The Frateris Templar were the military order of the Ecclesiarchy for several centuries.

几个世纪以来，圣堂兄弟会一直是国教的军事修会。

History 历史

Founding 建立

The Frateris Templar date back to at least mid M32 where they were assigned with guarding the Ecclesiarchal Palace . They were strengthened soon after the Ecclesiarchy moved away from Terra and to the planet Ophelia VII in order to escape Administratum domination. With the previous restraints removed, the Ecclesiarchy began to grow in power, forming its own interstellar fleet and armies, which became known as the Frateris Templar. The forces numbered many commercial and war ships, and dozens of armies, each possessing the strength of an Imperial Guard regiment.

圣堂兄弟会的历史至少可以追溯到M32中期，在那里他们被指派守卫国教宫殿。在国教为了逃避内务部的统治而离开泰拉前往奥菲利亚七号行星后不久，他们就得到了加强。随着之前的限制被取消，国教开始发展壮大，形成了自己的星际舰队和军队，被称为圣堂兄弟会。这支部队拥有许多商船和战舰，以及数十支军队，每支军队都拥有帝国卫队兵团的兵力。

The Frateris Templar was an all male military order and operated effectively as the private army of the Ecclesiarchy. At times it was used to crush revolts against Ecclesiarchy power.

圣堂兄弟会是一个全男性军事组织，作为国教的私人军队有效运作。有时，它被用来镇压对抗国教权力的叛乱。

The Age of Apostasy 叛教时代

Three hundred years after their founding the Ecclesiarchy moved back to Terra and the insane Goge Vandire seized the Ecclesiarchy as his own. When a man known as Sebastian Thor led the Confederation of Light in revolt against Vandire's tyranny, Vandire sent Frateris Templar to destroy him and the confederation, along with every living creature on the planet. However en-route to the planet the Templar fleet was engulfed in a warp storm and destroyed, the storm later came to be known as the Storm of the Emperor's Wrath.

在他们成立三百年后，国教迁回泰拉，疯狂的高戈·范迪尔将国教据为己有。当一个名叫塞巴斯蒂安·托尔的人领导光明同盟反抗范迪尔的暴政时，范迪尔派圣堂兄弟会摧毁他和同盟，以及行星上的每一个生物。然而，在前往该行星的途中，圣堂被一场亚空间风暴吞没并摧毁，这场风暴后来被称为“皇帝之怒风暴”。

After Vandire's defeat the Frateris Templar was fully disbanded and the Ecclesiarchy was barred from ever holding any men under arms. Their role was taken over by the Adepta Sororitas.

范迪尔战败后，圣堂兄弟会完全解散，国教被禁止武装任何人。他们的角色被修女会接管。

Equipment 装备

Initially, the equipment of the Frateris Templars seemed to resemble that of the Imperial Guard. Frateris Templars soldiers were equipped with Carapace Armour and gold-plated Lasguns with crackling Power Bayonets.

起初，圣堂兄弟会的装备似乎与帝国卫队的装备相似。圣堂兄弟会的士兵装备了甲壳盔甲和镀金激光枪，上面有噼啪作响的动力刺刀。

However, during the Age of Apostasy, the Templars had become fierce warrior-zealots. Each had been stripped of their humanity and personality and rebuilt entirely on the basis of the Imperial Creed, with the sole purpose of sacrificing themselves for the God-Emperor. Their muscular bodies were often covered with intricate ritual scars and religious tattoos, signifying their undying devotion to Master of Mankind.

然而，在叛教时代，圣堂已经成为了狂热的战士。每个人都被剥夺了人性和个性，完全在帝国信条的基础上重建，唯一的目的是为神皇牺牲自己。他们肌肉发达的身体上经常覆盖着复杂的仪式疤痕和宗教纹身，象征着他们对人类之主的永恒奉献。

They fought with their torsos bare, covering their lower bodies with white half-robes laced with gold. Each Templar was protected by a shimmering energy shield generated by a spinal implant, and armed with high-cadence Lasblasters and gold-hilted swords with blades of pure Hematite. In combat, their shields protected them well from all forms of gunfire, but if an enemy managed to penetrate their protective bubble, they were forced to depend on their speed and skill in melee combat.

他们赤手空拳地战斗，用镶有金色的白色半长袍覆盖下半身。每个圣堂都受到脊柱植入物产生的闪闪发光的能量盾的保护，并配备了高收束的激光爆破枪和带纯赤铁的刀刃的金柄剑。在战斗中，他们的盾可以很好地保护他们免受各种形式的枪击，但如果敌人设法穿透他们的护罩，他们就不得不依靠近战中的速度和技能。
