Humans are one of the primary races in the galaxy, and the one from whose point of view the vast majority of the background is written. In M41 the majority of humans are part of the Imperium of Man, although other human civilisations are known to exist.

人类是银河系中的主要种族之一，绝大多数背景都是从他们的角度写的。在M41，大多数人类都是人类帝国的一部分，尽管已知存在其他人类文明。

Human History 人类历史

Originally little more than tree-beasts, humans originated from the planet Terra and while one with their ecosystem had no greater role defined for them by the Old Ones, an ancient and powerful race that ruled the Galaxy in its infancy. However, following the destruction of the Old Ones in the War in Heaven, humans went on to develop in unforeseen and uncontrolled ways as raw uncontrolled evolution took hold. Eventually humans went on to colonize the galaxy during the Dark Age of Technology. Almost nothing is known about human civilisation in this time, having been lost in the chaos of the Age of Strife. Most of Humanity's shattered colonies were reunified by the Emperor during the Great Crusade, becoming the early Imperium.

人类最初只不过是树上的野兽，起源于行星泰拉，尽管人类与他们所处的生态系统融为一体，但古圣并未为人类设定更为重大的角色，古圣是一个古老而强大的种族，在银河系的幼年时期统治着银河系。然而，在天堂之战中古圣势力被摧毁后，随着原始而不受控制的进化占据主导地位，人类继续以不可预见并不受控制地发展。最终，人类在黑暗技术时代继续在银河系殖民。在这段时间里，人类文明几乎一无所知，因为它已经迷失在了纷争时代的混乱中。人类大部分破碎的殖民地在大远征期间被帝皇统一，成为早期帝国。

The recorded history of Humanity can be divided into roughly four periods:

人类有记载的历史大致可分为四个时期：

• The Age of Terra: 1st Millennia to M15 or 18th Millennia

• 泰拉时代：第1个千年到第15或18个千年

• The Dark Age of Technology: M15 or M18 to M23 or M25

• 黑暗技术时代：M15或M18到M23或M25

• The Age of Strife: M23 or M25 to M30

• 纷争时代：M23或M25至M30

• The Age of the Imperium: M30 to the present setting, M41.

• 帝国时代：M30到现在的设定，M41。

Human Civilisations 人类文明

Imperium of Mankind 人类帝国

The majority of humans exist within the Imperium of Mankind. The Imperial Cult preaches that humanity has a Manifest Destiny to conquer the entire galaxy, to the point where alien species are seen as inferior and worthy of nothing but extinction.

大多数人类存在于人类帝国之中。帝国教派宣扬人类有征服整个银河系的天命，以至于异型被视为低劣的，只值得灭绝。

The Lost and the Damned 迷失者与被诅咒者

The next greatest concentration of humans exist as the Lost and the Damned, and reside primarily, though not exclusively, in the Eye of Terror. Not a coherent civilisation as such, they exist as part of a diverse and infinite collection of warbands and hosts under the leadership of Chaos Champions. Due to the nature of the Warp, some of these humans are the original Imperial subjects who sided with the Warmaster Horus during the Horus Heresy, though their number has been greatly supplemented by more recent humans who have turned to Chaos, or slaves captured as part of the many raids out of the Eye.

下一个最大的人类集中地是迷失者和被诅咒者，他们主要居住在恐惧之眼，尽管不是唯一的。它们本身并不是一个连贯的文明，而是在混沌冠军的领导下，作为各种各样、无限的战士和主人的一部分而存在。由于亚空间的性质，其中一些人是荷鲁斯叛乱期间支持战帅荷鲁斯的原始帝国臣民，尽管他们的数量得到了最近转向混沌的人的极大补充，或者在许多突袭行动中被俘的奴隶。

Tau Empire 钛帝国

Less xenophobic than the Imperium, the Tau Empire has no qualms in letting other races join it. Whilst few in number, some humans have done so and exist within the Empire where they are known as Gue'vesa. These humans for the most part are descendants of Imperial Guard troops who were abandoned in Tau space during the Damocles Crusade, however it is not unheard of for Imperial planets to want to secede from the Imperium to join the Tau Empire.

与帝国相比，钛帝国没有那么排外，它毫不犹豫地让其他种族加入。虽然人数很少，但一些人已经这样做了，并存在于帝国内部，他们被称为古’维萨。这些人类大多是达摩克利斯远征期间被遗弃在钛空域的帝国卫队的后代，然而，帝国行星想要脱离帝国加入钛帝国也并非闻所未闻。

Independent Civilisations 独立文明

Other human civilisations are extremely rare. This is mostly due to the fact that the Imperium considers itself to have an automatic right to rule all of humanity, and ruthlessly suppresses any attempt to secede from it. Similarly, any lost colonies that are rediscovered from the Dark Age of Technology are also incorporated into the Imperium whether they want to be or not. Despite this, a few independent human civilisations have been known to exist, such as the Interex, Diasporex, Auretian Technocracy, Gordian League, Adrantis Five, Prophets of Fury, and the Krull.

其他人类文明极为罕见。这主要是因为帝国认为自己有自动统治全人类的权利，并无情地镇压任何脱离它的企图。同样，从黑暗技术时代重新发现的任何失落的殖民地，无论他们是否愿意，也会被纳入帝国。尽管如此，已知存在一些独立的人类文明，如英特雷斯、流散者、奥瑞提亚科技联盟、戈迪亚联盟、阿德兰提斯五星、狂怒先知和克鲁尔。

Lost Colonies 失落殖民地

When the Age of Strife descended on the galaxy, the majority of human colonies were cut off from Terra and forced to survive on their own. In some cases this meant that they devolved into considerably more primitive societies as the knowledge to create and maintain technology was lost. The Great Crusade reunited many thousands of lost colonies back into the Imperium, yet every now and then changes in the warp mean that new colonies are discovered. Whilst nobody can know for sure how many, there are almost certainly more colonies still cut off from the rest of humanity, waiting to be discovered.

当纷争时代降临银河系时，大多数人类殖民地与泰拉隔绝，被迫独立生存。在某些情况下，这意味着随着创造和维护技术的知识的丧失，他们陷入了更加原始的社会。大远征将数千个失落的殖民地重新统一到帝国中，但亚空间的不时变化意味着新的殖民地被发现。虽然没有人确切知道有多少，但几乎可以肯定的是，还有更多的殖民地仍与人类其他部分隔绝，等待被发现。

Rebellious Systems 叛乱星系

The Imperium keeps a tight grip over its planets, yet every now and then planets or groups of planets do attempt to secede from the Imperium. This may be the result of the Planetary Governor believing he can get away with independence, or it may be the result of revolution that deposes those in power. Many of these successions are orchestrated by the powers of Chaos, and the humans that are part of it should be counted as the Lost and the Damned, however there are also occasions when a planet decides it wants to be independent of the Imperium through its own volition, such as the case of the Severan Dominate, or the Kingdom of Vanir. Regardless of the cause, these independent realms rarely last long as they are swiftly and brutally subjugated back into the Imperium.

帝国对其行星保持着严密的控制，但偶尔会有行星或星群试图脱离帝国。这可能是行星总督相信他可以独立逃脱惩罚的结果，也可能是推翻当权者的革命的结果。许多这样的继承都是由混沌的力量精心策划的，其中的人类应该被视为迷失者和被诅咒者，然而，也有一些情况下，一个行星决定通过自己的意志独立于帝国，比如赛维安帝国或瓦尼尔王国的情况。无论原因如何，这些独立的领地很少能维持很长时间，因为它们会被迅速且残酷地重新征服，再次纳入帝国的统治之下。

Pirates 海盗

The only independent civilisation with any real sustainability, some humans evade the Imperium's clutches and live outside of its reach in bands of ships existing through raids and piracy. Often allying themselves with Eldar or other Xenos, these humans are swiftly put down if they are caught by Imperial authorities.

作为唯一一个具有真正可持续性的独立文明，一些人逃避帝国的控制，生活在帝国触手可及的范围之外，生活在通过突袭和海盗而存在的船只中。这些人经常与灵族或其他异型结盟，如果被帝国当局抓住，他们很快就会被镇压。

Other Human Species 其他人类物种

Throughout the long history of the Imperium and before, the human race has mutated into a variety of stable species, known as abhumans. Abhumans are tolerated to a varying degree within the Imperium due to the fact that they are seen as being close enough to humans to be accepted.

在帝国的漫长历史和之前，人类已经变异成各种稳定的物种，被称为亚人。由于亚人被视为与人类足够接近而被接受，因此在帝国内部，亚人在不同程度上被容忍。
