An ancient and proud Chapter, the Novamarines are hard-line adherents to the Codex Astartes who consider the?writ of the text itself to be divinely? ordained law. The Novamarines' outlook and disposition is very firmly rooted in a glorious past and a long history of leal and unwavering service in defence ol the Imperium. The Chapter's standards of probity and honour are such that they have been held up as an example even to other Chapters of the Astartes in the past, and are known to have drawn blood against those who would stray too far from the Codex's teachings. In character they are known to be hard and unwavering, and their sense?of honour and rectitude is unquestioned both by their fellow Astartes and the?powers of the Imperium. Uniformity of thought, strength of purpose and service to the Imperium before all else are the Chapter's key beliefs, and they have long been indepondent advocates of what the Inquisition would dub the 'Monodominant' outlook, espousing a doctrine of the complete extermination of all intelligent alien life in the galaxy In order for the survival of Humanily to be safeguarded.

新星戰(zhàn)士是一個古老而高傲的戰(zhàn)團，他們是阿斯塔特圣典的堅定擁護者，視這份文本內(nèi)容為神圣規(guī)定的法律。新星戰(zhàn)士的見解和性格牢固地植根于他們堅定不移忠誠保衛(wèi)帝國的漫長且榮耀的歷史中，無論在他們的阿斯塔特兄弟還是帝國其他勢力看來，他們的榮譽感和正直都是無可置疑的。戰(zhàn)團的核心信念是：思想統(tǒng)一、堅守目標(biāo)和效忠帝國優(yōu)于一切。他們長期以來都獨立地倡導(dǎo)著一種被審判庭戲稱為“純凈派”的理念，擁護“要徹底滅絕銀河中其他智慧外星種族來為人類存續(xù)提供保障”這一信條。

Their founding Master is known to have been Lucretius Corvo, a highly honoured Captain of the Ultramarines Legion who served as one of his Legion's champions during the brutal fighting against the Traitor Word Bearers Legion on Astagar during the Horus Heresy. During this desperate siege, Corvo's forces held out for six days against many times their number, and in one last, desperate counter-attack be and his chosen band managed to destroy the Traitor?Warlord Titan Fellghast and break the siege. For this action Corvo was awarded a Laurel of Defiance by his Primarch, a sacred object that is still enshrined on the Fortress Novum to the present day. The Chapter's rare use of a quartered livery is believed to based on Corvo's personal heraldry, further selling their first Master's stamp upon the Chapter. At their founding they were given the guardianship of the pre-lmperial fortress world of Honourum by Robute Guilkman himself, a site that had once marked the northward exlent of the Ultramarines Legion's advance into the galaclic north of the Segmontum Ultima. Honourum is a storm-wracked world of jagged mountains and barren stone lands, with little by way of flora and fauna: barely enough to allow it to be classified as a life sustaining world. Honourum's small population is divided up into feral huntor-gatherer tribes, nomadically picking their way across the bleak landscape. To them the vast redoubts and soaring bastions of the Fortress Novum, graven from Honourum’s greatest mountain range are no less than the halls of?the gods, and the rippling aurora cast into the static-charged night sky by the ?fortress monastery's void shields are gateways to the halls of the dead in the?world beyond. These simple and hardy primitives have provided the Novamarines with their recruits since tho Novamarines' founding, and during their Indoctrination Into the Chapter all vestiges of their past culture and beliefs are purged away and replaced wrth a pattern of thought and culture that any native of?distant Ultramar would instantly recognise. The one Idiosyncrasy of the autochthonic?traditions of Honourum's natives that is retained by the Chapter is the practice of ritually tattooing the skin. Each Novamarine's toughened hide over time becomes an illustration of their career and life, with sigils and abstract designs depleting the battles they have fought and the stars they have travelled. It is a commonly held belief among the Chapter that these vivid images serve to armour the soul from the predations of dark spirits, and that by the roll of deeds recorded on their flesh will the Emperor judge their worth in death.

他們的初代戰(zhàn)團長是盧克雷修斯 科爾沃，一位榮譽傍身的極限戰(zhàn)士軍團連長，在荷魯斯叛亂時期，他是在Astagar對抗懷言者叛徒軍團的殘酷戰(zhàn)斗中的軍團冠軍之一。在這場絕望的攻城戰(zhàn)中， 科爾沃的部隊面對數(shù)量數(shù)倍于己的部隊堅守了六天，并發(fā)動了一次絕望的反擊，最終，科爾沃選定的部隊成功擊毀了叛軍的戰(zhàn)將泰坦“隕落惡靈”，打破了圍困?？茽栁忠驗樽约旱倪@次表現(xiàn)被原體授予了抵抗者桂冠，這件神圣的賜物至今依舊被供奉在新星要塞中。戰(zhàn)團那罕見的四等分涂裝據(jù)信就是基于科爾沃的個人紋章，這進一步為新星戰(zhàn)士們打上了初代戰(zhàn)團長的標(biāo)記。他們在組建時就被羅伯特 基里曼本人給予了前帝國要塞世界Honourum的監(jiān)護權(quán)，這個站點標(biāo)志著極限戰(zhàn)士軍團在極限星域向銀河北部挺進的范圍。Honourum是個暴風(fēng)肆虐的世界，有著崎嶇的群山和貧瘠的石原，而且動植物稀少：它幾乎不足以被分類為能夠維持生命的世界。當(dāng)?shù)叵∩俚娜丝诜稚閹讉€未開化的采獵部落，在荒涼的大地上過著游牧生活。對他們而言，聳立于Honourum最為高聳的群山間的新星要塞的高聳工事和巨大堡壘不亞于眾神的殿堂，要塞修道院的虛空盾投射在寧靜夜空中起伏著的極光是通往這個世界之外的亡者之地的大門。從新星戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團建立開始，這些落后且強壯的原始人們就在為戰(zhàn)團提供新兵，而在他們進入戰(zhàn)團接受教導(dǎo)時， 他們那會被遙遠(yuǎn)的奧特拉瑪星區(qū)的所有原住民馬上識別出的過去文化信仰的所有遺存都會被抹除。被征召進入戰(zhàn)團的Honourum原住民保留了當(dāng)?shù)貍鹘y(tǒng)中的一種特質(zhì)：他們會在皮膚上儀式性的刺青。隨著時間的推移，每位新星戰(zhàn)士堅韌的皮膚就會成為他們事跡和生活的例證，使用標(biāo)記和抽象化的圖形來表明他們參與過的戰(zhàn)斗與前往過的群星。戰(zhàn)團中保有著一種共識：這些生動的圖像能武裝他們的靈魂，使其免受黑暗惡靈的侵害，而在他們死后，帝皇將會根據(jù)涂寫在他們血肉上的事跡來判斷他們的價值。

At their founding, the Novamarines swore an oath to defend the Segmentum Ultima from the enemies of Mankind, and in near eight thousand years have not wavered in this charge, and although they are not a purely fleet-based Chapter, they have often had cause to divide their warriors over vast areas of space in order to fulfil?their duty. This wide dispersal over a vast patrol area has meant that the Chapter has seldom fought?together as a whole. but while their strength is often divided, in the past this has meant that the Novamarines have been among the first to answer the?call of fellow Spaco Marine Chapters in need, most notably in recent years fighting in defence of the world of Obsidia，home planet of tho Sable Swords Chapter. This intervention prevented Obsidia being overrun by the mutant hordes of the Twisted Convocation while the bulk of the Sable Swords were engaged fighting the Eldar Swordwind on Larical's Folly. This valiant rescue has resulted in the swearing of an solemn oath of eternal debt by the Sable Swords to the Novamarines, something never taken lightly by the Chapter, and the Sable Swords are but the latest in a long line of Adeptus Astartes who owe such debts to the Chapter. This deed and many others of similar mettle throughout their long history has established the Novamarines with an enviable reputation for honour and brotherhood which few Space Marine Chapters can equal.

在他們創(chuàng)建時，新星戰(zhàn)士們發(fā)誓要保衛(wèi)極限星域免受人類之?dāng)车那址?，他們在將近八千年的時間中從未動搖過。他們雖然并非純粹的艦基戰(zhàn)團，但他們經(jīng)常會分出自己的戰(zhàn)士跨越遙遠(yuǎn)的太空距離來完成他們的職責(zé)。由于要在廣闊的巡邏區(qū)中進行大范圍的分散，這意味這戰(zhàn)團從未作為一個整體作戰(zhàn)過。不過雖然他們的兵力經(jīng)常分散，在過去這也意味著新星戰(zhàn)士是第一批回應(yīng)兄弟戰(zhàn)團求援呼叫的戰(zhàn)團，近來最為著名的行動就是防衛(wèi)黑貂之劍戰(zhàn)團的母星Obsidia世界。新星戰(zhàn)士的支援使Obsidia免遭被扭曲教團的變種人部落攻陷的厄運——當(dāng)時大部分黑貂之劍星際戰(zhàn)士正在Larical's Folly世界上與艾爾達(dá)劍風(fēng)大軍（機仆：直接說貝耶坦方舟的部隊不就行了…貝耶坦在靈族語里是劍刃之風(fēng)的意思）交戰(zhàn)。這次英勇的救援讓黑貂之劍戰(zhàn)團發(fā)誓他們永遠(yuǎn)欠下新星戰(zhàn)士一筆債務(wù)——這是星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團永遠(yuǎn)不會輕易發(fā)下的誓言，不過，黑貂之劍戰(zhàn)團也僅僅是諸多向新星戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團發(fā)下這種誓言的戰(zhàn)團中最新的一個，這次義舉和其他許多次相似的援助為新星戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團得到了幾乎沒有戰(zhàn)團能夠匹敵的榮譽和兄弟情義，也因此建立起了令人欽佩的名譽。

Organisation

組織

The Novamarines Chapter is a proud member of the 2nd Founding, having been spilt off fully formed from the Ultramarines Legion after the Horus Heresy as part of Guilliman's reforms of the Space Marines. As a result they have long been amongst the most strict and dogmatic adherents of the Codox Astartes and Its tenets, and have rigorously enforced its organisational mandates despite their companies often being scattered across the Imperium for much of the Chapter's history.The Chapter has also taken great pride in maintaining their insignia and martial culture all but unchanged since their founding. Much of the Chapter's honorifics and titles are all but Indistinguishable from those employed to this day by the Ultramarines and the other defenders of Ultramar, although the Chapter soparated from them by a gulf of distance and entirely independent In operation and fealty. Another notable feature of the Novamarines' panoply of battle is that they hold many war-relics of ancient provenance in fully operable condition from the bygone era of Imperial might before the Great Heresy. These all but irreplaceable assets are known to include a full complement of Terminator armour with which to equip their 1st?Company if needed, extensive arsenals of early pattern Predator. Vindicator and Whirlwind tanks and numerous Dreadnought frames which are maintained with great reverence by the Chapter forge on Honourum. Some of these potent weapons aro known to have fought in the battles of the Great Crusades, although their revered occupants have since changed many times down the millennia.?

新星戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團是第二次建軍中高傲的一員，他們是荷魯斯叛亂后基里曼重組星際戰(zhàn)士部隊計劃的一部分，完全從極限戰(zhàn)士軍團中分離出來。所以他們也是阿斯塔特圣典及其信條最為嚴(yán)格和教條的擁護者，雖然在戰(zhàn)團歷史上的大多數(shù)時候他們的連隊經(jīng)常被分派到帝國各處，但他們嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行（圣典）組織指令。從他們建立開始，新星戰(zhàn)士們就一成不變地保留了他們的徽章和軍事文化，他們對此非常自豪。雖然新星戰(zhàn)士與他們之間的距離遙不可及，而且在運作和效忠方面完全獨立，但戰(zhàn)團中的大部分敬語和頭銜都與極限戰(zhàn)士和其他保衛(wèi)奧特拉瑪?shù)膽?zhàn)團所使用的別無二致。新星戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)斗裝備的另一個顯著特征就是他們擁有很多處于完全運作狀態(tài)的古老戰(zhàn)爭圣物，它們甚至可能出現(xiàn)于帝國在大遠(yuǎn)征之前的時期。所有這些不可替代的已知資產(chǎn)中包括在需要時能夠裝備整個第一連的全套終結(jié)者動力甲，以及大量的早期型號掠食者坦克。Honourum上的戰(zhàn)團鑄造廠中也保留了大量的維護者攻城坦克、旋風(fēng)坦克和無畏機甲庫存。已知這些強大武器當(dāng)中的某些曾在大遠(yuǎn)征時期征戰(zhàn)四方，不過在幾千年的時間中，他們可敬的駕駛員也已經(jīng)換過很多次了。
