Blanks, also known as Untouchables, Pariahs, Psychic Nulls and Blacksouls are an exceedingly rare strain of Human mutant, whose mutation tied to a so-called pariah gene allows their minds to exude a negative psionic field, that both disrupts psychic phenomena in a radius and ultimately makes them immune to all tangible and imaginable psionic effect. They possess a negative presence in the Warp, that drains its energies towards their void-like soul. In scientific terminology of the Imperium a blank is an Omega-Minus psyker, otherwise called just Omega class negative psionic.
空白者,也被称为不可接触者、遗弃者、灵能空洞和黑魂,是一种极其罕见的人类突变体,其突变与所谓的遗弃者基因有关,使他们的思维能够散发出反向的灵能场,这既破坏了半径范围内的灵能现象,又最终使他们对所有有形和可想象的灵能效应免疫。他们在亚空间中拥有一种负面的存在,将其能量引向他们空虚的灵魂。在帝国的科学术语中,空白者是欧米伽负灵能者,也称为欧米伽级反灵能。

Biology 生理
As opposed to positive psykers that are found within many species of Xenos in the Galaxy, blanks, and even lesser negative psionics are exclusive to the Human species. The pariah gene is inheritable, and while positive psionic powers have no known correlation with genetics, there exists a direct correlation between a blank parent and a blank offspring. Some populations are known to harbour a higher frequency of untouchable births, feral folk of the world of Vessor is one of such notable people. Genetically, a link between negative and positive psykers is not specified. Still, the Assignment of psionic abilities marks blank as a negative psionic, on whom no known extreme of psychic force can have an effect. Defining them by a classification as a psyker of level Omega-Minus, or an 'Untouchable'. The term marks the difference from other classes of negative psionics, which for a lack of a better word are 'touchable' by some psychic powers, extreme or weak, and thus not considered blanks. The pariah gene expresses fully in the Untouchables, while in other, lesser negative psionics, only partially. Although, there are reasons to suggest that the blanks power is not derived as an expression of a single gene at all. The Emperor of Mankind placed a moratorium on research into the source, after experiments by the Imperial Archotechnologist Corps and the Mechanicum in the early years of the Great Crusade ended in disaster. Furthermore, the origin of the supposed gene is unknown, and the explanatory proposals vary from it being the result of human experimentation during the Dark Age of Technology, xenos tampering, or a natural evolutionary adaptation against the Warp.
与银河系中许多异型物种中发现的正灵能者相反,空白者甚至更少的反灵能者都是人类独有的。遗弃者基因是可遗传的,虽然正灵能与遗传学没有已知的相关性,但空白者父母和空白者后代之间存在直接的相关性。众所周知,一些人群的遗弃者出生频率更高,维瑟世界的野蛮人就是其中一个值得注意的人群。从遗传学上讲,正向和反向灵能者之间没有明确联系。尽管如此,对灵能能力的判定将空白者标记为反灵能者,任何已知的极端灵能力量都不会对其产生影响。通过分类将其定义为欧米伽级反灵能者,或不可接触者。这个词标志着与其他类别的反灵能的区别,因为没有更好的词,这些反灵能者可以被一些极致或微弱的灵能“触及”,因此不被视为空白者。遗弃者基因在遗弃者中完全表达,而在其他较不反向的灵能者中仅部分表达。尽管如此,有理由表明空白者的能力根本不是单个基因的表达。在大远征早期,帝国考古技术兵团和机械神教的实验以灾难告终后,人类帝皇暂停了对来源的研究。此外,推断基因的起源尚不清楚,解释性的提议也各不相同,既不是黑暗技术时代人类实验的结果,也不是异型篡改的结果,或者是对亚空间的自然进化适应。
In one analysis of a blank mind, it is stated that in comparison to psychic powers emergent from impulses between synapses, Untouchables blank those, triggering a vacancy in the natural and fundamental processes of the brain. It is assumed that this disparity causes their mind to display the nullifying effect on psychic phenomena, and the same inversion of normal brain functions makes their presence insufferable for normal human minds. While the effect on the mind of a psychic individual is apparent from the visible pain of a psyker, the blank still has a tangible effect on baseline humans in their proximity. The effect causes both forgetfulness and unease in the blank's presence. Ultimately, the disturbed mind produces an irrational hostility; these feelings may be mild yet nonetheless instantly apparent in regular people, but in psykers they are unbearably strong.
在一项对空白者思维的分析中,有人说,与突触之间的脉冲产生的灵能力量相比,不可接触者的大脑会使这些脉冲空白,从而引发大脑自然和基本过程的空缺。人们认为,这种差异会导致他们的大脑对灵能现象产生抵消作用,而正常大脑功能的逆转也会使他们的存在对正常人的大脑来说难以忍受。虽然从灵能者可见的疼痛中可以明显看出对灵能个体的影响,但空白者仍然对附近的普通人类有切实的影响。这种效果会在空白者的存在下引起健忘和不安。最终,精神错乱会产生非理性的敌意;这些感觉可能很轻微,在普通人身上却很明显,而在灵能者身上,它们却强烈得令人难以忍受。
The presence of a blank's mind in the Immaterium is likened to black holes in the Materium, not unlike the analogy of a powerful psyker's mind to the stars. The psyker's soul lures towards it harmful psychic phenomena, mainly including daemons, while the blank's soul is dreaded both by the native denizens of the warpspace and any being with a soul. This is akin to ravenous void, as it forcefully devours all psychic energies, thus directly pulling towards them both daemons' and other beings' essence. The sensation of unease that other people fear is also partially attributed to the idea that everyone has some degree of psychic sense, which is triggered when faced with the blank. Furthermore the black hole analogy holds firm, as in similar fashion as black holes can't be directly seen in realspace, nor can a blank's soul be observable in the Warp, without observation of the surrounding energies and warpspace. This presents a problem to daemons or similar immaterial creatures like Enslavers, as while able to observe the real space the predominant sight for them comes from the Immaterium, thus making it only possible to guess the location of the blank, which further fuels their dread for the pariahs. The fear that blanks cause in the warp entities makes it hard for them to naturally harm the pariah, although the possession or trading of the blank's soul is not out of the realm of possibility. Of note is that it is required for the blank to be fully cooperative, either forced into the agreement by physical and/or psychological torture, or truly willing to deal with daemons.
在非物质界中,空白者思维的存在被比作物质界中的黑洞,这与强大的灵能者的思维与恒星的类比并无二致。灵能者的灵魂会吸引有害的灵能现象,主要包括恶魔,而空白者的灵魂则会被亚空间的本土居民和任何有灵魂的人所恐惧。这类似于贪婪的虚空,因为它强行吞噬所有的灵能能量,从而直接将恶魔和其他生物的本质拉向他们。其他人害怕的不安感也部分归因于这样一种观点,即每个人都有一定程度的灵能感知,这是在面对空白者时触发的。此外,黑洞的类比仍然成立,因为在现实空间中无法直接看到黑洞,在没有观察周围能量和亚空间的情况下,在亚空间中也无法观察到空白者的灵魂。这给恶魔或类似的非物质生物(如奴役者)带来了一个问题,因为虽然他们能够观察到真实空间,但他们的主要视线来自非物质界,因此只能猜测空白者的位置,这进一步加剧了他们对遗弃者的恐惧。空白者在亚空间实体中引起的恐惧使它们很难自然地伤害遗弃者,尽管拥有或交易空白者的灵魂并非不可能。值得注意的是,空白者需要完全合作,要么是通过身体和/或心理折磨被迫达成协议,要么是真正愿意与恶魔打交道。
Social ostracism 社会排斥
The natural discordance of a blank mind with another causes upset in both parties. Part of it comes from an inherent revolting sensation upon contact with pariahs but perhaps moreso from widespread ignorance of blanks and their condition. The common Human reaction to this phenomenon is for blanks to be either killed or banished from their native society, due to the lingering fear of the unknown power that the null individual holds. It is not rare for a blank to commit suicide, unable to deal with the loneliness caused by their condition and the distressing lack of understanding as to why the society so indiscriminately casts them out. Blanks have a difficult time getting along with people, so they tend to lead short, asocial and unhappy lives, often at the fringes of society.
一个空白者的头脑与另一个头脑的自然不一致导致双方都感到不安。部分原因来自与遗弃者接触时固有的反感,但也许更多的原因是对空白者及其状况的普遍无知。人类对这一现象的常见反应是,由于对虚无个体所拥有的未知力量的挥之不去的恐惧,空白者要么被杀死,要么被驱逐出他们的原生社会。一个空白者自杀并不罕见,他们无法应对自己的状况造成的孤独,也无法理解为什么社会如此不加选择地把他们赶出去。空白者很难与人相处,所以他们往往过着短暂、不合群和不快乐的生活,往往处于社会的边缘。
It is regarded as fact even amongst some of the more educated people that blanks are beings devoid of a soul. This belief is predicated on the fact that their presence in the Warp is not as apparent as any other creature's. The belief in their soullessness is so widespread that it is even accepted by the blanks themselves, to the point of incredulity when it is demonstrated otherwise. While most pariahs accept their apparent soullessness, it nevertheless causes a perceivable level of distress both to consider the idea and the repeated statement of it by their peers. Some members of the Inquisition, whether out of knowledge or ignorance, posit a term of 'blacksouls' for blanks.
即使在一些受过良好教育的人中,空白者也被认为是没有灵魂的存在。这种信念是基于这样一个事实,即他们在亚空间中的存在并不像其他任何生物那样明显。对他们没有灵魂的信念是如此普遍,甚至被空白者本身所接受,当它以其他方式被证明时,甚至会令人难以置信。虽然大多数遗弃者接受他们明显的无魂,但考虑到这个想法和同辈的重复陈述,他们仍然会感到一定程度的痛苦。审判庭的一些成员,无论是出于知识还是无知,都用“黑魂”一词来表示空白者。
The negative aura of the null effect never fades away, and people that are in constant contact with the pariah never grow numb to it. Still, it isn't impossible to overcome the instinctual reaction and tolerate or even form a relationship with the pariah. The primary reason as to why the blank strain hasn't died out is that some blanks are able to overcome their innate limitations and find partners with whom they produce offspring, who then inherit their parent's genetic mutation. In exceedingly rare cases, extremely empathetic or spiritual persons can nigh instantaneously counter their minds' abhorrence at the null individual's nature and treat them without the otherwise commonplace disgust.
虚无效应的负面光环永远不会消失,与遗弃者不断接触的人永远不会对此麻木。尽管如此,克服本能反应并容忍甚至与遗弃者建立关系并非不可能。空白者没有灭绝的主要原因是,一些空白者能够克服其先天的局限性,找到与他们一起繁殖后代的伴侣,然后这些后代继承了父母的基因突变。在极少数情况下,极有同理心或精神的人几乎可以立即反驳他们头脑中对虚无个体本性的厌恶,并在没有其他常见厌恶的情况下对待他们。
Natural 自然
Just as psyker powers vary from individual to individual, so do the powers of negative psionics of power lesser than those of the blanks. However, there is no known variation within the innate power of a blank, and its precision or intensity is determined only by skill and training. The effect of a pariah gene is absolute, moreover the blank is defined by it, as to be called Untouchables, no psychic power existing within the Immaterium can be able to harm them.
正如灵能者的力量因人而异一样,反灵能的力量也比空白者的力量小。然而,空白者的内在力量没有已知的变化,其精度或强度仅由技能和训练决定。遗弃者基因的影响是绝对的,而且空白者是由它定义的,被称为不可触碰者,内在的灵能力量无法伤害他们。
The base effect of the blanks anti-psychic aura is obvious, psychic phenomena are impaired within their proximity, and there is no way to interact with them using psychic powers. Making it impossible to probe them telepathically or become aware of their presence through psychic screening like Psyniscience or Sensing Presence. Powers in a radius, for a lack of a better term, tied to the blanks' willpower, also cease to function. People surrounding the blank as such are also shielded from psychic investigation. So do effects already put in motion, force and daemons weapons or occult artefacts are rendered powerless in blanks proximity, or the glamours intended to hide their users' true nature. It is possible for a blank to be affected by psychic power indirectly, such as by telekinetically hurling a projectile at them. Possession is seemingly out of the question, although they can give themselves to the daemons willingly, making it only impossible for a daemon to slither in unnoticed by the blank.
空白者反灵能光环的基础效果是显而易见的,灵能现象在他们附近受到损害,并且无法使用灵能力量与让们互动。无法通过心灵感应来探测他们,也无法通过灵视或感知存在等灵能筛查来意识到他们的存在。半径范围内的力量,由于缺乏更好的措辞,与空白者的意志力有关,也停止了作用。空白者周围的人也可以免受灵能侦查。已经启动的效果也是如此,原力和恶魔武器或神秘造物在空白者附近变得无能为力,或者那些旨在隐藏使用者真实本性的诱惑者。空白者可能会受到灵能力量的间接影响,例如通过念动力向他们投掷弹丸。占据似乎是不可能的,尽管他们可以心甘情愿地把自己交给恶魔,这使得恶魔不可能在空白者处不被注意的溜走。
Furthermore, the aura is noxious to any living being around them, as it counteracts the normal brainwaves of any creature, inflicting a sensation of wrongness. To beings tied to the warp like psykers, the effect is nigh unbearable, disarming them instantly and inflicting direct revulsion, while beings native to the warp act in open fear and dread. The focused power of a blank can even destroy the daemon, granting it a True Death. Amongst xenos, the most affected are the Eldar, and although some of them lack psychic might, they all react to the blanks with the same revulsion and trauma as human psykers. Furthermore, the psychic nullification is particularly destructive towards eldar technology, as the wraithbone that constitutes its bulk is known to melt in the blanks' proximity, and especially when in skin contact with the pariah. While it is a matter of conjecture whether a blank can affect the functioning of the tyranid hive mind, the ability is known to work on the genestealers. Rare interactions between proper tyranid lifeforms and blanks shown little to no effect, and instances of them being affected are found questionable by the Inquisition's investigation.
此外,光环对周围的任何生物都是有害的,因为它会抵消任何生物的正常脑电波,造成一种错误的感觉。对于像灵能者一样被束缚在亚空间上的生物来说,这种效果几乎是无法忍受的,会立即解除它们的武装并引起直接的反感,而亚空间的原生生物则会在展开的恐怖和恐惧中行动。空白者的集中力量甚至可以摧毁恶魔,使其获得真正的死亡。在异型中,受影响最大的是灵族,尽管他们中的一些人缺乏灵能力量,但他们对空白者的反应都与人类灵能者一样强烈。此外,这种灵能上的无效性对灵族技术尤其具有破坏性,因为众所周知,构成其主体的灵骨会在空白者的靠近下熔化,尤其是在与遗弃者皮肤接触时。虽然空白者是否会影响泰伦蜂巢思维的功能是一个猜测的问题,但众所周知,这种能力会对基因窃取者产生影响。适当的泰伦生命形式和空白者之间的少量互动几乎没有效果,审判庭的调查发现,它们受到影响的情况值得怀疑。
Trained 训练
Rarely noticeable, a trait of its own nature, effect of the blank is the willingness for a human mind to omit facts of blanks' existence. While it isn't blatantly obvious, a blank trained to move and act with little notice will be rendered imperceivable even for physical inspection. This ability is of particular interest to the Sisters of Silence. Skilled individuals are known to unnaturally not emit even sounds that are physically bound to be at least muffled. Achieving the mastery of it makes it hard to notice the blank, only effects that their actions have. People will observe a door curiously open, with a shimmer that their mind tells them it's better not to look at, or will see it an act of divine intervention when their enemy falls to a force, too joyful to acknowledge its abyssal nature. So do enemies fail to notice the pariah approaching, sometimes able to glimpse their end's face at the last moment.
空白者的影响是人类大脑愿意忽略空白者存在的事实,这是一种罕见的、自身性质的特征。虽然这并不是显而易见的,但一个受过训练的空白者可以在几乎没有人注意到的情况下移动和行动,即使进行身体检查,也会变得不可感知。寂静修女对这种能力特别感兴趣。众所周知,技术熟练的人会自然地不发出声音,即使这些声音在身体上至少是低沉的。掌握它会让人很难注意到空白者的行为所产生的影响。人们会看到一扇门奇怪地打开,闪烁着光芒,他们的大脑告诉他们最好不要看,或者当他们的敌人落入一种伟力手中时,他们会看到这是一种神圣的干预行为,这种力量太令人高兴了,使人无法承认其深渊的本质。敌人也没有注意到遗弃者的逼近,有时甚至能在最后一刻瞥见他们的终结。
In similar fashion, the assassins of the Culexus clade found out it's possible to train blank so that by the force of their will they can be able to silence the dreadful aura, for the purpose of remaining undetected with their chosen prey, the psykers. Although the effect can be achieved naturally, this puts a strain on the blank. With the sensation of releasing the pent-up energies described with a degree of relief. While unbothered by the stealthy appearance they can don their masks, fitted with gear that allows them to modulate the effect without the mentioned strain. Allowing them to not amass suspicion of a targeted psyker and their allies, warned by the approaching aura of pain and suffering.
以类似的方式,邱利萨斯分支的刺客发现可以进行空白者训练,这样他们就可以通过意志力来压制恐惧光环,以便不被他们选择的猎物灵能者发现。虽然效果可以自然实现,但这给空白者带来了压力。随着释放被压抑的能量的感觉被描述为一种解脱。虽然他们不受隐藏外观的束缚,但他们可以戴上口罩,戴上装备,可以在没有上述应变的情况下调节效果。允许他们不会被目标灵能者及其盟友产生怀疑,因为疼痛和痛苦的光环正在逼近。
Augmented 扩张
With an assist of technology, blanks are able to control awe-inspiring powers. The mentioned Culexus mask contains as well a piece of gear called Animus Speculum, which magnifies and weaponizes both the soul draining horror of a blank, and the psykers own power, turning against them in the negative feedback loop of the Speculum. Mere turning on the device makes the surrounding people writhe in pain, while the blood vessels pop in reaction to their strained flesh. The beam's focus is known to violently snuff out the life of any sentient creature, only rising in lethality with the psychic power that it opposes. Its power described to violently wave in ghastly light of anti-psychic energy, burning the target's brain out and sucking its soul in. So does a direct touch of the blank having its speculum activated, able to turn a person into dust in mere seconds.
在技术的帮助下,空白者能够控制令人敬畏的力量。提到的邱利萨斯面具还包含一件名为恶意透镜的装备,它放大并武器化了空白者的令人灵魂枯竭的恐怖,以及灵能者自己的力量,在透镜的负反馈回路中与他们对抗。仅仅打开设备就会让周围的人痛苦地扭动身体,血管会因肌肉拉伤而爆裂。众所周知,光束的焦点会猛烈地扼杀任何有感知力的生物的生命,只会随着它所对抗的灵能力量而致命。它的力量被描述为在可怕的反灵能能量光中剧烈波动,烧灼目标的大脑,吸入其灵魂。空白者的直接触摸也会激活透镜,能够在几秒钟内将人变成灰尘。
Inquisitor Perfidia Vong recovered a bunch of devices of heretical origin manufactured on the moons of Gorma, they constitute of blank embryos trapped within a stasis casket. When activated, it emulates the power of Animus Speculum, making it a portable anti-psychic weapon, otherwise available only to the Assassinorum. It displays the same abilities of the focused blank aura, which besides already known ability to destroy psyches of people, includes shattering of warp constructs, like force weapons, and being a powerful weapon against the daemons, crippling them severely.
审判官佩尔菲迪亚·冯找到了一堆在戈尔玛卫星上制造的异端装置,它们由困在静滞棺材里的空白者胚胎组成。激活后,它会模拟恶意透镜的力量,使其成为一种便携式的反灵能武器,否则只有刺客才能使用。它显示出与聚焦的空白者光环相同的能力,除了已知的摧毁人类心灵的能力外,还包括粉碎亚空间结构,如灵能武器,并成为对抗恶魔的强大武器,严重削弱它们。
Akin to the negative feedback loop of the Speculum operate Sinistramus Tenebrae, mounted to the Psi-Titans. The blank operating the titan is through a circuitry of Ciricrux Anima connected to unwillingly surgically bound psykers and able to focus their antipathy into a destructive beam. The beam of darkness opens a rift to Immaterium, killing everyone within the immediate area of impact, their souls sucked in towards the titan, able to fire the moment after, as long as there are psykers to burn. Besides this beam, while the psykers within the titan are expended as batteries, the blank is paradoxically able to display their powers in an otherwise unseen scale and intensity, although understandably with a less modicum of skill. For example, the first deployment was bloodless, as the blank spread the miasma of fear and abject terror throughout its walk over the cities of planet of Skagan VI, leaving the populace in a state of panic, while the second deployment against the eldar saw their craftworld shuddered in a revulsion to its power, in the end failing the systems and circuits of the eldar's world-ship.
与透镜的负反馈回路类似,黯灭炮被安装在灵能泰坦上。操作泰坦的空白者是通过迫灵十字的回路连接到不情愿的手术束缚的灵能者,并能够将他们的憎恶集中到破坏性的光束中。黑暗光束为非物质界打开了一条裂缝,杀死了直接影响区域内的所有人,他们的灵魂被吸入泰坦,只要有灵能者可以燃烧,他们就可以在那一刻开火。除了这个光束,虽然泰坦体内的灵能者被用作电池消耗,但令人矛盾的是,空白者能够以一种看不见的规模和强度显示它们的力量,尽管可以理解的是,这需要少量的技巧。例如,第一次不流血的部署,因为空白者在斯卡甘六号行星的城市上空蔓延着恐惧和绝望的恐怖,让民众处于恐慌状态,而第二次针对灵族的部署则看到他们的方舟世界因对其力量的厌恶而颤抖,最终导致灵族方舟的系统和回路失效。
Sisters of Silence 寂静修女
The Sisters of Silence are the military arm of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica, consisting entirely of blank women. Their training regimen strives to make them an epitome of silence, unheard and unnoticed, and while outside human perception, efficient. At a certain point, they forego the right to speak, making a vow of silence, and furthermore never making other noise, eerily and unnaturally not even being heard running, while falling even in their last moment, choosing to die unnoticed. They were active intermittently at the service of the Imperium, for a long time after the age of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy taking the backstage of history. While many of them still managing the League of Blackships in their vigil to catch nascent psykers in their infancy, they fell into relative obscurity, this state of affairs lasted till the end of M41 and early M42. At that point, again actively set on campaigns at the order of a resurrected Ultramarines primarch, Roboute Guilliman.
寂静修女是星语庭的军事分支,完全由空白者女性组成。他们的训练方案力求使她们成为沉默之影,闻所未闻,无人注意,在人类感知之外,高效。在某种程度上,她们放弃了说话的权利,发誓保持沉默,而且从不发出其他噪音,奇怪而不自然,甚至没有人能听到她们在奔跑,甚至在最后一刻摔倒,选择在无人注意的情况下死去。在大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱之后的很长一段时间里占据历史幕后,他们间歇性地为帝国服务。虽然他们中的许多人仍然在守夜人中管理着黑船联盟,以抓捕婴儿时期的初出茅庐的灵能者,但他们却相对默默无闻,这种情况一直持续到M41和M42的早期。在那一时刻,再次按照复活的极限战士原体罗伯特·基里曼的命令积极开展战役。

Officio Assassinorum 刺客庭
The Culexus Temple of the Officio Assassinorum specializes in training blanks to weaponize their negative psionic abilities for the sole aim of efficient disposal of psykers. The training of the Culexus assassin grants them an ability to control the range and intensity of their nullifying powers so they can slip by unnoticed. While fitted with a few unique pieces of gear, of special note is their mask fitted with Animus Speculum, which allows them to harness those energies into a beam of a magnified potency. While the Culexus Temple is known to recruit from the already available blanks populating the galaxy, they are known to maintain a considerable number of vat-grown members called protiphages.
刺客庭的邱利萨斯神庙专门训练空白者,将其反灵能武器化,其唯一目的是有效处置灵能者。邱利萨斯刺客的训练使他们能够控制其无效力量的范围和强度,这样他们就可以在不知不觉中溜走。虽然配备了一些独特的装备,但特别值得注意的是,他们的面具上安装了恶意透镜,这使他们能够将这些能量转化为具有放大效力的光束。虽然众所周知,邱利萨斯神庙会从银河系中已经存在的空白者星系中招募成员,但众所周知,他们保留了相当多的被称为原初吞噬者的速生培养成员。
Project 'Black Pariah' ‘黑色遗弃者’项目
The clade Culexus initiated a project codenamed 'Black Pariah' with an intent to produce a blank, via bioengineering, that would be able to emulate the use of Animus Speculum without the equipment. It was a partial success, as although the intended abilities were achieved (barring the bizarre limitation of a need to obtain and consume a tissue sample of a target to achieve the power of Speculum), the sole individual produced was psychotically unstable. According to the documentation on the matter, sire Culexus dictated the project null, and a vessel containing the individual sent to the destruction. In fact, the sole 'Black Pariah' was left in storage awaiting its eventual use by the clade, which never came to pass, and kidnapped by Erebus, he met his end under a different master.
邱利萨斯分支发起了一个代号为“黑色遗弃者”的项目,旨在通过生物工程生产一种空白者,能够在没有设备的情况下模拟恶意透镜的使用。这是一次部分成功,因为尽管达到了预期的能力(除非需要获取和消耗目标的组织样本以实现透镜的力量),但唯一产生的个体在心理上是不稳定的。根据有关此事的文件,邱利萨斯宣布该项目无效,并将一艘载有该人的船只送往销毁地点。事实上,唯一的“黑色遗弃者”被留在仓库里,等待其最终被分支使用,但从未实现,并被艾瑞巴斯劫持,他在另一个主人手下结束了生命。
Inquisition 审判庭
The Inquisition is known to make the greatest use of blanks of all known imperial institutions. Ordo Hereticus especially makes avid use of them to capture or execute rogue psykers. Besides their natural abilities to combat psychic phenomena they are resistant to telepathic probing, making it easier for the Inquisitor to not have his plans compromised in case a blank has been captured by the enemy. Inquisition has many other uses of those blanks, not limited in their wars with witches and daemons, and so do their enemies, including untouchables in various cults, conspiracies and powers allied with dark forces, standing against the survival of the humanity.
众所周知,审判庭最大限度地利用了所有已知帝国机构的空白者。讨逆修会特别热衷于使用他们来抓捕或处决非法灵能者。除了他们对抗灵能现象的自然能力外,他们还对心灵感应探测具有抵抗力,这使得审判官更容易在敌人俘获空白者的情况下不让他的计划受到损害。审判庭对这些空白者有许多其他用途,不仅限于与女巫和恶魔的战争,他们的敌人也是如此,包括各种邪教、阴谋和与黑暗势力结盟的势力中的遗弃者,他们反对人类的生存。
Although rarely, blanks are accepted within the ranks of Inquisition, and the existence of blank acolytes, that allows the advancement of a blank to the position of an inquisitor, isn't out of the question within the organization.
尽管很少,但在审判庭的队伍中,空白者是被接受的,而空白者侍从的存在,允许空白者晋升为审判官的职位,在组织内部并非不可能。
Collegia Titanica 泰坦修会
During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, the Ordo Sinister exclusively employed blanks as the commanders of its Psi-Titans. Known as Preceptor-Intendants, these blank commanders were equivalent to the Princeps used by regular Titan Legions, but were also tasked with directing and focusing the powers of the psykers that were surgically bound into each Psi-Titan. The Ordo Sinister was known to recognize only the authority of the Emperor of Mankind, not answering to High Lords of Terra, nor any Primarch. As such, their only known active period in service to the Imperium is during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, for all we know remaining dormant from the time of the Emperor's entombment.
在大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间,噩兆修会专门雇佣空白者作为其灵能泰坦的指挥官。这些被称为管理导师的空白指挥官相当于常规泰坦军团使用的首席,但也负责引导和集中手术绑定到每个灵能泰坦中的灵能者的力量。众所周知,噩兆修会只承认人类帝皇的权威,不服从泰拉的高领主,也不服从任何原体。因此,他们为帝国服务的唯一已知活跃时期是在大远征和荷鲁斯叛乱期间,据我们所知,从帝皇被埋葬之时起,它们就一直处于休眠状态。
Rogue Traders 行商浪人
Due to the knowledge of the existence and the powers of the blanks being even rarer than they are, only those the wealthiest and the most educated are aware of the negative psionics. Some Rogue Trader dynasties, particularly those of the Koronus Expanse, are particularly interested in pariahs, spending fortune for the purpose of survey and purveyance of them. While sometimes they can serve as a member of the Rogue Trader crew, the more savvy in the political pursuits intend to use them as a bargaining chip when dealing with Adeptus Astra Telepathica, the Inquisition and even some xenos, like Eldar. The most prominent acquirers of blanks, are: calculating Jonquin Saul, and appearing as benevolent, Aoife Armengarde. The former of the two, for these intents, employs a network of paid agents across the Expanse. While the latter hides her shrewdness under the guise of philanthropy, offering the asylum for blanks first, then collecting their thankful services from under her wings to further various plots of hers.
由于对空白者的存在和力量的了解比他们更为罕见,只有那些最富有、受教育程度最高的人才知道反灵能。一些行商浪人王朝,特别是克洛诺斯王朝,对遗弃者特别感兴趣,他们为了调查和采买遗弃者而挥霍财富。虽然有时他们可以成为行商浪人团队的一员,但更精明的政治追求者打算在与星语庭、审判庭甚至灵族等一些异型打交道时,将他们作为讨价还价的筹码。最突出的空白者收购者是:精明的乔昆·索尔,表现得很仁慈的奥菲·阿门加德。出于这些目的,前者在广阔的土地上雇佣了一个付费代理网络。而后者则以慈善为幌子掩盖自己的精明,先为空白者提供庇护,然后在她的羽翼下收集他们的感激之情,以推进她的各种阴谋。

“Spear” - the only fruit of 'Black Pariah' project, abandoned by clade Culexus due to the instability of his psyche, left for eventual use in a safe deposit, found there by Erebus. A psychotic murderous blank who through torture was forced into a symbiotic possession with a daemon.
“矛” - 是“黑色遗弃者”项目的唯一成果,由于精神不稳定,被邱利萨斯分支遗弃,最终被存放在仓库中,被艾瑞巴斯发现。被一个灵能者通过折磨被迫与一个恶魔共生。
Jenetia Krole - the first Knight-Commander of of the Sisters of Silence, founded during the Great Crusade. Known to master the art of silence to the point when she was known able to evade the perception of Primarchs and Adeptus Custodes.
珍提亚·科勒 - 寂静修女的第一位骑士指挥官,成立于大远征期间。众所周知,她精通沉默的艺术,以至于她能够逃避原体和禁军的感知。
Amendera Kendel - Oblivion Knight of the Silent Sisterhood, one of the founding members of the Inquisition, and the first person to declare an Exterminatus.
阿蒙德菈·肯德尔 - 寂静修女的遗忘骑士,审判庭的创始成员之一,也是第一个实行灭绝令的人。
Leilani Mollitas - Novice-Sister of the Silent Sisterhood, who was summoned by her older self, trading her own soul with daemons for a use of psychic power to warn her past self of approaching Horus Heresy. Her future soul sacrifice averted by her senior sister incinerating both Leilani, and the conduit to the future.
莱菈尼·莫利塔斯 - 寂静修女的见习修女,她被年长的自己召唤,用自己的灵魂与恶魔交换,以使用灵能力量警告过去的自己荷鲁斯叛乱的接近。她的姐姐焚烧了莱菈尼和通往未来的管道,避免了她未来的灵魂牺牲。
At the time of the Horus Heresy, there were no known records of any Pariahs serving within either the Space Marines or Adeptus Custodes. Some scholars have suggested that this is due to the psychically infused nature of gene-seed, which could render it lethal if implanted in a subject with the Pariah gene. It is, however, possible for a Space Marine to be transformed into a Pariah after implantation, as is the case with the Ferrymen of the Grey Knights.
在荷鲁斯叛乱时期,没有已知的记录表明有任何遗弃者在星际战士或禁军服役。一些学者认为,这是由于基因种子的灵能注入性质,如果将其植入具有遗弃者基因的受试者体内,可能会使其致命。然而,星际战士在植入后有可能变成遗弃者,就像灰骑士的摆渡人一样。
A Lathe-Pattern Null-Blocker is a technology available to the Inquisition, created on a basis of understanding of the blanks' effect. Its force-field simulates pariah's immunity to the psychic powers as much as its circuitry can withstand. They can be either fixed to a piece of armour or simply worn around the neck.
拉斯型虚无阻塞器是一种可供审判庭所使用的技术,是在了解空白者效果的基础上创建的。它的力场模拟了遗弃者对灵能力量的免疫,就像它的回路所能承受的那样。它们可以固定在盔甲上,也可以简单地戴在脖子上。
A similar power to that of the blank is possessed by discordants. They, also born without any tie to the warp, are known to exude an aura that blots out the machine spirits, deactivating any machinery that they touch or are close by. Treated as anathema to the Machine God, they are similarly shunned from societies within the Mechanicum or otherwise killed.
失谐者也拥有与空白者相似的力量。他们生来也没有任何与亚空间的联系,众所周知,他们散发出一种光环,可以抹去机魂,停用他们接触或靠近的任何机器。他们被视为万机神的诅咒,同样被机械神教内的社会所排斥,或以其他方式被杀害。
Necrons have found of the pariah strain in humanity some time prior to the Horus Heresy, tampering with the members of clade Culexus and forming the first of Necron Pariahs. Since then, they were known to abduct blanks and turning them into those amalgams of flesh and technology. As they are still partially flesh and soul, not necrodermis, they aren't true necrons, and thus are not a viable subject of reanimation protocols.
在荷鲁斯叛乱之前的一段时间,死灵在人类中发现了遗弃者品种,篡改了邱利萨斯分支的成员,形成了第一个死灵遗弃者。从那时起,人们就知道它们会绑架空白者,把它们变成血肉和科技的混合物。由于它们仍然是部分肉体和灵魂,而不是死灵骨架,因此它们不是真正的死灵,因此不是复活方案的可行对象。
Eldar, unaware of humans prejudice towards blanks in calling them soulless, converged on using the same term to demonize their nature, that appeared to them artificially emerging from the humankind's depraved ingenuity. Although within their societies exist similarly shunned cast of Solitaires, they are widely known among eldar to be in possession of the souls, which are of particular protection of their remaining deity, Cegorach, and do not possess any ability to counter psychic powers.
灵族没有意识到人类对空白者的偏见,称它们为无魂者,于是用同一个词来妖魔化它们的本性,在他们看来,这是人类堕落的创造力的产物。尽管在他们的社会中也存在类似的被回避的孤独者,但他们在灵族中被广泛认为拥有灵魂,这些灵魂特别保护他们剩下的神西高奇,并且没有任何对抗灵能力量的能力。
In the days of the Great Crusade, the Adeptus Mechanicus and Sisters of Silence developed the Atlas Infernal. It is a complex navigational system in a form of a book composed utterly from the living flesh of a blank, grafted in from one of the Silent Sisters. When activated the blood is pumped in the Atlas's veins, and its blank effect is triggered, that the complex systems of the mechanism allows it to accurately map the webway, at the time of its activation.
在大远征的日子里,机械神教和寂静修女开发了炼狱之图。这是一个复杂的导航系统,以一本书的形式,完全由一个活着的空白者的血肉组成,从一个寂静修女那里嫁接而来。当激活时,血液被泵入图的静脉,其空白者效果被触发,该机制的复杂系统使其能够在激活时准确地绘制网道。
