completely anathema to them, yet such is their Shield of Faith that it can nullify any psychic power, even those of a friendly or helpful nature. The Sisters maintain an inherent disgust of all witches and believe their power comes from the Emperor's blessing as opposed o the malign influence of the Warp.

修女会代表了人类帝国中信仰和纯洁的缩影。对她们来说，使用亚空间的力量是完全可憎的，但她们的信仰之盾可以抵消任何灵能力量，即使是那些友好或有益的灵能力量。修女对所有女巫都怀有固有的厌恶，并相信她们的力量来自帝皇的祝福，而不是亚空间的恶意影响。

Instead, the Sisters of Battle perform Acts of Faith, manifestations of the Emperor of Mankind's divine purpose. These miracles are unlike any psychic power; defenses or weapons useful against normal psykers have no effect on them. Such powers include regeneration and manifesting divine light and fire. Perhaps the greatest manifestation of such powers are the phenomena of Living Saints.

相反，战斗修女执行信仰行动，这是人类皇帝神圣目的的表现。这些奇迹不同于任何灵能力量；对普通灵能有用的防御或武器对她们没有影响。这些力量包括再生和显现神圣的光和火。也许这种力量的最大表现是活圣人的现象。

The exact nature of these powers are unclear, even the famed Necron Cryptek Szeras is baffled by the origin of these miracles and how they operate save that they seem to not be of the Warp.

这些力量的确切性质尚不清楚，即使是著名的死灵墓穴技师泽拉斯也对这些奇迹的起源及其运作方式感到困惑，除了它们似乎不属于亚空间。

Fleet 舰队

The Sisters of Battle utilize their own warships of at least Cruiser class, apparently the same types operated by the Imperial Navy. Known types of vessels employed are the Retribution Class Battleship, Mars Class Battlecruiser, Dauntless Class Cruiser and the Piety Class Cruiser. The Battleship Martyr's Halo is used as the flagship for the Abbess of the Adepta Sororitas.

战斗修女使用他们自己的至少是巡洋舰级的战舰，显然与帝国海军使用的类型相同。已知使用的战舰类型有报复级战列舰、火星级战列巡洋舰、无畏级巡洋舰和虔诚级巡洋舰。战列舰殉教光环号被用作修女会修道院长的旗舰。
