A Founding is an occasion when several new Space Marine Chapters are created. A Founding does not occur at any set interval, but is ordered when it is deemed necessary. As Chapters are occasionally completely destroyed, Foundings are often meant to ensure that a thousand Chapters exist at a time. This also means that many Chapters are created during unstable times of strife and rebellions that have caused many Chapters to lose the knowledge of their Founding or even the millennia of that Founding. This is especially common to Chapters created before or during Age of Apostasy as during the Reign of Blood many Imperial records were shamelessly destroyed forever。

星際戰(zhàn)士建軍指的是多個(gè)星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團(tuán)被創(chuàng)造的情況。建軍沒有固定的時(shí)間間隔，只要需要時(shí)就會(huì)下令進(jìn)行。因?yàn)樾请H戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團(tuán)偶爾會(huì)被徹底摧毀（機(jī)仆：弱小，可憐又無助的動(dòng)力甲兄貴們…），建軍經(jīng)常意味著在一段時(shí)間內(nèi)確保有一千個(gè)星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團(tuán)存在。這也意味這很多戰(zhàn)團(tuán)是在發(fā)生沖突和反叛的動(dòng)蕩歲月中，這種現(xiàn)象導(dǎo)致很多戰(zhàn)團(tuán)遺失了關(guān)于其組建的知識(shí)，甚至連戰(zhàn)團(tuán)組建于哪一個(gè)千年都未知。這對(duì)于那些創(chuàng)建于叛教時(shí)代之前或之中的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)而言尤為常見，因?yàn)樵诜兜先麪柕难冉y(tǒng)治下，帝國的很多記錄都被無恥地銷毀了。

The exceptions to Foundings were the creation of the Grey Knights who were created before the Second Founding by order of the Emperor Himself during the Horus Heresy，and the Sons of Medusa, who were ratified by unprecedented edict in 011M37.

建軍的例外情況是灰騎士戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的創(chuàng)建，根據(jù)帝皇的命令，灰騎士在第二次建軍之前創(chuàng)建于大叛亂時(shí)期；另一個(gè)是美杜莎之子戰(zhàn)團(tuán)，他們建立了011M37，他們的建立得到了高領(lǐng)主議會(huì)史無前例的法令批準(zhǔn)。（機(jī)仆：此事請(qǐng)各位參閱考爾大賢者關(guān)于莫雷分裂的專欄https://www.bilibili.com/read/cv5698987）

History歷史

At the beginning of the Great Crusade, the Emperor created the Space Marine Legions after He had lost His twenty sons. Every Legion was made at least 10,000 Marines strong bolstered by the very best equipment and armoury the Imperium could offer and packed up with unflinching loyalty to the God Emperor of Mankind. This event, the creation of the Legions, is known as the First Founding.

在大遠(yuǎn)征開始時(shí)，帝皇在失去了二十名原體之后創(chuàng)建了星際戰(zhàn)士軍團(tuán)。每個(gè)軍團(tuán)至少由一萬名星際戰(zhàn)士組成（機(jī)仆：最早gw的設(shè)定里面都是萬人規(guī)模的軍團(tuán)團(tuán)，結(jié)果hh項(xiàng)目開工之后才發(fā)現(xiàn)黑圖書館發(fā)便當(dāng)速度比餓了么還快，開了個(gè)會(huì)之后gw果斷決定過軍團(tuán)人數(shù)加個(gè)零…），而且用帝國所能提供的最優(yōu)秀的武器裝備支援他們，用對(duì)于帝皇堅(jiān)定的忠誠武裝他們。這次對(duì)于星際戰(zhàn)士軍團(tuán)的創(chuàng)建，就是初次建軍。

Codex Astartes阿斯塔特圣典

Following the Horus Heresy's aftermath the Primarch of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman, wrote a mighty tome of wisdom that included strategies and tactics for the Space Marines. The Codex Astartes's, as the tome was known, most lasting and significant decree was that those then existing Space Marine Legions were to be divided into Chapters of 1,000 Marines strong. This was to ensure that no such rebellion as Horus Heresy was to happen again because no one man could command such a terrifying force as 10,000 Space Marines again. It also made Space Marine forces more flexible and tactical on their own as every Chapter was fully independent and self-sufficient fighting force.?After the remaining loyalist Primarchs accepted the Codex Astartes, the Legions were divided into Chapters. One Chapter of each parent Legion maintained the original colours, symbol, and name of the Legion, and they became known as the Chapters of the First Founding. The other Chapters took their own insignia and heraldry and are known as the Chapters of the Second Founding.

在大叛亂結(jié)束之后，極限戰(zhàn)士原體羅伯特 基里曼撰寫了包含星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)略戰(zhàn)術(shù)的偉大著作——阿斯塔特圣典，其中最持久和最重要的法令就是將九個(gè)當(dāng)時(shí)仍然存在的阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)拆分為多個(gè)兵力為一千阿斯塔特的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)。這確保了如同荷魯斯叛亂一樣的大規(guī)模星際戰(zhàn)士反叛不會(huì)再次發(fā)生，因?yàn)闆]有人能夠再次指揮一萬名星際戰(zhàn)士這樣恐怖的部隊(duì)。這也讓星際戰(zhàn)士部隊(duì)自身擁有了更強(qiáng)的靈活性與戰(zhàn)術(shù)性，每個(gè)戰(zhàn)團(tuán)都是完全獨(dú)立且自給自足的部隊(duì)。9個(gè)保留了母本軍團(tuán)原有的顏色，符號(hào)和名稱的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)被稱為初創(chuàng)戰(zhàn)團(tuán)。而那些佩戴上了自己的徽章和紋章的其他戰(zhàn)團(tuán)，則被成為第二次建軍戰(zhàn)團(tuán)。

Subsequent foundings后續(xù)創(chuàng)建

It is believed that approximately one thousand Space Marine Chapters exist at all times though extremely violent warzones, attrition, space phenomena and other factors change the number of Chapters so radically no one can track them accurately. Over half (60%) of all Space Marine Chapters today are descendants of Ultramarines genestocks.

人們相信雖然極端暴力的戰(zhàn)區(qū)、摩擦、空間現(xiàn)象和其他因素會(huì)讓星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的數(shù)量發(fā)生徹底的變化（機(jī)仆：說白了就是有些戰(zhàn)團(tuán)被滅了），但星際戰(zhàn)士的戰(zhàn)團(tuán)總數(shù)永遠(yuǎn)維持在大約為一千個(gè)左右。如今超過半數(shù)的星際戰(zhàn)士戰(zhàn)團(tuán)（百分之六十）是極限戰(zhàn)士的基因子嗣。

Creation of new Chapters創(chuàng)建新戰(zhàn)團(tuán)

The creation of new Chapters can only be ordered by the High Lords of Terra，and it is said ultimately only from the Emperor Himself, although the actual process of creation is performed by the Adeptus Mechanicus.

只有泰拉高領(lǐng)主議會(huì)能夠下令組建新戰(zhàn)團(tuán)，據(jù)說這是源自帝皇本人的旨意（機(jī)仆：其實(shí)根據(jù)六版codex說法，是基里曼賦予了高領(lǐng)主議會(huì)這項(xiàng)權(quán)力），但具體的創(chuàng)建過程要由機(jī)械修會(huì)執(zhí)行。

The gene-seed used to create new Chapters is stored by the Adeptus Mechanicus, originally tithed from existing Chapters. New progenoids are created using human test-slaves.?Although these test-slaves conscious and aware of their "existence", they are completely immobile, remaining in static experimental capsules and serving as little more than hosts for the zygotes growing and progenoid organs creating.A single slave is used in this way to create two progenoids, which are then implanted into two more slaves, and so on. One thousand sets of organs - the notional number of Marines in a Chapter - are created, after more than half a century of constant reproduction. Some Chapters' geneseed is mutated in a way the zygotes grow at a faster rate and therefore are able to recover more rapidly from heavy losses of Marines within their Chapter.

創(chuàng)建新戰(zhàn)團(tuán)使用的基因種子由機(jī)械修會(huì)儲(chǔ)存，來源是征收自現(xiàn)存戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的基因種子什一稅。機(jī)械修會(huì)利用凡人測(cè)試奴隸培育出新的基因存收腺體，雖然奴隸們是清醒的而且能意識(shí)到自己的“存在”，但他們完全無法移動(dòng)，被關(guān)在靜止的實(shí)驗(yàn)艙中，他們僅僅是合子(機(jī)仆：這個(gè)詞的本意應(yīng)該是受精卵，不過結(jié)合上下文來看，指的就是基因種子)生長(zhǎng)與培育基因存收腺體器官的宿主。用這種方法一個(gè)奴隸可以培育出兩個(gè)基因存收腺體，之后再植入另外兩個(gè)奴隸體內(nèi)，并且依次進(jìn)行。一千套器官——理論上一個(gè)戰(zhàn)團(tuán)星際戰(zhàn)士的數(shù)量——會(huì)被培育出來，這需要超過半個(gè)世紀(jì)不間斷的再生產(chǎn)。某些戰(zhàn)團(tuán)的基因種子發(fā)生了某種程度的變異，導(dǎo)致合子的增長(zhǎng)速率更快，這些戰(zhàn)團(tuán)可以更為快速地從嚴(yán)重的兵力損失中恢復(fù)過來。
