LAND RAIDER PROTEUS?

The ancient and venerable Land Raider has served the Adeptus Astartes since its earliest beginnings and many variants and patterns are recorded in the data-stacks of Mars. Adepts?of the hallowed Adeptus Mechanicus collectively refer to the oldest of these as the 'Proteus' patterns, and examples of these mighty armoured vehicles that survive into the dark days of the 41st?Millennium are held in the highest regard, war-relics beyond compare to the Chapters that possess them.

?自其誕生的最初階段，古老而可敬的蘭德掠奪者便一直服務(wù)于阿斯塔特修會，火星的大堆數(shù)據(jù)資料中也記錄了此類載具的諸多型號與改型。神圣機械修會的教士們將那些最古老的種類統(tǒng)稱為“原初”型號，此類強悍的裝甲載具中那些幸存到第41個千年黑暗歲月中的個體都被人們以最高的敬意保存起來，對那些擁有他們的戰(zhàn)團而言，這些載具都是無可比擬的戰(zhàn)爭圣物。

Mechanicus tech-savants believe that the Land Raider Proteus is a precursor to the Phobos pattern vehicle now found amongst the armouries of the Adeptus Astartes. Bulkier and faster than the Phobos, ancient and forgotten data-looms describe the Proteus as a forward assault vehicle, commonly fielded in Explorator missions during the dawning days of Mankind's fledgling galactic empire?

機械神教的科技學(xué)者們相信：原型蘭德掠奪者是福波斯型載具的前身，后者仍能被發(fā)現(xiàn)于阿斯塔特修會的武庫中。相比于福波斯型載具，原型蘭德掠奪者體積更大且速度更快，古老且被遺忘的模糊數(shù)據(jù)資料將之描述為前進突擊載具，在人類新生銀河帝國的黎明時期，它們通常被用于探索任務(wù)。

Believed by certain war-savants to be an example of sacred machine-evolution, the Land Raider Armoured Proteus displays early features of the Mkllb Land Raider. These include enclosing its twin-linked lascannon in bulky armoured sponsons and adding to this formidable anti-armour firepower with a limited traverse twin-linked heavy bolter recessed into the forward hull armour.

某些戰(zhàn)爭學(xué)者相信裝甲式原型蘭德掠奪者是神圣的機械進化的樣本，它們展現(xiàn)出了llb型蘭德掠奪者的早期特征。其中就包括封閉于沉重裝甲炮廊內(nèi)的雙聯(lián)激光炮，以及安裝于前側(cè)裝甲車體上的一門橫向限制雙聯(lián)重型爆彈槍——這門武器增加了裝甲式原型蘭德掠奪者那可畏的反裝甲火力。

It is likely that the Proteus was the most common mark of Land Raider used by the Imperial Army, the combined main line military of the Imperium that was split into the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy in the galaxy-wide reorganisations that took place in the aftermath of the Horus Heresy.Of course, no Land Raiders of any pattern remain in the armouries of the Imperial Guard, the vehicle long since reserved for the near-exclusive use of the Adeptus Astartes.

原型蘭德掠奪者可能是帝國軍使用過的最常見蘭德掠奪者型號，而在發(fā)生于荷魯斯叛亂之后的銀河規(guī)模（軍事結(jié)構(gòu)）重組中，人類帝國中的復(fù)合型前線主力軍事力量被拆分為了帝國衛(wèi)隊和帝國海軍。當(dāng)然，（現(xiàn)在）帝國衛(wèi)隊的武庫中不再存留有任何型號的蘭德掠奪者，此類載具長期以來幾乎是僅供阿斯塔特修會使用。

Amongst the most revered of those few Land Raider Proteus still in existence are some that must surely have been utilised in the very earliest phases of the Great Crusade. Many of these war machines were equipped with an array of scanners and cognis-interpreters that are likely to pre-date the Age of the Imperium by countless millennia. Such devices may only be awakened and operated by the most lore-steeped adepts of the Machine God, for they utilise machine processes and logs protocols otherwise unknown in the 41st?Millennium. Referred to in hushed tones amongst Tech-Priests as Explorator?Augury Webs, these devices were once used to coordinate the epic battles fought by the Emperor's Space Marine Legions as they re-united the scattered worlds of Humanity.

在仍舊存在于世的少量原型蘭德掠奪者中，最受崇敬的那些必定在大遠征最初階段被使用過的載具。這些戰(zhàn)爭機器中有很多都裝備了一系列的掃描儀和認(rèn)知解讀設(shè)備——這些科技可能在距離帝國時代無數(shù)個千年之前便出現(xiàn)的。這些設(shè)備或許僅能由萬機之神座下最為精通知識的專家們來喚醒和操作，因為它們所使用的機械流程和邏輯協(xié)議在等41個千年都是不為人知的。這些設(shè)備被技術(shù)神甫們低聲喚作“探索者占卜網(wǎng)絡(luò)”，當(dāng)?shù)刍实男请H戰(zhàn)士軍團重新統(tǒng)一起分崩離析的人類諸世界時，它們曾被星際戰(zhàn)士們用于協(xié)調(diào)那些史詩般的戰(zhàn)斗。
