The Codex Astartes is the doctrine of the Space Marine Chapters, governing all aspects of Chapter organisation and battlefield tactics. For any given tactical situation, the Codex has hundreds of pages devoted to how it may be met and overcome. The wisdom of thousands of Imperial warriors has contributed to the Codex, and details on everything from unit markings to launching a full-scale planetary assault are contained within its pages.

    阿斯塔特圣典是星际战士战团的信条，管理着战团组织和战场战术的各个方面。对于任何给定的战术情景，法典都有数百页专门讨论如何应对和克服这种情况。数千名帝国战士的智慧贡献给了圣典，从单位标记到发动全面的行星攻击的所有细节都包含在其中。

The Ultramarines chapter assembled for battle 极限战士战团为战斗而集结

    The Codex was written and formalised after the Horus Heresy by the Primarch of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman. Some Chapters, such as the Ultramarines and their successors, regard the Codex as a holy text, and follow it without question. Many other chapters also follow the Codex, though not always as strictly as the Ultramarines; these two types of chapters are collectively known as Codex Chapters. Among the Ultramarines, each battle brother must memorise whole sections of the codex, so that within a company there exists an entire record of the text.

    圣典是在荷鲁斯叛乱之后由极限战士的原体罗伯特·基里曼撰写并正式化的。一些战团，如极限战士及其子战团，将圣典视为神圣的经文，并毫无疑问地遵循它。许多其他战团也遵循圣典，尽管并不总是像极限战士那样严格；这两类战团统称为圣典战团。在极限战士中，每个战斗兄弟都必须记住圣典的整个部分，这样在一个连队内就存在着完整的文档记录。

Organization of a Codex-Compliant Space Marine Chapter since the introduction of Primaris Space Marines 自引入原铸星际战士以来符合圣典的星际战士战团组织

History 历史

    In the aftermath of the Horus Heresy, the Emperor had been incapacitated, and the Space Marines' numbers had been decimated by defections to Chaos and battle losses. With the Emperor confined to the Golden Throne the High Lords of Terra found themselves the new leaders of the Emperor's domain. Both the High Lords and surviving Primarchs became paranoid of the possibility of such events repeating themselves. The armies of the Emperor once again scoured the galaxy seeking out all forms of heresy and removing even the slightest chance of rebellion. The Ultramarines were left as the largest loyal legion, and Guilliman assumed the title of Lord Commander of the Imperium. Concerned that once again their could be a threat from such a terrible force each Legion was to be divided into smaller Chapters and a new set of regulations would be created to govern them.

    荷鲁斯叛乱事件发生后，帝皇丧失了能力，星际战士的人数因叛逃到混沌和战斗损失而大量减少。随着帝皇被限制在黄金王座上，泰拉的高领主们发现自己成为了帝皇领地的新领导人。无论是高领主还是幸存的原体，都对此类事件重演的可能性产生了偏执。帝皇的军队再次搜查银河系，寻找各种形式的异端，甚至消除了最轻微的叛乱可能。极限战士成为最大的忠诚军团，基里曼获得了领主指挥官的头衔。担心他们可能再次受到如此可怕的力量的威胁，每个军团都将被分成更小的战团，并制定一套新的规则来管理他们。

    The Codex Astartes was a code developed by Guilliman. This tome would contain everything a member of the Astartes would need to know to function. From recruitment to organization to tactics and beyond the Codex Astartes became a sacred text to the majority of the Chapters. One of the most significant changes under the new Codex was the newly founded Chapters. Where the Legions could number more than 10,000 strong the Chapters would be limited to about a thousand. Each original Legion would be divided as many times as needed into successor Chapters. This division would come to be called the Second Founding seven years after the Horus Heresy, in 021.M31. The remaining thousand bodies in the original Legion would also survive as a new Chapter of the same name. While these newly created Chapters claimed their founders origins, such as their Primarch, they would also come to develop their own culture and customs.Rogal Dorn initially rejected the Codex Astartes and enmity developed between him and Guilliman. Dorn called Guilliman a coward, citing his lack of participation in the defense of the Imperial Palace. Guilliman accused Dorn of being a rebel for refusing the Codex. This enmity quickly involved other Space Marine Legions and a rift developed, Leman Russ of the Space Wolves stood by the Imperial Fists, while Jaghatai Khan of the White Scars and Corax of the Raven Guard supported the Ultramarines. A second civil war appeared likely when the Imperial Fists strike cruiser Terrible Angel was fired upon by the Imperial Navy in connection with Codex crisis.

    阿斯塔特圣典是基里曼制定的法典。这本书包含一名阿斯塔特成员的运作所需知晓的一切。从招募到组织再到战术，以及阿斯塔特圣典之外的内容成为大多数战团的神圣经文。新圣典下最重要的变化之一是新成立的战团。如果军团人数超过10000人，那么战团将限制在大约1000人。每个初创军团将根据需要多次划分成子战团。这个在荷鲁斯叛乱七年后的021.M31的划分被称为二次建军。初创军团中剩下的1000人作为同名的新战团继续存在。虽然这些新成立的战团拥有他们的建军起源，比如他们的原体，但他们也会发展自己的文化和习俗。罗格·多恩最初拒绝了阿斯塔特圣典，他和基里曼之间产生了敌意。多恩称基里曼为懦夫，理由是他没有参与皇宫的防御。基里曼指责多恩拒绝接受圣典，是一名叛逆者。这种敌意很快就涉及到了其他星际战士，并产生了分歧，太空野狼的黎曼·鲁斯站在帝国之拳一侧，而白色伤疤的察合台可汗和暗鸦守卫的科拉克斯则支持极限战士。当帝国之拳的打击巡洋舰“恐怖天使号”因圣典危机被帝国海军开火攻击时，第二次内战似乎很可能爆发。

    However, Dorn ultimately relented after spending seven days meditating in the pain glove. There, he concluded that the Legion could no longer serve the Emperor who had been and must serve the Emperor who was, which involved accepting the new order of which the Codex was a part.

    然而，多恩在用痛苦手套冥想了七天后最终让步了。在那里，他得出结论，军团不能只为曾经的帝皇服务，也必须为现在的帝皇服务。这涉及接受圣典所属的新秩序。

Deviations 偏离

    Secretly, however, Dorn formulated his own protocol to possibly circumvent the Codex Astartes known as the Last Wall, a code phrase that would require the Imperial Fists and the Successor Chapters to bind together under one supreme commander.

    然而，多恩秘密制定了可以绕过阿斯塔特圣典被称为“最终高墙”的自己的协议，这是一个密语，要求帝国之拳和子战团在一个最高指挥官的领导下团结在一起。

    Likewise, the Dark Angels and their successors, while dividing into chapters, have remained united in their single-minded pursuit of the Fallen.

    同样，黑暗天使和他们的子战团虽然分为不同的战团，但他们仍然团结一心，一心一意地追捕堕天使。

    The Space Wolves Legion, however, never fully accepted the new doctrine; rather they held sacred the teachings of their Primarch, Leman Russ. For that reason, the Wolves consist of twelve Great Companies, rather than the ten mandated by the Codex, and their system of organization and promotion bears little resemblance to that of hardline Codex chapters, such as the Ultramarines. Although the Space Wolves attempted to create Successor Chapters, the genetic instability of their gene-seed made a disaster of their first (and possibly last) attempt, the ill-fated Wolf Brothers.

    然而，太空野狼军团从未完全接受这一新教条；相反，他们认为他们的原体黎曼·鲁斯的教义是神圣的。因此，太空野狼由十二个大连组成，而不是圣典规定的十个连队，他们的组织和晋升体系与坚定的圣典战团（如极限战士）几乎没有相似之处。尽管太空野狼试图创建子战团，但他们基因种子的不稳定遗传给他们的第一次（也可能是最后一次）尝试——命运多舛的狼兄弟——带来了灾难。

    In the immediate aftermath of the Heresy, Nassir Amit, the founder and first chapter master of the Flesh Tearers, expressed little but scorn for the Codex, finding it amusing that Guilliman, who had been absent from the Battle of Terra, should think himself fit to impose restrictions on the other Legions.

    叛乱事件发生后，撕肉者的建立者和初代战团长纳西尔·阿密特对圣典表示蔑视，他觉得很有趣，因为基里曼没有参加泰拉战役，他却认为自己适合对其他军团施加限制。

Recent Reforms 近期改革

    After the resurrection of Guilliman in late M41, he began to see many of the flaws that came from overly-strict adherence to the Codex Astartes. As a result, he has reformed much of the Codex and eliminated much of its restrictions on Space Marines. New additions include the addition of Primaris Space Marine formations such as Intercessor, Aggressor, Inceptor, and Reiver Squads, as well as the inclusion of two Space Marine Lieutenants below the Company Captain, each commanding a demi-Company. Furthermore, Squads in the Codex Astartes are now defined as Battleline, Close Support, or Fire Support Squads. These formations exist alongside Veteran Squads, Scout Squads, and Vanguard Space Marine Squads.

    基里曼在M41晚期复活后，他开始看到许多因过于严格遵守阿斯塔特圣典而产生的缺陷。因此，他对圣典的大部分内容进行了改革，并取消了对星际战士的大部分限制。新增加的包括增加原铸星际战士编队，如仲裁者、侵略者、先驱者和掠夺者小队，以及在连长之下增加两名星际战士副官，每人指挥半个连队。此外，阿斯塔特圣典中的小队现在被定义为战线、近战支援或火力支援小队。这些编队与老兵小队、侦察小队和先锋星际战士小队并存。

    This means the number of squads in a perfectly compliant chapter are now 44 Battleline, 18 Close Support, and 18 Fire Support, in addition to 10 squads of veterans and 10 squads of scouts and Vanguard Space Marines, spread across the chapter's companies as detailed below.

    这意味着，一个完全合规的战团中的小队数量现在是44个战线小队、18个近战支援小队和18个火力支援小队，此外还有10个老兵小队、10个侦察兵小队和先锋星际战士小队，分布在该战团的各个连队中，详见下文。

    Guilliman ultimately intends to replace the Codex Astartes with the Codex Imperialis.

    基里曼最终打算用帝国圣典取代阿斯塔特圣典。

Organisational Doctrine 组织学说

    Every Chapter should be led by the Chapter Master, an accomplished warrior and strategists who coordinates the Chapter's strenght as a whole, assisted in his tasks by various headquarters staff (including any Honour Guard and the Chapter Champion), the Chapter's servitors and serfs.

    每个战团都应该由战团长领导，他是一位有成就的战士和战略家，负责协调战团的整体力量，并由各指挥部职员（包括任何荣誉卫队和战团冠军）、战团的机仆和奴工辅助完成任务。

    Existing outside the Company level organisation, each chapter has an Armoury consisting of the chapter's Techmarines Tanks, Gunships and vehicle staff (pilots, gunners) as it can muster, a Reclusiam hosting the Chaplains, a Librarium hosting the Librarians, and a combat-capable Chapter Fleet.

    存在于连级组织之外，每个战团都有一个军械库，由该战团的技术军士，坦克、炮艇和载具组人员（飞行员、炮手）组成，一个牧师主持的隐修会，一个智库馆员主持的智库，以及一个有作战能力的战团舰队。

    The Codex states that a Space Marine Chapter should be split into 10 companies of 100 Marines each, lead by a Space Marine Captain. Previously, each company would also include a Chaplain, an Apothecary, and a Standard Bearer. After the recent reforms, those specialists were replaced by 2 Lieutenants, each commanding a demi-company, and a Command Squad, composed of 2 Veterans, a Company Ancient, and a Company Champion.

    圣典规定，星际战士战团应分为10个连，每个连有100名星际战士，由一名星际战士连长领导。此外，每个连队还将包括一名牧师、一名药剂师和一名标准旗手。在最近的改革之后，这些专家被2名副官取代，每人指挥半个连队，以及一个由两名老兵、一名连队旗手和一名连队冠军组成的指挥小队。

  Codex heraldry 圣典纹章

    Each Space Marine company should use a specific heraldic symbol and color.

    每个星际战士连队都应该使用特定的纹章符号和颜色。

  Veteran Company 老兵连队

    The 1st Company is the most powerful company, consisting entirely of Veteran Space Marines. In addition to having access to the Chapter's rarest and most advanced technology, the 1st Company is the only one trained in and equipped with Terminator Armour. The veterans of the 1st are attached to other Space Marine strike forces rather than the entire formation fighting as one. When serving with other formations they serve as peerless mentors and heroes of legend as well as the most experienced shock troops.

    第一连是最强大的连，完全由星际战士老兵组成。除了可以使用本战团最稀有、最先进的技术外，第一连是唯一一个接受过终结者装甲训练并配备了终结者装甲的连队。第一连的老兵依附于其他星际战士打击部队，而不是整个编队作为一个整体作战。当与其他编队一起服役时，他们是无与伦比的指导者和传奇英雄，也是最有经验的突击部队。

    There are several types of Squads fielded by the Veteran Company. These include Terminator Squads, Sternguard Veteran and Vanguard Veteran Squads, and Bladeguard Veteran Squads.

    老兵连派遣了多种类型的队伍。其中包括终结者小队、肃卫老兵和先锋老兵小队以及剑卫老兵小队。

  Battle Companies 战斗连队

    The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th Companies are known as Battle Companies, as they generally form the main battle force deployed for engagements. These are highly flexible formations that are the principle fighting forces of the Chapter. Each Company is led by a Captain with two supporting Lieutenants. Support staff includes a Company Champion, and Company Ancient and Company Veterans, the most experienced and peerless warriors of the Company. In times of war the Battle Company may also be accompanied by one or more Chaplain, Librarians and Techmarines. In addition to their command duties, each Company Captain also has a number of titles and duties. Examples include the 2nd Company Captain holding the title of the Master of the Watch, the 4th as the Master of the Fleet, and the 5th as the Master of the Marches.

    第二、第三、第四和第五连被称为战斗连队，因为它们通常构成为交战部署的主战部队。这些是高度灵活的编队，是该战团的主要作战力量。每个连由一名连长和两名副官领导。支援人员包括一名连队冠军、连队旗手和连队老兵，他们是连队最有经验、最无与伦比的战士。在战争时期，战斗连也可能由一名或多名牧师、智库和技术军士陪同。除了指挥职责外，每个连长还有许多头衔和职责。例如，第二连长拥有守望之主的头衔，第四连长拥有舰队之主的称号，第五连长拥有行军之主的称号。

    Each Battle Company principally has ten squads:

    每个战斗连主要有十个小队：

• six Battleline Squads 六个战线小队

• two Close Support Squads 两个近战支援小队

• two Fire Support Squads. 两个火力支援小队

    The Codex, however, makes provisions for there to be twenty squads, for when squads from the reserve companies are attached. Additionally, a Company's squads can be split in two, forming combat squads. Each Company is in turn split into two demi-Companies, each led by a Lieutenant. The Companies go to war with their own arsenal of wargear and specialist equipment including Phobos Armour, Gravis Armour, Centurion Warsuits, Invictor Warsuits, Land Speeders, Rhinos, Impulsors, Razorbacks, Dreadnoughts, and Bikes. An entire company can fight in stealth if there is enough Phobos Armour to equip them all. The Company Captain can request additional vehicle assets from the armoury in the form of Battle Tanks and aircraft.

    然而，圣典规定，当预备连的小队加入时，将有20个小队。此外，一个连的小队可以分成两个，组成战斗小队。每个连又分为两个分连，每个分连由一名副官领导。这些连队带着自己的武器和专业装备作战，包括普罗比斯装甲、格拉维斯装甲、百夫长战甲、不败者战甲、兰德掠袭者、犀牛战车、反击者坦克、豪猪战车、无畏机甲和摩托。如果有足够的普罗比斯装甲来装备他们，整个连队都可以隐秘作战。连长可以要求军械库以战斗坦克和战机的形式提供额外的载具资源。

    Even the squads themselves can be broken down into a variety of roles should their Captain require it. Should 3 brothers be detached from their fire support squad to form an Eliminator Squad, the remaining seven can be formed into a Hellblaster Squad, pilot Invictor Warsuits, or fulfil a number of other roles including operating vehicles. Should the strength of a Battle Company be deemed insufficient, he will request support from one of the Reserve Companies, the formation of which depends on the mission. For instance, if he expects he will need fast-moving forces to rapidly secure ground or counter agile enemies, he will request Close Support Squads.

    如果连长需要，即使是小队本身也可以被分解为各种角色。如果3个兄弟从他们的火力支援小队中脱离出来，组成一个根除者小队，剩下的7个可以组成一个地狱轰击者小队、不败者机甲驾驶员，或履行一些其他作业，包括操作车辆。如果认为作战连的兵力不足，他将请求其中一个预备连的支援，预备连的组建取决于任务。例如，如果他预计需要快速移动的部队来快速保卫地面或对抗敏捷的敌人，他将请求近战支援小队。

  Reserve Companies 预备连队

    The 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Companies are the Reserve Companies, designed as training and reserve formations, used to bolster the Battle Companies in combat when needed.

    第6、第7、第8和第9连是预备连，被设计为训练和预备编队，用于在需要时支援战斗连。

    Rather than formations of mixed squad types, Reserve Companies contain squads of the same strategic disposition.

    预备连不是混合小队类型的编队，而是包含具有相同战略部署的小队。

• the 6th and 7th Companies each maintain 10 Battleline Squads 第6和第7连各有10个战线小队

• the 8th is made of 10 Close Support squads 第8连由10个近战支援小队组成

• the 9th is made of 10 Fire Support Squads 第9连由10个火力支援小队组成

    The Reserve Companies also embed additional specialities to provide the Chapter with the resources to fight campaigns. The 6th and 7th Companies undergo extensive training in vehicle piloting, the 8th specialize in storming defenses, and the 9th excel in providing devastating salvos of fire.

    预备役连还嵌入了额外的专长，为战团提供作战资源。第6和第7连广泛接受了载具驾驶培训，第8连专门从事突袭防御，第9连擅长提供毁灭性的齐射。

    Typically squads within the Reserve Companies will fight alongside a Battle Company, though on some occasion - particularly in a larger campaign - they might fight as a whole. Each Reserve Company has a leadership similar to a Battle Company, with a Captain, two Lieutenants, Chaplain, Apothecary, Ancient, and Company Veterans. Just as with the Battle Companies, the Captain of each Reserve Company also normally has an additional title and duties.

    通常，预备连内的小队会与战斗连并肩作战，但在某些情况下，尤其是在更大的战役中，他们可能会作为一个整体作战。每个预备连都有一个类似于战斗连的领导层，有一名连长、两名副官、牧师、药剂师、旗手和连队老兵。与战斗连一样，每个预备连的连长通常也有额外的头衔和职责。

    After graduating from the 10th Company, the first destination for a new Space Marine is the Reserve Companies. In the 9th they hone their understanding of wider strategy in the application of heavy firepower, in the 8th they learn the value of rapid assault and the importance of constant movement, while in the 6th and 7th they prove to their brothers and commanders that have assimilated these teachings. After mastering their aspects of war and have demonstrated enough worth will they be promoted to the Battle Companies.

    从第十连毕业后，新星际战士的第一个目的地是预备连。在第九连，他们磨练了对重型火力的应用中更广泛战略的理解，在第八连，他们学习了快速进攻的价值和不断移动的重要性，而在第六连和第七连，他们向他们的兄弟和指挥官证明了他们已经吸收了这些教导。在掌握了战争的各个方面并表现出足够的价值后，他们将被晋升到战斗连队。

  Scout Company 侦查连队

    The 10th Company, also known as the Scout Company, is the first destination for any new Neophyte of the Chapter once they have moved passed the Aspirant stage. There are no regulations dictated in the Codex as to the number of Neophytes a Chapter may have and the recruitment rate is not fixed and methods differ between Chapters. The Neophytes of the 10th have yet to earn the Black Carapace, the final implant that allows them to operate their Power Armour efficiently. Officers of the 10th all closely observe the members of the Company and teach them the way of the Bolter and blade. They also learn how to pilot Bikes and Land Speeders as well as concepts such as tactical withdrawals, target prioritizing, stealth, reconnaissance, and sabotage. Using these lessons they form the intelligence branch of the Chapter that undertake a variety of missions such as picking off sentries, cutting down enemy patrols, supply disruption, and battlefield reconnaissance. In war, they undertake these hazardous missions to measure their strength and ascertain who truly has the skill required to be a true Space Marine. Much like those of the Reserve Companies, members of the 10th are usually assigned to other Companies in war and rarely go to battle as a whole unit.

    第10连，也被称为侦查连，是该战团任何新进者在通过有志者阶段后的第一个目的地。圣典中没有规定一个战团可以拥有的新兵数量，招募率也不是固定的，战团之间的方法也不同。10连的新兵还没有获得黑色甲壳，这是最后一个植入物，可以让他们有效地操作他们的动力装甲。第十连的领袖们都密切观察着连队的成员，并教他们使用爆矢和刀刃的方法。他们还学习如何驾驶摩托和兰德速攻艇，以及战术撤退、目标优先级、隐秘行动、侦察和破坏等概念。利用这些经验教训，他们组成了该战团的情报部门，负责执行各种任务，如清除哨兵、消灭敌方巡逻队、中断供应和战场侦察。在战争中，他们执行这些危险的任务来衡量自己的实力，并确定谁真正具备成为一名真正的星际战士所需的技能。与预备连的成员非常相似，第10连的成员通常在战争中被分配到其他连，很少作为一个整体参加战斗。

    Currently, the Scout Company wields a variety of formations besides the basic Scout Squads and Scout Bike formations. It also fields a force of 100 Vanguard Space Marines that may take to the field as Infiltrators, Incursors, Suppressors, Eliminators, and Reivers as well as piloting Invictor Warsuits. Unlike the Scouts, these Vanguard Space Marines are a standing and permanent force within the Company and represent the elite special operations arm of the Chapter.

    目前，侦查连除了基本的侦查小队和侦查摩托编队外，还拥有各种编队。它还部署了一支由100名先锋星际战士组成的部队，他们可以作为渗透者、入侵者、压制者、歼灭者和掠夺者以及驾驶不败者战术机甲进入战场。与侦查兵不同，这些先锋星际战士是连队内的一支常设部队，代表着该战团的精英特种作战力量。

Heraldry 纹章

    Each Chapter has its own unique colour scheme and Chapter Badge; however, Codex Chapters all follow a common heraldry system, though there are many slight variations from the system below.

    每个战团都有自己独特的配色方案和战团纹章；然而，圣典各战团都遵循一个共同的纹章系统，尽管与下面的系统有许多细微的差异。

  Company Colours 连队颜色

    Each Company has a unique colour that its members wear, commonly on the shoulder plate rims, but some chapters use chest eagles, bolter cases, knee pads, helmets, or other parts of a Space Marine's Power Armour:

    每个连队都有其成员佩戴的独特颜色，通常在肩甲边缘，但有些战团使用胸甲天鹰、爆矢枪标志、护膝、头盔或星际战士动力装甲的其他部分：

• 1st Company: White or Silver 第一连：白或银

•  (members of the 1st Company should also paint their helmet the company colour).

• （第一连的成员应将头盔也涂成连队颜色）。

• 2nd Company: Yellow or Gold 第二连：黄或金

• 3rd Company: Red 第三连：红

• 4th Company: Green 第四连：绿

• 5th Company: Black 第五连：黑

• 6th Company: Orange 第六连：橘

• 7th Company: Purple 第七连：紫

• 8th Company: Grey 第八连：灰

• 9th Company: Light Blue 第九连：天蓝

• 10th Company: Company colour is not displayed on their armour, because of their need to blend with their surroundings on reconnaissance missions.

• 第十连：他们的盔甲上没有显示连的颜色，因为他们在执行侦察任务时需要与周围环境融为一体。

  Squad Markings 小队标记

    The left shoulder plate of a Space Marine in Power Armour always shows the Marine's Chapter Badge. The right pad shows the squad badge, this shows the type of squad the marine belongs to and the number of his squad. Veteran Squads use a stylised version of the Crux Terminatus similar to a Cross Pattée, Tactical Squads use an arrow, Assault Squads use four perpendicular arrows pointing outwards and Devastator Squads use an inverted V. Space Marines in Terminator Armour wear the Crux Terminatus on their left pad, and their Chapter Badge on their right pad.

    身穿动力装甲的星际战士的左肩甲上总是显示着星际战士的徽章。下图显示了小队徽章，这显示了星际战士所属的小队类型和他的小队编号。老兵小队使用类似十字章的风格化版本的终结者十字，战术小队使用箭头，突击小队使用四个指向外部的垂直箭头，毁灭者小队使用倒置的V形。终结者装甲中的星际战士在左肩甲上佩戴终结者十字，在右肩甲上佩戴战团徽章。

Excerpts 摘录

Known passages of the Codex Astartes:

阿斯塔特圣典的已知信息：

• "They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give themselves to me. Like clay, I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies, and machines such that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines, and they shall know no fear." - Prelude, The Codex Astartes (Apocrypha of Skaros)

• “他们将成为我最优秀的战士，这些献身于我的人。像粘土一样，我将塑造他们，在战争的熔炉中锻造他们。他们将拥有钢铁般的意志和钢铁般的肌肉。我将为他们披上厚重的盔甲，用最强大的枪支武装他们。他们不会受到瘟疫或疾病的影响，任何疾病都不会使他们枯萎。他们将有战术、战略和机器，使任何敌人都无法在战斗中击败他们。他们是我抵御恐怖的堡垒。他们是人类的捍卫者。他们是我们的太空陆战队员，他们将无所畏惧。”-序言，阿斯塔特圣典（斯卡罗斯经书）

• "They shall be pure of heart and strong of body, untainted by doubt and unsullied by self-aggrandisement. They will be bright stars in the firmament of battle, Angels of Death whose shining wings bring swift annihilation to the enemies of man. So it shall be for a thousand times a thousand years, unto the very end of eternity and the extinction of mortal flesh."

• "For our enemies will bring us to battle on the caprice of chance. The alien and the renegade are the vagaries of the galaxy incarnate. What can we truly know or would want to of their ways or motivations? They are to us as the rabid wolf at the closed door that knows not even its own mind. Be that door. Be the simplicity of the steadfast and unchanging: the barrier between what is known and the unknowable. Let the Imperium of Man realise its manifold destiny within while without its mindless foes dash themselves against the constancy of our adamantium. In such uniformity of practice and purpose lies the perpetuity of mankind." - Codicil CC-LXXX-IV.ii: The Coda of Balthus Dardanus, 17th Lord of Macragge, entitled Staunch Supremacies

• “因为我们的敌人会让我们在反复无常的情况下作战。异形和叛徒是银河系化身的变幻莫测。我们能真正了解或想要了解他们的方式或动机吗？对我们来说，他们就像关在紧闭的门前的狂暴野狼，甚至不知道自己的想法。就是那扇门。就是坚定不移的质朴：已知和不可知之间的屏障。让人类帝国在没有愚蠢敌人奋力反抗我们坚韧不拔的意志的情况下，意识到其内在的多重命运。在这种实践和目的的一致性中，人类是永恒的。”-附录 CC-LXXX-IV.ii：第十七任马库拉格领主，巴尔蒂斯·达尔达纽斯的终曲，题为“坚定的至高无上”

The Space Marine shall master all weapons, and all battlefields. When harried, the Space Marine shall drive his enemies back. The Space Marine will never know defeat."

• “星际战士将用战斗刀、爆矢枪和手榴弹攻击敌人。链锯剑是星际战士意志的体现。星际战士应掌握所有武器和所有战场。当受到骚扰时，星际战士会把敌人驱逐。星际战士永远不会知道失败。”
