八版钛帝国圣典：KV128雷暴战斗服

KV128 STORMSURGES 

Towering colossi of destruction, KV128 Stormsurges carry the firepower to annihilate whole columns of tanks, or fell super-heavy walkers with a single earth-shaking volley. Rushed to the front of the escalating war against the Imperium, these mobile bastions have swiftly proved their worth against the numbers and heavy armour of the foe. Though ponderous, a single Stormsurge can alter the course of a battle in seconds. armoured resilience and phenomenal firepower make it equally lethal in attack or defence. 

KV128雷暴战斗服是高大的毁灭巨像，它的火力强到能用一次地震般的齐射摧毁整列的坦克或击倒超重型步行机。这种移动炮击战斗服冲在钛帝国与人类帝国不断恶化的战争的前线，在对抗敌军步兵和重装甲的战斗中证明了自己的价值。虽然笨重，但一台雷暴战斗服就能在数秒中改变战斗的进程。装甲的恢复力和非凡的火力让他在进攻和防御中同样致命。

The Storrnsurge is the first in a new breed of T'au super-heavy war assets known as ballistic suits. Developed by the noted Earth caste weapons scientist Fio'o Bork'an Ishu'ron, these massive bipedal weapon-platforms are an answer to the super-heavy war engines of their foes. O'Ishu'ron recognised that even heavy battlesuits and aircraft such as the railgun-equipped Tiger Shark AX-1-0 could be outgunned by the Imperium's Titan-dass walkers. Furthermore, when the enemy deployed their mightiest war machines en masse — as was the case during the war for Daryth and the Great War of Confederation — all the railguns and seeker missiles in the empire could not prevent the Fire caste from sustaining heavy casualties. O'Ishu'ron, however, had a solution: the pinpoint application of overwhelming force. 

雷暴是第一台被称之为炮击战斗服的钛帝国新型号超重型战争装备，由著名的土氏族武器科学家费奥’欧 . 波尔’坎 .伊苏’隆，制造这种巨大的两足行走武器平台是为了应对敌军的超重型战争引擎。伊苏’隆阁下意识到哪怕是重型战斗服和诸如装备了磁轨炮的AX-1-0虎鲨炮艇之类的飞行器也无法战胜人类帝国的泰坦级步行机甲。另外，当敌人们大规模部署他们最大型的战争机器时——比如在Daryth之战和联盟大战中，钛帝国所有的轨道炮和寻路者导弹都不能保护火氏族免受持续性的严重伤亡。不过伊苏’隆阁下有了一个解决方案：压倒性力量的精准应用。

Each KV128 is essentially an enormous walking gun-tower, whose purpose is to anchor the Fire caste battle line while laying down an insurmountable weight of covering fire. To this end, the ballistic suit is fitted with a secondary generator specifically to power its Titan-killing weaponry, and is regularly used as a platform to field-test experimental weapons so heavy they have previously only seen use on spacecraft. 

KV128本质上是巨大的步行炮塔，设计目的是在支撑火氏族战线的同时释放出强度无法逾越的覆盖火力，为达到这一目标，炮击战斗服专门安装了次级反应堆来为其泰坦杀手级别的武器供能，它也经常被用作实验性武器的战场测试平台，这些武器非常沉重，之前仅被目击到用于星舰。

The Stormsurge is operated by a carefully selected pairing of veteran Hammerhead crewmen, who have graduated through the ballistic suit academies on Bork'an. The prestige of operating a ballistic suit is not equal to that of donning the Hero's Mantle, but the steely eyed graduates of the so-called Ves'oni'vash — or giantmaker academy' — are honoured by the Fire Warriors for the countless lives they save. 

雷暴由精心挑选出的两名锤头鲨老兵驾驶员操作，他们毕业于Bork'an世界上的炮击战斗服学院，操作炮击战斗服带来的声望并不等同于披上了英雄的披风，但由于他们挽救了无数的生命，这些受业于Ves'oni'vash或者“巨人学院”的眼神冰冷刚毅的毕业生们也因此被火战士们所敬重。

Working as a seamless team, the crew operate their towering suit, one piloting the Stormsurge while the other monitors, aims, and fires its weapon systems. 

两名驾驶员会作为一个合作无间的团队来操作他们高大的战斗服，一个负责操纵雷暴战斗服（移动），同时另一个负责检查、瞄准和击发武器系统。

In order to keep pace with the fluid strategies of the T'au, Stormsurges are mag-lifted into battle beneath specially modified Manta Missile Destroyers. Once deployed, the ballistic suit stomps into position and unleashes its incredible firepower, annihilating its designated targets before being lifted away once more. 

为了与钛星人的灵活易变的战术保持步调一致，雷暴是由特殊改造过的曼塔导弹驱逐舰投放到战场上。一经部署，这些炮击战斗服就会迈着沉重的步伐走入战位并释放出不可思议的火力，在自己被再次转运之前歼灭所有选定的目标。
