hh5节译：老百人队

Amongst the very first irregular forces raised by the Imperium, and considered the forerunners of the Imperialis Militia, were those of Old Earth who served alongside the Emperor and his Thunder Warrior regiments in the long Terran Unification Wars, or in some cases contested them in battle. When these wars finally ended and the Great Crusade began, the surviving irregulars and militias were integrated into the newly constituted Imperial Army, forming the core of the Imperialis Auxilia, and in time they came to be known as the "Old One Hundred”.

在漫长的统一战争当中，那些伴随帝皇和雷霆战士们作战的旧地球凡人军队是人类帝国组建的最早一批非正规部队，他们被认为是帝国民兵部队的先驱，而在某些情况下，此类凡人部队也会与帝皇敌对。等到统一战争最终结束，大远征开始时，这些幸存下来的非正规军和民兵被编入新组建的帝国军，他们成为了帝国辅助军的核心，从此，他们开始被称为“老百人队”。

These much-storied regiments, including the Geno Chiliads, the ConFed Gun Brotherhoods and the Thorosian Vbltigeurs, gained numerous battle honours as the Great Crusade pressed ever outwards, and many of the Old One Hundred were in time granted settlement rights on worlds they had conquered, which would eventually produce a second generation of militia regiments from whose ranks the best would be conscripted into the Imperial Army to fight in the Emperor's ongoing wars. Some regiments however, such as the Lucifer Blacks and the Ouranti Draks, were, for a variety of reasons, judged in some way not deserving of such rights and were tasked with a ceaseless crusade across the stars. These itinerant armies strove to replace their losses by press-ganging from worlds they liberated in an ad hoc manner, transforming over time often into a pale shadow of their former strength. Others, whose service was ultimately indentured rather than given freely, were denied even this mode of recruitment. Such regiments effectively died a slow death of a thousand cuts on a hundred battlefields, and by the time of the Horus Heresy were no more than legends.

这些久负盛名的部队包括基诺千连团、康非德枪炮兄弟会和索瑞希亚腾跃兵，他们获得了众多的战斗荣誉，而随着大远征不断向外推进，许多老百人队及时获得了在他们征服的世界上定居的权力，而这最终将产生第二代民兵团，帝国会从中选拔最好的民兵加入帝国军来参加帝皇正在进行的战争。但是有些团，比如路西法黑卫和奥兰德龙骑兵则由于各种原因被以某种方式判定不应该享有这些权力，他们要在群星间进行不断的远征。这些流动的部队通过从那些他们以特殊方式解放的世界上强征壮丁的方式来努力补充自己的损失。随着时间的推移，他们往往会变成他们以前力量的苍白阴影。而其他那些签订服役契约而非主动服役的民兵团甚至都不被允许以强征壮丁的方式征召新兵。实际上这些团就是在一百个战场上遭受了一千次损失，他们在以这种方式慢慢死去，等到荷鲁斯叛乱时，他们已经仅仅是传说了。
