轻剑武器平台

The Rapier is a semi-automated, tracked ballistic or directed energy weapon mount that is used by both the Astra Militarum and the Adeptus Astartes as a mobile heavy weapons platform. 轻剑是一种半自动化的，追踪弹道或者激光束武器底座，它被星界军和阿斯塔特修会用作移动重武器平台。

It is used to transport weapons that are too heavy for a single Imperial Guardsman or even a Space Marine to carry on his own. The Rapier is similar in appearance and operation to the Space Marine Thunderfire Cannon, and features on-board targeting systems and power generators. The Rapier can be operated by a single operator or by a pair of operators who control both the device's movement and weapons fire from the controls at the rear of the mount. The Rapier can be controlled by either a Tech-priest or a Techmarine, or by specially-trained Imperial Guardsmen and Space Marines. While the Rapier's Machine Spirit is capable of moving the Rapier on its own, its weapons cannot be fired without input from its operator.轻剑用于运输那些对于一名卫军士兵甚至一名星际战士而言都太过沉重无法独自搬运的武器。轻剑的外表和操作类似于星际战士的雷火炮，特色是装备了机载瞄准系统和力场发生器。轻剑可以由一名操作员控制，它也可以由两名操作员从底座后部的控制装置进行操作，这样还能同时进行设备的移动和开火。轻剑可由技术牧师或者技术战士，或者特殊训练过的卫军士兵或者星际战士来操作。虽然轻剑的机魂能够自行移动武器平台，但它只有在操作员输入指令后才能开火。

The device is usually armed with a set of quad Heavy Bolters or Multi-Lasers for anti-personnel use or a Laser Destroyer Array for anti-armour use. 轻剑通常配备四挺重爆弹（形成的四方阵）或者多管激光用于反步兵，或者激光破坏者阵列用于反甲。

The machine can also be armed with an Astartes Quad Mortar, useful for siege warfare or suppressive fire. 它也可以配备阿斯塔特的四管迫击炮，用于攻城战或压制火力。

Rapiers could also be armed with even more exotic weaponry for special operations, such as a Graviton Cannon. 轻剑也可以为了特殊任务配备更奇特的武器，比如重力炮。

This now-rare weapon can trace its origins back to the Great Crusade of the late 30th Millennium where it was used by both the Imperial Army and the Space Marine Legions against the enemies of the newly-formed Imperium of Man, and later by both sides during the Horus Heresy of the early 31st Millennium.轻剑现在是一种罕见的的武器，它起源于大远征时期，那时它被帝国军和阿斯塔特军团用于对抗新生的人类帝国的敌人。后来她也被大叛乱的双方所使用。
