One of the most clearly defining features of the Solar Auxilia is their unique panoply of war, which sets them aside from the myriad different forces within the wider Imperialis Auxilia, and is informed both by their history and their particular role in the Imperium's vast war machine.

太陽(yáng)輔助軍最為清晰可辨的特征之一就是他們獨(dú)特的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)裝備，這讓他們區(qū)別于龐雜的帝國(guó)軍（體系）中的眾多不同的部隊(duì)。這種情況受到了他們的歷史以及他們?cè)诘蹏?guó)龐大戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)機(jī)器中的特殊角色的共同影響。

Personal Arms

單兵武器

The most singular and perhaps iconic piece of wargear utilised by a member of the Solar Auxilia is their void armour; a carapace- reinforced, full environmental combat body armour with a fully integrated life support unit. The void armour worn by the Solar Auxilia, eponymously classified as 'Solar pattern' is itself a mass-produced modification of the ancient void armour worn by the Void Hoplites of the Saturnyne Ordo. The armour is fully sealed and capable of resisting small arms fire, ballistic impacts and shock trauma, is self healing against minor penetrations and lacerations, and is particularly resilient against radiation and thermal effects, making it highly effective for combat operations in hostile environments of many kinds, not simply the open void. Although efficient and resilient, void armour however should not be considered to be a match in regards to durability or sophistication to Legiones Astartes power armour, which operates at a greater order of magnitude in terms of defence and endurance.

太陽(yáng)軍們使用的最為奇特，以及可能是最為標(biāo)志性的裝備就是他們的虛空甲，這種甲殼增強(qiáng)的全環(huán)境戰(zhàn)斗護(hù)甲被整合入了生命支持單元。太陽(yáng)軍們所穿著的虛空甲被同名地分類(lèi)為“太陽(yáng)型”，它本身就是土星聯(lián)盟的虛空重步兵們所穿著的古老虛空甲的大規(guī)模量產(chǎn)改型。這種護(hù)甲完全封閉，能夠抵擋小型武器射擊、流彈傷害與沖擊傷害，對(duì)于輕微的穿透和撕裂具有自我修復(fù)能力，而且尤其能夠抵抗輻射和熱量。這讓虛空甲在各種惡劣環(huán)境里的戰(zhàn)斗行動(dòng)中都極為高校，而非僅僅局限于開(kāi)闊的虛空環(huán)境。不過(guò)，盡管虛空甲高效且有恢復(fù)性，但我們并不能就此認(rèn)為認(rèn)為它具有匹敵阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)動(dòng)力甲的耐久性和高強(qiáng)性能，后者有著極其強(qiáng)悍的防御和耐力。

Just as the void armour worn by the Solar Auxilia is greater in terms of sophistication and material cost, so is its small arms weaponry, the most common of which is the Kalibrax V-1?pattern lasrifle. The Kalibrax operates within the standard assigned power ranges set down by the Officio Militaris for Imperialis Auxilia weaponry, but is notable both for its heavily reinforced energy transfer capacitors, overall durability and superior heat dissipation qualities over more common patterns such as the Mars Mkll lasgun or the Ursh-Vanrovka lascarbine. These factors make it highly desirable for the hazards of void warfare, and also easily able to handle a variety of?modifications and augmentative systems, such as bolt-collimator arrays and induction blast-chargers, without the fatal strain such devices might impose on lesser weapons. Historically, in terms of light support and specialised weaponry, the Solar Auxilia has always favoured various forms of directed energy weapons, including flamers, meltas, multi-lasers and lascannon, particularly for their suitability to void combat and to simplify maintenance and munitions supply, although bolt and rotor cannon-type weapons were far from unknown in the cohorts, particularly when a Solar Auxilia Cohort had operated for long periods alongside other Imperial forces.

與太陽(yáng)軍所穿著的虛空甲一樣，他們使用的小型武器的復(fù)雜性和資源耗費(fèi)也更高，其中最為常見(jiàn)的是卡里布拉斯V-1型激光步槍?zhuān)@種武器在軍務(wù)庭為帝國(guó)輔助軍所制定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)分配功率范圍內(nèi)運(yùn)行，不過(guò)它因大幅增強(qiáng)的能量轉(zhuǎn)換電容、綜合耐久性和比諸如火星2型激光槍或?yàn)鯛柺?萬(wàn)羅夫卡型激光卡賓槍等常見(jiàn)型號(hào)更優(yōu)越的散熱質(zhì)量而著稱(chēng)，這些因素讓它在危險(xiǎn)的虛空戰(zhàn)中變得極其稱(chēng)手，而且也能被輕松地加裝上各種改件和增強(qiáng)系統(tǒng)，比如螺栓（固定的）直準(zhǔn)陣列和感應(yīng)式快速充電器，而且不會(huì)產(chǎn)生這些裝置可能對(duì)較小武器所造成的致命壓力。在輕型支援和特殊武器上，太陽(yáng)軍們通常偏好各種定向能武器，包括火焰噴射器、熱熔槍、多管激光和激光炮，他們選擇這些武器是由于其對(duì)于虛空戰(zhàn)的適應(yīng)性，以及出于簡(jiǎn)化維護(hù)和降低彈藥供給難度的考量。但爆彈和轉(zhuǎn)膛炮類(lèi)型的武器在太陽(yáng)軍兵團(tuán)中也絕非是聞所未聞，尤其是太陽(yáng)軍與帝國(guó)其他部隊(duì)長(zhǎng)期聯(lián)合作戰(zhàn)時(shí)（也會(huì)使用此類(lèi)武器）。

Once the standard armament of a significant number of infantry sections, volkire weapons became increasingly rare as the Great Crusade had worn on, and by the Horus Heresy became the preserve only of the most elite of their Veletaris units, and to carry such a weapon became a thing of great distinction in the ranks of the Solar Auxilia, the weapons themselves passing from solider to solider as time went on. The weapons of the Solar Auxilia's officer class have a tendency to be highly idiosyncratic in nature, with each officer allowed to furnish their own personal arms, allowing for considerable variation and indeed competition between them to do so, with the sword of various forms being held commonly as the mark of an officer. Duelling between officers of similar rank outside of active war has always been permitted within certain parameters within the Solar Auxilia, both as sport and more lethally over matters of honour (with a commanding officer's permission). For this the Terran Charnabal sabre is the most common implement, and the training and skill this encourages is seen as being purely beneficial to those involved and the cohorts they serve.

爆燃武器曾經(jīng)是大量步兵方隊(duì)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)武器，但隨著大遠(yuǎn)征推進(jìn)，這種武器變得越來(lái)越罕見(jiàn)，等到荷魯斯叛亂時(shí)期，只有太陽(yáng)軍中最為精銳的單位——維勒塔里斯突擊隊(duì)還保留著此類(lèi)武器，攜帶這種武器在太陽(yáng)軍部隊(duì)中也成為了重要的特殊身份標(biāo)志，隨著時(shí)間流逝，武器本身也從士兵們手中流轉(zhuǎn)。太陽(yáng)軍軍官們的武器在本質(zhì)上有一種非常特殊的傾向，每位軍官被允許裝飾自己的個(gè)人裝備，這讓軍官的武器存在了可觀的改型和事實(shí)上的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，各種形制的動(dòng)力劍更是被常見(jiàn)地視作軍官的身份標(biāo)志。再非作戰(zhàn)時(shí)段，同級(jí)別軍官之間也被允許進(jìn)行特定范圍之內(nèi)的決斗，這是一種運(yùn)動(dòng)，而當(dāng)事關(guān)榮譽(yù)時(shí)，這種決斗就會(huì)更為致命（不過(guò)需要得到指揮官許可）。泰拉的剔骨軍刀是太陽(yáng)軍軍官們最常見(jiàn)的佩刀，而且太陽(yáng)軍所鼓勵(lì)的格斗訓(xùn)練和近戰(zhàn)技藝被認(rèn)為對(duì)于參與者和其所在的兵團(tuán)都是完全有益的。

Tactical Support

戰(zhàn)術(shù)支援

Every Solar Auxilia Cohort is intended to operate as a self-contained force, and it is organised and supplied with additional infrastructural support based on its assigned role. For example, if on exploration duty or in open warfare, the cohorts almost always operate as a mechanised force, utilising large numbers of heavy, all-environment armoured transports as mounts and rally points for their troops. Most common of these is the Dracosan Armoured Transport, which possesses both the transport capacity to carry entire lasrifle sections in a single vehicle and is possessed of both considerably more armour and inherent rad/alchem protection than the ubiquitous Rhino, as well as a life support system of greater endurance. Alongside this primary ground vehicle, a specific armoured and often armed variant of?the Arvus Lighter serves as the Solar Auxilia's most numerous support transport. This STC pattern is a robust and reliable orbital interface craft whose trusted design predated the Imperium's founding by unknown centuries, and is used in a variety of roles from troop transport, to reconnaissance craft, to supply conveyor and even as an impromptu gunship.

每支太陽(yáng)軍兵團(tuán)都傾向于作為自給自足的部隊(duì)進(jìn)行運(yùn)作，他們基于自己被指定的角色進(jìn)行組織，并由額外的支援設(shè)施提供支援。例如，倘若太陽(yáng)軍兵團(tuán)要執(zhí)行探索任務(wù)或參與公開(kāi)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，他們基本總是會(huì)作為機(jī)械化部隊(duì)進(jìn)行運(yùn)作，用大量的重型全環(huán)境裝甲運(yùn)輸車(chē)作為部隊(duì)的運(yùn)輸載具和集結(jié)點(diǎn)。其中最常見(jiàn)的天龍裝甲運(yùn)輸車(chē)，一輛運(yùn)輸車(chē)就能承載一整個(gè)激光步槍分隊(duì)，而且這種載具裝配了比無(wú)處不在的犀牛運(yùn)輸車(chē)都更為厚重的裝甲和更優(yōu)良的內(nèi)置防輻射/防巫術(shù)保護(hù)系統(tǒng)，其維生系統(tǒng)也有更高的耐用性。除了這種主要的地面載具，某種裝備了特殊裝甲并且通常進(jìn)行了武裝的阿爾維斯輕型登陸艇改型是太陽(yáng)軍數(shù)量最多的支援運(yùn)輸機(jī)。這種載具的STC模板是一種堅(jiān)固可靠的軌道接入飛行器，其可信賴(lài)的設(shè)計(jì)能追溯到帝國(guó)建立之前某個(gè)未知的世紀(jì)。這種飛船可以用作各種角色：部隊(duì)運(yùn)輸機(jī)，偵查飛行器，補(bǔ)給運(yùn)輸機(jī)，甚至是臨時(shí)炮艇。

As might be expected given the Solar Auxilia's close relation to void warfare and orbital assault, additional naval support by fighter craft, heavy gunships and orbital landers is also very closely factored into the Solar Auxilia Cohorts' sphere of operations, with the Auxilia possessing its own cadres of pilots and void ratings integrated into a given cohort's own chain of command to facilitate its operation. Almost uniquely among the Excemis Imperialis, Solar Auxilia Cohorts stationed upon ships of the line also make use of specially modified Shark pattern boarding rams for void assault actions, a deadly form of engagement usually assumed to be the sole province of the mighty Legiones Astartes.

就像預(yù)期的那樣，考慮到太陽(yáng)軍與虛空戰(zhàn)和軌道進(jìn)攻之間的密切聯(lián)系，在太陽(yáng)軍兵團(tuán)的行動(dòng)中也有考慮到戰(zhàn)斗機(jī)、重型炮艇和軌道登陸艇提供的額外海軍支援，輔助軍也擁有自己的飛行員和虛空部隊(duì)軍銜等級(jí)，并將其整合到給定的隊(duì)列自己的指揮鏈中以促進(jìn)其運(yùn)作。駐守在星艦上太陽(yáng)軍還會(huì)在虛空突擊行動(dòng)中使用特殊改造過(guò)的鯊魚(yú)跳幫艇，這在幾乎所有的帝國(guó)軍部隊(duì)中都是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的。這種致命的交戰(zhàn)方式通常被認(rèn)為只能由強(qiáng)大的阿斯塔特軍團(tuán)使用。

Heavy Armour and Ordnance

重裝甲和炮兵

The Solar Auxilia Cohorts make extensive use of support armour and mobile artillery units in open battle, and unlike the forces of the wider Imperialis Auxilia, these are invariably patterns designed and proofed against void and hostile environment operation, including radiological shielding and internal life support systems. These include the notably advanced Mars-Solar pattern Leman Russ battle tanks, created specifically to the Auxilia's specifications by the Lords of the Red Planet —both swifter and more sophisticated than their more commonly encountered counterparts— as well as semi-automata variant Basilisk and Medusa artillery tanks mounted on those same environmentally sealed Leman Russ chassis. Solar Auxilia Cohorts are also renowned for their routine deployment of prefabricated defence works, fortifying any encampment they make or outpost they construct, however temporary; a standard operating procedure born of?extensive deployments on unknown worlds far from ready aid.

太陽(yáng)軍兵團(tuán)會(huì)在公開(kāi)戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中大量使用支援裝甲單位和移動(dòng)炮兵單位，而且不同于普通帝國(guó)輔助軍部隊(duì)，太陽(yáng)軍部隊(duì)的裝備被證明能夠在虛空和惡劣環(huán)境中作戰(zhàn)，它們裝備的輻射屏蔽裝置和內(nèi)置的生命維持系統(tǒng)。其中就包括尤為先進(jìn)的火星—太陽(yáng)型黎曼魯斯戰(zhàn)斗坦克，這種武器是火星的領(lǐng)主們針對(duì)太陽(yáng)輔助軍的規(guī)格而特別創(chuàng)造出來(lái)的，相比于其他更為常見(jiàn)的戰(zhàn)斗坦克，火星—太陽(yáng)型黎曼魯斯戰(zhàn)斗坦克速度更快，也更精密；太陽(yáng)軍還配備了基于同樣的環(huán)境封閉型黎曼魯斯坦克底盤(pán)而研發(fā)出的半自動(dòng)化石化蜥蜴和美杜莎炮擊坦克改型。太陽(yáng)軍還因?yàn)樗麄儗?duì)于預(yù)制防御工事的常規(guī)部署而著稱(chēng)，哪怕只是要臨時(shí)加固他們建造的任何營(yíng)地或前哨，這是太陽(yáng)軍在遠(yuǎn)離（擁有）現(xiàn)成援助的未知世界進(jìn)行廣泛部署時(shí)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)操作程序。

Most Solar Auxilia Cohorts also feature at least one fully equipped super-heavy armour sub-cohort within its ranks, whose armoury contains numerous types of general battle units such as the Malcador and the Baneblade, as well as vehicles reserved for more specialised roles such as the Shadowsword and Stormhammer. It is notable, however, that more specialised siege formations, such as static artillery batteries, are rarely included within a cohort's regular order of battle, as siege duty and attrition warfare was largely considered a waste of the Solar Auxilia's particular capabilities by strategic command during the Great Crusade, and left to other, more specialised formations of the Excertus Imperialis.

幾乎所有的太陽(yáng)軍兵團(tuán)都會(huì)保有至少一個(gè)滿配的超重型裝甲次級(jí)兵團(tuán)，這些裝甲編隊(duì)的武庫(kù)中保存著種類(lèi)繁多的常規(guī)作戰(zhàn)單位，比如馬卡多重型坦克和毒刃，以及執(zhí)行某些更為具體任務(wù)的載具，比如影劍和風(fēng)暴錘。但很明顯太陽(yáng)軍兵團(tuán)的常規(guī)戰(zhàn)斗序列中極少包括諸如固定式炮群之類(lèi)更為專(zhuān)用的攻城編隊(duì)，因?yàn)樵诖筮h(yuǎn)征時(shí)期，戰(zhàn)略指揮部在很大程度上認(rèn)為攻城戰(zhàn)和消耗戰(zhàn)是對(duì)于太陽(yáng)軍卓越能力的浪費(fèi)，這些任務(wù)會(huì)留給帝國(guó)輔助軍中其他更為專(zhuān)業(yè)的部隊(duì)。
