"The path of the Omnissiah has left humanity dithering in the darkness, incapable of advancing on the paths of knowledge. Embracing the warp reveals technology that the primitives on Mars could never dream of wielding."
—Magos Caine of the Five-Fold Path
“全能机械神所指明的道路使得人类陷入了永远无法得到知识的黑暗之中。然而，混乱的亚空间却揭示出了无数火星上的先贤们连做梦都无法想象的知识和技术。”

Added by Algrim Whitefang
The Dark Mechanicus, also known by its more archaic name as the Dark Mechanicum, is a sect of traitorous Tech-priests and members of the Collegia Titanica of the Adeptus Mechanicus who willingly swore their loyalty to the Warmaster Horus and the Chaos Gods as the Great Crusade came to a close and the terrible galactic conflict known as the Horus Heresy erupted in the early 31st Millennium. After the Horus Heresy ended in a pyrrhic victory for the Imperium, the traitorous Forces of Chaos that had served the Warmaster were driven towards the Eye of Terror during the brutal military campaigns remembered as the Great Scouring. The Renegade Tech-priests of the Dark Mechanicus were also driven from Mars by the resurgent Loyalists amongst the Adeptus Mechanicus. These Renegades fled the Imperium into the far corners of the galaxy and some also took refuge in the Eye of Terror. In exile, the Dark Mechanicus became even more enthralled to the power of the Warp and heretical technologies.
黑暗机械派有一个更加古老的名字—黑暗机械神教。他们是从技术牧师、泰坦委员会和机械大师等诸多机械神教的职位中叛变出来的叛徒，这些人在31千年由荷鲁斯大叛乱所导致的
剧烈而又混乱的银河冲突中投向了战帅荷鲁斯和混沌之神的阵营。在帝国凭借一场皮鲁士式的胜利杀死了荷鲁斯之后，那些侍奉着战帅的混沌叛军们为了躲避后来被命名为大清洗的来自帝国方面的野蛮追杀的行动而逃进了恐惧之眼。在此期间，这些机械牧师的叛徒们被那些忠诚的机械修士们驱逐出了火星，这些叛徒不得不四散奔逃到帝国星系的每一个角落，而许多人则选择逃进恐惧之眼里。在此期间，黑暗机械神教更加着迷于那些诡异然而却十分强大的亚空间和异端科技。

History
A God Incarnate
When the Age of Strife came to an end in the 30th Millennium, the Emperor of Mankind was determined to bring to fruition his future plans for human unity in a very hostile galaxy. He knew the time had come to unite all of humanity under one banner after the destructive birth of the Chaos God Slaanesh in the 30th Millennium reopened the galaxy to Warp travel and communication . With the use of genetically-modified warriors who presaged the development of the first Space Marines, he quickly rose to dominance on Old Earth, uniting the once-divided nations of Mankind's birthplace during the Unification Wars. He then set his sights on the wider galaxy, and with his newly-created Space Marine Legions at the forefront of his great expeditionary fleets, the Emperor launched his Great Crusade out into the void.
神之化身
当冲突岁月在30千年结束时，人皇决定实现自己的宏伟计划：将广大星系中那些胸怀敌意的人类团结在一起。随着混沌邪神莎莉士的诞生，亚空间航道和通讯得以恢复，使得帝皇认为团结所有人类的时机已经到了。凭借着其被视为星际战士雏形的基因改造战士的强大战力，帝皇迅速的控制了旧地球，在光辉的统一战争中将这个在第一次分裂时代中分裂出的多个国家重新团结起来。接着他将目光头像了辽阔的宇宙，并且带领着他作为由星际战士军团作为前线主力的太闲舰队展开了这场光辉的远大圣战。
When the Emperor had first come to Mars seeking an alliance between his regime and the powerful Cult Mechanicus, the Tech-priests had recognised a kindred spirit; a man of science who valued the power of machines and technological advancement. As word of the "technological divinity" of this strange golden warrior reached the wider populace of Mars after the Emperor's first arrival at the Red Planet atop the mountain of Olympus Mons, some Tech-priests even began to equate the Emperor with the physical embodiment within the universe of their own Machine God -- the Omnissiah. The Emperor forged an alliance with the Mechanicum through the Treaty of Mars -- an alliance of two empires that marked the true foundation of the Imperium of Man. In return for supplying the needed materiel for his armies and building a mighty warfleet in the orbital shipyards of Mars' Ring of Iron for his crusade to reunite the stars, the Emperor promised to protect the Tech-priests and respect the autonomy of their Forge Worlds and their freedom to continue to practice their faith. This was a protection offered despite the official atheism of the Imperial Truth that the Emperor intended to promulgate across all the other worlds of the newborn Imperium.
当帝皇刚刚到达火星时，他寻求一个在自己的政权和强大的机械神教之间的联盟。同时，机
械牧师们对帝皇也有着相似的认识：一个重视机械的力量和技术进步的科学家。在帝皇首次降临这颗火红色的星球，在火星的奥林匹斯山顶峰着陆时，技术之神的美称很快成了这个略微奇怪的金甲战士最广为流传的名字，许多机械修士甚至已经开始把帝皇当做他们的机械全能神大人在人世间的化身了。随后，帝皇和机械神教共同签署了日后被称为火星条约的盟约，这个两个帝国的盟约标志着人类帝国真正的奠基。为了回报机械神教在为这场收复人类世界而进行的伟大圣战所做出的诸多诸如提供的大量军火和修建于火星的铁指环轨道船坞的强大舰队这样的伟大贡献，帝皇承诺了它将会保护技术牧师并且尊重铸造世界的自治权，以此来确保机械神教的忠诚。尽管帝皇已经准备在其新生的帝国中所有的世界宣扬无神论作为帝国的根本思想，但他仍然允诺了保护机械神教的思想。
Dissension in the Ranks
For the masses of Mars, the Omnissiah was now a tangible being, a golden figure who had trod the red surface of Mars. But a small minority believed that the Emperor was nothing more than a False God who had enslaved the Martian Priesthood to his will with lies. This bitter resentment, harboured over the next two centuries, would fester below the surface, until such time when this rancorous hatred would boil over into a terrible rebellion against the authority of this False God. This small sect of dissenters believed the Emperor purposely came to Mars in the guise of the Omnissiah, albeit a false god who came at the head of an army of conquest. The peace that the Emperor had offered the Mechanicus was illusory, a conceit designed to conceal a darker truth. These dissenters believed that the Emperor offered peace with one hand whilst keeping a dagger behind his back with the other. In reality, the Emperor’s offer was an ultimatum, "Join with me o r I will simply take what I need from you." Faced with a choice that was no choice at all, the Tech-priests had been forced to bargain away the autonomy of Mars and see the sacred Red Planet become little better than a vassal world of Terra, Mars' ancient rival for leadership among Mankind during the Age of Technology.
纠纷不断
对于火星上的人来说，机械全能神此时已经有了一个真是的化身，此人就是那个耸立在火星赤红色地表的金色之人。然而一小群人却认为帝皇除了是一个用谎言来奴役着广大机械牧师们来达成他意志的伪神外一无是处。这股不但腐蚀着人内心的怨恨足足隐藏了两个世纪之久，并且最终将要爆发成一场反抗伪神权势的大叛乱。即使帝皇带领着一支强大的征服大军，这一小部分发对者相信伪神在抵达火星时是故意扮作机械全能神的。帝皇所允诺的给机械神教的和平也是虚伪的，机械神教的自负隐藏了一个黑暗的事实，那就是这些反抗者所相信的：帝皇用一只手呼唤和平，然而那只隐藏在背后的手则握着一把致命的匕首。事实也的确如此，帝皇的最后通牒就是这个意思：“假如我，否则我将轻易地从你那里拿走我需要的东西。”面对着这个根本不是选择的选择，机械牧师们最终被迫牺牲掉了火星的自治权并且看着他们那神圣而又伟大的红色星球成为了远不如他的地球—在技术时代和火星争夺人类领导权的老对手—的封臣。
Imminent War
Two Terran centuries passed after the signing of the Treaty of Mars, and the individual known as Kelbor-Hal rose to a position of much prominence within the Adeptus Mechanicus. He had become the Fabricator-General of Mars, the master of the Red Planet's mightiest forge city, Olympus Mons. The fact that such an ambitious and duplicitous individual ever rose to prominence and the eventual leadership of the Adeptus Mechanicus is one of the great tragedies of Imperial history. It is remarkable to Imperial scholars of today that an individual as extraordinarily
gifted as Kelbor-Hal could be so wrong-headed as to bring so mighty and august a body as the Mechanicus over to the service of heresy and rebellion.
即将到来的战争
在签署了火星条约之后的两个泰拉世纪后，一位叫做卡尔博-哈尔的神甫在机械神教内部的地位愈发的重要。很快，他成为了火星的铸造将军，拥有火星上最为强大的铸造城市—奥林匹斯山。机械神教允许一个像他这样野心勃勃又诡计多端的人最终手握机械神教大权的人，暗示着他即将会在帝国的悠久历史中留下一系列悲剧。对于今日的许多国学者来说，哈尔是一个值得惊醒的例子，就算是一个像哈尔这样有着非凡才华，同时的人最终也会抛弃他自身的力量和尊严，选择去侍奉异端和叛乱。
The Fabricator-General knew he should be proud of his accomplishments, for he had uncovered more of the secrets of technology than any before him and had overseen the longest reign of increasing production quotas in the Mechanicum’s history. But pride, like many other emotional responses, had all but vanished as the organic Cogitator once housed in his skull had been gradually replaced with synthetic synapses and efficient conduits for logical thought. The climate on Mars was full of discontent during this tumultuous time in the days just before Horus openly declared his rebellion against the Emperor. There were tense relations between the various Mechanicus Magi who governed Mars, with sporadic outbreaks of espionage and violence being committed against the various forges that represented the primary sociopolitical units of Mars. There were even unconfirmed suspicions that the various Titan Legions of the Collegia Titanica, the most potent military forces available to the Mechanicus, had already secretly chosen sides in case of a potential conflict.
卡尔博-哈尔知道他因该为自己的成就而自豪，毕竟，在他之前从来没有人能发现那么多早已遗失的科技，也没有人能够像他监督生产时那样留下机械神教有史以来最快的生产记录。然而在安装在他头盖骨里的沉思者组织系统逐步被综合型神经突触和高速逻辑思考回路代取代后，他的自豪和他其他的诸多感情一起销声匿迹了。在荷鲁斯公开宣布自己对抗帝皇的大叛乱之前的冲突时期，火星上便已经充满了各种不满的呼声。伴随着相互之间越来越多的间谍冲突和针对那些代表火星原有的统治者的工厂展开的暴力行动，那些统治着火星的机械神甫们之间的关系也也愈发紧张。甚至有一些未经正式的猜测认为许多泰坦学会的军团—拱卫机械神教的最为强大的军事力量—已经做好应对任何潜在冲突的周全准备。
Rise of the Dark Mechanicus
At the outset of the Horus Heresy, the Warmaster Horus sent Regulus, an Adeptus Mechanicus representative who had already thrown in his lot with the Warmaster, to Mars to secure the tentative support of the Fabricator-General of the Adeptus Mechanicus for his dreams of rebellion. Kelbor-Hal was skeptical at first, for the Emperor had been brought to his forge over two centuries earlier, and Kelbor-Hal had been forced to bend the knee to him. The ruler of the once-lowly Terran techno-barbarian tribes had made empty promises of an equal role in his grand crusade of conquest, but that vaunted equality had never materialised in the Fabricator-General's view. The Mechanicus continued to toil in its myriad manufactorums and orbital shipyards across the galaxy's Forge Worlds to provide the Emperor's armies with the needed weapons of war, but received nothing for their efforts but platitudes. Kelbor-Hal knew Horus Lupercal was a warrior of vision, but Kelbor-Hal wanted to know what he could offer in addition to platitudes.
黑暗机械神教的崛起
在荷鲁斯大叛乱刚刚开始的时候，战帅荷鲁斯向火星派出了他那位早已将自己的命运交给了战帅的机械神教代表—瑞格鲁斯。瑞格鲁斯的任务是在为了他们梦寐以求的叛乱而在机械神教的铸造将军中建立一个短暂的然而稳固的供应链。卡尔博-哈尔一开始表示怀疑，因为自帝皇莅临他的铸造城市以来已经过了足足两个世纪，而在此期间他一直都被迫向其俯首称臣。这位来自曾经地位卑贱的地球的蛮族部落统治者曾经信誓旦旦地保证机械神教在远大圣战这场恢宏的征服之旅中将会得到平等的对待，然而对于铸造将军来说，这种所谓的平等却从未真正出现过。机械神教的教众继续在整个银河系间的铸造世界中的无数工厂和轨道船坞里挥汗如雨辛勤工作，只为了满足帝皇那庞大的军队对武器永不满足的需要。但他们得到了什么回报呢？除了那些腐朽的陈词滥调之外别无他物。卡尔博-哈尔知道荷鲁斯露西卡是一个理想的战士，但卡尔博-哈尔想要知道除了这些陈词滥调之外他还能够得到什么。Regulus explained to the Fabricator-General that much had happened since the Emperor took his leave of the expeditionary forces after the success of the Ullanor Crusade and the installation of his favorite son Horus, as the Warmaster and his proxy in command of the Great Crusade. He assured Kelbor-Hal that alignments had shifted and that new powers emerged from the shadows, offering their aid to those with the strength of vision to heed them. Horus Lupercal was one such individual, and he was now assuredly a friend of the Mechanicus.
瑞格鲁斯向铸造将军解释了许多事情，在乌拉诺圣战之后，帝皇册封他最喜爱的儿子—荷鲁斯为战帅，并且将远大圣战的一切事物交由他掌管，接着他便离开了远征军。瑞格鲁斯向卡尔博-哈尔保证，他们已经和那些来自阴影中的行的力量缔结了同盟，这股力量将会让他们真正拥有自我的野心。荷鲁斯就是其中之一，而现在他已经有了一个机械神教的朋友了。When it came time to strike at the Emperor and his Imperium, Horus guaranteed to be a friend to Mars as long as the Fabricator-General gave his loyalty--and his manufacturing capabilities--over to the cause of the Traitors. Horus also required the Fabricator-General to quash any dissent amongst his own Tech-priests so that the forces of the Warmaster would be able to launch their bid for supremacy within the Sol System without fear of counterattack. Any factions loyal to Terra must be brought to heel or destroyed before the Warmaster’s forces reached the Solar System. The Fabricator-General informed Regulus that the Warmaster had asked much of him and the Mechanicus already. They had already delivered, for they had already ensured that materials and weapons were priority-tasked to those expeditionary fleets of the Great Crusade that the Warmaster favoured and had delayed shipments to those not aligned with him. But the Mechanicus had no desire to trade one autocrat for another.
当荷鲁斯和帝皇的冲突正式爆发时，荷鲁斯保证只要铸造将军向他尽忠—顺便再提供他那卓越的制造能力—，他就会保证火星和自己的友好关系。荷鲁斯也要求铸造将军清除掉来自他的技术牧师中的任何反对的声音，如此来，战帅就可以在不用顾忌任何反击的情况下在太阳系构建自己的霸权。任何忠于泰拉的学会都必须在战帅的大军莅临太阳系之前被踢出决策权或者干脆被彻底消灭。铸造将军通知瑞格鲁斯战帅向他要求的诸多事情机械神教都已经做好准备了。他们已经准备好将那些战帅十分需要的原本属于远征舰队的大量优先级的武器和装备送往战帅的大军里，同时拖延那些并没有和他每年结盟的远征舰队的船只的供给。尽管他可以做到以上的所有承诺，但铸造将军表示机械神教绝对不会想要和另外一个暴君做生意。Regulus assured Kelbor-Hal that the Warmaster pledged to return the Martian Empire to its former glory, and furthermore, he swore to withdraw any non-Mechanicus forces from all of the Forge Worlds after the Emperor had been overthrown. To allay the Fabricator-General's misgivings, the Warmaster promised to provide the Mechanicus the lost secrets of ancient Standard Template
Construct (STC) technology that had been recovered from the worlds of the recently subjugated Auretian Technocracy by the Warmaster's Sons of Horus Legion. The Fabricator-General was impressed with the Warmaster's gift, and admitted that it was a valuable STC database, but he wanted more. Regulus had anticipated this demand, and told Kelbor-Hal that the Warmaster promised to lift all restrictions on research into those technologies like Abominable Intelligence (A.I.) that the Emperor had declared forbidden. To cement the alliance between the Mechanicus and the Warmaster and display the Traitors' seriousness about their cause, Horus had provided Regulus with the protocols required to unlock the infamous Vaults of Moravec.
瑞格鲁斯向卡尔博-哈尔保证，战帅会将给火星帝国带来曾经的荣耀，除此之外，他还承诺在推翻了帝皇通知之后战帅会收回驻守在所有铸造世界的非机械神教势力。为了减轻铸造将军的担忧，战帅亲自承诺会提供给机械神教许多来自被战帅的荷鲁斯之子军团新近征服的许多世界中发掘出来的古老的STC技术模块。铸造将军对于战帅的礼物颇为震惊，并且承认这些STC的数据十分的宝贵，但他渴望更多的东西。瑞格鲁斯预料到了他的要求，告诉卡尔博战帅已经许诺解除对许多诸如AI技术那样的被帝国明令禁止的的科技研究的限制。为了巩固战帅和机械神教之间的联盟，同时也是为了展示显示叛军们的强大破坏力，荷鲁斯给了瑞格鲁斯解锁声名狼藉的莫拉维茨地窖的条款。
The Vaults of Moravec were a repository of forbidden knowledge that the Emperor had ordered sealed two centuries earlier after the signing of the Treaty of Mars, for the vaults contained innumerable artefacts of technology that had been fashioned or corrupted by the malign power of Chaos or were in themselves incredibly dangerous, such as Warp-based weapons and ancient artificial intelligences. Greedily, the Fabricator-General struck the dark bargain, accepting Horus' proposal and willingly joined forces with the Warmaster, assisting the Traitors with all of the technology of Mankind at his disposal.
莫拉维茨地窖是一座充满了被封印的知识的仓库，这里在地球和火星签署了火星条约之后便被帝国永久的封闭了。因为这里储存的无数人造物品不是早已被混沌的邪恶力量重新塑形或者腐蚀了，就是像亚空间武器这样的人造科技一样十分的危险。果然，贪婪的铸造将军沉迷于这些黑暗造物之中，接受了荷鲁斯的提议并且愿意加入他的队伍，他将会利用所有他可以处理的人类技术来协助叛军。
Schism of Mars
火星大分裂
Dark Mechanicus forces wage open warfare against the Loyalist Techno-Magi Koriel Zeth, the Mistress of Magma City
Added by Algrim Whitefang
When this repository was reopened, there was all manner of forbidden arcane knowledge and weaponry that had obviously been tainted by the corrupting influence of Chaos stored within. Soon the corruption spread throughout the forges and temples to the Machine God across the Red Planet as scrap code -- Chaos-contaminated digital source code that was infected with an arcane computer virus -- infested the logi-stacks and Cogitator (computer) archives of the Adeptus Mechanicus, causing literal Chaos to emerge in any Cogitator system that was networked to one of its infected counterparts.
为了消灭岩浆之城的城主，忠诚于帝国的高阶技师科瑞尔?泽塔女士，黑暗机械神教的部队发动了一场大规模的战争。
当仓库重新开放之后，他们发现了各种被禁止传播的神秘知识和武器，这些人造物品已经明显的被那些寄存其中的混沌之力腐蚀和重塑了。很快这种腐败以数据的形式拓展到了这颗红
色星球上的所有铸造厂和供奉着机械神的神殿里，混沌的力量以一种神秘的电脑病毒的形式毁灭了几乎所有被它感染的属于机械神教的逻辑书库和沉思者图书馆，使得混沌之力以数字化的形式浮现在任何通过网络被感染的沉思者系统之中。
The opening acts of treachery had already occurred, yet the Fabricator-General could not openly march to war against the Emperor without the appropriate pretense, providing the excuse to silence his detractors and eliminate his rivals. The Fabricator-General and his allies amongst what would later be called the Dark Mechanicus, used the disruption unleashed by the scrap code attack to bide their time and marshal the strength of their forces. Kelbor-Hal and his allies also used the tactics of sabotage and assassination in an attempt to eliminate those who were unwilling to join their cause. But the opportunity to go openly to war eventually presented itself when the Techno-Magi Koriel Zeth, the Mistress of Magma City, declared that she did not believe the Omnissiah actually existed. This open apostasy from the sacred doctrines of the Cult Mechanicus was the excuse the forces of the Dark Mechanicus needed to finally wage open warfare against their enemies, declaring them to be heretics and apostates to the faith that had been sacred on Mars for millennia. Magma City would soon become a focal point in the struggle for those amongst the Mechanicus who remaiend Loyal to the Imperium. Open warfare eventually erupted across the Red Planet as Martian forces, both civilian and military, fought one another in a deadly and escalating civil war whose destructiveness mirrored that unfolding in the wider galaxy between Loyalist and Traitor forces.
尽管叛乱行动已经开始了，但铸造将军还不能在没有借口的情况下公开的发动对抗帝皇的战争，同理，他也同样需要可以让他名正言顺的让那些批评者闭嘴和消灭那些他的对手的借口。铸造将军和他那日后会被成为黑暗机械神教的盟友充分利用了之前所释放的电脑病毒所造成的巨大破坏为其争取到的时间，这段时间里，他们重整了自己的部队，为战斗做好了准备。卡尔博-哈尔和他的盟友也组织了一些旨在消灭那些不愿意加入他大义的反对者破坏和刺杀行动。但很快，正是开战的时机到了，高阶技师科瑞尔?泽塔女士，熔岩之城的女城主，公开表示自己不相信机械之神是真切存在的。这种对神圣的机械神教公然的变节正是黑暗机械神教的军队最后发动全面战争，宣告其叛徒身份并且宣布效忠于火星千年来神圣的信仰所必须的借口。
Acts of Treachery
叛徒的行动
To help the Warmaster achieve his goals, Kelbor-Hal oversaw the construction of the mighty Battleship Furious Abyss in the orbital shipyard of Thule, a former asteroid, which had been towed by the Mechanicus into orbit of the gas giant of Jupiter in the Sol System, far beyond
prying eyes and questions. This formidable warship was unlike any other of its kind. It was so heavily armoured that it could withstand even a concerted assault from a planetary laser defence battery. It was the greatest and largest vessel ever assembled by Mankind, unique in every way and powerful beyond reckoning.
为了帮助战帅，卡尔博在极北轨道铸造厂监督了强大的深渊狂怒战舰的整个建造过程。极北是一个古老的小行星，它原本来自气态星球木星，之后被机械神教拖拽到了火星的轨道上，有利于遮人耳目。那艘刚刚建造出来的强大战船和任何战舰都不一样。他有着厚重到足以抵挡来自星球防御系统的一阵激光齐射的甲板。这是人类有史以来建造过的最为庞大的战舰，它在任何一方面都有着过人之处，而且比历史上任何战舰都要强大得多。
Kelbor-Hal had sanctioned the construction of such a vessel because it suited his great purpose, namely the burgeoning desire, or rather intrinsic programming, within the servants of the Machine God to gradually become one with their slumbering deity. The Emperor had sought to place restrictions upon the Mechanicus' ability to explore every avenue of knowledge that might lead to a closer unity with the Machine God. Horus had promised to remove all of those restrictions and perhaps open even new vistas of knowledge for the Mechanicus to explore in the form of his allies amongst the entities of the Warp. Faced with such a choice, the question of Kelbor-Hal's allegiance and that of the Mechanicus factions loyal to him had required mere nanoseconds of computation.
因为成功建造了如此一艘强大的战舰，卡尔博哈尔大受鼓舞，换句话说他那日益增长的渴望，又或者说是本身所固有的程序设计，便是在服务机械神时和他们那沉睡的申明一样逐渐的成为一个神。那些被帝皇明令禁止的知识极有可能会让他们更加接近于他们的机械之神。荷鲁斯承诺了他将会允许他们不受限制的寻求知识，甚至会带领他们在整个亚空间中尽情畅游，获取多的超乎其想象的知识。面对这样一个选择，他仅仅花了一纳秒的运算时间，便毫不犹豫的彻底抛弃了对帝国和机械神教的忠诚。
The Furious Abyss had been intended to become the new flagship of the traitorous Word Bearers Space Marine Legion. None could know of the vessel’s existence until it was too late. Steps had been taken to ensure that remained the case. The massive Battleship had been created with one deliberate mission in mind: the annihilation of an entire Space Marine Legion. The Word Bearers' ultimate aim as part of the Warmaster's larger plan of conquest was to infiltrate the Realm of Ultramar in the Eastern Fringes of the galaxy and attempt to destroy the Ultramarines Legion and their homeworld of Macragge.
深渊狂怒成为了怀言者军团的新旗舰。在一切都太迟之前，没有人知道这艘旗舰的存在，而诸多保密的措施也在有条不紊的进行着，保证他只会在必要时才会浮现在世人眼前。建造这艘强大的战舰的目的只有一个：灭绝一整个星际战士军团。作为战帅那宏大计划的一部分，怀言者的最终目的是潜入远东星域的极限星系，并且摧毁极限战士军团和他们的家园世界。In a final act of treachery, Kelbor-Hal had the Jovian shipyards destroyed once the Furious Abyss was complete. There was no time to flee to safety for the workers at the yards and no survivors. Every Tech-priest, Servitor and Menial present at the yards was burned to ash. None would discover the massive starship that had been fabri cated upon the asteroid’s surface until it was much, much too late. A great deal of precious technology was lost during Thule’s destruction and so it proved to be a steep price for the Traitor elements within the Mechanicus to pay for the absolute and certain secrecy required to bring to fruition the Warmaster's plan to destroy the Ultramarines. But in the end, the Fabricator-General’s will had been carried out and the Dark Mechanicus played its part in the tragedy that would ultimately unfold on a world called Calth.
在深渊狂怒号完成之后，卡尔博哈尔用他彻底摧毁了朱庇特船坞。对于工人来说，他们跟没有时间疏散到安全地区，所以这次袭击没有留下一个生还者。每个在场的技术牧师，仆从和机奴都被烧成了灰。在一切都太迟之前，没有一个人发现这艘就在他们头顶的轨道上被慢慢组装出来的强大的星舰。在极北之地的破坏下，大量宝贵的知识都毁于一旦，这个代价对于那些机械神教的叛徒来说实在是太大了，但这也是为了保证他们可以完全的满足战帅摧毁极限战士团的伟大计划。
Horus Heresy
The members of what became known as the Dark Mechanicus supported Horus during the start of the Horus Heresy and they participated in the attacks against the Loyalist Space Marine Legions on Istvaan V where they used dark and forbidden knowledge to help destroy the Loyalist Astartes. Later, the Dark Mechanicus, led by the Fabricator-General Kelbor-Hal, unleashed the terrible civil war upon the Mechanicus known as the Schism of Mars in a bid to restore the autonomy of the Mechanicus from the Imperium of Man. This effort failed when Horus was slain at the end of the Horus Heresy during the Battle of Terra and the Loyalist elements of the Mechanicus succeeded in driving their Chaos-corrupted brethren from the Red Planet. Many of these so-called Hereteks of the Dark Mechanicus fled into the Eye of Terror alongside the other Traitors after the Great Scouring, when the Imperium recovered most of the territory across the galaxy that had been lost to Horus' Traitor forces.
荷鲁斯大叛乱
那些支持荷鲁斯的人现在被称为黑暗机械神教。这些人参与了发生在伊斯特万5号上针对忠诚军团的屠杀，他们利用那些黑暗和被封印的知识来消灭那些忠诚的阿斯塔特。之后，黑暗机械神教在铸造将军卡尔博-哈尔的带了阁下，和那些试图重建和帝国关系的忠诚势力展开了一场激烈恐怖的内战。然而，随着荷鲁斯战死在泰拉之战，他们所做的所有努力也都付之东流，忠臣的机械神教成功的驱逐了他们那些被混沌力量腐蚀的同胞们。为了躲避帝国为了清除荷鲁斯叛军的势力而在整个银河展开的大清洗运动，许多现在已经被称为异端的黑暗机械神教成员和其他叛徒一起堕入了恐惧之眼
Post-Heresy
At present, the Tech-priests and Dark Magi of the Dark Mechanicus, who are considered Hereteks amongst their counterparts in the Cult Mechanicus, have pledged their souls to the worship of the Dark Gods of Chaos. Within the Eye of Terror they continue to service and maintain the war machines and wargear of the Traitor Legions, the Traitor Titan Legions and the other Forces of Chaos with equal fervour. They plumb the depths of secret and forbidden knowledge kept hidden by the Ruinous Powers. Still dedicated to the acquisition of all knowledge in the universe much like their Loyalist counterparts, the Dark Mechanicus believes their uncorrupted brothers and sisters in the Adeptus Mechanicus are fools, for they will never be able to fully comprehend the divinity that is true knowledge if they cut themselves off from the secrets offered by the Dark Gods. The Tech-adepts of the Dark Mechanicus see the Omnissiah of the Cult of the Machine as being embodied in the power of Chaos Undivided rather than the Emperor of Mankind. As such, they pledge themselves to the destruction of the God-Emperor, who they believe is a false prophet who has led the rest of their fellows astray. The members of the Adeptus Mechanicus are horrified by what they view as their Chaotic counterparts' tech-heresy, and feel that the Dark Mechanicus' knowledge is a blasphemous affront to the Machine God and his Omnissiah, even as they are always curious to learn more about what their dark brethren are up to...
目前，那些被称作异端的属于黑暗机械神教的技术牧师和黑暗高阶技师们用他们那早已被出
卖灵魂来崇拜黑暗之神。在恐惧之眼里以平等的热情来继续为那些叛徒军团和叛乱的泰坦军团服务和维护他们的机械和装备。他们也愈发深入的探索着那些极具破坏力的隐秘知识。和他们的忠诚同胞一样，他们也热衷于在全宇宙范围内搜索宝贵的知识，黑暗机械神教相信他们那些未堕落的兄弟姐妹们都是一群蠢货，因为在没有黑暗之神所施舍的那些秘密真理的帮助下，他们永远也不可能理解他们所信仰的神。这些黑暗机械神教的科技强化人认为机械神只能凭借强悍的混沌之力才能呈现于人世，而非那脆弱的帝皇。同样的，他们保证总有一天要毁灭神皇，那在他们眼中用谎言来引领那些迷途的追随者的虚伪的先知。机械神教的人十分惧怕他们的这些腐败而又混沌的同澳门，他们觉得黑暗机械神教的知识对于机械神是十分不敬的，尽管如此，他们仍然对于他们的黑暗同胞们到底学到了什么而充满了好奇。Beyond the Imperium
The Adeptus Mechanicus hold their darkest hatred for those Renegade forces of their own brethren that turned on them during the Horus Heresy, Traitors who live on to this day as the Dark Mechanicus. The forbidden histories of those terrible days show that the destruction wrought by the Traitors on Mars and in a dozen other spheres of war was unparalleled, and have left a stain on the soul of the Omnissiah’s priesthood that has never been cleansed. In the aftermath of Horus' fall, many of the Dark Mechanicus who survived found sanctuary with the various Traitor Legions and in dark corners of the Imperium where their terrible arts have prospered and their undying hatred of the Imperium has festered down through the millennia. The forbidden psycho-sonic weapons of the Emperor's Children, the gene-atrocities of the hated Fabius Bile, the malign perversion of the techno-viral technology used to create the terrible Obliterators -- all have been laid at the Dark Mechanicus’ door. Hellish Forge Worlds bestrode by cyber-daemonic overlords deep within the Eye of Terror ceaselessly churn out the weapons and munitions that arm the Forces of Chaos and fuel the dreaded Black Crusades.
在帝国之外
机械神教对于那些起源于荷鲁斯大叛乱使其，如今被称为黑暗机械神教的叛徒同胞们心怀最为黑暗的怨恨。那些描述过那段艰难时期的历史都已经被他们封禁了，在那个时代，机械神教的叛徒们在火星制造了大量的毁灭，并且在整整十二个世界爆发了空前的战争，并且在机械神的灵魂中留下了永远不会被清洗掉的污点。
The Renegades of the Dark Mechanicus were amongst the first group of those the Imperium branded as "Heretics," and they willingly fled to the Eye of Terror where they could live forever beyond the Imperium's control. But the Eye of Terror was not the only region of space where these Heretics fled to escape the Imperium's wrath. Though the Imperium is vast, its authority stretching from rim to rim of the galaxy, in reality there are vast swaths of space that remain hidden from the Emperor's light. These regions have many names, including but by no means restricted to, the "outlands," "wilderness space," and the "Halo Stars." Within them, whole civilisations can rise, prosper, and fall, without once knowing of the wider Imperium that surrounds them.
The Calixis Sector is one such region of space, lying along the edges of the galaxy, an established bastion of Imperial control amongst the hazy borders. However, it is surrounded by regions of space not under Imperial control. The most prominent is the Koronus Expanse in the Halo Stars, linked to the Calixis Sector by a fluctuating Warp passage. Beyond this passage, Imperial rule ends, and all manner of human and xenos civilisations exist unknown and undiscovered. However, there are other outlands around the Calixis Sector as well, including the Hazeroth Abyss, the fringes of the Drusus Marches, and the nomad space between the Calixis Sector and the bordering
Ixaniad Sector. The Renegades of the Dark Mechanicus tend to be as varied as the regions of space they occupy.
Frequently, Hereteks take the form of extended clans that share their knowledge only through their blood relatives, maintaining a level of understanding about ancient technologies or local Warpspace conditions that astounds outsiders. The Adeptus Mechanicus is particularly sensitive to the existence of such Hereteks (of which those in the Meratech Clans are a particularly egregious example) and press other Imperial authorities to mobilise and capture or kill them as a matter of priority. Individual Renegades sometimes slip into Imperial space to pursue their trade, but they find it a dangerous place to live. If caught and identified, they are tortured and executed by the Inquisition with no hope of mercy.
Dark Forge Worlds
"Silent in the Calixian extent are worlds from which the Omnissiah has withdrawn His blessings. They trail their parent stars like errant children struck dumb and bloodied. Their ruins are profound, their catacombs endless, their savages sorrowful - for these wards of the Imperium of Mankind have paid a great and terrible price for the tech-heresy of their forbearers."
—Warrus the Secondmost, Indexus Astrae Calixis
Irradial Forge on a Dark Forge World
Added by Algrim Whitefang
There are those servants of Chaos who live beyond the normal ken of mortals within a realm not entirely of the material universe and not entirely of the Warp: a Daemon World where the laws of nature and reason have been completely usurped by the whims of the Ruinous Powers. Here daemons roam freely and are constantly nourished by the twisting winds of sorcery as mortals become their playthings with a value only as Chaos Champions or slaves. Daemon Worlds are a sanctuary for the worshippers of Chaos with the means and courage to flee to them. The Inquisition never rests in its efforts to eliminate the devotees of the Dark Gods, but a Daemon World defies even their shadowy reach.
这些混沌之力的仆人们居住在那些远离常人的世界，这些世界的领域既没有完全保留物质宇宙的特性，但同时又没有完全被亚空间之力所控制，这里便是恶魔世界。在这里，自然界的诸多法则定律都已经被那来自亚空间的毁灭性的力量随意篡改的面目全非。在这里，人类仅仅是只有两个身份：混沌冠军或者奴隶，后者仅仅是混沌恶魔们的玩具而已，那扭曲的魔法之风时刻为其物质化的身体提供着能量，让这些恶魔可以在这噩梦般的世界完全随心所欲的做任何事情。对于那些·狡猾多端又勇气过人的混沌崇拜者们来说，恶魔世界对于那些幸运
的逃进这里的人来说是一个理想的避难所。审判庭永不疲倦地致力于消灭那些脆弱的黑暗之神的奴隶们，但是在恶魔世界，就算审判庭已经降临于此，他们仍然敢于尽情的嘲弄这些他们曾经畏惧三分的猎手。
A few Daemon Worlds are dominated by the remnants of the Dark Mechanicus that once followed Horus. These Dark Mechanicus Forge Worlds are wholly given over to daemon-machines and infernal industries, where mills grind flesh and suffering is the currency used to make the insane visions of their nightmarish masters real. Countless millions are enslaved to work in a world-spanning network of labyrinthine forges, churning out an endless supply of weapons and armaments for the Traitor Legions' Long War against the Imperium. The masters of these Dark Mechanicus Forge Worlds, most now half-daemonic machines themselves, have long since left the shreds of their humanity behind and are beholden to none -- be they mortal or Chaos God. They sell or barter their unholy inventions and arms to the highest bidder, be they warlord, demagogue, Chaos Sorcerer or Daemon Prince without favour, and their coin of exchange is always the same -- new raw materials -- the flesh and souls of slaves for the Dark Forge World's unquenchable hunger.
有一些恶魔世界被曾经跟随着荷鲁斯的黑暗机械神教掌控着。在这些黑暗机械神教的铸造世界，恶魔机械和地狱般的工厂随处可见，奴隶们的被有条不紊的撕成了碎片，他们的痛苦的呻吟甚至响彻天空，而这一切的疯狂行径，都只是为了让他们那黑暗而邪恶的主人降临这个世界而已。数以百万计的人被迫在这个被无数像蛛网一样层层叠叠的工厂包裹住的世界里工作，不断的为那些致力于对抗帝国的叛徒军团们提供着军备和武器。黑暗机械神教的铸造世界的主人，身体多半都是由半机械式恶魔组成，他们原本的凡人肉身早已在他们那令人恐惧的身体改造或者混沌之神赐予的变异而被舍弃，沦为了一堆无人问津的碎肉。他们把他们那些邪恶的发明和武器卖给那些出价最高的人，又或者那这些发明和他们做交易，这些客人也许是混沌领主，叛乱煽动者，混沌巫师，甚至是那些冷酷恶魔亲王，他们用于交易的货币永远是一成不变的：新鲜的血肉和奴隶的灵魂，这些永远无法满足黑暗铸造世界食欲的食物。These fallen Forges Worlds are enclosed in a perpetual blanket of dark grey clouds. Below the clouds is the source: stack after stack of vertical pipes rising even to the lower cloud decks and billowing thick smoke into the acrid air. No sign of the actual surface can be seen, for all is covered with layered factories, which are burning, creating, and forging night and day (though there are few who can tell the two apart given the atmosphere). Robed figures wander without wasteful delay in their tasks, exposed cloth allowing glimpses of artful mechadendrites or metallic limbs. Closer examination reveals more of the real nature of these dark worlds. Unhidden, clear to even a casual glance, is the mark of the Ruinous Powers. Runes and glyphs of unholy meaning litter walls, declaring patronage to the Dark Gods. Even the Hereteks carry these marks upon their branded flesh, their allegiance to the Machine God burned away from their synapses. The forges themselves burn with the terrible smells of burning blood and scorched flesh, fed by souls as well as Promethium and low-grav alloys of steel. The blessed Cog Mechanicum is gone, instead there are leering metal skulls in a circlet of spiked teeth. But the worst thing is that there is no proper, logical structure to the world. Forge cities rise in random fashion, lurching towards the skies and deep into the planetary crust at the whims of their Dark Magos lords.
这些堕落的铸造世界被一股浓厚的灰黑色云雾永远的封闭着。如果你可以深入到云雾之下，你就可以看到这些云雾的源头：无数层层叠叠堆在一起的巨大烟囱，正是这些高耸入云的烟囱不知疲倦的排放着气味儿辛辣的灰黑色烟雾。地面上覆盖着密集的工厂，这些工厂夜以继日的生产着、创造着、铸造着。黑暗机械神教的人好不拖延的为这他们的生产计划四处奔走，
他们那钢铁之躯和机械义肢在身上破旧的长袍掩盖下隐隐若现。就算是不经意的一瞥，都可以轻易地看到他们身上的混沌印记。那大不敬的如尼文和符号宣告了他们黑暗之神信徒的身份。甚至就连纳西异端都会在自己的钢铁之躯上留下这些黑暗的印记，在他们的神经突触里，原本对机械之神的虔诚信仰早已被腐蚀殆尽。工厂自身依靠沸腾的血液和烧焦了的尸体运转，无数灵魂如钷和钢铁一般喂养着他自身。那原本愉悦的齿轮不见了，取而代之的是那些被磨制成头骨状的空洞的布满尖刺的金属铁环。但最恐怖的是这里甚至没有稳定的地形地貌。仅仅因为黑暗机械领主的一念妄想，无数工厂便会瞬间改变形态，或者直耸云端，又或者深深嵌入星球的地壳里。
Tech-Heresy
Hereteks
A Heretek and his willing Dark Adept
Added by Algrim Whitefang
Because of the nature of their split from the Imperium, these fallen Tech-priests lack a central authority or consistent belief s tructure. As a result, their reigning ideology is far more diverse than that of their former brethren within the Adeptus Mechanicus. Hereteks may shun the Omnissiah entirely as a false god, worship him as an extension of Chaos, or simply ignore their former beliefs to focus solely on their research.
因为和帝国相互决裂，这些堕落的技术牧师们缺少权威和完整的可信赖的信仰结构。这导致了统治着他们自己的信仰和他们的那些忠诚的同胞们有很大不同。异端们也许会把机械神完全当做一个伪神，又或者把其尊为混沌的延伸，又或者简单的忽视掉他们曾经的信仰，以便他们能专注于他们的研究。
Even among the unusually open-minded Explorators of the Adeptus Mechanicus, there are subjects which must be avoided at all cost to remain true to the dictates of the Machine God. A Heretek enthusiastically violates all such strictures, exploring xenos technology, archeotech from the Dark Age of Technology, and dabbling in all facets of technology related to the manipulation of the Warp. He may even be bold enough to develop entirely new technologies, combining components in forbidden manners to produce the ultimate tech-heresy for many in the Cult
Mechanicus -- innovation. He may go as far as sharing the tools of his trade and the secrets of its ways with those who have not been trained in the mysteries of the Machine God. A Heretek actively seeks out new technology and continuously experiments with new techniques in ways that were once forbidden. He no longer believes that any information, experiment, or device can be ignored. Rather, he deliberately focuses on those technologies that the Mechanicus' teachings once taught him to avoid, with a particular interest in developing Warp-based technologies.
机械神有着许多教规，所有机械神教的成员都必须遵守，甚至对于思想最为开放的探索者而言，有些知识也是必须被不计代价的封印住的。然而，异端们热衷于违背这些规定，他们会探索异形科技，钻研黑暗年代的技术，然后往他们的成果里灌注十足的亚空间之力。他也许甚至会胆大到一些全新的技术，或者用一些被禁止的原料合成某些全新的物质，为那黑暗机械神教诸多源自科技异端的技术创新添砖加瓦。他也许还会把他们的工具和各种秘密知识交易给那些从未接触过机械之神的人。异端们会积极探寻那些新的技术，并且持续不断的为那些曾经被禁止的科技做各种实验。他将不会再相信任何信息、实验和装置可以被忽视。当然，他们也会故意去探索那些机械神教曾经命令禁止他们接触的知识，而且他们尤其喜欢开发亚空间技术。
Few inquir ies concerning technology are beyond a Heretek’s interest, though inevitably many of his inventions and much of his research tend towards the development of tools of destruction. As he builds these weapons for his fellow devotees, the Heretek has also invariably rebuilt his own body. It may be that he has few organic components left and those that remain are often marked by the mutational "gifts" of the Chaos Gods. His cybernetic and sometimes biological enhancements not only improve his technological acumen, they also grant him additional abilities in combat. A Heretek is likely to be much physically hardier as well as much more powerfully armed than even the highest-ranking Magos of the Mechanicus.
尽管他们的许多发明和研究不可避免的会制造出大量破坏力极强的武器，但异端们的兴趣很少会超过探寻知识的范畴。当他和自己的信徒同伴共同制造武器时，他们也在不断的改造着自己的身体。这意味着他们身体中除了少数织器官尚存之外，其他的几乎都是各种来自混沌之神那突变的馈赠。通常，他们的思维控制改造和生化强化不仅仅提供了他们的智慧，而且还赐予了他们许多额外的技能。一个普通的异端有着远比那些高阶机械神教的机械牧师甚至总监们更强大的体魄和更强力的火力。
Some in the Imperium think of those referred to as Hereteks to be a unified force, like the Adeptus Mechanicus itself. This is not the case, as there is no galaxy-spanning organisation dedicated to tech-heresy, including the Dark Mechanicus, which is often treated erroneously as being a monolithic entity like the Adepta from which it schismed. Rather, there are countless fiefdoms and Dark Forge Worlds, each ruled by a fallen Magos (or several Magi) powerful enough to dominate cadres of their fellows and enslave Mechanicus thralls and servants. Just like the warbands of the Traitor Legions and almost all the other servants of Chaos, the corrupt Tech-priests war amongst each other, or prefer to exist aloof from their fellow servants of the Dark Gods.
许多帝国学者认为异端们也机械神教一样组成了一个统一的力量。然而这不是事实，事实上，银河系里还没有任何一个成型的机械异端组织。而经常被认为是一个堕落整体的黑暗机械神教，他们其实早已分裂为了无数或大或小的学派。当然，宇宙中也存在无数的封地和黑暗铸造世界，它们由那些强大的堕落技术总监所统治，这些人有着足够强大的力量来引领他的追随者和奴役手下的奴仆们。就像那些叛乱军团的战团——甚至所有的混沌的仆从一样，腐败堕落的技术牧师们相互之间仇视甚至互相倾轧，又或者彼此保持距离。
Hereteks often follow a path of constant innovation. A Heretek may be capable of drawing power
for his devices directly from the Warp and controlling them with summoned Warp entities. He might dabble with concepts of artificial intelligence, memory transference, or even attempt to capture and preserve the souls of sentient beings within his devices through his arcane knowledge of the Warp. Many of these inventors mindlessly hew to the idea that the new and the novel is always preferable for accomplishing a given end as established techniques. For them, the joy of a new idea or the recovery of an unknown bit of knowledge is a triumph, even if that idea has already been made obsolete. With each new advancement, his passion for further such successes grow as does his appetite for ever more knowledge, regardless of its source.
异端通常坚持着一条恒久不变的创新之路：他们能够创造出可以有效吸收亚空间能量并且控制这股能量使其物质化的设备；他们能够涉足到人工智能的开发，记忆转移，甚至利用他们那神秘的知识来把人的灵魂储存在他们的设备中。他们的许多发明都坚持着他们以往的思路：这些新奇的创新永远要比墨守成规的科技要好得多。对于他们来说，想到一个新点子或成功复原一个被遗忘的知识都是一场胜利，即使这些知识早就已经被淘汰了。对于每次进步，都会助长他们对未来自己大获成功所报的期望和获得无尽的知识的渴望。
The Heretek is often driven by his hunger for knowledge and is quite willing to use the Ruinous Powers and their daemonic servants as a source. At other times, he seeks out xenos technology and archeotech. He may even coordinate raids upon Imperial strongholds for the sole purpose of recovering their records of where such devices can be f ound. In many Hereteks’ minds, there is no greater purpose in life than serving the cause of the advancement of technology and knowledge. Any sacrifice is justified in the pursuit of this end.
异端们经常被他们对知识的渴望所驱动着，而且他们相当愿意利用混沌之力和自己的恶魔仆从来作为自己的研究目标。在其他时候，他们会致力于探寻异形的科技和造物。他们甚至会为了探寻那些有可能存在的失落的设备而潜入到帝国的领土之中。在许多异端眼里，世上绝对没有比探寻先进的技术和知识更伟大的目标了。在他们看来，为了达成目的，任何牺牲都是值得的。
It is relatively rare for a Heretek to be raised by the Dark Gods as a Daemon Prince. All too often, Hereteks end up as a component of one of their own inventions, with too little left of the original body or its personality to even receive such a reward from the Dark Gods. However, those few who are granted this gift continue to spread their Chaos-tainted technology across the galaxy.
很少有异端会被黑暗之神提升为恶魔亲王。通常，异端们最终的命运都是成为他们发明的一部分，黑暗之神的慷慨馈赠往往让他们仅仅能保留自身肉体和精神人格的一小部分。然而，这些得到了真神馈赠的异端还会继续在银河中散布他们那被恶魔玷污了的技术。

The strictures and dictates of the Adeptus Mechanicus are many and harsh; they form a labyrinthine and iron-clad code that defines every aspect of the lives of the Omnissiah’s priesthood, including their outlook and practices. Their purpose is as simple as it is unwavering: to control and regulate knowledge and its use, stifle blasphemous innovation, and above all maintain the Machine Cult’s stranglehold on the Imperium’s technology. To become a Heretek Savant by that phrase’s purest definition is to abandon this code, at least in the Tech-priest’s private thoughts. It is to embrace individual innovation, experimentation, and free will and stray from the path ordained by the teachings of the Archmagos Doctrinal. For a Tech-priest to do so is every bit as rare, as radical and heretical as a Confessor of the Adeptus Ministorum straying from the Imperial Creed, and the consequences for those that do stray, should their deviation be discovered, is every bit as harsh. Although rather than a pyre, Heretek Savants can look forward to having their implants ripped bodily from them while alive and whatever meat that remains useful recycled into Servitor components to pay for their sins against the Machine God.
众所周知，机械神教有着诸多的禁令和规定；这些禁令和规定记录在一部有着金属封皮的复杂的圣典里，这本圣典为一个机械神教的侍僧在生活中所应该遵守的方方面面都做了定义，其中自然包括他们看问题的观点和研究芳方法。他们的目的就是那么简单，然而却是坚定不移的：控制和规定对知识的运用，扼杀对神明大不敬的创新，以此来保证机械神教对帝国科
技的强大束缚。而一个异端学者会放弃圣典的教诲，或这陷入他们内心深处的想法：拥抱自己对于发明、实验和自由的渴望，从而和机械神教的教规渐行渐远。对于技术牧师们来说，敢于这么做的只是少数，因为这种激进而又异端的做法会使得他们成为严重违背机械神教所坚守的帝国教义的叛教者。而成为迷途的叛教者的后果是很严重的，如果他们因为任何微小的过世而被发现，酷刑便会接踵而至。尽管他们不会上火刑架，但异端学者们的血肉会被活生生的撕成碎片，那些可用的组织会成为奴工的组件，以此来作为他们对抗机械神意志的惩罚。
Heretek Savants can come to their Renegade position for a variety of reasons, the most common of which includes the simple exercising of their free will away from the structured environments of the Machine God’s domains. Such tech-heresy is particularly prevalent among those Tech-priests who serve in the Explorator cadres or are assigned to the Inquisition’s s ervice. The consequences of self-reliance and forced adaptation in the field away from help can affirm the Omnissian faith for some Tech-priests, but for others it can lead them increasingly to question and to innovate in order to overcome adversity and seek their own answers. Others come to tech-heresy for darker reasons, such as personal ambition and the obsessive quest for power and knowledge which will allow them no respite and lead them to increasingly rail against the narrow confines of the Cult Mecha nicus’ approved technologies and patterns. Regardless, the path of tech-heresy is a dangerous one and as perilous in its own way as tampering with the powers of the Warp. Exposure to the artefacts and lore of the alien and the sins of humanity’s ancient pa st can be every bit as corrupting, both for the body and the soul.
异端学者们叛变的原因很多，最普遍的理由便是对他们的机械之神的网域空间组成结构进行调整以使其具有自我意识的简单尝试。这种行为在那些探险舰队和为审判庭服务的机械牧师之中尤其普遍。那些自信和处于陷阱之中的人会坦然面对任何自己的命运，从而证明自己对机械之神的信仰，然而另一些人却会因为自己那不断增长的疑问而迷茫，从而尝试着凭借创新去克服困境并且寻求答案。除了这些人之外，还有一些异端因为一些更加黑暗的原因而堕落，比如说自己的野心，又或者执迷不悟的沉浸在追寻权力和知识的旅途中，这条漫长的旅途会让他们摆脱束缚，并且为他们对抗机械神教对科学研究的桎梏增添力量。尽管如此，叛徒的道路仍然险象环生，而且因为他们必然会涉及到亚空间之力，使得他们更加命途多舛。这些不断探索者异形造物和古老而邪恶的人类造物的异端终将会被腐蚀，无论是他们的身体还是他们的灵魂，都难逃此劫。
Secrecy is as vital for Heretek Savants as for any other whose knowledge and actions would condemn them in the eyes of the Imperium because discovery will lead to sanction and destruction by the power of the Cult Mechanicus. This usually leads to a slow distancing of themselves from their fellows in the Mechanicus and a deep-seated paranoia of discovery. As a result, Heretek Savants rapidly gain a merciless and suspicious streak centred on their own self-preservation, increasingly favour implanting (often heretical) weaponry and defensive systems into their own bodies, and will stop at nothing in the service of the Quest for Knowledge. Becoming a Heretek Savant is a matter of choice and opportunity rather than induction into a secret cult or service to a master, and all that is needed is for the Tech-priest to turn his back on the sacred doctrines of the Omnissiah and have the will and capability to do so. From this point on, they risk censure and destruction by the Cult Mechanicus if their heresies are discovered, and while there is nothing to stop them furthering their rank and position in the Adeptus Mechanicus, they are forever more false of heart and must remain eternally vigilant.
对于异端学者们来说，保守他们所学到的知识和所作所为的秘密，不被帝国的惩戒之眼所察
觉到是十分重要的，因为一旦走漏一点风声，都会使他们陷入机械神教那严厉的制裁和毁灭性的强权手中。这使得他们不得不和那些机械神教的信徒们保持距离，而且陷入一种根深蒂固的唯恐自己被别人发现的偏执狂思维。结果，异端学者们自己迅速变得残忍而又多疑，并且对于在自己身上安装各种异端式的武器和自卫系统的兴趣愈发浓厚，最后，他们会踏上永远追寻知识的旅程。成为一个异端学者需要的不是那些诡秘的仪式或者一个主人，而是和选择的时机密切相关，这意味着他们自己需要有反对机械神的决心和能力。因此，一旦他们的异端行为暴露，他们便自然会招致机械神教的非难和毒手。尽管他们在机械神教的地位会越来越高，但他们那虚假的内心中那永恒的警惕感却会拥有保留下来。
Arch-Hereteks
"Those fools and their talk of spirits and rites; technology is cause and consequence, mechanism and effect, and should not be so restrained and mishandled as those red-robed simpletons would believe."
—Rephenesti Korvane, Heretek
大异端
“这群蠢货，还有他们一天到晚喋喋不休谈论的所谓精神和仪式；只有技术才是一切机械和原理的源头和终结，我绝对不会让这群红袍笨蛋凭借他们那肤浅的信仰用那样粗暴的方式来约束这些宝贵的技术！”
——Rephenesti Korvane，异端
An Arch-Heretek of the Dark Mechanicus
Added by Algrim Whitefang
Within the Eye of Terror and many parts of the Halo Stars there exist those who defy the dictates and traditions of the Adeptus Mechanicus, choosing to experiment with technology and try to
understand how it works without the sanction of the Cult Mechanicus. Condemned as techno-heretics, or Hereteks, these individuals are hunted for their blasphemous acts, and shown no mercy should they be caught. Many of these individuals flock together for mutual protection and the benefits of their illicit studies. Such groups often find that the employ of pirates and smugglers grants them the freedom and mobility they need to survive, and the opportunity to work with advanced machinery beyond the gaze of the Mechanicus.
在恐惧之眼内部和许多光环星系里，存在着那些敢于挑战机械神教传统的人，他们选择了不断地去实验，以此来理解科技的运行原理，当然，前提是在没有机械神教的人监视的情况下。这些叛变分子被称为科技-异端或者干脆就被称为异端，因为其亵渎神明的行为，机械神教的爪牙将会不知疲倦地猎捕这些异端，一旦异端落网，他们就会知道什么叫绝不怜悯。因此，许多异端聚集在一起，宣誓为了继续他们那大不敬的研究而互相保护。这样的一个异端组织往往会雇佣一些海盗或走私者来作为其逃命所必须的工具，同时也是保证他们可以在不被机械神教控制的星系继续研究高科技机械的工具。
Over the years, certain Hereteks have arisen in the Koronus Expanse accompanied by tales of infamous actions. Their sinister reputations have generated a collective moniker amongst the low-born populaces from Footfall to Damaris. Now in the Expanse a fallen Tech-priest of sufficient skill and infamy is likely to be labelled an Arch-Heretek by the populace. Though there are no set criteria for what makes an Arch-Heretek, they are often a match for true Tech-priests and Explorators in terms of their understanding and proficiency with machines. The greatest of them were once Tech-priests themselves, now turned from the worship of the Omnissiah. Arch-Hereteks are highly valued by void-faring criminals, both for their expertise in all things technical and their unique abilities.
多年以来，在做了一系列声名狼藉的勾当之后，某些异端已经在孔恩思区域崛起了。他们声名狼藉的名声为他们在从脚印星到得莫里斯星之间大量的平民中“赢得”了无数的称呼。现在，在这片区域，一个技术过人而又暴行累累的堕落的技术牧师被大众称为大异端。尽管大异端的没有一个标准的评价定义
Hereteks and the Dark Forge Worlds
While some Hereteks of the Dark Mechanicus serve the Ruinous Powers alongside the Traitor Legions others control Dark Forge Worlds dedicated to tech-heresy in the name of Chaos Undivided. Most of these hellish factory worlds were originally Imperial Forge Worlds that fell to the Forces of Chaos. However, some like the world of Xana II, were created anew by the Dark Mechanicum deep within the Eye of Terror and other territories controlled by Chaos like the Maelstrom Warp rift. From these heavily fortified bases Hereteks can pursue their own dark goals, which they finance with slaves, souls and raw materiel gained from various different Chaos Lords in return for the Dark Mechanicus' weapons, technological assistance and the support of their Traitor Titan Legions on the battlefield. The Forge Masters of a Dark Forge World have usually left all vestiges of their humanity behind and exist as unholy amalgamations of heretical technology and daemonic energy.
Notable Hereteks
The traitorous Fabricator-General of Mars, Kelbor-Hal
Added by Algrim Whitefang
Kelbor-Hal - Kelbor-Hal was once the Fabricator-General of Mars, the political leader of the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Magos Mechanicus of the Cult Mechanicus during the latter days of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium. When the Horus Heresy began, he willingly swore allegiance to the service of the Warmaster Horus and the Forces of Chaos, becoming the first leader of the Dark Mechanicus. In the name of his new allegiance, Kelbor-Hal would unleash the terrible civil war known as the Schism of Mars upon the Red Planet, the sacred heart of the faith of the Machine God. The ultimate fate of the traitorous Fabricator-General Kelbor-Hal is not recorded in Imperial records.
Master Adept Lukas Chrom
Added by Algrim Whitefang
Lukas Chrom - Adept Lukas Chrom was the Forge Master of the mightiest forge temple of Mondus Gamma on Mars during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras. He pledged his support for the Warmaster Horus alongside his master, the Fabricator-General Kelbor-Hal. Chrom was quite large, his wide-shouldered frame swathed in a deep crimson robe that did little to
