刺客庭数据板节译：辩护之战

A few months after the death of the traitorous High Lord Goge Vandire and the end of the Wars of Apostasy, the Imperial Palace was once again rocked by the violence of all-out war. This time a far more sinister element was involved: the Officio Assassinorum. Somehow, entrance to and from the palace had been barred, despite no order coming from the High Lords. Trapped within its confines, many had barricaded themselves in their chambers as the palace echoed to the sound of gunfire and shook with the force of devastating explosions. Vandire had managed to corrupt many within the Officio Assassinorum, just as he had bribed and blackmailed his way to influence within the Adeptus Astra,Telepathica, Ecclesiarchy, Administratum and Astra Militarum. Foremost amongst his agents was one Tziz Jarek of the Callidus Temple. Using Polymorphine, Jarek had assassinated the true Grand Master and assumed his identity. However, unbeknownst to Jarek, the Grand Master had expected such a plot and had a loyal Callidus Assassin take his place in his chambers. So it was that Jarek had not killed the true Grand Master, who secretly mustered those Assassins still loyal to him to fight against this usurper.

在叛国的高领主高格 范迪尔死亡，以及叛教战争结束仅仅数月之后，帝国宫再次遭到了一次全面战争的冲击。一支远为险恶的势力——刺客庭这次也卷入其中。尽管高领主们并未下达命令，但不知何故，宫殿的出入口都被封死。宫室内回荡着枪声，毁灭性爆炸释放的冲击力令建筑体颤抖，许多被困于其中的人们把自己关在房间里躲避危险。范迪尔成功地腐化了刺客庭中的许多成员，就像他通过贿赂和胁迫来影响阿斯塔特修会、星语厅、国教教廷、政务部和星界军那样。他麾下最重要的特工是卡利杜司神庙的刺客——齐兹·雅雷克。雅雷克利用多位体药物（进行易容），暗杀了真正的大导师并伪装易容出了对方的特征。但雅雷克并不知道的是：大导师早就预料到会有这种阴谋，于是派了一名忠诚的卡利杜司刺客待在自己的房间中。也正是雅雷克未能杀死的这名大导师集结起了仍旧忠于自己的刺客们去与篡位者们交战。

A heinous battle raged within the Imperial Palace itself, with many innocents dying as the Assassins brought their terrible skills to the war. The ancient arsenal of the Officio Assassinorum was opened and terrifying weapons used once more, weapons whose use had been banned by the Senatorum Imperialis since their discovery. Gene-sympathetic nerve gases polluted the corridors, while neutronic warheads destroyed whole wings of the Palace. In the end, the true Grand Master assassinated Jarek and then disappeared in self-imposed exile. It was this chain of events that led to the formation of the Ordo Sicarius, that branch of the Inquisition that is specifically tasked with ensuring the Officio Assassinorum remains as true to the goals of the High Lords as humanly possible。

帝国宫内部展开了一场令人发指的战争，由于刺客们把他们可怕的技能用到了这次战争中，许多无辜者也因此丧生。刺客庭的古老武库被打开，可怕的武器们也再次被使用——自从它们被发现起，帝国元老院便禁止了对于这些武器的使用。基因感应神经毒气污染了走廊，而中子弹头则摧毁了宫殿的整个侧厅。最终，真正的大导师暗杀掉了雅雷克，然后消失在了自我流放中。这一连串的事件导致了刺杀修会的建立——审判庭该分支的具体任务便是确保刺客庭尽可能忠于高领主们的目标。
