"For those that defy the Imperium, only the Emperor can judge your crimes. Only in death can you receive the Emperor's judgement." - Motto of the Officio Assassinorum
“对于那些反抗帝国的人，只有帝皇才能审判你的罪行。只有死亡，你才能接受帝皇的判决。" - 刺客庭箴言
The Officio Assassinorum (Office of Assassins) is a subdivision of the Administratum responsible for the recruitment, training, and deployment of elite assassins.

Overview 概述
The Officio's head is the Grand Master of Assassins and due to the power of his organisation, and by tradition, he is always a member of the Senatorum Imperialis. Although the Grand Master oversees the organisation, they may only deploy assassins with the authority of the Senatorum, requiring a two-thirds majority of the High Lords to authorise the deployment of a single assassin.
刺客庭的首领是刺客大导师，由于其组织的力量和传统，他一直是帝国参议院的成员。尽管大导师负责监督该组织，但他们只能在参议院的授权下部署刺客，需要三分之二的多数高领主授权部署一名刺客。

The agency is almost as secretive as the Inquisition itself and it is not surprising to see that the two organisations work closely with one another. The location of the Officio's headquarters on Terra is secret, and the Master of Assassins is never seen by the Adeptus Terra, though he is rumoured to have access to the Emperor himself. Typically, the Grand Master's loyalty to the Emperor must be beyond doubt, as he holds power that could feasibly topple the Imperium itself.
该机构几乎和审判庭本身一样隐秘，看到这两个组织密切合作也就不足为奇了。刺客庭在泰拉的总部位置是秘密的，刺客之主从未被中央政务部看到过，尽管有传言说他可以亲自接近帝皇。通常情况下，大导师对帝皇的忠诚必须是毋庸置疑的，因为他拥有可能推翻帝国本身的权力。
Under Imperial and Mechanicus law, the improper activation of a member of the Officio Assassinorum is considered treason of the highest order.
根据帝国和机械教法律，刺客庭成员的不当激活被视为最高级别的叛国行为。
Training 训练
Assassins are recruited at a very young age, from the orphans of Imperial servants raised in the Schola Progenium, and from the populations of feral worlds. Prospective candidates are tested mercilessly even as they are shipped to Terra, pitted against hazardous environments as well as each other, with perhaps one in ten surviving the journey. The survivors are divided among the temples and then undergo ten years of intensive training under the Lord Assassins. From then onwards they live and operate from one of the Assassin temples said to be located somewhere on Terra. They are harshly tested and trained, their senses and resolve heightened with implants. Even after the initial training, the life of an agent of the Officio remains hard and unforgiving.
刺客在很小的时候就被招募了，他们来自在忠嗣学院长大的帝国仆人的孤儿，以及来自蛮荒世界的人口。即使被运往泰拉，潜在的候选人也会接受无情的测试，在危险的环境中相互对抗，也许十分之一的人能在航程中幸存下来。幸存者被分配到神庙中，然后在刺客领主的指导下接受十年的强化训练。从那时起，他们就在据说位于泰拉某处的刺客神庙之一生活和运转。他们经过严格的测试和训练，植入物提高了他们的感官和决心。即使在最初的训练之后，刺客庭特工的生活仍然艰难而无情。
Some Inquisitors are known to organise Officio Assassinorum training for Death Cultists that serve in their retinue which transforms these already highly efficient killers into much more deadly and honed executioners.
众所周知，一些审判官会为在其随从中服役的死亡教徒组织刺客庭培训，将这些已经非常高效的杀手变成更致命、更老练的刽子手。
Organisation 组织
The primary division of the Officio is into temples (also called clades), each of which is led by a small group of Masters (often termed Lord Assassins or Grand Masters) and specialises in a unique brand of murder. These Masters rarely work directly but instead being responsible for planning, organising, research and watching over the younger Assassins. The greater number of the Assassins are unranked, though some can be more experienced than others.
刺客庭的主要部门是分为神庙（也称为分支），每个神庙都由一小群大师（通常称为领主刺客或大导师）领导，专门从事一种独特的谋杀。这些大师很少直接工作，而是负责策划、组织、研究和监视年轻的刺客。更多的刺客没有等级，尽管有些人可能比其他人更有经验。
The structure of the Officio Assassinorum. Note that the Vanus and Venenum Temples are dubbed "classified" 刺客庭的结构。瓦努斯和文纳姆神庙被称为“机密”
Despite their hard and often short lives, Assassins can rise in the organisation by successfully completing missions. Upon achieving Sicarius Primus, they gain the right of refusal to any sector-level mission and even take assignments intended for other Temples. This is the stepping stone for advancement to the central Temple on Terra, where they can become high-ranking masters of the organisation. Indeed, the Grand Master himself is a skilled assassin who has advanced to the Officio's highest position.
尽管刺客的生命艰难且往往短暂，但他们可以通过成功完成任务在组织中崛起。在成为首席刺客后，他们获得了拒绝任何星区级任务的权利，甚至可以接受其他神庙的任务。这是晋升到泰拉中央圣殿的垫脚石，在那里他们可以成为该组织的高级大师。事实上，大导师本人是一名技艺精湛的刺客，已经晋升到了刺客庭的最高职位。
The temples, with the exception of the Culexus Temple, are located on Terra but their specific locations are a closely guarded secret. Each Temple also operates sub-temples on the Segmentum and then Sector level. These are in turn coordinated by the Temple of Assassins on Terra, which is home to the Grand Master of Assassins and the central command of the organisation. The Central Temple on Terra maintains several sub-departments to oversee Officio activities, such as the Office of Missions and Office of Operations. The heads of these departments answer in turn to the Grand Master himself. There are also Master Adepts, who can organize and sometimes even lead assassination operations.
除了邱利萨斯神庙外，其他神庙都位于泰拉上，但它们的具体位置是一个严格保密的秘密。每个神庙还经营着星域和星区级别的子神庙。这些又由泰拉上的刺客神庙协调，是刺客大导师和该组织中央指挥部的所在地。泰拉中央圣殿设有几个下属部门，负责监督刺客庭活动，如任务部和行动部。这些部门的负责人依次向大导师本人负责。也有专家大师，他们可以组织，有时甚至领导暗杀行动。
The Officio is also home to many non-assassin employees as for every assassin that is deployed, thousands of clerks and bureaucrats oversee the logistical work of the agency. These officials determine where the operatives should go, who they should kill, and how their equipment is produced and maintained. The ranks of the Officio Assassinorum also include ancillary staff, including intelligence operatives who are deployed across the Imperium to conduct reconnaissance and analysis, along with Astropaths, Navigators, and other such servants. Though these individuals are not Assassins themselves, they live entirely within the organisation and have no contact with the outside world.
刺客庭也是许多非刺客员工的家，因为每部署一名刺客，都有数千名职员和官僚监督该机构的后勤工作。这些官员决定特工应该去哪里，他们应该杀死谁，以及他们的设备是如何生产和维护的。刺客庭的级别还包括辅助人员，包括部署在帝国各地进行侦察和分析的情报人员，以及星语者、导航者和其他此类仆人。虽然这些人本身不是刺客，但他们完全生活在组织内部，与外界没有联系。
Assassins may be deployed to a battlefield to covertly 'help' an Imperial force, including Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, and the Imperial Guard, but rarely join any squad, as they work best alone. When Temples do decide to work together on a single mission, it is in an Execution Force.
刺客可能被部署到战场上，秘密“帮助”一支帝国部队，包括星际战士、战斗修女和帝国卫队，但很少加入任何小队，因为他们最好独自工作。当圣殿决定共同完成一项任务时，它是在一支处决部队中。
The temples use many exotic types of equipment, such as synskin, a substance that once sprayed onto the body, forms a black outer skin which protects the wearer from the environment and enhances strength. The Temple also maintains a secret vault of forbidden and alien weapons, giving them access to some of the most advanced technology in the Imperium.
圣殿使用许多奇异的设备，如合成皮肤，一种一旦喷到身体上就会形成黑色外皮的物质，可以保护穿戴者免受环境影响并增强力量。圣殿还保存着一个禁忌秘库和异型武器库，让他们可以使用帝国中一些最先进的技术。

History 历史
Imperial Assassins are an ancient order, having dated back to the Unification Wars for the elimination of key enemies of the Emperor. During their earliest days, they answered to the Ephoroi of the Adeptus Custodes.
帝国刺客是一个古老的组织，可以追溯到统一战争，以消灭帝皇的主要敌人。在他们最初的日子里，他们回答了禁军修会的监察卫士。
The origins of the Officio Assassinorum itself are traced to the times of the Great Crusade where a pact was made on Mount Vengeance by the six Directors Primus of the Assassin Clades, headed by the Master of Assassins. All seven individuals were masked and their identities kept secret from one another and thus they were unaware that their leader was none other than Malcador the Sigilite. From the six Directors Primus, the founding Clades were formed from Sire Vindicare, Sire Eversor, Sire Culexus, Sire Vanus, Siress Venenum and Siress Callidus who all met in secret at the Shrouds. For decades, they hunted the enemies of the Emperor by way of stealth and subterfuge in order to show these foes that there was no place for them to hide. Such was the secrecy of this agency that its existence and actions were only marginally known to the Emperor as they intended to maintain his noble purity. As the deployment of an Imperial Assassin was a delicate matter, usually only a single agent was sent into the field or, at maximum, three, but always from the same primary Clade.
刺客庭本身的起源可以追溯到大远征时期，刺客分支的六位首席理事在复仇山脉上达成了一项协议，由刺客之主领导。这七个人都戴着面具，他们的身份彼此保密，因此他们不知道他们的领袖正是掌印者马卡多。从六位首席理事中创立的分支由文迪卡、艾弗森、邱利萨斯、瓦努斯、文纳姆和卡利都司成立，他们都在寿衣处秘密会面。几十年来，他们通过秘密和诡计追捕帝皇的敌人，以向这些敌人表明他们没有藏身之处。这就是这个机构的秘密，帝皇对它的存在和行动知之甚少，因为他们打算保持他的高贵纯洁。由于部署帝国刺客是一件微妙的事情，通常只有一名特工被派往战场，或者最多三名特工，但总是来自同一个主要分支。
Following the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, the agents of the Officio Assassinorum dispatched eight agents from the six primary Clades in order to eliminate the renegade Warmaster Horus, but all of them failed. The last attempt was made by Tobeld of the Venenum Clade outside the command tent of the rogue Primarch. During a meeting at the Shrouds, the Clade Directors Primus debated and argued over how to eliminate their foe. At this point the Master of Assassins, following the advice of Legio Custodes Captain-General Constantin Valdor, decided to assemble the first Officio Assassinorum Execution Force consisting of various Clades, to eliminate Horus. Such an act was unheard of in the history of the Officio Assassinorum.
荷鲁斯叛乱爆发后，刺客庭的特工从六个主要分支中派遣了八名特工，以消灭叛变的战帅荷鲁斯，但他们都失败了。最后一次尝试是由文纳姆分支的托菲尔德在叛徒原体的指挥帐篷外进行的。在寿衣的一次会议上，分支首席理事就如何消灭敌人进行了辩论和争论。在这一点上，刺客之主，根据禁军元帅康斯坦丁·瓦尔多的建议，决定组建第一支由各分支组成的刺客庭处刑部队，以消灭荷鲁斯。这种行为在刺客庭的历史上是闻所未闻的。
In 546.M32 after the disastrous War of the Beast, the High Lords of Terra were slain to a man by the Grand Master of the Officio, Drakan Vangorich. A Space Marine strike force drawing from the Halo Brethren, Sable Swords, and Imperial Fists Chapters under Lord Commander Maximus Thane was scrambled to stop Vangorich. Storming the Assassinorum Temple on Terra, the force was assailed by a hundred Eversor Assassins. Only Thane survived to reach Vangorich and slay the mad Grand Master. Afterwards, the Imperium descended into a period of anarchy.
546.M32，在灾难性的野兽战争之后，泰拉的高领主被刺客庭大导师德拉坎·万戈里奇杀死。一支来自光环兄弟会、阴暗之剑和帝国之拳战团的星际战士打击小队在领主指挥官马克西姆斯·塞恩的指挥下紧急行动，阻止了万戈里奇。这支部队突袭了泰拉上的刺客神殿，遭到了一百名艾弗森刺客的袭击。只有塞恩幸存下来，到达了万戈里奇并杀死了疯狂的大导师。之后，帝国陷入了无政府状态。
During the Age of Apostasy, the Officio itself became afflicted by the general corruption of the Imperium, and certain high-ranking members of the Office utilised the assassins for Goge Vandire's own ends. During Vandire's purges, powerful individuals and even the Officio's Grand Master became victims of the assassins. The war within the Officio became known as the Wars of Vindication. Following the Apostasy, it was deemed wise to reorganise the Office, one change being that only the Senate could order an assassination. A section of the Inquisition, the Ordo Sicarius, was created to monitor and control the Officio Assassinorum from that date on. Since then, the Ordo has infiltrated the Officio Assassinorum with Assassin-Inquisitor spies, who pass information to their Inquisitor masters. The Assassin-Inquisitors were created by the Ordo Sicarius' founder, Inquisitor Jaeger, who used their information to foil several plots began by elements of the Assassinorum. This included two attempts to assassinate the High Lords of Terra and the attempt to assassinate a Radical Inquisitor who had been dealing with Orks in the Lamina Sector.
在叛教时代，刺客庭本身也受到帝国普遍腐败的折磨，某些高级成员利用刺客来达到高戈·范迪尔自己的目的。在范迪尔的清洗期间，有权势的个人，甚至是刺客庭的大导师都成为了刺客的受害者。刺客庭内部的战争被称为辩护战争。叛教之后，重组刺客庭被认为是明智之举，其中一个变化是只有参议院可以下令暗杀。从那天起，审判庭的一个部门，即刺客修会，被创建来监视和控制刺客庭。从那时起，刺客修会就通过刺客审判官间谍渗透到刺客庭，他们将信息传递给他们的审判官大师。刺客审判官是由刺客修会的创始人审判官耶格尔创建的，他利用他们的信息挫败了刺客庭成员发起的几起阴谋。这包括两次暗杀泰拉高领主的企图，以及一次暗杀在拉米纳星区与欧克打交道的激进派审判官的企图。
It was through intelligence gathered by the Officio Assassinorum that the Adeptus Astartes learnt that the Sorceror Ygethmor intended to claim the world of Medusa V in a Warp Storm. During the 13th Black Crusade, an assassin team was deployed to eliminate the Sorceror amongst other notable targets. It was known that at least seven agents of the Assassinorum failed in the attempt on Ygethmor's life.
正是通过刺客庭收集的情报，阿斯塔特修会才得知，巫师伊戈斯莫打算在亚空间风暴中夺取美杜莎五号世界。在第13次黑色远征期间，一支刺客小队被部署来消灭这位巫师和其他著名目标。众所周知，至少有七名刺客庭的特工在暗杀伊戈斯莫的行动中失败了。

Connections to Space Marine Chapters 与星际战士战团的联系
Owing to their codes of conduct and their proud warrior nature, Space Marines find assassination distasteful, and will avoid any contact with assassins under most circumstances. However, as is to be expected from an institution which specialises in subterfuge and clandestine actions, there have been countless rumours and conspiracy theories concerning the Officio Assassinorum, and a number of these relate to disasters which have befallen certain Space Marine Chapters. A long string of coincidences have led some to lay the blame for the loss of the Fire Hawks' fleet in the warp, the unusual destruction of the Crimson Fists' fortress monastery by one of their own defensive missiles, the death of the Celestial Lions Apothecaries on Armageddon, and the ambush of the Angels of Retribution on Alantor X, as well as many other lesser known catastrophes squarely at the Assassins' door. It may never be known if Assassins were involved in any of these calamities, and if they were, whether they were working under the orders of the High Lords of Terra, some other institution or for their own agenda.
由于他们的行为准则和自豪的战士本性，星际战士对暗杀感到厌恶，在大多数情况下都会避免与刺客接触。然而，正如一个专门从事诡计和秘密行动的机构所预料的那样，关于暗杀庭的谣言和阴谋论数不胜数，其中一些与某些星际战士战团遭受的灾难有关。一连串的巧合导致一些人将火鹰舰队在亚空间中的损失、绯红之拳堡垒修道院被他们自己的防御导弹不同寻常地摧毁、天狮药剂师在阿玛吉多顿的死亡、复仇天使在阿兰托十号的伏击，以及许多其他鲜为人知的灾难直接归咎于刺客。可能永远不会知道刺客是否参与了这些灾难中的任何一场，如果他们参与了，他们是在泰拉高领主、其他机构的命令下工作，还是为了自己的议程。
What is known, however, though it is hardly common knowledge, is that, since the Horus Heresy, some secret departments of the Inquisition have researched methods of controlling and/or killing Space Marines, and some Assassins have access to their work.
然而，尽管这很难成为常识，但众所周知的是，自荷鲁斯叛乱以来，审判庭的一些秘密部门已经研究了控制和/或杀死星际战士的方法，一些刺客可以接触到他们的工作。
