Scintilla is the sector capital of the Calixis Sector.

辛提拉是卡利西斯星区的星区首都。

Overview 概述

The world is governed by Calixis' Sector Governor, currently Marius Hax. It is a thriving Imperial hub that supports the largest planetary population in the territory. It is dominated by two vast hive cities, Hive Sibellus and Hive Tarsus which hold the majority of the planetary population. Despite the dominance of those two hives, the "offspring" communities of Ambulon and Gunmetal City contribute significantly to the planet's economy as well. Scintilla is a world where the powerful and wealthy compete with ruthless appetite. Magnificence is astonishing on Scintilla, from the wondrous fashions of the hive's nobility to the spectacle of the hives themselves. Landmarks like Lucid Palace and the Cathedral of Illumination, are famous throughout the Calixis Sector.

世界由卡利西斯的星区总督马里乌斯·哈克斯管理。它是一个繁荣的帝国中心，支持着该地区最大的行星人口。它由两个巨大的巢都城市主导，西贝卢斯巢都和塔苏斯巢都，这两个城市拥有行星上大部分的人口。尽管这两个巢都占据主导地位，但安布隆和炮铜城的“后代”社区也为行星的经济做出了重大贡献。辛提拉是一个强者和富人与无情欲望竞争的世界。辛提拉的壮观令人惊叹，从巢都贵族的奇妙时尚到巢都本身的奇观。清醒宫殿和启明大教堂等地标在整个卡利西斯星区都很有名。

It is also a world of corruption where members of noble houses are deluded by their wealth and status and the corruption and privilege runs deep in the culture of the high-born. Noble houses consider themselves (sometimes correctly) as above or outside Imperial law and can wield immense influence. Their attitude towards the lower-born is callous; it is not unknown for thrill-seeking degenerates from noble houses to prey upon lesser humans as a sport.

这也是一个腐败的世界，贵族阶层的成员被他们的财富和地位所迷惑，腐败和特权深深植根于贵族的文化中。贵族认为自己（有时是正确的）凌驾于帝国法律之上或之外，可以施加巨大的影响。他们对低收入者的态度冷酷无情；寻求刺激的人从贵族家族到折磨低等人类作为一种运动，这并不罕见。

On the other end of the social spectrum, the underhives are rife with mutants, outlaws and ultra-violent gangs, as well psychotic zealots from the Redemption Cult.

在社会光谱的另一端，下巢充斥着变种人、亡命徒和极端暴力帮派，以及来自救赎教派的精神狂热分子。

The middle hives are trapped between aristo spires and rancid underhives and the hivers live the thankless life of unending toil, where ignorance is a virtue and death a reward for a lifetime of loyal, drone servitude, fulfilling the exorbitant tithes levied on Scintilla by the Administratum. It has been this way since the days of Angevin and some of Scintilla corruption is so deeply ingrained that it is invisible even to those who perpetrate it.

中巢被困在贵族尖塔和腐烂的下巢之间，巢都人过着吃力不讨好的无休止的劳动生活，无知是一种美德，死亡是终身忠诚，如蜂般役使的回报，实现了内务部对辛提拉征收的过高什一税。自从安茹时期以来，情况就是这样，一些辛提拉的腐败根深蒂固，甚至对那些实施腐败的人来说也是看不见的。

Geography 地理

Scintilla has three main continents: one surrounds the planet's southern polar cap and is mountainous (including a number of volcanoes), the second is an equatorial crescent covered in extensive deserts and jungle (featuring both Hive Tarsus and the extinct Hive Tenebra), and the final is a northern temperate landmass, home to Hive Sibellus, Ambulon and Gunmetal City. A heavily polluted ocean covers the rest of the planet's surface. This ocean does support lifeforms, but its fish stocks have been heavily depleted.

辛提拉有三个主要大陆：一个围绕着行星的南极极冠，多山（包括许多火山），第二个是赤道新月，覆盖着广阔的沙漠和丛林（以塔苏斯巢都和已绝迹的阴影巢都占重要地位），最后一个是北温带地块，是西贝卢斯巢都、安布隆和炮铜城的所在地。严重污染的海洋覆盖了行星表面的其余部分。这片海洋确实支持生命形式，但其鱼类种群已经严重枯竭。

The overall climate is temperate.

整体气候温和。

Hives Sibellus and Tarsus 西贝卢斯和塔苏斯巢都

The two hives are Scintilla's most important features: immense, multi-levelled cities that house billions of citizens. The hives are largely independent, ruled by the councils drawn from the nobles of the spires. The majority of the inhabitants of the middle hives are the laboring class, without whom the planet's manufactories and trade houses would cease to function. Almost all middle hivers are owned or indentured to nobles from great sector-wide families or Scintilla's own lesser houses. The most neglected, polluted and crime-ridden areas of the hives are underhives, where life is cheap and brutal gangs fight for supremacy before inevitable violent death claims them. As long as the violence doesn't spill into middle hives, the authorities are happy to let the gangs kill each other in the cesspit of the underhive.

这两个巢都是辛提拉最重要的特征：容纳数十亿公民的巨大、多层次的城市。巢都基本上是独立的，由尖塔贵族组成的议会统治。中巢的大多数居民是劳动阶级，没有他们，行星上的制造厂和贸易家族将停止运作。几乎所有的中巢人都是来自大全星区家庭或辛提拉自己的次级家族的贵族所拥有或签订的契约。巢都中最被忽视、污染最严重、犯罪最猖獗的地区是下巢，那里的生活成本很低，残酷的帮派在不可避免的暴力死亡之前争夺霸权。只要暴力不蔓延到中巢，当局就很乐意让帮派在下巢的粪坑里互相残杀。

Scintilla's two great hives have always competed against each other for prestige and influence, but no rational observer could fail to acknowledge Hive Sibellus's dominance. It is larger than Hive Tarsus, referred to as "the Capital" or the "ruling hive" and is the seat of both political and administrative power and the centre of the planet's manufacturing might. Hive Tarsus is a dark, shadowy twin of the Hives Sibellus, referred by Sibellians as the "other place" and is a mercantile hive which controls all off-world trade and commerce. Neither hive could function without each other, a fact celebrated in Scintillan proverbs and myths. However neither great hive could openly admit the importance of "offspring" communities, Ambulon and Gunmetal City, both of which wield considerable influence.

辛提拉的两个大巢都一直在争夺声望和影响力，但任何理性的观察者都不会不承认西贝卢斯巢都的统治地位。它比被称为“首都”或“统治巢都”的塔苏斯巢都还要大，是政治和行政权力的所在地，也是行星制造业的中心。塔苏斯巢都是西贝卢斯巢都的一个黑暗、阴暗的双胞胎，西贝卢斯人称之为“另一个地方”，是一个控制着所有世界贸易和商业的商业巢都。这两个巢都都离不开彼此，这一点在辛提拉的谚语和神话中得到了证实。然而，这两个大巢都都不能公开承认“后代”社区的重要性，安布隆和炮铜城，这两座社区都有相当大的影响力。

Society 社会

Military 军事

The planet possesses a large Planetary Defence Force called the Army of the Scintillan Protectorate, which is based out of Hive Tarsus. This army is regarded as relatively high quality.

这颗行星拥有一支庞大的行星防御部队，名为辛提拉保护军，其基地设在塔苏斯巢都。这支军队被认为是相对高素质的。

In addition, Scintilla raises Imperial Guard Regiments known as the Scintillan Fusiliers. A large number of recruits are drawn from Scintilla, from both the PDF and the planet's large underhive population.

此外，辛提拉还培养了被称为辛提拉燧发枪手的帝国卫队兵团。大量新兵来自辛提拉，来自PDF和行星上庞大的下巢人口。

Economy 经济

The local coinage of Scintilla are denominations of Thrones known as Scints, Scolds and Scabs. In the depths of Gunmetal City, however, some communities are known to trade rounds of ammunition as alternative currency.

辛提拉的当地货币是被称为辛币、辛金和辛票的王座币面额。然而，在炮铜城的深处，一些社区以交换弹药作为替代货币而闻名。

In addition to the manpower the planet provides for the Astra Militarum, Scintilla is a major exporter of manufactured goods, including ship-drive components and weaponry.

除了行星为星界军提供的人力外，辛提拉还是制成品的主要出口者，包括舰船驱动部件和武器。

In terms of imports, Scintilla cannot produce enough food to support itself, requiring supplies brought in from multiple agri-worlds across the Calixis Sector.

在进口方面，辛提拉无法生产足够的粮食来养活自己，需要从卡利西斯星区的多个农业世界进口物资。

Religion 宗教

The Cult of the Redemption is active on several planets, but its spiritual home in the Calixis Sector is Scintilla.

救赎教派在几个行星上都很活跃，但它在卡利西斯星区的精神家园是辛提拉。

Satellites 卫星

Scintillia has two moons, called Sothus and Lachesis, the latter of which is home to an Inquisitorial fortress called the Bastion Serpentis.

辛提拉有两个卫星，分别是索托斯和拉刻西斯，后者是一个名为天蛇堡垒的审判庭堡垒的所在地。

In addition to the planet's natural satellites, there is a set of orbital docks in geostationary orbit above Hive Tarsus.

除了行星的天然卫星外，在塔苏斯巢都上方的行星静止轨道上还有一组轨道码头。
