Imperial Currencies are the various different types of money that are used across the Imperium. While human life itself is the only universal currency in the Imperium, (with contracts for bartered goods second) most monetary currencies only retain their value within their specific locale, such as a select planet or system. What primarily drives goods and services between stars is barter, favours, debts, and obligations.

帝国货币是帝国中使用的各种不同类型的货币。虽然人命本身是帝国中唯一的通用货币(易货合同排在第二位),但大多数货币只在其特定地区(如选定的行星或星系)保留其价值。主要驱动群星之间商品和服务的是易货、支持、债务和职责。

Overview 概述

Generally, currency consists of whatever objects are a common exchange unit in a given locale - government coins, intangible ledger-data, ammunition, gold nuggets, even shells picked from a beach. The currencies of mankind are as varied as the worlds of the Galaxy.

一般来说,货币由特定地区常见的交换单元组成 — 政府硬币、无形账本数据、弹药、金块,甚至是从海滩上捡来的贝壳。人类的货币就像银河系的世界一样多种多样。

A major trade hub such as Port Wander, situated on the border between the Calixis Sector and Koronus Expanse, might see a hundred different currencies brought in by merchants and Rogue Traders - even some that were issued by said Rogue Traders, for many such men and women of power wish to see their face upon coins and parchment notes. In such a place, even the money-changers of the Administratum may prove corrupt or simply busy, and thus a mix of currencies continues to be used.

位于卡利西斯星区和克罗努斯扩区交界处的漫游港等主要贸易中心可能会看到商人和行商浪人带来一百种不同的货币,甚至有些是由行商浪人发行的,因为许多这样的有权势的男女希望在硬币和纸币上看到他们的脸。在这样一个地方,即使是内务部的货币交换者也可能被证明是腐败的或只是很忙,因此继续使用多种货币。

Human systems isolated from the Imperium may have varied currency within their own worlds. While some like Nadeush are able to maintain paper currency and scrip backed by the wealth of the local Maraj noble families, others like war-torn Zayth has each mobile hive city circulating their own currencies of stamped ingots of precious metals hung upon loops of silver wire, and still other worlds have resorted to barter with both parties being heavily armed.

与帝国隔绝的人类星系可能在自己的世界里有不同的货币。虽然像纳杜什这样的能够用当地马拉吉贵族家族的财富来维持纸币和代券,但像饱受战争蹂躏的扎伊特这样的其他则让每个移动巢都城市流通自己的货币,这些货币是贵金属的冲压锭块被悬挂在银丝制成的环上,还有一些世界则采取了易货的方式,双方都全副武装。

In the void of space, pirates, often the descendants of Imperial outcasts and refugees, may understand the value of more standardized Imperial currency - yet to use these for trade without a display of force or bloodshed is often seen as a weakness. More ruthless pirates and Corsairs might trade in hacksilver, technology, ammunition, even slaves - with even darker rumours abounding of trapped souls and bottled life.

在虚空空域,海盗,通常是帝国弃民和难民的后代,可能会理解更标准化的帝国货币的价值,但在不展示武力或流血的情况下将其用于贸易往往被视为一种软弱。更无情的海盗和私掠者可能会交易碎银、技术、弹药,甚至奴隶 — 甚至还有更黑暗的谣言,说有受困灵魂和瓶装生命。

Despite all this, when the time comes, a more standardized Segmentum-wide currency such as Thrones will be what is used to assess and evaluate the value of goods and materials for the Imperial Tithe in comparison to other Imperial factions.

尽管如此,当时机成熟时,一种更标准化的星域宽度货币,如王座币,将用于评定和评估帝国什一税中商品和物资的价值,并将其与其他帝国派系进行比较。

Listed here are some examples of currencies in the Imperium, both those widely used or those more specific to smaller locations.

这里列出了帝国货币的一些例子,既有广泛使用的货币,也有更特定于较小地区的货币。

Although these are as valuable as the currency data stored within and are easily stolen. Most of the population relies on chit books and ration tokens.

  • 王座币 - 自荷鲁斯叛乱以来,卡利西斯星区一直使用的钱币,直到今天的M41。如今,它是朦胧星域接受的众多货币之一,用于衡量帝国什一税的价值。每枚王座钱币的大小与一枚五天鹰币相同。

Profit Factor 利润因子

The great wealth afforded by a Rogue Trader, coupled with the sheer differences in local currencies, makes it impractical for them to make regular use of something so trivial as currency. The counting of currency is thought of as work more befitting scribes and commoners. Rogue traders stand far, far above the tyranny of coin that causes most men to check their purse whether they can afford their next meal. Whether it is acquiring a relic weapon, yet another mercenary company, a thousand lasguns, a set rare gems or a vortex torpedo, Rogue Traders find it more convenient to measure their wealth in terms of Profit Factor, calculated by his or her loyal scribes. Profit Factor can be used to measure the relative power of a Rogue Trader's dynasty, particularly compared to other Imperial factions.

行商浪人提供的巨大财富,加上当地货币的巨大差异,使他们无法经常使用货币这样微不足道的东西。货币计数被认为是更适合文士和平民的工作。行商浪人远远超过了硬币的专制,导致大多数人检查他们的资金,看他们是否能负担得起下一顿饭。无论是获得一件圣物武器、或另一个雇佣兵连队、一千支激光枪、一套稀有宝石还是一枚漩涡鱼雷,行商浪人都发现用他或她忠诚的文士计算的利润因子来衡量他们的财富更方便。利润因子可用于衡量行商浪人的王朝的相对力量,特别是与其他帝国派系相比。
