This is Cadia, you silly fool! Cadia! Right on the doorway of Chaos! Right in the heart of everything! The seepage of evil is so great, I have a hundred active cults to subdue every month! This place breeds recidivists like a pond breeds scum. This is Cadia! This is the Gate of the Eye! This is where the bloody work of the Inquisition is done!" - Inquisitor-General Neve

这是卡迪亚,你这个愚蠢的傻瓜!卡迪亚!就在混沌的门口!就在一切的中心!邪恶的渗透如此之大,我每个月都有一百个活跃的教派要制服!这个地方像池塘滋生渣滓一样滋生惯犯。这是卡迪亚!这是恐惧之眼的大门!这就是审判庭流血的工作的地方!“- 审判官将军内夫

Planetary Image 行星图片

Cadia was a terrestrial Fortress World on the edge of the nebula known as the Eye of Terror. The planet was situated in an area of space known as the Cadian Gate, the only stable, permanent route into and out of the Eye of Terror large enough to allow the passage of battlefleets. For this reason, Cadia was heavily fortified against the assaults of Chaos and was a frequent target of Abaddon the Despoiler's Black Crusades.

卡迪亚是一个位于被称为恐惧之眼的星云边缘的类地堡垒世界。这颗行星位于一个被称为卡迪安之门的太空区域,这是进出恐惧之眼的唯一稳定、永久的航线,其大小足以让战斗舰队通过。出于这个原因,卡迪亚对混沌的攻击进行了严密的防御,并且是掠夺者阿巴顿的黑色远征的频繁目标。

The Cadian Pylons 卡迪亚方尖碑

Perhaps the most unusual and significant feature of Cadia were the mysterious Pylons, structures of unknown origins that predated the planet's colonization by man. Five thousand, eight hundred ten intact Pylons were spread out across the surface of Cadia, with a further two thousand either buried or in various states of disrepair. No two were identical in design, but each one rose to precisely half a kilometer in height and extended a quarter-kilometer into the ground. Each Pylon also featured slim, winding tunnels machined into them, each one no wider than a man's head and exactly two hundred fifty meters long.

也许卡迪亚最不寻常和最重要的特征是神秘的方尖碑,这些方尖碑的起源未知,早在人类殖民行星之前就已经存在。五千八百一十座完整的方尖碑散布在卡迪亚的表面,另有两千座被埋葬或处于各种失修状态。没有两个在设计上完全相同,但每个都上升到半公里的高度,并延伸到地面四分之一公里。每座塔上都有细长蜿蜒的隧道,每条隧道的宽度不超过一个人的头部,长度正好为250米。

Cadian Pylon 卡迪亚方尖碑

Efforts by the Adeptus Mechanicus to study the Pylons had failed miserably, as their surfaces were totally impenetrable to scanning by auspex and efforts to map the tunnels via Servitors had resulted in missing probes. However, it is widely believed that they were the reason for the existence of the Cadian Gate in the first place. During the 13th Black Crusade, as the warp storm Baphomael expanded to engulf the edges of the Cadian System, the Pylons simultaneously began resonating with an almost imperceptible vibration, and microscopic fractures began appearing on their surface. It was discovered that they were resonating at an amplitude similar to that produced by a Gellar Field in their effort to fight back against the encroaching storm.

机械神教研究方尖碑的努力惨遭失败,由于它们的表面完全无法被鸟卜仪扫描,通过机仆绘制隧道地图的努力导致了探测器的丢失。然而,人们普遍认为,它们是卡迪亚之门存在的最初原因。在第13次黑色远征期间,随着亚空间风暴巴普梅尔的扩张,吞噬了卡迪亚星系的边缘,方尖碑同时开始产生几乎察觉不到的振动,其表面开始出现微观裂缝。人们发现,它们的共振幅度与盖勒立场在对抗入侵的风暴时产生的振幅相似。

Access to the Pylons was generally forbidden, with it being deemed a rare privilege to be granted permission to visit if one were not of sufficient military rank.

进入方尖碑通常是被禁止的,如果一个人没有足够的军衔,被允许访问被认为是一种罕见的特权。

During the final stages of the Thirteenth Black Crusade, the Magos Belisarius Cawl worked with the Necron Lord Trazyn to fully activate the Pylons and push the Eye of Terror back. However, in the end, Abaddon collided the debris of the Blackstone Fortress Will of Eternity into Cadia's surface, destabilizing the Pylons as they were fully awakening. In a catastrophic chain reaction, the Pylons were destroyed, which caused Cadia to be dragged into the Warp.

在第十三次黑色远征的最后阶段,贤者贝利撒留·考尔与死灵领主塔拉辛合作,完全激活了方尖碑并将恐惧之眼推回。然而,最终,阿巴顿将黑石堡垒永恒意志号的残骸撞到了卡迪亚的表面,在它们完全觉醒时破坏了方尖碑的稳定。在一场灾难性的连锁反应中,方尖碑被摧毁,导致卡迪亚被拖入亚空间。

History 历史

Before Imperial colonization, Cadia was the home of a lost fragment of humanity that worshipped the four Gods of Chaos. This society was encountered by the Word Bearers Legion forty years before the Horus Heresy, and the prevalence of violet eyes amongst the populace was seen as a mark of mutation caused by the Eye of Terror, which also appears violet. It was on Cadia that the Word Bearers' Primarch, Lorgar, first met Ingethel the Chosen and became inducted into the service of the Foul Powers. This civilization was eventually wiped out by Cyclonic torpedoes.

在帝国殖民之前,卡迪亚是崇拜混沌四神的失落的人类分支的家园。这个社会是在荷鲁斯叛乱的四十年前被怀言者军团遇到的,民众中紫色眼睛的盛行被视为恐惧之眼引起的突变的标志,恐惧之眼也呈紫色。正是在卡迪亚,怀言者的原体珞珈第一次见到了受选者英格泰尔,并被引入到对邪恶势力的服务中。这个文明最终被旋风鱼雷摧毁。

Cadia was resettled sometime in the early 32nd millennium as a direct result of the 1st Black Crusade. The early defenses of Cadia, however, proved to be woefully ill-prepared, its major cities indefensible as they were built in the traditional High Terra style of broad, ordered avenues. Following the 2nd Black Crusade, changes were made to improve the planet's fortifications, rebuilding the cities into their present form.

卡迪亚在第32个千年初的某个时候被重新安置,这是第一次黑色远征的直接结果。然而,事实证明,卡迪亚的早期防御措施准备不足,其主要城市是无法防御的,因为它们是按照传统的高地风格建造的,宽阔有序的大道。在第二次黑色远征之后,为了改善行星的防御工事,进行了改变,将城市重建成现在的形式。

Destruction 毁灭

During the Thirteenth Black Crusade, Cadia was subjected to the largest Chaos invasion since the Horus Heresy. A surprise opening attack by the Volscani Cataphracts wiped out the Cadian High Command, forcing Ursarkar E. Creed to become its sole Castellan.

在第十三次黑色远征期间,卡迪亚遭受了自荷鲁斯叛乱以来最大的混沌入侵。沃斯卡尼重骑兵的突然袭击摧毁了卡迪亚最高指挥部,迫使乌萨卡·E·克里德成为其唯一的堡主。

The destruction of Cadia 卡迪亚的毁灭

After vicious fighting, only one fortress, Kasr Kraf, remained. However, the tide of the battle nearly turned thanks to the intervention of Eldar and Trazyn, who sought to reactivate the Pylons on the world and turn back the Warp. In the final battle beneath the surface of Cadia, Abaddon was forced to retreat as the Pylons were activating, but redirected debris from the Blackstone Fortress Will of Eternity into the planet. Cadia was shattered and, as the Pylons faltered, the planet was swallowed into the Warp. Castellan Creed and his Cadian 8th stayed behind to cover the evacuation, making their fate all but certain.

经过激烈的战斗,只剩下一座堡垒,克拉夫堡。然而,由于灵族和塔拉辛的干预,这场战斗的趋势几乎发生了逆转,他们试图重新激活世界上的方尖碑并逆转亚空间。在卡迪亚地表下的最后一场战斗中,阿巴顿被迫撤退,因为方尖碑正在激活,但他将黑石堡垒永恒意志号的残骸重新定向到了这个行星上。卡迪亚被击碎,随着方尖碑摇摇欲坠,这颗星球被亚空间吞噬了。堡主克里德和他的卡迪安第八兵团留下来掩护撤离,他们的命运几乎是确定的。

Only a handful of its citizens were able to escape in an evacuation fleet led by the Phalanx. Of its population, fewer than three million survived.

只有少数公民能够在山阵号领导的撤离舰队中逃脱。在其人口中,只有不到300万人幸存下来。

Chaos controlled Cadian Asteroid 混沌控制的卡迪安小行星

Although Cadia was ultimately reduced to a burning wasteland by Abaddon's assault, the worlds in the wider Cadian System fought hard to destroy the spearhead the Despoiler had plunged into their midst. The Great Exodus of Cadia has seen swathes of Imperial defences redeployed to their sister worlds.

尽管阿巴顿的进攻最终使卡迪亚沦为一片燃烧的荒地,但更广泛的卡迪亚星系中的世界仍在努力摧毁掠夺者投入其中的矛头。卡迪亚大逃亡事件中,帝国的大片防御工事被重新部署到了他们的姐妹世界。

Sometime after the Great Rift's creation, the Adeptus Custodes Captain General Trajann Valoris ordered a small, fast-moving force of Custodians to travel to Cadia's remains. Details of their mission are suppressed, even amongst their comrades, but they are accompanied by a number of warriors drawn from the ranks of the Shadowkeepers.

在大裂隙形成后的某个时候,禁军修会禁军元帅图拉真·瓦洛里斯命令一支快速移动的禁军部队前往卡迪亚的残骸。他们的任务细节被隐瞒了,甚至在他们的战友中也是如此,但他们身边有许多来自暗影守护者等级的战士。

Military 军事

As one of the most strategically important planets in the Imperium, Cadia boasted a large military presence. Battlefleet Cadia provided orbital protection for the planet and could call upon the assistance of neighboring sector fleets such as Battlefleet Agripinaa, Battlefleet Corona and Battlefleet Scarus. The planet's surface was dotted with numerous orbital defense batteries, its skies were patrolled by flights of Imperial Aircraft, and any incoming civilian craft that failed to transmit the daily access codes were liable to be shot down without question.

作为帝国中最具战略意义的行星之一,卡迪亚拥有庞大的军事存在。卡迪亚战斗舰队为行星提供轨道保护,并可能需要邻近星区舰队的协助,如阿格里皮纳战斗舰队、科罗纳战斗舰队和斯卡鲁斯战斗舰队。这颗行星的表面点缀着许多轨道防御阵列,它的天空由帝国战机的航行巡逻,任何未能传输日常访问代码的民用飞行器都有可能被击落。

Imperial forces keep watch on the Eye of Terror from the surface of Cadia 帝国军队在卡迪亚表面监视恐惧之眼

As a Fortress World, Cadia's entire population belonged to some branch of the Imperial military. Perhaps most famous of all are the Cadian Shock Troopers, regiments raised for service within the Imperial Guard. The Shock Troopers are considered some of the finest soldiers in the entire Imperium, even earning the respect of the legendary Adeptus Astartes. Cadians are well-known for their discipline, marksmanship and stoic sense of self-sacrifice, and are often emulated by other regiments.

作为一个要塞世界,卡迪亚的全部人口都属于帝国军队的某个分支。也许最著名的是卡迪亚突击军,这是为帝国卫队服役而组建的兵团。突击军被认为是整个帝国中最优秀的士兵之一,甚至赢得了传说中的阿斯塔特的尊重。卡迪亚人以其纪律、枪法和坚忍的自我牺牲意识而闻名,经常被其他兵团效仿。

The Planetary Defense Force, known as the Cadian Interior Guard, was also counted among one of the best military organizations. This is because one out of every ten Cadians, regardless of their skills, was assigned to the Interior Guard, resulting in some of the best soldiers spending their entire military career on Cadia.

被称为卡迪安内卫的行星防御部队也被认为是最好的军事组织之一。这是因为每十个卡迪亚人中就有一个,无论他们的技能如何,都被分配到了内卫,导致一些最优秀的士兵在卡迪亚度过了他们的整个军事生涯。

The remains of Cadia 卡迪亚的残骸

Because of its closeness to the Eye of Terror, Cadia also maintained the Internal Guard for defense against Chaos cult activities. A less well-known part of the Cadian military establishment, the Internal Guard consisted of Inquisitors of the Ordo Malleus that had been permanently seconded to the Cadian military, and made frequent use of Sanctioned Psykers.

由于靠近恐惧之眼,卡迪亚保留了内部守卫,以防御混沌教派活动。作为卡迪亚军事机构中不太知名的一部分,内部守卫由长期借调到卡迪亚军队的圣锤修会审判官组成,并经常使用合法灵能者。

Society 社会

Cadian society was heavily militarized, with 71.75% of its total population under arms, and a birth rate equal to the recruitment rate. Cadian children were taught how to strip, reassemble and shoot a lasgun before they were taught how to read. Prior to puberty, they were sent to survive on their own on the isolated islands of the Caducades Sea during the Month of Making, and by age ten most could perform infantry field drills and were proficient in killing. All Cadians were to train in the defense forces, joining the Youth Armies (also known as the Whiteshields) to train alongside regular soldiers and fight mock battles with each other in the Cadian wilderness. Both men and women served within front line roles in both mixed and single sex regiments, with all female regiments tending to serve within the Interior Guard rather than off-world All told, about half of all able-bodied Cadians would join the Shock Troop regiments and be shipped off-world to fight on distant planets, with only one in a thousand ever returning to their place of birth.

卡迪亚社会高度军事化,71.75%的总人口处于武装之下,出生率与征兵率相当。卡迪亚的孩子们在学习阅读之前,先学会了如何拆解、重新组装和射击激光枪。在青春期之前,他们在“制造月”期间被派往卡杜加德斯海的孤岛上独自生存,到10岁时,大多数人都可以进行步兵野战演习,并精通杀戮。所有卡迪亚人都要在防御部队中训练,加入青年军(也称为白盾),与正规军一起训练,并在卡迪亚荒野中相互进行模拟战斗。男女都在混合和单性军团中担任战线角色,所有女性军团都倾向于在内卫而不是世界之外服役。总而言之,大约一半身体健全的卡迪亚人会加入突击军兵团,被运往世界之外,在遥远的行星上作战,只有千分之一的人会回到出生地。

Cadia was under permanent martial law, leading to a number of differences when compared to other Imperial worlds. The role of Planetary Governor was a military one, known as the Governor Primus, similarly serving as leader of the Cadian High Command. In times of emergency, when the Governor Primus was incapacitated, a special military rank of Lord Castellan of Cadia existed that by common consent could take over as commander-in-chief of the Cadian military. Also, there were no Arbites on Cadia, with the role of policing the population falling upon the Cadian Interior Guard.

卡迪亚处于永久戒严状态,与其他帝国世界相比,导致了一些差异。行星总督的角色是一个军事角色,被称为首席总督,同样担任卡迪亚最高司令部的领导人。在紧急情况下,当首席总督丧失能力时,卡迪亚的一个特别军衔存在-领主堡主,经双方同意,可以接任卡迪亚军队的首席指挥官。此外,卡迪亚没有仲裁员,负责维持人口治安的任务落在了卡迪亚内卫身上。

This martial theme extended its way into every aspect of life on Cadia. Civilian clothing incorporated camouflage patterns, available in a variety of urban and wilderness colouring, while the dwellings of both rich and poor were armoured against attack. Cities on Cadia, known as Kasrs in the local dialect, were fortresses in their own right. Each Kasr was protected by powerful Void Shields capable of withstanding days upon days of punishing orbital bombardment. They were encircled by rings of massive earthworks studded with gun emplacements and weapons batteries, separated by an inner moat. Passage over the moat was controlled by hydraulic bascule bridges, each one guarded by a heavily armed barbican, and defended by the many armoured fortifications and shatrovies overlooking it. Once inside, the streets of each Kasr were laid out in elaborate geometric patterns, from the air resembling an intricate puzzle. Every building was constructed to act as a strongpoint in the city's defence: ammunition dumps stored in the underground bunkers of bakeries, gun emplacements on public auditoriums, hab-blocks with reinforced buttresses and vision slits for windows, living rooms which doubled as pillboxes, bastions with rooftop landing pads. Given the Cadians' mastery of urban warfare, this layout allowed them to hold each Kasr for months, even years, should the outer defences fall Tens of thousands of different criminal gangs operated throughout the densely populated Kasrs, with ganger tattoos common amongst the troopers raised from these populations.

这个军事主题延伸到了卡迪亚生活的方方面面。平民服装采用了迷彩图案,有各种城市和荒野颜色可供选择,而富人和穷人的住宅都装有装甲,可以抵御攻击。卡迪亚的城市,在当地方言中被称为卡斯尔,本身就是堡垒。每个卡斯尔都受到强大的虚空盾的保护,能够承受日复一日的轨道轰炸。他们被一圈巨大的土垒包围着,周围点缀着炮位和武器阵列,由一条内护城河隔开。护城河上的通道由液压拱桥控制,每座桥都由全副武装的外堡守卫,并由许多俯瞰护城河的装甲防御工事和城堡进行防御。进入护城河后,每个卡斯尔的街道都以精美的几何图案排列,从空中看就像一个复杂的谜题。每一栋建筑都是为了成为城市防御的据点而建造的:储存在面包店地下掩体中的弹药库、公共礼堂上的炮台、带加固扶壁和窗户视线狭缝的海港、兼作碉堡的客厅、带屋顶登陆场的堡垒。考虑到卡迪亚人对城市战争的掌握,这种布局使他们能够在外部防御工事倒塌的情况下,将每个卡斯尔控制数月甚至数年。数万个不同的犯罪帮派在人口稠密的卡斯尔活动,从这些人口中长大的士兵身上常见着帮派纹身。

Social class on Cadia was dictated by military rank, which in turn lead to the upper echelons of command within the Cadian regiments to be highly classist - importance being placed on being from a military family or one's bloodlines as well as military competence.

卡迪亚的社会阶层是由军衔决定的,这反过来又导致卡迪亚兵团中的高层指挥具有高度的阶级主义 — 重视出身于军人家庭或血统以及军事能力。

The ever-constant death toll from Chaos incursions, combined with the limited amount of land available, had also lead to the implementation of the Law of Decipherability. Every graveyard on Cadia was maintained by local priests who routinely checked the tombstones of the honoured dead for legibility. When a section of the cemetery was deemed illegible, those graves are exhumed and the bones were added to a communal pit. Because their names were no longer known, the need to honour their memory had passed, and the space could be reused.

混沌入侵造成的持续死亡人数,再加上可用土地数量有限,也导致了解密法的实施。卡迪亚的每个墓地都由当地牧师维护,他们定期检查荣誉死者的墓碑是否清晰。当墓地的一部分被认为难以辨认时,这些坟墓被挖掘出来,骨头被添加到一个公共坑中。因为他们的名字不再为人所知,纪念他们的需要已经过去,这个空间可以重复使用。

Most Cadians have purple eyes - the genetic heritage of this planet.

大多数卡迪亚人都有紫色的眼睛 — 这是这个行星的基因遗产。

Economy 经济

Cadia was heavily industrialized with a large population of skilled workers dedicated to producing military equipment. This allowed Cadia to outfit its Shock Troopers with only the best military equipment. Such was the rate and scale of production on Cadia that it was the largest exporter of arms and munitions in the region.

卡迪亚高度工业化,有大量技术工人致力于生产军事装备。这使得卡迪亚能为其突击军配备最好的军事装备。卡迪亚的生产速度和规模之快,使其成为该地区最大的武器和弹药出口商。
