The Imperial Palace is a vast edifice that serves as both the palace of the Emperor of Mankind and the capital city of the Imperium of Man. Built across a large part of the Asian continent on Terra, the Palace is divided into the Inner and Outer Palaces. The Palace is built to truly monumental proportions: seen from orbit, it consists of connected kilometres-high monolithic and pyramidal structures, marked with landing pads and studded with defense weaponry. The palace itself is the seat of the Adeptus Terra, but is overseen by the Adeptus Custodes.

帝国皇宫是一座巨大的建筑，既是人类帝皇的宫殿，也是人类帝国的首都。建筑横跨亚洲大陆的大部分地区，分为内殿和外殿。这座宫殿是按照真正具有纪念意义的比例建造的：从轨道上看，它由连接数公里高的整体和金字塔结构组成，标有着陆台，并镶嵌着防御武器。宫殿本身是中央政务部的所在地，但由禁军监管。

Imperial Palace complex 帝国皇宫建筑群

Not only is the area of the Imperial Palace enormous, its macro-habs and space ports break through the atmosphere and rise into the void, and its sub-levels dig deep into Terra's holy bedrock, in some places reaching a depth of hundreds of miles below the surface. Its vaults, corridors, fastnesses, plazas, and chambers are so multitudinous that no single record remains to list them all, and the techno-urbanic serf tribes, clan holdings, and societal sub-nations that dwell within its walls could populate entire star systems.

故宫不仅面积巨大，其宏观港口和太空港也突破了大气层，上升到虚空中，其子层深入泰拉神圣的基岩层，在某些地方达到了地表以下数百英里的深度。它的拱顶、走廊、堡垒、广场和房间如此之多，以至于没有一个记录可以一一列出，而居住在它墙内的技术城市化奴隶部落、宗族财产和社会亚族可以填充整个星系。

History 历史

Construction of the Imperial Palace began after the Unification Wars as a symbol of the Emperor's might and a monument dedicated to mankind's new unification. Based around the Himalayan Mountains, the Palace was designed by the most expert artisans of the many Masonic Guilds of Terra. The early management of the Palace was left to the Seneschals of the Departmento Regia Interior. Construction of the Palace defenses was overseen by Primarch Rogal Dorn, much to the frustration of Perturabo. Some construction of the Palace was still taking place by the end of the Great Crusade, meaning construction took at least 200 years.

统一战争后，皇宫开始建造，作为帝皇力量的象征和人类新统一的纪念碑。这座宫殿位于喜马拉雅山脉周围，由许多泰拉石匠工会最专业的工匠设计。宫殿的早期管理权留给了内政部总管。宫殿防御工事的建造由原体罗格·多恩监督，这让佩图拉博非常沮丧。大远征结束时，宫殿的一些建设仍在进行，这意味着建设至少需要200年。

The Imperial Palace has only come under major attack twice, being the site of most of the fighting during the Siege of Terra at the climax of the Horus Heresy. During the Heresy, Rogal Dorn was forced to dramatically increase the Palace defenses, causing much of its splendor to be dismantled in favor of cold military necessities. As of the 41st Millennium, the Imperial Palace still bears the scars of that titanic battle.[4] After the Heresy, the Imperial Palace also saw an Eldar raid and damage from falling debris during the War of the Beast. Ten thousand years after the Heresy, Terra faced its second major assault following the Thirteenth Black Crusade. Thanks to the formation of the Great Rift the Palace was assailed by the vast legions of Khorne, which were turned back by the newly reborn Roboute Guilliman before they could reach the Eternity Gate.

皇宫只遭受过两次重大袭击，是荷鲁斯叛乱高潮时期泰拉围城期间大部分战斗的地点。在叛乱时期，罗格·多恩被迫大幅增加宫殿的防御，导致宫殿的大部分辉煌被拆除，取而代之的是冰冷的军事必需品。截至第41个千年，皇宫仍然留有那场大战的痕迹。叛乱之后，在野兽战争期间，皇宫还发生了一次灵族突袭和碎片坠落造成的破坏。叛乱一万年后，泰拉面临着第十三次黑色远征的第二次重大进攻。由于大裂隙的形成，皇宫遭到了恐虐庞大军团的袭击，这些军团在到达永恒之门之前被恢复的罗伯特·基里曼击退。

Design 设计

Outer Defenses 外部防御

Due to ancient laws prohibiting construction too close to the walls, the area around the Outer Palace walls are empty, which is an extreme rarity on Terra. Those that live close to the walls exist in both splendor and squalor.

由于古代法律禁止在离城墙太近的地方施工，外殿城墙周围的区域是空的，这在泰拉上是极其罕见的。那些住在城墙附近的人既辉煌又肮脏。

An aerial view of the modern Imperial Palace 现代帝国皇宫鸟瞰图

The walls surrounding the Outer Palace are of gargantuan proportions. The walls are 30 meters wide and taller than the greatest structures of the rest of Terra, in some areas being 1,100 meters in height. Defense towers consisting of massive gun-citadels run every hundred meters along the walls lengths. Inside the walls are endless amounts of power generators, ammunition trains, aircraft hangars, barracks, and void shield generators. Stretching for thousands of kilometers and with relatively few Custodes, much of this area are defended by regular Imperial Guard Regiments such as the Lucifer Blacks and Palatine Sentinels. Hundreds of thousands of men live and die within the walls of Terra, which in truth is more of a contiguous fortress than a simple barrier.

外殿周围的墙壁比例巨大。这些墙宽30米，比太辣其他地区最大的建筑还要高，在某些地区高1100米。由巨大的炮台组成的防御塔沿着城墙每百米一座。墙内有无数的发电机、弹药列车、飞机库、营房和虚空盾发生器。该地区绵延数千公里，禁军相对较少，大部分地区由路西法黑卫和帕拉廷哨兵等正规帝国卫队部队防守。数十万人在泰拉的城墙内生活和死亡，事实上，泰拉城墙与其说是一道简单的屏障，不如说是一座座相连的堡垒。

In addition to its network of walls and gun batteries, the Imperial Palace is protected by a Void Shield array known as The Aegis. Designed by the Adeptus Mechanicus and perhaps the most sophisticated of its kind within the Imperium, the Aegis is a multi-layered self-repairing void web that encompasses the whole of the Palace and even slightly beyond. In its strongest areas the Aegis is capable of stopping the penetration of any object above a half-gram traveling faster than two meters per second. While The Aegis is invincible against orbital bombardment in theory, at its weakest outer reaches slow-moving aircraft can penetrate the shield and attack its open generators.

除了墙壁和炮台网络外，皇宫还受到被称为宙斯盾的虚空盾阵列的保护。宙斯盾由机械神教设计，可能是帝国内同类产品中最复杂的，它是一个多层的自我修复的虚空盾网络，涵盖了整个皇宫，甚至稍微超出了皇宫。在其最强的区域，宙斯盾能够阻止任何超过半克、速度超过每秒两米的物体穿透。虽然理论上宙斯盾在轨道轰炸中是无敌的，但在其最薄弱的外部，缓慢移动的飞机可以穿透虚空盾并攻击其开放的发电机。

Outer Palace 外殿

The Imperial Palace is as heavily urbanized and populated as any hive city. Adepts numbering in the billions work and reside within the Palace. The Outer Palace is also heavily urbanized by a population of destitute non-adepts. The Adeptus Custodes maintain a constant vigil over the Imperial Palace, and are among the few permitted to pass beyond the Eternity Gate into the Emperor's presence. The Adeptus Arbites are responsible for maintaining order and vigilance within the Outer Palace, especially outside official buildings which are often thronged with the queue lines of those seeking employment within the Administratum. Shock troops quickly put down the vicious queue riots that occasionally erupt.

帝国皇宫的城市化程度和人口密度与任何巢都城市一样高。数十亿人在皇宫内工作和居住。外殿也被一群贫困的民众严重城市化。禁军们对皇宫保持着持续的守卫，是少数获准越过永恒之门进入帝皇面前的人之一。法务部负责维持外殿的秩序和警惕，特别是在官方建筑外，那里经常挤满了在行政机构内求职的人。突击队会迅速平息偶尔爆发的恶性排队骚乱。

The Imperial Palace as it appeared during the Horus Heresy 荷鲁斯叛乱时期的帝国皇宫

The Palace is the heart of the Administratum. Countless souls labour in the immeasurable archives and headquarters of the Imperium, ordering and maintaining an empire that spans the galaxy. Without them, the Imperium would lose all access to its history and databanks. Also, it is the seat of the High Lords of Terra, who are charged with interpreting the Emperor's will. These twelve Lords are accounted the most powerful of all living men. They guide the overall strategy of the inexhaustible armies of the Imperium, and uphold the Emperor's might across a million worlds.

皇宫是行政机构的核心。无数的灵魂在帝国无法估量的档案和总部里劳动，命令和维护一个横跨银河系的帝国。没有他们，帝国将失去对其历史和数据库的所有访问。此外，它也是泰拉的高领主的所在地，他们负责解释帝皇的遗言。这十二位领主被认为是所有在世的人中最强大的。他们指导帝国取之不尽的军队的总体战略，并在百万个世界中维护帝皇的力量。

Trivia 琐事

An abandoned area of the Imperial Palace where the Emperor may have developed the first Astartes is inscribed with the poem Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley. After discovering the inscription Corax is perplexed by the poems meaning and thinks it may be a hidden conceit the Emperor wrote to himself.

皇宫的一个废弃区域，帝皇可能在那里制造了第一位阿斯塔特，上面刻着珀西·比希·雪莱的诗奥兹曼迪亚斯。发现碑文后，科拉克斯对这首诗的含义感到困惑，认为这可能是帝皇写给自己的一个隐藏的自负。
