Abhumans are human subspecies - descendants of humans who have physically evolved after long periods of isolation on worlds with various extreme environmental conditions.
亚人是人类的亚种,是人类在各种极端环境条件的世界下长期隔离后生理进化而来的后代。
In the millennia since the Emperor’s Great Crusade, many of these worlds have been returned to the fold and their territory and citizens absorbed into the Imperium. Yet, in the years that have passed, suspicion and superstition have taken hold over the Imperium’s citizenry. The Imperial Creed teaches hatred for any mutation. Thus, those designated abhuman are condemned to a life as outsiders, despised by those with whom they share a genetic heritage.
自帝皇的大远征以来的数千年里,许多这样的世界已经回归,他们的领土和公民被吸收到帝国中。然而,在过去的几年里,怀疑和迷信已经笼罩着帝国的公民。帝国信条教导人们对任何变种人的仇恨。因此,那些被指定为亚人的人注定要过着局外人的生活,被那些与他们有共同基因遗产的人鄙视。
The Imperium recognizes 73 stable abhuman strains, of which 46 types are now listed as extinct, with a further 12 suggesting they too have died out or been assimilated into the greater population. The status of the remaining 15 strains is an issue of constant debate within the Administratum's Tithes Chamber Notaries, sub. Planetary Census (Abhumans), the administrative body that deals with Abhuman affairs.
帝国识别出73种稳定的亚人种族,其中46种现已被列为灭绝,另外12种表明它们也已经灭绝或被同化到更大的种族中。其余15个种族的状态是内务部的什一税公证室附属行星普查(亚人)内部不断争论的问题,该行政机构负责处理亚人事务。
In an Imperium where genetic mutation and spiritual corruption are often interrelated, abhumans are a focus of much controversy. In more liberal times under the Emperor, even markedly divergent abhumans such as the Beastmen could serve in the Imperial Guard and Militarum Auxilla. Since the Emperor's stasis however, only the lesser deviants, such as Ogryns and Ratlings, are considered Imperial citizens. However, they are still distrusted by the more puritan members of the Inquisition.
在一个基因突变和灵魂腐化经常相互关联的帝国中,亚人是一个备受争议的焦点。在帝皇统治下的更自由的时代,即使是像野兽人这样明显不同的亚人也可以在帝国卫队和辅助军服役。然而,自从帝皇的停滞以来,只有较少异常者,如欧格林和莱特林,才被视为帝国公民。然而,他们仍然不被审判庭中更纯洁派的成员所信任。
Imperial Guard armies may make use of Abhumans. These Beastmen (or Homo sapiens variatus), Mutant Slave Levies (ordinary mutant slaves rounded up for cannon fodder), Feral Ogryns (even nastier and more primitive than regular Ogryns), Nightsiders (originating from worlds of perpetual or near-perpetual darkness, little to no ability to see but perfect warriors for Night Fighting missions), Afriel Strain Soldiers (genetically engineered from DNA taken from great heroes of the Imperium, very unlucky and unpopular), Subs (relatively genetically stable but still hideously deformed mutant sub-breeds) and Gland Warriors (Imperial Guardsmen implanted with special organs and glands that secrete combat-useful chemicals, such as stimms and pain-killers).Psychic powers can arise in abhumans just like baseline humans. Noted examples include Ogryns, Ratlings, and Beastmen.
帝国卫队可能会利用亚人。这些野兽人(或人属智人变体)、变种人奴隶征召兵(普通的变种人奴隶被去除用作炮灰)、野蛮欧格林(甚至比普通的欧格林更肮脏、更原始)、夜行者(起源于永恒或近乎永恒的黑暗世界,几乎看不见,但是夜间战斗任务的完美战士)、阿弗里尔变体士兵(从帝国伟大英雄身上提取的DNA进行基因工程,非常不幸和不受欢迎)、劣人(相对基因稳定但仍然畸形的变种人亚种)和腺体战士(帝国卫队植入特殊器官和腺体,分泌战斗有用的化学物质,如刺激物和止痛药)。灵能力量可以在亚人身上产生,就像普通人类一样。值得注意的例子包括欧格林、莱特林和野兽人。
Afriel Strain 阿弗里尔变体
Afriel Strain (Homo sapiens maledictis) soldiers were created during an experimental process, of which little is known about. It was an attempt to capitalise on the characteristics of the heroes of the Imperium's genetic material, using all the best traits which made them great - faster, stronger, and more intelligent than baseline humans . Afriel Strain warriors are known for having very bad luck. Afriels are normally albino, with pale alabaster skin, pale hair, and colourless eyes.
阿弗里尔变体(人属智人变体亚种)士兵是在一个实验过程中创造的,对此知之甚少。这是为了利用帝国遗传物质中英雄的特征,利用所有使他们伟大的最佳特征 — 比普通人类更快、更强壮、更聪明。阿弗里尔变体战士以运气不佳而闻名。阿弗里尔通常是白化病患者,皮肤苍白,头发苍白,眼睛无色。
Amphi 两栖人
Amphi are an abhuman strain hailing from the world of Lampra. They are known to possess shapeshifting properties.
两栖人是一种来自兰普拉世界的亚人。众所周知,他们具有变形特性。
Avenians 阿维尼亚人
The Avenians were humans who resided on Ark Reach Secundus during the Great Crusade. Mechanicum geneticists recorded that the Avenians possessed an incredibly diverse genetic baseline noted to be far removed from the archetypal human genome. It was speculated this was due to the millennia of separation from the rest of humanity during Old Night.
在大远征期间,居住在第二方舟河段的阿维尼亚人是人类。机械教遗传学家记录显示,阿维尼亚人拥有令人难以置信的多样化遗传起点,与原型人类基因组相去甚远。据推测,这是由于在旧夜中与其他人类分离了数千年。
Beastmen 野兽人
Beastmen (Homo sapiens variatus) are bestial abhumans combining the forms of animal and human. They were formerly recruited for the Imperial Guard, where they were valued mainly for their bloodlust; they fought for the Emperor in order to atone for their sin of being born mutants. They were led by Beastmen called packmasters. Beastmen are no longer seen in Imperial service; no doubt elements of the Inquisition convinced the Administratum that they couldn't be so radically altered from normal humans without being tainted by Chaos. Today, Beastmen are the subject of severe Imperial persecution and are hunted down by the Adeptus Arbites.
野兽人(人属智人变体亚种)是结合了动物和人类形态的亚人。他们以前被招募到帝国卫队,在那里他们主要因嗜血而受到重视;他们为帝皇而战,以弥补他们生来就是变种人的罪行。他们由被称为兽群大师的野兽人领导。野兽人不再在帝国服役;毫无疑问,审判庭的成员说服了内务部,如果不被混沌所污染,他们不可能从正常人身上发生如此彻底的改变。如今,野兽人是帝国严厉迫害的对象,并被法务部追捕。
Drepanes 镰人
Drepanes are an abhuman strain hailing from the world of Azetium IV. They are known to have ‘sickle-like’ heads.
镰人是来自阿泽提姆四号世界的亚人种族。众所周知,他们有“镰刀状”的头。
Felinids 菲林(猫人)
Felinids (Homo sapiens hirsutus), are a recognized strain of abhuman within the Imperium. They are primarily known as being native to the world of Carlos McConnell.
菲林(人属智人多毛亚种)是帝国中公认的亚人。他们主要被认为是卡洛斯·麦康奈尔世界的原住民。
Gland Warriors 腺体战士
Gland Warriors (Homo sapiens auctus glandulae) were created to fight invading Tyranids on the Forge World Dantris III, but more generally are created by genetors as and when required.
腺体战士(人属智人腺体增强亚种)是为了在铸造世界丹特里斯三号上对抗入侵的泰伦而创建的,但更普遍的是由基因士在需要时创建的。
Goliaths 歌利亚(巨人)
Members of the Necromundan House Goliath, these freakishly large vat-grown warriors can pass a even a Space Marine in size. They also suffer from a variety of defects, most notably mental imbalances, slow movement and extremely short lifespans, thus, they are considered by many to be a classifiable strain of abhuman.
作为涅克罗蒙达歌利亚家族的成员,这些巨大的缸中战士甚至可以超过一名星际战士的大小。他们还患有各种缺陷,最明显的是精神失衡、行动迟缓和寿命极短,因此,许多人认为他们是一种可分类种族的亚人。
Katara† 卡塔拉人
The Katara were a species of abhumans encountered during the Great Crusade.
卡塔拉人是大远征期间遇到的一种亚人。
Lazul 拉祖人
Lazul are an abhuman strain hailing from the world of Garganus Prime. They are known for their distinctive blue skin.
拉祖人是一种来自加尔加诺主星世界的亚人。他们以独特的蓝色皮肤而闻名。
Longshanks 长腿人
Longshanks are unusually tall, having evolved on planets with weak gravity, and are unusually fast with their large gait. They are, unfortunately, easy targets because of their height and must be deployed with care.
长腿人异常高大,是在重力较弱的行星上进化而来的,而且步态巨大,速度异常快。不幸的是,由于它们的高度,它们很容易成为目标,必须小心部署。
Navigators 导航者
Navigators, (Homo navigo) are a strain that emerged during the Dark Age of Technology, speculated to be artificially engineered. Their eponymous gene grants them a "warp eye" which allows them to safely gaze into the warp and help better navigate Imperial ships.
导航者(人属导航亚种)是在黑暗技术时代出现的一种种族,推测是人工设计制造的。他们的同名基因赋予了他们一个“亚空间之眼”,使他们能够安全地凝视亚空间,帮助更好地驾驶帝国舰船。
Neandors 尼安德人
The Neandors, (Homo Sapien Hyannothus) are a recognized strain of abhuman within the Imperium. They are restricted to the world of Hyannoth IV.
尼安德人(人属智人海恩诺亚种)是帝国内公认的亚人。他们仅限于海恩诺四号世界。
Nightsiders 夜人
Nightsiders (Homo sapiens tenebris) descend from the populations of many worlds in the Imperium that live their lives in near, or sometimes complete darkness.
夜人(人属智人幽暗亚种)来自帝国中许多世界的人口,他们生活在接近甚至完全黑暗的环境中。
Some planets are inhabitable only on their night side, because the opposite surface is exposed to the full force of the system's star. Other populations exist underground, because the surface of the world is entirely uninhabitable. Yet others live on nomad worlds, which wander the galaxy independent of any star.
有些行星只能在它们的夜晚居住,因为相反的表面暴露在星系恒星的全部力量下。其他人口存在于地下,因为世界表面完全不适合居住。然而,还有一些人生活在游牧世界,他们独立于任何恒星在银河系中游荡。
Throughout the millennia, technology may have regressed due to ignorance, isolation, or natural disaster, and the population may have changed by design or by some accident of nature. Such populations are considered mutants by many, for they may sport bulbous eyes adapted to the dimmest conditions, or they may in fact have only vestigial eyes and enhanced senses - such as Echolocation - that compensate for near or total blindness.
几千年来,由于无知、孤立或自然灾害,技术可能已经倒退,人口可能因设计或自然事故而发生了变化。许多人认为这些种族是变种人,因为它们可能有适应最昏暗条件的球茎状眼睛,或者它们实际上可能只有退化的眼睛和增强的感官,如回声定位,以弥补近乎或完全失明。
Ogryn 欧格林(猿人)
Ogryn (Homo sapiens gigantus) evolved on cold, high-gravity prison planets. They are huge and stupid but extremely loyal once introduced to the Imperial Cult. It's even said that those who fought as rebels in the Horus Heresy only did so because their superior officers lied to them about which side they were on. Ogryns are used as shock troops, wielding heavy automatic shotguns called Ripper Guns, which can be used as clubs. They tend to be claustrophobic and thus are difficult to transport in Chimera APCs. They are led by Bone'eads, who have undergone Biochemical Ogryn Neural Enhancement so they're not quite so stupid.
欧格林(人属智人巨人亚种)在寒冷、高重力的监狱星球上进化。他们庞大而愚蠢,但一旦被介绍帝国教派,他们就会非常忠诚。甚至有人说,那些在荷鲁斯叛乱中作为叛军作战的人之所以这样做,是因为他们的上级军官对他们撒谎,说他们站在哪一边。欧格林被用作突击部队,挥舞着被称为开膛枪的重型自动霰弹枪,可以用作棍棒。它们往往有幽闭恐惧症,因此很难在奇美拉装甲运兵车中运输。他们由聪明头领导,聪明头已经接受了欧格林生化神经增强,所以他们并不那么愚蠢。
The issue of Ogryn classification is one of the most contentious within the Administratum's Abhuman department. This complex strain is currently listed as seven distinct types (Alpha, Theta, Type IV, Type VIIa, H.S. gigantus gigantus, H.S. gigantus Cranopus, and the mysterious Grey Ogryns). Many within the department believe that many of these classifications are all separate types, and another revision of strain classification is required.
欧格林的分类问题是内务部的亚人部门内最具争议的问题之一。这种复杂的种族目前被列为七种不同的类型(阿尔法、西塔、IV型、VIIa型、H.S超巨型.、H.S.巨肢型和神秘的灰欧格林)。该部门的许多人认为,这些分类中的许多都是单独的类型,需要对种族分类进行另一次修订。
Warriors of Tohruk 托鲁克战士
Warriors of Tohruk are the debased and brutal cousins of the Ogryn. Dwelling in the Eastern Fringe, they struck a secret agreement with Night Lords Primarch Konrad Curze sometime before the Horus Heresy. During the Thramas Crusade their agreement was enacted, and they were used as shock troops by the Night Lords against the Dark Angels.
Tohruk的战士是欧格林的卑鄙和野蛮的表亲。他们住在东部边缘,在荷鲁斯叛乱之前的某个时候,他们与午夜领主康拉德·科兹达成了一项秘密协议。在萨拉玛斯远征期间,他们签订了协议,并被午夜领主用作对抗黑暗天使的突击部队。
Pelagers 海栖人
Pelager's (Homo sapiens oceanus) evolved on worlds submerged in ocean, and have developed the ability to breathe almost any liquid through gills. Pelagers are hulking masses of iron-hard muscle and covered in scaled skin, possibly due to the pressures of the oceans they evolved within.
海栖人(人属智人海洋亚种)在淹没在海洋中的世界上进化,并发展出通过鳃呼吸几乎任何液体的能力。海栖人有巨大的铁硬肌肉,覆盖着鳞片状皮肤,可能是由于他们在海洋的压力中进化。
Ratlings 莱特林(鼠人)
Ratlings (Homo sapiens minimus) are the smallest type of abhumans, serving as snipers in the Imperial Guard, although this role is becoming less popular now that pure human special weapon and light infantry squads are fielding marksmen as well. Ratlings also serve as cooks, a skill they no doubt learned in order to feed their own stomachs. They also tend towards kleptomania.
莱特林(人属智人小型亚种)是最小的亚人,在帝国卫队中担任狙击手,尽管这个角色现在越来越不受欢迎,因为纯人类特殊武器和轻步兵小队也在部署射手。莱特林也可以当厨师,毫无疑问,这是它们为了填饱肚子而学会的技能。他们也倾向于盗窃癖。
Scalies 蜥蜴人
The Scalies of Necromunda are a relatively stable type of abhuman, though not quite as stable as Ogryn, for example. They are tall and broad reptilians with legendary strength and durability. Among the people of the Underhive they have a fearsome reputation.
涅克罗蒙达的蜥蜴人是一种相对稳定的亚人类型,尽管不像欧格林那样稳定。它们是高大而宽阔的爬行动物,具有传奇般的力量和韧性。在下巢的人们中,他们有着可怕的名声。
Squats 矮人
Squats (Homo sapiens rotundus) originated on high-gravity worlds towards the galactic core, making them short and tough. They were once a common sight in imperial warzones, but have become rare in recent years, rumors tell that their homeworlds have been devoured by xenos fleets. The truth is that they possess their own advanced civilization with it's own complex culture dubbed the Leagues of Votann. Squats are still seen in the Imperium on worlds such as Necromunda.
矮人(人属智人圆形亚种)起源于向银河系核心的高重力世界,使其矮而坚韧。它们曾经是帝国战区的常见景象,但近年来已变得罕见,有传言称它们的家园已被异型舰队吞噬。事实上,他们拥有自己的先进文明,拥有被称为沃坦联盟的复杂文化。在涅克罗蒙达等帝国世界中仍然可以看到矮人。
Stiltlimbs 长肢人
Stiltlimbs are a strain of abhumans that first appeared during the Age of Strife.
长肢人是一种亚人,最早出现在纷争时代。
Subs 劣人
Subs (Homo Sapiens Deformum) are a strain of abhuman found in the Imperium. Although of relatively stable genetic stock, they are so misshapen and physically abhorrent that they are forced to live entirely separate from mainstream society. Hiding their swollen faces behind filthy shrouds, these creatures form an invisible underclass, forced to live in the unpopulated wilds of the Imperium's worlds and frequently the subject of brutal pogroms by zealous preachers keen to purge the impure. Such mutants are often forced into criminality and soon become easy prey for those who would whisper the lies of the Ruinous Powers. The Imperium has, on occasion, used such creatures as soldiers. However, they were treated as expendable and not expected to survive their first engagement. It's little wonder then that such beings turn to the Dread Powers, if humanity considers these wretched creatures far less than human and has rejected them entirely.
劣人(人属智人畸形亚种)是帝国中发现的一种亚人。尽管他们的基因库相对稳定,但他们的畸形和身体状况令人憎恶,以至于他们被迫与主流社会完全分开生活。这些生物把肿胀的脸藏在肮脏的裹布后面,形成了一个看不见的下层阶级,被迫生活在帝国世界无人居住的荒野中,经常成为热衷于清除不纯者的狂热传教士残酷迫害的对象。这些变种人经常被迫犯罪,很快就会成为那些窃窃私语毁灭力量谎言的人的猎物。帝国偶尔会使用这种生物作为士兵。然而,他们被视为消耗品,预计无法在第一次交战中幸存下来。如果人类认为这些可怜的生物远不如人类,并完全拒绝了它们,那么这些生物转向恐惧力量也就不足为奇了。
Thrix 羽人
Thrix are an abhuman strain. They possess famously lethal plumage.
羽人是一种亚人种族。它们拥有著名的致命羽毛。
Thugrock Goliaths† 暴岩歌利亚
Thugrock Goliaths were a type of abhuman native to the world of Thugrock Secundus. In 372.M35 they developed a blood cult that consumed the planet's ruling class. Imperial retaliation was brutal, with six Eversor Assassins dispatched to annihilate the cult leaders. By the time the single surviving Eversor was recovered, not one of the Thugrock Goliaths were left alive. When news reached the Imperial Guard (who recruited the abhumans for their own uses), they were most displeased that such a rich resource had been wasted.
暴岩歌利亚是暴岩次星世界的一种亚人。372.M35,他们发展了一个鲜血教派,吞噬了行星上的统治阶级。帝国的报复是残酷的,派遣了六名埃弗森刺客来消灭教派领袖。当唯一幸存的埃弗森被找到时,没有一个暴岩歌利亚活着。当消息传到帝国卫队(他们招募亚人供自己使用)时,他们对如此丰富的资源被浪费感到非常不满。
Troth 特洛斯人
Troth, also known as Homo Sapien Verdantus, are a recognized strain of abhuman within the Imperium. They are restricted to the world of Verdant.
特洛斯人,也被称为人属智人青翠亚种,是帝国内部公认的亚人种族。它们仅限于青翠世界。
Other 其他
Deeper aren't legally abhuman, but their mutation is stable enough to qualify for the classification.
深人在法律上不是亚人,但它们的突变足够稳定,符合分类条件。
Saathlaa are a sanctioned strain of mutant and hence not legally abhuman. They are native to Phaedra.
萨斯拉是一种经过批准的变种人,因此在法律上不是亚人。它们原存于菲德拉。
Siskans are prone to a particularly stable type of mutation which gives them additional limb joints; they are under investigation to see if their mutation type can qualify as an abhuman strain.
西斯克人容易发生一种特别稳定的突变,这会给他们额外的肢体关节;他们正在接受调查,看看他们的突变类型是否符合亚人种族的标准。
Many worlds harbor an oppressed underclass of mutant workers, beings whose continued existence is justified to the Imperium only by ceaseless toil. Whatever quirk of genetics gave rise to such mutants will have been exacerbated by generations of backbreaking labour, exposure to hazardous environments, and filthy living conditions. The results are malformed creatures, deemed entirely impure by the authorities of the Imperium and fit only to serve as slaves. However, a certain level of natural selection is often at work in such populations. Thus, mutants, though misshapen, are tremendously tough and resilient.
许多世界都有一个受压迫的变种人工人下层阶级,他们只有通过不懈的劳动才能证明在帝国存在的正当性。无论遗传学的什么怪事导致了这种突变,都会因几代人的繁重劳动、暴露在危险环境和肮脏的生活条件而加剧。结果是畸形的生物,被帝国当局认为完全不洁,只适合做奴隶。然而,在这些群体中,一定程度的自然选择往往起作用。因此,变种人虽然畸形,但非常坚韧和有适应力。
It is not unknown for such mutants to be levied by the Munitorum to go to war and fight for the Imperium that hates them so. Drafting mutants is normally an act of desperation on the part of the Imperium, for the teachings of the Ecclesiarchy hold that it is the right and responsibility of the pure to fight the foes of Mankind, a tenet that certainly does not apply to mutants. A mutant force will often be accompanied by a great many Preachers, extolling the mutants to acts of sacrifice in order to atone for their sin of imperfection and attain a measure of the Emperor's forgiveness.
这些变种人被军务部征召去打仗,为憎恨他们的帝国而战,这并不罕见。起用变种人通常是帝国的一种绝望行为,因为国教的教义认为,与人类之敌作战是纯洁者的权利和责任,这一原则当然不适用于变种人。变种人部队通常会伴随着许多传教士,赞美变种人的牺牲行为,以弥补他们的不完美之罪,并获得帝皇的一定程度的宽恕。
