A Chapter is a self-contained Space Marine army usually made up of a thousand or so Space Marines, as well as a large number of administrative and functionary personnel.
一个战团是一支自给自足的星际战士，通常由大约一千名星际战士以及大量行政和公务人员组成。
The Adeptus Astartes is divided into roughly a thousand Chapters. Each constituent Chapter is autonomous and constitutes a complete army, with its own leadership, support and administrative staff, reliant only on its own Chapter members. Each chapter has its own traditions, specialties, its own cult, beliefs and practices.
阿斯塔特修会分为大约一千个战团。每个战团的组成都是自主的并构成了一支完整的军队，有自己的领导、支持和行政人员，只依赖自己的战团成员。每个战团都有自己的传统、特色、崇拜、信仰和习俗。
Space Marine chapter assembled for battle 为战斗而集结的星际战士
Early History 早期历史
Chapters were originally an organizational unit used by the Thunder Warriors. During the Great Crusade, the Space Marines were organized into Legions, further divided into Companies. Chapters were adopted by some of the Legions as an intermediate level of organization. The Ultramarines Legion, led by Roboute Guilliman, became the largest of all the Legions, thanks to Guilliman's tactical mastery and a steady flow of new recruits from Ultramar. At the time of the Horus Heresy, the Ultramarines Legion was divided into twenty-five Chapters, each composed of ten Companies, each company composed of roughly one thousand Marines.
战团最初是雷霆战士使用的一个组织单位。在大远征期间，星际战士被组织成军团，并进一步分为连队。一些军团将战团作为中间级别的组织单位。由罗伯特·基里曼领导的极限战士军团成为所有军团中最大的军团，这要归功于基里曼的战术掌握和奥特拉玛新兵的稳定流动。在荷鲁斯叛乱时期，极限战士军团分为二十五个战团，每个战团由十个连组成，每个连由大约一千名星际战士组成。
Following the Heresy, Guilliman, as Lord Commander of the Imperium, ordered the Space Marine Legions divided and re-organized into smaller Chapters, to ensure that no future rebel such as Horus could gain control of such a large military unit as a Legion again. Newly formed Chapters created in this new system which originated from the remaining loyalist Legions became known as Successor Chapters.
叛乱之后，基里曼作为帝国的领主指挥官，命令星际战士军团分裂并重新组织成更小的战团，以确保未来没有像荷鲁斯这样的叛军能够再次控制如此庞大的军事单位。在这个新系统中创建的新成立的战团，起源于剩余的忠诚军团，被称为子战团。
Chapter creation 战团建立
The creation of a new Chapter is known as a Founding, and it does not happen overnight. Each Chapter is created from the gene-seed of an existing donor Chapter. After the Scouring, Roboute Guilliman tasked the Adeptus Terra with setting up and maintaining a genetic bank to procure and store tithes of gene-seed, which would in turn provide the gene-seed for all future Chapters. To prevent cross-contamination, the genetic stock of each legion was isolated while those of Traitor Legions were put into stasis lock. By taking direct control of these genetic tithes, the Adeptus Terra now could ultimately control the Space Marines as they had the power to destroy or create Space Marine armies at will.
新战团的建立被称为建军，它不会在一夜之间发生。每个战团都是从现有战团捐赠的基因种子中创建的。在大清洗之后，罗伯特·基里曼委托泰拉中央部建立和维护一个基因库，以获取和储存十分之一的基因种子，这反过来将为未来的所有战团提供基因种子。为了防止交叉污染，每个军团的基因库都被隔离，而叛徒军团的基因则被置于停滞锁中。通过直接控制这些基因种子的什一税，泰拉中央部现在可以最终控制星际战士，因为他们有能力随意摧毁或创建星际战士军队。
When creating a chapter, the zygote is implanted in a human test-slave who spends his entire life in a static experimental capsule, immobile and serving as nothing but a medium which from two progenoids will develop. When the progenoids are developed, they are extracted from original test-slave and then implanted into another two test-slaves, producing four progenoids, and so on. It takes 55 years of reproduction to create a healthy set of 1,000 organs. These must be sanctioned officially by the Master of the Adeptus Mechanicus and then by the High Lords of Terra, speaking for the Emperor, who alone can give permission for the creation of a new Chapter.
在创建战团时，基因种子被植入一个终生静卧在实验舱中一动不动的人类测试奴隶体内，作为两个腺体的发育介质。当腺体发育成熟后，它们会从原来的测试奴隶体内被提取出来，然后植入另外两个测试奴隶体内，从而产生四个腺体，以此类推。需要55年的时间才能创造出一套健康的1000个器官。这些器官必须被机械神教铸造将军正式批准，然后泰拉高领主告知帝皇，只有帝皇能给予许可去建立一个新的战团。
Organisation 组织
A so-called Codex Chapter, meaning a Chapter which closely follows the doctrines of the Codex Astartes, is made up of ten companies, each consisting of one hundred Marines and commanded by an officer with the rank of Captain. Below the Captain are two Lieutenants which each command a Demi-Company. Generally, the First Company is made up of the Chapter's most experienced Veterans, while the Second through Ninth consist of more ordinary warriors. Some individual companies are specialised assault or support companies, possessing larger proportions of Assault, Devastator, Hellblaster, Eradicator, Aggressor, Reiver, and Inceptor squads. The tenth company is a Scout force, made up of neophyte Space Marines not yet proven in battle. Typically, a standing force of 100 Vanguard Space Marines are attached to the 10th Company. The Chapter is further bolstered and supported by a Librarium, Armoury, Apothecarion, Chaplaincy, and Fleet.
所谓的“圣典战团”意味着该战团严格遵守阿斯塔特圣典的教义，它由10个连队组成，每个连队由100名星际战士组成，并由一名连长指挥。连长之下有两名副官，各自指挥半个连队。通常情况下，第一连队由该战团经验最丰富的老兵组成，而第二连队至第九连队则由更多普通战士组成。一些单独的连队是专业的突击连队或支援连队，拥有较大比例的突击小队，毁灭者小队，地狱轰击者小队，歼灭者小队，侵略者小队，掠夺者和拦截者小队。第十连队是一支侦查部队，由尚未在战斗中证明自己的星际战士新兵组成。通常，一支由100名先锋星际战士组成的常备军会隶属于第十连队。此外，该战团还会得到智库，军械库，药剂部，隐修会和舰队的进一步支持和加强。
Organization of a Space Marine Chapter since the introduction of Primaris Space Marines 自引入原铸星际战士以来的星际战士战团组成
Each Chapter is led by a Chapter Master. Unlike the Imperial Guard, the Adeptus Astartes has no leadership above the Masters of the individual Chapters. Also unlike many other Imperial military forces, the Astartes are not represented on the High Lords of Terra.
每个战团由战团长领导。不像帝国卫队，阿斯塔特修会没有比各个战团的战团长更高的领导者。此外，与帝国许多其他军事力量不同，阿斯塔特在泰拉高领主中没有代表。
Besides the Space Marine fighting brethren, there are many non-combat personnel, fully part of the Chapter but generally not involved directly in combat. These include the chapter's hereditary slaves, Astropaths, Navigators.
除了星际战士战斗兄弟之外，还有许多非战斗人员，他们也都是战团的成员，但通常不直接参加战斗。这些人包括战团的世袭侍从，星语者，领航员。
Every successor chapter of the Ultramarines follows the Codex Astartes completely.
极限战士的每一个子战团都完全遵循阿斯塔特圣典。
Chapter cult 战团教派
A Chapter cult is a body of beliefs and practices integral to every single Space Marine Chapter, each being unique and specific to the chapter and can often wildly vary between each other. Indeed, two successor chapters spawned from the same chapter during the very same founding might, after several centuries, present with radically divergent religious practices. Broadly speaking though, every chapter cult in general venerates the Emperor, their Primarch (if known), as well as their own heroes and will typically emphasize martial virtues such as honour, strength, and comradeship.
战团教派是每个星际战士战团不可或缺的信仰和行动体系，每个都是独特而具体的，彼此之间往往差异很大。事实上，在同一个建军从同一战团衍生出的两个子战团，在几个世纪后可能会出现截然不同的宗教习惯。不过，从广义上讲，一般每个战团教派都崇拜帝皇、他们的原体（如果知道的话）以及他们自己的英雄，通常会强调荣誉、力量和战友情谊等军事美德。
Every Space Marine belongs to the Chapter's cult, and accordingly, every Marine of a Chapter is a spiritual brother as well as a brother in arms. Each cult is typically ministered by an inner priesthood of warriors known as Chaplains.
每个星际战士都属于战团的教派，因此，战团的每个战士都是精神上的兄弟，也是战友。每个教派通常都由被称为牧师的战士的内在圣职来辅助。
The Ecclesiarchy and Inquisition 国教和审判庭
Conflict has always existed between the Adeptus Astartes and the Adeptus Ministorum, going back all the way to the very start of the Imperial Creed on Terra. Though rivalry is ever present between and among all the factions within the Adeptus Terra, this friction goes to an even deeper level. Space Marines can rightfully be called the "Sons of the Emperor" - they are the Emperor's direct creation, carrying his blood, as well as being undying loyal defenders of humanity, the Imperium, and the Emperor's honour. Despite all this, conflict arises in that they do not adhere to the Imperial Creed nor (typically) worship the Emperor as a divine god as preached by the Ecclesiarchy, instead venerating him as a gifted, powerful man. Indeed, given the wide variation of chapter cults some chapter cult practices are very barbaric - many including blood sacrifices - and some traditions could easily be considered heretical in comparison to the orderly masses of the Ecclesiarchy. Added to this, the sheer differences between baseline humans and these genetically engineered monstrous giants capable of spitting acid or crushing men's skulls, are enough for some consider them as separate race entirely. Staunch puritans of the Ecclesiarchy preach the adage "suffer not the mutant to live", and in the Imperium the purity of the human form is lauded as much whilst all other species are reviled.
阿斯塔特修会和国教教会之间一直存在冲突，这可以追溯到泰拉上的帝国信条的一开始。尽管在中央政务部内的所有派系之间始终存在竞争，但这种摩擦甚至达到了更深的层次。星际战士可以被称为“帝皇之子”，他们是帝皇的直接造物，承载着他的鲜血，也是人类、帝国和帝皇的荣誉的永恒忠诚捍卫者。尽管如此，冲突还是出现了，因为他们不遵守帝国信条，也不（通常）像国教所宣扬的那样将帝皇视为神圣的神，而是将他视为一个有天赋、强大的人。事实上，鉴于战团教派的多样性，一些战团教派的做法非常野蛮，许多包括血祭，与国教的有序群众相比，一些传统很容易被视为异端。除此之外，普通人类和这些能够吐酸或压碎人类头骨的基因工程改造巨型怪物之间的巨大差异，足以让一些人认为他们是完全不同的种族。国教的坚定纯洁派宣扬“不要让变种人活着”的格言，在帝国中，人类形态的纯洁性受到同样的赞扬，而所有其他物种都受到唾弃。
The Ecclesiarchy and the Astartes have reached an uneasy compromise over the millenia, which can generally be thought of as an agreement to differ. In general, the Ecclesiarchy does not send its Confessors and Missionaries to Space Marine worlds, and the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes do not interfer with the Church. Space marine chaplains are given their sacred rosarius by the Ecclesiarchy, a symbolic link between the Adeptus Astartes and the Adeptus Ministorum, but ultimately the chaplains still preach their own version of the Imperial Creed to their brethren. This uneasey truce has been shattered by particularly zealous Cardinals or Confessors that have roused the wrath of a chapter either through words or deeds.
在过去的数千年里，国教和阿斯塔特达成了一项令人不安的妥协，这通常可以被认为是一种不同的协定。总的来说，国教不会派遣其告解者和传教士前往星际战士世界，阿斯塔特修会的战团也不会干扰国教。星际战士牧师被国教授予神圣玫瑰念珠，这是阿斯塔特修会和国教教会之间的象征性联系，但最终牧师仍然向他们的兄弟们宣扬他们自己版本的帝国信条。这种不公平的休战已经被特别狂热的红衣主教或告解者打破，他们通过言语或行为激起了一个战团的愤怒。
In a similar vein, conflict has arisen between the Adeptus Astartes and the Inquisition, particularly the Witch Hunters of the Ordo Hereticus, over the nature of Chapter Cults. Should the chapters preachings and interpretations of the Imperial Creed be deemed too heretical, the Witch Hunters may send forces or even an army to fight the space marines and call the chapter for their wayward beliefs.
同样，阿斯塔特修会和审判庭之间，特别是讨逆修会的女巫猎手，在战团教派的性质问题上也发生了冲突。如果宣扬和解释帝国信条的战团被认为过于异端，女巫猎手可能会派遣部队甚至军队与星际战士战斗，并因其难以控制的信仰而传唤战团。
Infamous examples of internecine conflict between Space Marines and the Ecclesiarchy/Inquisition include:
星际战士和国教/审判庭之间臭名昭著的内部冲突包括：
The Incursion of Fools - also known as the Fenris Incident. Learning of the shamanic practices of the Space Wolves and deeming them heretical, Cardinal Astra Leon Chirastes invaded their Homeworld, Fenris, with a force of his own Ecclesiarchal Warships as well as other ships and forces of the Adepta Sororitas' Orders of the Wounded Heart, White Rose and the Fiery Tear. The Ecclesiarchal force was bloodily repulsed, and detailed records of the battle suppressed and sealed by the Ecclesiarchy while giving the Space Wolves little cause to celebrate. Leon Chariastes officially left in disgrace, but retained his badge of office, vowing revenge.
愚者入侵 - 也称为芬里斯事件。星界红衣主教莱昂·奇拉斯特斯学习了太空野狼的萨满教习俗，并认为他们是异端，他用自己的国教战舰以及修女会的受伤之心、白色玫瑰和炽热之泪修会的其他船只和部队入侵了他们的家园世界芬里斯。国教部队被血腥击退，详细的战斗记录被国教压制并封存，而太空野狼几乎没有庆祝的理由。莱昂·奇拉斯特斯正式耻辱地离开了，但保留了他的职位徽章，发誓要复仇。
The War of Flames - Arch-Cardinal Perigno declared the Salamanders Promethean Cult heretical and attacked them with a force of three Orders and a massive army of faith. This was ultimately halted after news of Peringo's death at the hands of the Inquisition.
火焰战争 - 大红衣主教佩里尼奥宣布火蜥蜴普罗米修斯教派为异端，并用三个修会和庞大的信仰军队攻击他们。在佩里尼奥死于审判庭之手的消息传出后，这一行动最终停止了。
The Kaurava Campaign - During the campaign the Order of the Sacred Rose declared a purge of the entire Kaurava system, irreconcilably at odds with the Blood Ravens' mission to reclaim the system, resulting in the two forces being hostile to each other to the point of war throughout the campaign. This incident, along with other notorious actions by the Blood Ravens, would contribute to the Ordo Malleus declaring an Exterminatus of them and the entire Subsector Aurelia, which was only halted by the timely intervention of Captain Apollo Diomedes and Inquisitor Adrastia in killing the Blood Ravens turncoat Chapter Master Azariah Kyras.
考拉瓦战役 - 在战役期间，神圣玫瑰修会宣布对整个考拉瓦星系进行净化，这与血鸦夺回该星系的使命不可调和，导致这两支部队在整个战役中相互敌对，甚至达到了战争的地步。这一事件，再加上血鸦的其他臭名昭著的行动，将有助于圣锤修会对他们和整个奥瑞利亚分区宣布灭绝令，但这一行动因阿波罗·狄俄墨得斯连长和审判官阿德拉斯蒂亚的及时干预杀死血鸦叛徒战团长亚撒利雅·凯拉斯而停止。
The Months of Shame - The Space Wolves fought the Ordo Malleus and Grey Knights who sought to purge the survivors and veterans of the First War for Armageddon.
耻辱之月 - 太空野狼与圣锤修会和灰骑士作战，他们试图清洗第一次阿玛吉多顿战争的幸存者和老兵。
Theist Chapters 一神论战团
While most chapters do not venerate the Emperor as a divine being or a god, there are a handful of chapters which do. Such beliefs are thought of as "fanatical" by chapters with more conventional veneration of the Emperor as a man, with such beliefs being considered more appropriate for the "deluded masses" that Astartes are sworn to protect.
虽然大多数战团都没有将帝皇尊为神圣的存在或神，但也有少数战团这样做。这些信仰被认为是“狂热的”，因为战团更传统地将帝皇视为一个人，而这些信仰被视为更适合阿斯塔特宣誓要保护的“受骗群众”。
Notable theist chapters include:
著名一神论战团包括
The Adulators 奉信者
The Black Templars 黑色圣堂
The Fire Angels 火焰天使
The Hospitallers 医院骑士
The Novamarines - Uniquely, they do not venerate the Emperor nor Roboute as gods but worship the Codex Astartes as a divine work, though they are silent as to which god inspired it.
新星战士 - 独特的是，他们不将帝皇或罗伯特尊为神，而是将阿斯塔特圣典视为神圣的作品崇拜，尽管他们对哪位神启发了它保持沉默。
The Red Scorpions 红蝎
The Red Hunters 红色猎手
The Sons of the Phoenix 凤凰之子
The Star Phantoms 星辰幻影
The Steel Confessors 钢铁神父
The Subjugators 压制者
The White Consuls 白色执政官
The following chapters do not explicitly worship the Emperor as a god, but do ascribe him divine or spiritual powers:
以下战团没有明确将帝皇视为神，但确实赋予了他神圣或精神力量：
The Blood Ravens believe the Emperor to be a man, yet also believe he has the power to save their souls and in the promise of an afterlife
血鸦相信帝皇是一个人，但也相信他有能力拯救他们的灵魂，并承诺来世
Though the Silver Skulls do not explicitly worship the Emperor as divine, their Prognosticators consult his Tarot in order to divine his will.
虽然银色颅骨并没有明确地将帝皇视为神圣的，但他们的预言者会参考他的塔罗牌来占卜他的意志。

Additionally, a Chapter contains a civilian workforce of human serfs and servitors.
此外，一个战团还包含了由人类侍从和机仆组成的平民劳动力。
Tanks and vehicles 坦克和载具
Not all Chapters have the means to make every type of vehicle. Some Chapters have charters of cooperation with an Adeptus Mechanicus Forge World, which manufactures vehicles to order for this one Chapter. Strict security-measures are undertaken to keep those vehicles from falling into the wrong hands.
并非所有战团都有制造每种类型载具的方法。一些战团与机械神教铸造世界诶签订了合作章程，该组织为这一战团制造载具。采取了严格的安全措施，防止这些载具落入坏人之手。
Dreadnoughts: Dreadnoughts are very rare. Only very few Chapters have the capacity to build new ones from scratch, and even those that do can do so only a few at a time, because the construction of its core-piece, the Sarcophagus, is very complicated. Fortunately, the design of the Dreadnought is extremely durable and unless destroyed completely, it can eventually be repaired back into function.
无畏：无畏非常罕见。只有极少数战团有能力从头开始构建新的一个，即使是那些能够从头开始构建的战团，一次也只能构建几个，因为其核心部分 - 石棺 - 的构造非常复杂。幸运的是，无畏的设计非常耐用，除非被完全摧毁，否则最终可以修复并恢复使用。
Rhinos: Rhinos are the mainstay of every single Chapter's vehicle-pool as an armoured troop-carrier. Each is capable of transporting 10 Space Marines.Due to its nature as an STC-design, Rhinos are fairly easy to build and repair.
犀牛：作为装甲运兵车，犀牛是每个战团载具库的支柱。每辆可搭载10名星际战士。由于其STC设计的性质，犀牛相当容易建造和维修。
Impulsors: Newer Era Indomitus-era Grav-Vehicle transports.
冲击者：更新的不屈时代反重力载具运输车
Bikes: The degree to which Bikes are deployed varies greatly from Chapter to Chapter, with for example the White Scars using them in great numbers, while other Chapters shun them in favour of Rhinos or Razorbacks.
摩托：摩托的部署程度因战团而异，例如白色伤疤大量使用它们，而其他战团则避开它们，转而使用犀牛或豪猪。
Land Speeders: A typical Chapter fields about 50 to 70 Land Speeders. Though, some Chapters, like the Dark Angels, the White Scars and the Successor-Chapters of the White Scars, field several times that number. As a counter-example, the Imperial Castilians field none.
兰德速攻艇：一个典型的战团大约有50到70辆兰德速攻艇。然而，有些战团，如黑暗天使、白色伤疤和白色伤疤的子战团，其数量是这个数字的几倍。作为反例，帝国卡斯蒂利亚一辆也没有。
Storm Speeders: Heavier attack speeder.
风暴速攻艇：更重的攻击速攻艇
Invictors: Scout walkers.
不败者：侦察步行者
Predators: A Chapter typically fields 20 to 30 Predators, though there are Chapters like the Iron Hands and Fire Angels which field more than 100. Due to the Predator being based on the Rhino-chassis, and that in itself being very adaptable, it is possible to retrofit Rhinos into Predators.
掠食者：一个战团通常有20到30辆掠食者，尽管也有像钢铁之手和火焰天使这样的战团有100多辆掠食者。由于掠食者基于犀牛底盘，并且其本身具有很强的适应性，因此可以将犀牛改装成掠食者。
Gladiators: Newer Era Indomitus-era Grav-Vehicle battle tanks.
角斗士：更新的不屈时代反重力载具战斗坦克
Whirlwinds: A Chapter typically fields 20 to 30 Whirlwinds, although this varies greatly from Chapter to Chapter.
旋风：一个战团通常有20到30辆旋风，尽管这在战团之间差异很大。
Vindicators: A Chapter typically fields about 12 Vindicators. They are mostly used for sieges and in urban warfare, however some Chapters greatly value them for their sheer firepower and field them in great numbers as a frontline battle-tank.
维护者：一个战团通常有大约12辆维护者。它们主要用于攻城战和城市战，但有些战团非常重视它们的火力，并将其大量用作前线战斗坦克。
Stalkers and Hunters: Air defense vehicles.
追猎者和猎手：防空载具
Land Raiders: Due to its nature as an STC-design, every Space Marine Chapter is capable of producing the components for building Land Raiders. As an example for their numbers, the Red Scorpions had 12 Land Raiders by the time of the Siege of Helios.
兰德掠袭者：由于其STC设计的性质，每个星际战士战团都能够生产用于建造兰德掠袭者的组件。作为其数量的一个例子，红蝎在赫利俄斯围城时有12辆兰德掠袭者。
Repulsors: Newer Era Indomitus-era Grav-Vehicle heavy assault vehicles.
反击者：更新的不屈时代反重力载具重型突击载具
Astraeus: Newer Era Indomitus-era Super-Heavy Grav Vehicles.
阿斯特赖俄斯：更新的不屈时代超重型反重力载具
Fleet 舰队
All Space Marine Chapters maintain a fleet of some sort. By the edicts of the Codex Astartes, the ships of the Space Marine Chapters are to be focused on planetary assaults instead of naval combat, although some Chapters circumvent or outright ignore this rule.
所有星际战士战团都维持着某种形式的舰队。根据阿斯塔特圣典的法令，星际战士战团的船只将专注于行星突击而不是海战，尽管有些战团会绕过或完全无视这一规则。
Only the officers on these ships are Space Marines, as they are simply to valuable to waste them by having them man a gun-turret or watch a monitor.
这些船上只有军官是星际战士，因为他们太有价值了，让他们守在炮塔或看监视器上是浪费他们。
Most Chapters define their ships via their usage, not by class or model.
大多数战团通过用法来定义他们的船只，而不是按类别或型号。
Battle Barges: Battle-Barges are the largest ships in Space Marine Fleets. Battle-Barges are Battleship-sized ships built to withstand heaviest firepower and to deliver troops for an assault. Its weapons are mostly short-range, though they are very dangerous in boarding-actions. Most Chapters have 2 or 3 Battle-Barges, with only few having more. They can carry 3 Companies of Space Marines, plus vehicles and supplies, and have many launch bays for deploying Drop Pods, Thunderhawks and boarding-torpedoes.
战斗驳船：战斗驳船是星际战士舰队中最大的船只。战斗驳船是战列舰大小的船只，可承受最重的火力，并运送部队进行突击。它的武器大多是短程的，尽管在跳帮行动中非常危险。大多数战团都有2或3艘战斗驳船，只有少数战团有更多。它们可以携带3个星际战士连队，以及载具和物资，并有许多发射湾用于部署空降仓、雷鹰和跳帮鱼雷。
Strike Cruisers: Strike Cruisers are the most common type of larger warship in a Chapter Fleet. They are very fast, carry a Company of Space Marines, and are geared for planetary assaults. They also carry the vehicles assigned to a Company.
打击巡洋舰：打击巡洋舰是战团舰队中最常见的大型战舰类型。它们速度很快，携带一个星际战士连队，并为行星突击做好了准备。他们还携带分配给连队的载具。
Escorts and Rapid Strike Vessels: These are many different types of small, fast ships geared for naval combat. They are mainly used for line-of-battle escorts and patrols. They also have a very limited capacity to deliver very small forces on infiltration raids.
护卫舰和快速打击战舰：这些是许多不同类型的小型快速舰船，用于海战。它们主要用于战线护卫和巡逻。他们在渗透突袭中运送非常小的部队的能力也非常有限。
Aircraft and Gunships such as the Thunderhawk, Overlord, Storm Eagle, Stormraven, Stormhawk, Xiphon, Stormtalon, and Caestus.
飞行器和炮艇，如雷鹰、霸主、风暴鹰、风暴鸦、风暴隼、剑尾、风暴爪和拳套。
Drop Pods and Boarding Torpedo insertion craft.
空投舱和跳帮鱼雷嵌入艇。
Some Chapters, in particular fleet-based Chapters, employ additional types of support-vessels, such as scout-ships, Forge-ships, Chapter Barques and Vanguard Cruisers. Chapter Barques are often modified Mass-Conveyance-freighters that hold a fleet-based Chapter's most precious assets, like their Geneseed, so they can stay back and out of harm's way during battle. Vanguard Cruisers are modified Strike Cruisers for long-range missions and deep-space recon. As for Forge-Ships, for example an Ark-class Forge-ship produces Space Marine Power Armour and Space Marine infantry weaponry.
一些战团，特别是以舰基战团，使用其他类型的支援舰，如侦察舰、铸造舰、战团轻舰和先锋巡洋舰。战团轻舰通常是经过改装的大型运输货船，装载着舰基战团最宝贵的资产，如他们的基因种子，这样他们就可以在战斗中远离危险。先锋巡洋舰是经过改装的打击巡洋舰，用于远程任务和深空侦察。至于铸造舰，例如方舟级铸造舰生产星际战士动力盔甲和星际战士步兵武器。
Types of Chapters 战团种类
Single World Chapters - The majority of Chapters, who maintain a Fortress Monastery on a single world.
