Daemonships are vessels that, one way or another, have had their crew replaced by bound Daemons.

恶魔舰船是指以某种方式用绑定恶魔来替换掉船员的星舰。

Overview综述

Tales of Daemonships have been around since the very start of the Imperium. Usually, Daemonships are little more than specters, appearing to spread terror only to disappear with no evidence of their existence. However, there are stories of Daemonships following victims out of the Warp, leading to theories - albeit with little, if any evidence - that they can only enter realspace by following in another vessel's wake. Further, there are rumours even among Navigators about Daemonships, who perceive them as both convocations of Daemons and as twisted parodies of regular ships.

从帝国创立之初，恶魔舰船的传说就存在于各处。通常而言，恶魔舰船仅仅是幽灵船，他们出现后会散布恐怖，之后就会消失，不会留下任何表明它们存在的证据。但是，也存在恶魔舰船跟随受害者离开亚空间的故事，这也导致了一种理论的出现：尽管几乎没有证据，但（有人相信）恶魔舰船只能通过跟随其他舰船航迹进入现实宇宙。另外，有谣言称哪怕恶魔舰船上也存在导航员，这些谣言认为哪些导航者们即是恶魔的召唤集会，也是常规舰船（导航者）的扭曲拙劣的模仿。

There are many ways a Daemonship might be created. Some theories suggest that they are created when a ship's crew sacrifices itself to Chaos, trading eternal daemonic servitude for the hope of immortality. Others argue that Daemonships come about from the damnation of crews that commit an indescribably horrific act. Others still claim that Daemonships are simply vessels that have been lost in the Warp for millennia until their crew has been replaced by daemons. The closest thing to a confirmed method of Daemonship creation comes from interrogation of captured renegade Navigators, who have suggested that pacts can be made with daemons to bind them to a ship, though the exact method of doing so is forbidden knowledge. Should such a reliable method exist, it is a good bet that Abaddon's sorcerers would use it to increase the power of his fleets in a time of war.

创造恶魔舰船的方式众多。有些理论认为船上的所有船员向混沌牺牲自己，用让恶魔永远奴役自己为代价来实现不朽的愿望之后，恶魔舰船就会产生。其他人则争辩称恶魔舰船来自船员们的诅咒，这些船员犯下了一个难以形容的可怕暴行。另有人依旧声称恶魔舰船只是迷失在亚空间中数千年的普通星舰，只不过船员已经被恶魔所替代。关于恶魔舰船的制造，有接近的可信任的方法来自对于一名被俘的变节导航员的审讯报告，他声称建造恶魔舰船需要把恶魔与星舰进行绑定，而进行此过程的手段是一种禁忌的知识。倘若这样一种稳定可靠的（建造）方式存在的话，那么我们最好相信阿巴顿的巫师们也会在战争期间用这种手段提升舰队战斗力。
