The Imperium is the largest and most powerful political entity in the galaxy, consisting of at least a million worlds which are dispersed across most of the galaxy. An Imperial planet might be separated from its closest neighbour by hundreds or thousands of light years. As a stellar empire, the size of the Imperium cannot be measured in terms of contiguous territory, but only in the number of planetary systems in its control. The Imperium controls countless worlds, somewhere between a million, millions, a billion or even billions in total. The overall number of planets has never been exactly determined, entire departments of the Administratum are devoted to cataloguing every controlled world, a task without end, due to the constantly changing nature of the domain. New planets are constantly discovered, conquered or colonised while old ones are lost. The Imperium also controls untold millions of stars.
帝国是银河系中最大、最强大的政治实体，由至少一百万个分散在银河系大部分地区的世界组成。一颗帝国行星可能与其最近的邻居相隔数百或数千光年。作为一个星际帝国，帝国的规模不能以连续的领土来衡量，而只能以其控制的星系的数量来衡量。帝国控制着无数个世界，总数在一百万、数百万、十亿甚至数十亿之间。行星的总数从未被准确确定过，由于该领域不断变化的性质，内务部的整个部门都致力于对每个受控世界进行编目，这是一项没有尽头的任务。新的行星不断被发现、征服或殖民，而旧的行星则消失了。帝国仍控制着无数颗星辰。
Several aliens and forces - Chaos, Tyranids, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Orks, Tau, Necrons - challenge the supremacy of the Imperium. From within, the Imperium is threatened more insidiously by rebellion, mutation, rogue psykers, and subversive cults. Without the protection of the Imperium, mankind would fall prey to the countless perils that threaten it.
几个外星人和力量 — 混沌、泰伦、灵族、黑暗灵族、兽人、钛、死灵 — 挑战了帝国的霸权。从内部来看，帝国受到叛乱、变异、非法灵能者和颠覆性邪教的更阴险的威胁。没有帝国的保护，人类将成为威胁它的无数危险的牺牲品。
History of the Imperium 帝国的历史
The Imperium was founded by the Emperor, also called The Immortal Emperor, God-Emperor, and the Master of Mankind, at the end of the Age of Strife — a very long period of anarchy, war, and destructive regression which brought humanity to the brink of destruction and reversed the technological progression made during the Dark Age of Technology. In the Unification Wars, the Emperor led his proto-Astartes known as Thunder Warriors to victory in unifying Terra for the first time in millennia.
帝国是由帝皇建立的，也被称为不朽帝皇、神皇和人类之主，在纷争时代结束时 — 这是一个非常长的无政府状态、战争和破坏性的倒退时期，将人类带到了毁灭的边缘，扭转了黑暗技术时代取得的技术进步。在统一战争中，帝皇带领他的原型阿斯塔特（被称为雷霆战士）在数千年来首次统一了泰拉。
As the Warp storms of the Age of Strife subsided, after having secured the scientific posts and spacedocks of Luna, along with the factories and scientists on Mars, the Emperor began to unite mankind under his rule. A vast navy was built, with which his armies undertook the Great Crusade, which lasted for about two centuries. During this two hundred year-long military campaign, the Emperor employed his most potent military units, the Space Marine Legions, led by their leaders, the Primarchs. These, combined with the might of the Imperial Army (which was later separated into the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy), Custodian Guard, Sisters of Silence, and Martian Mechanicum forces that included the Collegia Titanica and Legio Cybernetica saw thousands of human worlds brought together under the Imperium. The Great Crusade ended with the corruption and treachery of the Primarch Horus, the instigator of the Horus Heresy.
随着纷争时代的亚空间风暴消退，在确保了月球的科学哨所和太空码头以及火星上的工厂和科学家之后，帝皇开始在他的统治下团结人类。建立了一支庞大的海军，他的军队用这支海军进行了持续了大约两个世纪的大远征。在这场长达两百年的军事行动中，帝皇动用了他最强大的军事部队 — 星际战士，由其领导人 — 原体领导。这些，再加上帝国军队（后来分为帝国卫队和帝国海军）、禁军、寂静修女和火星机械教部队的力量，包括泰坦修会和智控军团，看到了数千个人类世界在帝国统治下聚集在一起。大远征以原体荷鲁斯的腐化和背叛而告终，原体荷鲁斯是荷鲁斯叛乱的煽动者。
The rebellion was fought across the galaxy. Horus, seeking to achieve a swift and decisive victory, led most of the traitor forces in a direct strike at the capital of humanity, in the Battle of Terra. In the final decisive battle between the Emperor and the Arch-Traitor, Horus was slain, leading to the breakup of the rebellion and the exile of the traitors to the Eye of Terror. However the Master of Mankind was himself mortally wounded. According to his instructions he was placed on the life-preserving Golden Throne, where, for nearly ten thousand years, he has remained. Though physically a carcass incapable of movement or communication, his omnipotent will extends across the million worlds of the Imperium, beaming the psychic energy of the Astronomican, soul-binding psychic humans and struggling against the daemons of the Warp. He endures by his undying will, and by the sustenance that only the souls of sacrificial psykers can provide. By the numberless masses of humanity he is worshiped as a god.
叛乱在整个银河系进行。荷鲁斯试图取得迅速而决定性的胜利，在泰拉之战中领导大多数叛徒部队直接袭击了人类的首都。在帝皇和大叛徒之间的最后决定性战斗中，荷鲁斯被杀，导致叛乱破裂，叛徒被流放到恐惧之眼。然而，人类之主自己也受了致命的伤。根据他的指示，他被安置在保存生命的黄金王座上，在那里呆了近一万年。虽然身体上是一具无法移动或交流的尸体，但他的全能意志将延伸到帝国的数百万个世界，散发出星炬的灵能能量，灵魂结合的灵能者，并与亚空间的恶魔作斗争。他以自己永恒的意志和只有牺牲的灵能者的灵魂才能提供的维持来忍受。无数人把他当作神来崇拜。
The immediate period following the Heresy, The Scouring and Age of Rebirth, saw the Imperium slowly rebuild its might and control over the domain of man. It also saw the last of the Emperor's loyal Primarchs either fall in battle, become gravely wounded, or disappear altogether. Nonetheless in the subsequent age known as The Forging, the Imperium enjoyed a period of growth and expansion. The Imperium's period of relative peace ended abruptly in mid-M32 when an Ork Warboss known only as The Beast launched the greatest Waaagh! ever encountered. The Beast was only halted at great cost by the Adeptus Astartes.
叛乱之后的一段时间，即大清洗和重生时代，帝国慢慢重建了它的力量和对人类领域的控制。它还看到了帝皇最后一位忠诚的原体要么在战斗中倒下，要么受重伤，要么完全消失。尽管如此，在随后被称为大重铸的时代，帝国经历了一段成长和扩张的时期。帝国的相对和平时期在M32中期突然结束，当时一个只被称为野兽的欧克战争头目发动了曾经遇到过的最大的Waaagh！。野兽被阿斯塔特修会以巨大的代价阻止了。
The Imperium saw further periods of severe instability throughout M35 and M36, experiencing civil wars during the Nova Terra Interregnum and Age of Apostasy. This period saw the worst internal violence since the Heresy. Following the Age of Apostasy, the Imperium was again heavily reorganized and many heretics purged in the Age of Redemption. This new fervor culminated in a series of major Crusades and Wars of Faith most notably the Redemption Crusades and Macharian Crusade. However, while successful, this period exhausted the Imperium's military forces and in The Waning, many worlds were lost to xenos and Chaos attacks as well as internal rebellion.
帝国在M35和M36中经历了进一步的严重不稳定时期，在新泰拉真空期和叛教时代经历了内战。这一时期发生了自叛乱以来最严重的内战事件。叛教时代之后，帝国再次进行了大规模重组，许多异端在救赎时代被清除。这种新的热忱在一系列重大的远征和信仰战争中达到了顶峰，最著名的是救赎远征和马卡里乌斯远征。然而，尽管取得了成功，但这一时期耗尽了帝国的军事力量，在大衰退中，许多世界因异型和混沌的攻击以及内部叛乱而消失。
The effects of The Waning ultimately culminated in late M41, known as the Time of Ending. Here the exhausted Imperium not only faced rejuvenated old threats, but also terrifying new enemies like the Tyranids and Necrons as well new smaller but dynamic alien empires such as the Tau, Noisome Reek, and Ulumeathic League. Beset on all sides by heresy and alien invasion, the future of the Imperium seems bleak. The Black Crusade saw both the destruction of Cadia and the formation of the Great Rift, which has effectively split the Imperium in two. However some hope has been renewed thanks to the rebirth of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman, who has launched the Indomitus Crusade to reclaim worlds lost within the Dark Imperium.
大衰退的影响最终在M41晚期达到顶峰，即所谓的“终焉之刻”。在这里，精疲力尽的帝国不仅面临着复兴的旧威胁，还面临着可怕的新敌人，如泰伦和死灵，以及新的较小但充满活力的外星帝国，如钛、瑞克世界编织者和乌卢梅亚蒂克联盟。受到异端和外星人入侵的围攻，帝国的未来似乎很黯淡。黑色远征摧毁了卡迪亚，并形成了大大裂隙，实际上将帝国一分为二。 然而，随着原体罗伯特·基里曼的重生，一些希望得以重燃。他发起了不屈远征，旨在收复在黑暗帝国时期沦陷的世界。

Political Structure 政治结构
The Imperium is still nominally ruled by the Emperor of Mankind. However, since his ascension to the Golden Throne, the duty of actually ruling the Imperium falls to the Senatorum Imperialis — the Imperial Senate, led by the twelve High Lords of Terra. The identities and responsibilities of these High Lords may vary, as individuals inevitably die and their influence grows and wanes, but its members are always the leaders and representatives of the most powerful Imperial organisations.
帝国名义上仍由人类帝皇统治。然而，自从他登上黄金王座以来，实际统治帝国的职责落在了帝国参议院 — 由十二位泰拉高领主领导的帝国议会。这些高领主的身份和责任可能会有所不同，因为个人不可避免地会死亡，他们的影响力也会增长和减弱，但其成员始终是最强大的帝国组织的领导人和代表。
This system endured for ten thousand years until the end of the 41st Millennium, when the revived Primarch Roboute Guilliman became Lord Commander of the Imperium and ruled over even the High Lords.
这一制度持续了一万年，直到第41个千年结束，当时复活的原体罗伯特·基里曼成为帝国领主指挥官，甚至统治着高领主。
Imperial Organisations 帝国组织
The Imperial government is divided into four main bodies: the Adeptus Terra (The Priesthood of Terra), the Adeptus Mechanicus (the Priesthood of Mars), the Adeptus Ministorum (State Church), and Inquisition (Secret Police). These in turn answer to the Senatorum Imperialis, who rule in the name of the Emperor. In practice, most of the organisations comprising the Imperium are divisions of the vast Adeptus Terra. There are countless divisions, and some are so secretive their existence is known only to a few. The most well-known of the "secret" organisations is the Officio Assassinorum. Other organisations are secret enough that nothing besides their mere existence is known, such as the Officio Sabatorum and the Templars Psykologis.
帝国政府分为四个主要机构：中央政务部（泰拉祭司）、机械神教（火星祭司）、国教修会（国教）和审判庭（秘密警察）。这些反过来又回应了以帝皇名义统治的帝国参议院。在实际中，组成帝国的大多数组织都是庞大的泰拉中央部的部门。有无数的分支，有些分支非常隐秘，只有少数人知道它们的存在。最著名的“秘密”组织是刺客庭。其他组织是足够秘密的，除了他们的存在之外什么都不知道，比如破袭庭和灵能圣殿。

Military 军事
As the largest single known polity in the Galaxy, the Imperium maintains a wide array of military forces. At any given times there are countless billions fighting for the Imperium of Man. Similar to its political organization each branch of the Imperium’s military is independent, with their own duties, rituals, chain of command, tactical acumen and gear of war. Though diverse, the forces of the Imperium often work in conjunction with each other, and the larger the battle, the more likely it will be to see multiple Imperial factions engaged in the same war. Massive conflagrations, such as the Chaos invasions known as the Black Crusades or a major war zone such as the one surrounding the planet Armageddon, will attract representatives from all of Mankind’s military institutions.
作为银河系中已知最大的单一政体，帝国拥有广泛的军事力量。在任何时候，都有无数亿人为人类帝国而战。与帝国的政治组织类似，帝国军队的每个分支都是独立的，有自己的职责、仪式、指挥链、战术智慧和战争装备。尽管存在多样性，但帝国的部队经常相互配合，战斗规模越大，就越有可能看到多个帝国派系参与同一场战争。大规模的灾难，如被称为黑色远征的混沌入侵或围绕阿玛吉多顿的主要战区，将吸引来自人类所有军事机构的代表。

Imperial Domain 帝国领地
The Imperium is most commonly stated to consist of a million worlds spread out over the vast galaxy. The disparate and widespread nature of Imperial territory means that a strongly centralised government would be unfeasible. The Imperium divides the galaxy into five administrative zones called Segmentae Majoris:
帝国最常见的说法是由分布在广阔银河上的百万个世界组成。帝国领土的分散性和广泛性意味着强有力的中央集权政府是不可行的。帝国将银河系划分为五个行政区域，称为星域：
Current map of the Imperium 帝国当前地图
Segmentum Solar — inner core and heart of the Imperium.
太阳星域 — 帝国的核心和心脏。
Segmentum Pacificus 太平星域
Segmentum Obscurus — a heavily-fortified region due to the dangers posed by its most infamous element, the Eye of Terror.
朦胧星域 — 由于其最臭名昭著的恐惧之眼带来的危险，一个戒备森严的地区。
Segmentum Tempestus 暴风星域
Ultima Segmentum — the largest province of all; its furthest extents are beyond the range of the Astronomican.
极限星域 — 最大的领域；它的最远范围超出了星炬的范围。
Segmentae of the Imperium 帝国星域
The Segmentae are the Imperium's primary administrative division. Each is divided into sectors, which are areas of space. The sectors in turn consist of subsectors, each containing a number of star systems which in turn are made up of individual worlds. These divisions and subdivisions are levels forming an administrative hierarchy. Each Segmentum Commander oversees his Sector Commanders, who in turn oversees Subsector Commanders, who oversee the individual Planetary Governors. The higher ranks in this system are usually combined with a basic planetary governorship as well as interplanetary duties. This system is the means by which the Imperium maintains control of the separate planets that comprise it.
星域是帝国的主要行政区划。每个都被划分为星区，这些星区是空间区域。这些星区又由分区组成，每个分区都包含许多星系，而星系又由单个世界组成。这些部分和细分是形成行政等级的层次。每个星域指挥官监督他的星区指挥官，星区指挥官又监督监督各个行星总督的分区指挥官。这个系统中的高级职位通常与基本的行星总督职位以及行星际职责相结合。这个系统是帝国保持对组成它的独立行星的控制的手段。
The borders of the Imperium are marked by several uncharted regions of space which lay beyond the range of the Astronomican, areas which are frequently viewed with uncertainty and fear by Imperial citizens. These include the Halo Zone on the Imperium's western-most border, the Halo Stars to its northwest, the Ghoul Stars to its northeast, the Veiled Region and Mandragoran Stars to its south, and the Eastern Fringes to its eastern-most border.
帝国的边界以几个未知的太空区域为标志，这些区域超出了星域的范围，帝国公民经常对这些区域充满不确定性和恐惧。其中包括帝国最西部边界的光环区、西北部的光环群星、东北部的食尸鬼群星、南部的帷幕地区和曼德拉戈拉群星，以及最东部边界的东部边缘。
Pre-Great Rift Map of the Imperium 大裂隙前的帝国地图
Following the Thirteenth Black Crusade and the resurrection of Roboute Guilliman, much of the Imperium's northwestern frontier became cut off from Terra. Becoming known as Imperium Nihilus, Guilliman has launched a new Crusade to reclaim these worlds. The region south of the rift has become known as Imperium Sanctus.
在第十三次黑色远征和罗伯特·基里曼的复活之后，帝国西北部的大部分边境与泰拉隔绝。基里曼称其为帝国暗面，他发起了一场新的远征来夺回这些世界。大裂隙以南的地区被称为帝国圣疆。
Planetary Classification 行星分类
Due to its vast magnitude, the Imperium can afford for entire worlds to become specialised places where a majority, perhaps even the entirety, of the population is devoted to a single task. This could be heavy industry, military training, manufacturing, mining or agriculture. Planet-wide dedication serves to simplify logistics and increase outputs. While not all Imperial worlds can be classified, the most commonly encountered types are:
由于其巨大的规模，帝国可以让整个世界成为专业地区，在那里，大多数甚至全部人口都致力于一项任务。这可能是重工业、军事训练、制造业、矿业或农业。全球范围内的奉献精神有助于简化物流并提高产量。虽然并非所有帝国世界都可以分类，但最常见的类型是：

Planetary Administration 行星管理
Because of the distances involved and the unstable nature of Warp communication, Planetary Governors generally operate very autonomously. This allows quite a lot of variation in the regional governments. Most governorships are hereditary, but it is also possible for a planet to have an elected Planetary Governor, a tyrant Governor who rules by force of arms, or anything in between. So long as the Governor fulfills his duties to the Imperium, his rule will generally be accepted by the higher authorities. A rare few Planetary Governors preside over feral or medieval worlds where the Imperium has not, for whatever reason, seen fit to introduce modern technology. These Governors are often isolated from their subjects, sometimes even living on orbital installations, only interfering to control mutation and psykers, as well as to collect the modest tithes these planets pay.
由于涉及的距离和亚空间通信的不稳定性，行星管理通常非常自主地运行。这使得地方政府之间存在相当大的差异。大多数总督职位都是世袭的，但一个星球也有可能有一个民选的行星总督，一个靠武力统治的暴君总督，或者介于两者之间的任何人。只要总督履行其对帝国的职责，他的统治就会被上级当局普遍接受。极少数行星总督主持着蛮荒或封建世界，无论出于什么原因，帝国都认为不适合引入现代技术。这些总督经常与他们的臣民隔离开来，有时甚至生活在轨道设施上，只会干扰控制变种人和灵能者，以及收集这些行星支付的适度什一税。
The Imperial duties of a Planetary Governor include paying the planetary tithe to the Administratum, controlling psykers, mutation and heresy among the population, defending the planet and putting down rebellions against the local government (and thus against the Imperium). A serious responsibility is the maintenance of an adequate planetary defense force capable of defending the planet in the event of invasion. The Planetary Defence Forces (abbreviated to PDF) are expected to defeat attacks from minor foes, and in the case of major invasions to hold out until reinforcements arrive, which could take a period of months or even years.
行星总督的帝国职责包括向内务部支付行星什一税，控制人口中的灵能者、变种人和异端，保卫星球，平息对地方政府的叛乱（从而反对帝国）。一项重大责任是维持一支足够的行星防御力量，在发生入侵时能够保卫星球。行星防御部队（缩写为PDF）预计将击败小股敌人的攻击，并在重大入侵的情况下坚持到增援部队到达，这可能需要几个月甚至几年的时间。
A relatively small number of Imperial worlds are not ruled by a Governor, but are overseen by an alternate organisation such as the Adeptus Terra, Ecclesiarchy, Imperial Guard or Space Marines. These include the Forge Worlds of the Adeptus Mechanicus, whose inhabitants toil without pause to manufacture the weapons of the Emperor's armies (including Mars, Gryphonne IV and Fortis Binary), the Cardinal Worlds of the Ecclesiarchy, which are given entirely over to education and worship of the Emperor (Ignatius Cardinal, Ophelia VII), and the Space Marine Chapter planets (such as Fenris, Macragge, Baal, and Medusa).
相对较少的帝国世界不是由总督统治的，而是由另一个组织监督的，如中央政务部、教会、帝国卫队或星际战士。这些包括机械教的铸造世界，其居民不停地辛勤劳动，制造帝皇军队的武器（包括火星、格里芬四号和至强双星），教会的红衣主教世界，完全用于帝皇的教育和崇拜（伊格内修斯红衣主教、奥菲利亚七号），以及星际战士战团的行星（如芬里斯、马库拉格、巴尔和美杜莎）。
Rebellion 反叛
The Imperial creed maintains that all of humanity must be brought into and kept within the Imperium. Several Imperial organisations are permanently occupied with suppressing any possibility of rebellion before they have a chance of developing. The common worship of the Emperor holds mankind together and instills loyalty towards the Imperium. Rebellions and uprisings on Imperial planets nonetheless remain constant. The nature and causes of a rebellion can fall into several categories: the government of an Imperial world may decide to secede from the Imperium, or may attempt to overthrow the local Imperial government. In the most insidious of cases the rebellion may be brought about by xenos or Chaos influence. In the more prosaic cases however, a government established through rebellion is not necessarily opposed by the Imperium, so long as it accedes fully to Imperial authority.
帝国信条认为，必须将全人类带入帝国并留在帝国内。几个帝国组织一直致力于在有机会发展之前压制任何叛乱的可能性。对帝皇的共同崇拜将人类团结在一起，并灌输对帝国的忠诚。尽管如此，帝国星球上的叛乱和起义仍在持续。叛乱的性质和原因可以分为几类：帝国世界的政府可能决定脱离帝国，也可能试图推翻当地的帝国政府。在最阴险的情况下，叛乱可能是由异型或混沌势力引起的。然而，在更平淡无奇的情况下，通过叛乱建立的政府不一定受到帝国的反对，只要它完全接受帝国的权威。
Besides outright war, there are many ways a rebellious world may be brought back into the Imperium. With its more secretive organisations, the Imperium is fully capable of carrying out subvert methods of restoring Imperial rule, including assassination, popular agitation, economic sabotage and terrorism. Sometimes a rebellion can be subdued by the removal of a single individual. Pro-Imperial groups or other anti-government forces can be infiltrated or supported.
除了彻底的战争，还有很多方法可以让一个反叛的世界重新回到帝国。凭借其更加隐秘的组织，帝国完全有能力实施颠覆手段来恢复帝国统治，包括暗杀、煽动民众、经济破坏和恐怖主义。有时，通过罢免一个人，可以平息叛乱。亲帝国团体或其他反政府势力可以被渗透或支持。
Culture 文化
While types of regimes and cultures differ greatly from world to world, there are commonly shared values and policies maintained by the Imperial central government. The worship of the Emperor as a god and the need for subject planets to pay the Imperial Tithe are rigidly enforced by agencies such as the Ecclesiarchy, Adeptus Arbites, and the feared Inquisition. In addition, the Imperium is militantly xenophobic and will annihilate entire non-human species. Besides aliens, Mutants and psykers also face ruthless persecution, though certain types of Abhumans such as Ogryns and Ratlings are tolerated. The Imperium views their violently xenophobic, anti-mutant, and anti-psyker policies as necessary for the survival of the human race amid a galaxy of violent aliens and dark gods.
虽然各个世界的政权和文化类型差异很大，但帝国中央政府维护着共同的价值观和政策。将帝皇视为神的崇拜以及附属行星支付帝国什一税的需要，由教会、法务部和令人恐惧的审判庭等组织严格执行的。此外，帝国是好战的仇外心理，将消灭整个非人类物种。除了外星人，变种人和灵能者也面临着无情的迫害，尽管某些类型的亚人，如欧格林和莱特林是可以容忍的。帝国认为他们的暴力仇外、反变种人和反灵能者政策是人类在暴力外星人和黑暗诸神的星系中生存所必需的。
In addition to aliens, mutants, and psykers, most forms of robotics and artificial intelligence are outlawed in the Imperium. This taboo was inherited from human civilizations of the Dark Age of Technology, who were nearly annihilated at the hands of the legendary Iron Men. Thus while certain forms of robotics such as Servitors and Machine Spirits are sanctioned, any kind of true artificial sentience is declared to be a heretical Abominable Intelligence.
除了外星人、变种人和灵能者，帝国还禁止大多数形式的机器人和人工智能。这一禁忌是从黑暗技术时代的人类文明中继承下来的，他们几乎被传说中的铁人所毁灭。因此，尽管某些形式的机器人，如机仆和机魂，受到了认可，但任何一种真正的人工感知都被宣布为异端的憎恶智能。
Everyday life differs greatly in the Imperium depending on which world one finds themselves on. However there is a common uniting factor: all activities are based around service to the Emperor and his regime. Life is often monotonous, with those on Hive Worlds spending their days as factory laborers before a short sleep cycle inside a cramped living quarters. Materialism outside of the nobility is virtually unknown. Whatever entertainment exists is heavily monitored by the Ecclesiarchy and is usually religious or political in nature. Most recreation is achieved through religious festivals, music, and drinking. Many, particularly those who can not find fulfillment outside of worship to the Emperor, resort to drug use to escape the reality of their lives. There are parks and shows for the nobility, but these are too expensive for a commoner to enjoy. On particular regressive worlds, gladiatorial combat may be used for entertainment. Against this backdrop most families will attempt to live a quiet humble life, hoping to never encounter the gaze of Imperial authorities or the horrors of the Galaxy.
帝国的日常生活因所处的世界而异。然而，有一个共同的因素：所有活动都是为了服务帝皇及其政权。生活往往是单调的，那些在巢都世界的人在狭窄的生活区内度过短暂的睡眠周期之前，都是工厂工人。贵族之外的物质界几乎不为人知。无论存在什么娱乐活动，都受到教会的严密监控，通常是宗教或政治性质的。大多数娱乐活动都是通过宗教节日、音乐和饮酒来实现的。许多人，尤其是那些在崇拜帝皇之外找不到满足感的人，为了逃避现实生活而吸毒。有公园和贵族的表演，但这些对平民来说太贵了。在特定的回归世界中，角斗士战斗可能被用于娱乐。在这种背景下，大多数家庭都会试图过上安静谦逊的生活，希望永远不会遇到帝国当局的目光或银河系的恐怖。
Making the sign of the Aquila is a common display of loyalty and respect within the Imperium. This is achieved through moving ones hands together into the shape of a double-headed eagle.
行天鹰礼是帝国内部忠诚和尊重的常见表现。这是通过将双手合在一起变成双头鹰的形状来实现的。
Imperial Languages 帝国语言
Low Gothic is the common tongue of the Imperium, spoken on most Imperial planets as a first or second language. Imperial worlds have inevitably developed their own dialects of Low Gothic over time. High Gothic (represented as Latinised English) dates from an age before the Imperium, and is used solely as a hieratic tongue by the divisions of the Adeptus Terra, the Inquisition and the Ecclesiarchy. Another prominent language of the Imperium is the Lingua Technis, the tongue of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
低哥特语是帝国的通用语言，在大多数帝国星球上作为第一或第二语言使用。随着时间的推移，帝国世界不可避免地发展出了自己的低哥特语方言。高哥特语（表示为拉丁英语）的历史可以追溯到帝国时代之前，并且仅被中央政务部、审判庭和教会的部门用作等级语言。帝国的另一种著名语言是技术之语，即机械神教的语言。
Religion 宗教
The Imperium's state religion, the Imperial Cult, is the one and only faith under Imperial law. While forms of worship may differ, they share a common belief that the Emperor is a God and the master of Mankind. This state religion is overseen by the Ecclesiarchy, the Imperial church and one of the most powerful and influential organizations among humanity. Any kind of deviation or apostasy against the Imperial Cult is classified as heresy and punishable by death. The exception falls to the Cult Mechanicus, the state religion of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Since the Treaty of Olympus millennia ago their faith has been granted tolerance. While the Cult Mechanicus differs greatly from the tenets of the Ecclesiarchy in its reverence of the machine, it nonetheless worships the Emperor as the divine avatar of the Machine God known as the Omnissiah.
帝国的国教，帝国教派，是帝国法律下唯一的信仰。虽然教派的形式可能不同，但他们有一个共同的信念，即帝皇是神，是人类之主。这个国教由教会、帝国教派和人类中最强大、最有影响力的组织之一监督。任何对帝国教派的偏离或叛教都被归类为异端，可判处死刑。例外的是机械教，机械教的国教。自数千年前奥林匹斯条约签订以来，他们的信仰一直被赋予宽容。虽然机械教在尊重机械方面与教会教义有很大不同，但它仍然将帝皇视为万机神的神圣化身，即欧姆尼赛亚。
However other illegal faiths are practiced covertly by denizens of the Imperium, most notably among persecuted classes such as mutants. Unfortunately, it is common that often times this involves worship of the Dark Gods.
然而，帝国的居民秘密地信奉其他非法信仰，尤其是在变种人等受迫害的阶层中。不幸的是，这通常涉及对黑暗诸神的崇拜。
Economy 经济
Wealth in the Imperium is distributed highly unequally, and those below are expected to serve those above. The Imperium primarily collects its wealth through its Tithes maintained on each world. Many types of currency exist in the Imperium, such as Credits, Crowns, Aquilas, and Thrones. Often goods, resources, and manpower are substituted as currency on a planetary level.
帝国的财富分配极不平等，下层的人应该为上层的人服务。帝国主要通过在每个世界上什一税的维持来收集财富。帝国中存在许多类型的货币，如信用币、王冠币、天鹰币和王座币。通常，商品、资源和人力在全球范围内被替代为货币。
Examples of standard income in the Imperium is as follows, with the Thrones currency used. This however applies only to Acolytes of each profession.
帝国时期的标准收入示例如下，其中使用了王座币。然而，这仅适用于每个职业的侍从。

Travel 航行
Interstellar Travel in the Imperium is a perilous affair. Most travel is conducted by the Imperial Fleet, specifically the Merchant Fleet which oversees 90% of interstellar traffic. In order to travel at Faster-than-light and thus reach their destination within a reasonable amount of time, Imperial vessels must activate their vessels Warp Drive and enter the Immaterium. While inside the Warp, genetically modified Humans known as Navigators use the Terran-based Astronomican as a beacon to guide their vessel to its destination. Many threats exist during Warp Travel, from the terrifying prospect of Gellar Field failure to temporal inconsistencies to massive Warp Storms.
帝国星际航行是一件危险的事情。大多数航行是由帝国舰队进行的，特别是负责监督90%星际交通的商船队。为了以超光速行驶并在合理的时间内到达目的地，帝国船只必须激活他们的船只亚空间驱动并进入非物质界。在亚空间内，被称为导航者的转基因人使用基于泰拉的星炬作为信标，引导他们的船只到达目的地。在亚空间航行期间存在许多威胁，从盖勒立场失败的可怕前景到时间上的不一致，再到大规模的亚空间风暴。
Communication 通信
While short-range more conventional methods exist, within the Imperium the only reliable means of rapid interstellar communication is by utilizing a type of Psychic Human known as an Astropath. Astropaths send telepathic messages into the Warp which are then intercepted by other Astropaths and passed along until they reach their intended destination. Astropathic Communication is fraught with inconsistencies and are not always reliable, with messages becoming garbled or being delivered well after or even before the time in which they were originally sent.
虽然存在短程更传统的方法，但在帝国内部，快速星际通信的唯一可靠手段是利用一种被称为星语者的灵能者。星语者将心灵感应信息发送到亚空间中，然后被其他星语者拦截并传递，直到他们到达预定目的地。星语通信充满了不一致性，并不总是可靠的，信息在最初发送的时间之后甚至之前就变得混乱或被传递。
Imperial Dating System 帝国记年系统
The Imperial dating system is based upon "Anno Domini", although expressed in rather different terms. A full dating code consists of a "check" number, "year fraction" number, "year" number, and the millennium. The millennium is a suffix, represented by an "M" and the millennium number. The three digits preceding the millennium is the year within the millennium, running from 001-000 (one thousand). For example 0150930/M32 is the year 930 of the thirty second millennium (31,930 A.D.).
帝国的记年系统基于“公元”，尽管用了相当不同的术语。一个完整的日期代码由一个“校验”数字、“分年份”数字、一个“年份”数字和千年数字组成。千年是一个后缀，由“M”和千年数字表示。千年前的三位数字是千年内的年份，从001开始到000（一千）。例如，0150930/M32是第三十二个千年的930年（公元31930年）。
Since the formation of the Great Rift, the Imperium has introduced a radical new dating system to compensate for the extreme inconsistencies of time that has taken place across the galaxy. This is based around the planet's time in relation to the formation of the Rift itself.
自大裂隙形成以来，帝国引入了一种全新的记年系统，以弥补银河系中发生的极端不一致的时间。这是基于星球的时间与大裂隙本身的形成有关。
