A space marine chapter whose name has long been a byword for devastation and wrath, the story of the Fire Hawks Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes is a shadowed one, and this infamous Chapter's final fate remains uncertain and darkly rumoured to this present time. In their history they have seen great victories, bloody deeds and terrible reversals, being one of only a very few Chapters on record known to have survived the destruction of two separate home worlds, and have been brought to the brink of extinction many times, only to arise again from the ashes.
长期以来，火鹰战团都是毁灭与怒火的代名词，他们的故事被阴影所笼罩。这个恶名昭著战团的最终命运至今处于不确定中，相关的黑暗谣言也仍在流传。他们在自己的历史中见证过众大的胜利、血腥的事迹与恐怖的由胜转败；只有极少数战团被记录从两颗不同母星的毁灭中幸存下来，而他们就是其中之一；他们曾数次被逼到灭绝的边缘，但又再次从灰烬中崛起。
Noted in several classified sources as belonging to the 21st Founding (the so-called Cursed Founding) of M36, the Chapter itself has always claimed antecedence from the renowned Ultramarines gene-seed, although certain defects and variations in the samples held in the archives of the Adeptus Terra speak against this, and the Lords of Macragge have never publicly acknowledged kinship. Regardless of their actual direct lineage, in organisation and structure the Fire Hawks have always only broadly adhered to the Codex Astartes, and have sometimes come under deep suspicion by other Chapters who obey its tenets absolutely. The Fire Hawks have also long been notably strict adherents of the Cult Imperialis, believing the Emperor's divinity and the divine right of Humanity to dominate the stars. Such was the fervour of their faith in fact, that they became embroiled deeply in the wars of the Age of Apostasy, whereas many other Chapters stayed on the sidelines of this vicious religious civil war, paying in blood for their convictions in support of the Thorians. Rigid believers in the Imperium's established status quo. they have often taken singular interest in the destruction of renegade Imperial commanders, rogue cardinals and other wayward lords. often consigning entire cities and colonies to the fire in order to achieve their aim. Despite their avowed defence of the Imperium, their religious zeal and strength of purpose, a shadow has long hovered over the Chapter and allegations of excessive use of force by them against civilian populations have often been levelled, as have acquisitions of desertion in the face of their foes by their allies.
一些机密文件表明：火鹰战团诞生于M36的第21次建军（所谓诅咒建军），该战团总是声称自己传承了著名的极限战士基因种子，但是阿斯塔特修会档案馆中的样本所表现出的某些缺陷和变异与这种说法相反，马库拉格的领主们也从未公开承认过两者之间的亲缘。但无论他们实际的血脉如何，火鹰战团在组织和结构上基本只遵守《阿斯塔特圣典》，而且有时会遭到其他那些完全遵守圣典教义的战团的严重怀疑。他们也长期严格遵守帝国国教，相信帝皇的神圣性与人类统治群星的神圣权力。事实上他们的信仰是如此的热烈，以至于他们深深卷入了叛教时代的战争中；其他许多战团在这场残酷的宗教内战中袖手旁观，而火鹰战团则为他们对于索尔派的坚定支持付出了血的代价。作为帝国既定现状的坚定信徒，他们对于毁灭变节的帝国指挥官、离经叛道的枢机主教和其他难以控制的（帝国）领主们经常感到突出的兴趣，为了实现自己的目标经常会将整座城市或整个殖民地化为一片火海。尽管他们公开为帝国辩护，也有着宗教狂热和意志力，但火鹰战团身上也笼罩着一团阴影，对于他们向平民过度使用武力的指控也经常是公正准确的，而对于他们在面对敌人时抛弃盟友的指控也是如此。
The root of this last charge has origins not in cowardice but rather callousness. In numerous battles they have been observed to have withdrawn their forces from situations where their ranks might become needlessly depleted by attrition, or where a tactical advantage has been clearly lost In favour of a later devastating counter-attack.
出现最后一项指控的根源在于火鹰战团的麻木不仁，而非懦弱。在很多战役中，火鹰战团都被观察到如下情况：但部队可能因不必要的消耗而减员时，或者己方已经显然丧失了战术优势、敌军将会转而进行毁灭性反击时，他们就会撤退。
When this has occurred it has often been done regardless of the plight of anyone alongside which they are fighting at the time, with the value of Imperial soldiers' lives meaning little to the Fire Hawks, as long as the greater battle is won. This callous disregard for the fate of others has proved less than popular with their allies, and on one such occasion the decision to withdraw from what they considered was an untenable position in battle was the cause of a three century feud with the Iron Hands Chapter that ended only with the death of a Fire Hawks commander in single combat to settle the matter.
当这种情况发生时，只要能让他们赢得更重要的战斗，火鹰战团通常会不顾与自己并肩作战的所有人所处的困境而采取行动。对他们而言，帝国士兵的生命价值毫无意义。事实证明，这种漠视他人命运的无情做法在其盟友中并不受欢迎；而也是他们这种从被（自己）认为站不住脚的战斗中撤退的某次决定，导致了他们与钢铁之手战团之间长达三个世纪的长期不和，此事最终以一位火鹰战团指挥官在一对一决斗中的死亡作结。
Although the war record of the Fire Hawks can be described as exemplary, and many famous victories can be ascribed to their honour, it is true that the Chapter has often been held in higher regard by the High Lords and their agents, than by many of their erstwhile wartime allies on the ground. Because of this, it is known to be the case that several other Space Marine Chapters consider the Fire Hawks as darkly fated, over-prideful and wanting in brotherhood with their fellow Astartes; some going so far as to suggest that they are tainted by some flaw in the Chapter's soul or gene-seed, though none would gainsay their effectiveness in battle.
尽管火鹰战团的战争记录堪称典范，许多著名的胜利也都被归功于他们的荣誉，但事实就是：相比于他们过去在战场上的诸多战时盟友，该战团往往会受到高领主们及其特工们更为密切的关注。因此众所周知的是：其他的一些星际战士战团们认为火鹰们命运黑暗，过于傲慢，而且也缺乏与（其他战团中）阿斯塔特同伴们的兄弟情义；虽然没有人否认他们的战斗效率，但也有某些人甚至认为该战团的灵魂或基因种子受到了某些缺陷的污染。
Organisation
组织结构
The Fire Hawks nominally adhere to the dictates of the Codex Astartes in tactical and logistical division of their troops, with their insignia and command structure varying somewhat in use and structure. Notably the conventions of title and nomenclature used by the Fire Hawks are of marked dilference from the Codex. The Fire Hawks tactical doctrine has always erred toward the use of shock tactics, close-quarters combat and above all, the brutal application of focused overwhelming force to obliterate the enemy. Their tendency in this regard is to favour the use of direct assault units and the Fire Hawks habitually deploy the majority of their 1st Company veterans in battle as Vanguard squads where a Terminator assault Is not called for. Even their Tactical and Devastator squads prefer to engage at point blank range wherever possible, and they utilise extensive stocks of MKIII Iron' pattern power armour, particularly for use in boarding assaults. Likewise the Chapter favours Land Raider patterns such as the Redeemer and Crusader, as well as batteries of Vindicator tanks in open war to shatter a breach in any propared defence In order to allow tho Fire Hawks to get to grips with their foes. Conversely, the Fire Hawks shun defensive warfare where they can. despising the 'inglorious' nature of prolonged bombardments or long range fire-fights as indecisive and unfit for the honour of an Astartes.
火鹰战团在名义上遵守着《阿斯塔特圣典》对于部队战术和后勤分工的要求，他们的徽章和指挥结构在使用与结构方面有所不同。值得注意的是，火鹰战团使用的头衔和命名法的惯例与圣典有着明显的差异。火鹰们在战术信条上会错误地使用突击战术与近战，而且最重要的是，他们会残酷地集中使用压倒性力量来消灭敌人。火鹰战团在此方面倾向于使用直接进攻单位，当处于不需要终结者部队进攻的情况中时，他们会习惯性地将第一连的大部分老兵作为先锋小队部署在战场上。甚至他们的战术和毁灭者小队也偏好在任何可能的情况下进行近距离攻击；他们大量使用着MK3钢铁型动力甲，尤其是在跳帮行动中。同样得，该战团也倾向于使用诸如救赎者和十字军之类型号的兰德掠夺者，以及维护者攻城坦克，目的是在任何准备好的防线中打开缺口，以便火鹰们与敌人展开激战。相反，火鹰战团会尽可能地避免进行防御战，他们鄙视长期轰炸或远程火力战斗的“不光彩”本质，认为这是优柔寡断的行为，与阿斯塔特修士的荣誉不符。
The Chapter as a whole is also known to shun the use of camouflage (even in codex approved patterns) as “the livery of curs” to quote one of the Chapter's early masters. and they see their livery of blood crimson and fire yellow as a visible sign to their foes of the destruction and cleansing they bring. Among their upper echelons, deaths-heads and other symbols of survival against all odds and the scorn of mortal fear are also increasingly common. All Fire Hawks are accustomed to modifying their armour with personal heraldry in order to display their achievements and the battles in which they have fought.
在作为一个整体时，该战团也因避免使用伪装（哪怕是圣典所认可的形式）——战团早期的某位战团长称之为“杂种狗穿的制服”，他们将自己血红和火黄两色交战的涂装视作向敌人带去毁灭与净化的明显标志。在战团的高层军官中，骷髅头和其他象征着不顾一切生存下去以及对死亡恐惧的蔑视的符号也变得越来越普遍。所有火鹰战士们都习惯于用个人纹章装饰自己的动力甲，以展示他们的成就和所参加过的战斗。
As a fleet-based force, the Fire Hawks Chapter is well-equipped with both warships and escorts, and their battle companies are permanently split in deployment between their combat vessels, with their reserve companies、1st Company and high command based upon the huge Warp-capable star-fortress Raptorus Rex. The substantial size of their fleet also has created a need for a considerably larger than normal reserve of Chapter serfs and servitors to perform crew and support duties. This pool of manpower forms a body of indentured servants from which the Fire Hawks demand total obedience and consider utterly disposable.
作为一个舰基战团，火鹰战团在战舰和护卫舰上都装备精良，他们的战斗连队会被永久性地在战斗舰船之间分散部署，后备连、第1连和战团最高指挥部则以具备亚空间航行能力的星际要塞“猛禽之王”号作为基地。他们的舰队规模庞大，也就需要远对于正常战团储备的仆役与机仆来充当船员和承担支援任务。这些凡人劳工是一群契约奴仆，火鹰战团要求他们绝对服从自己，并认为自己完全可以对其进行随意处置。
