The Standard Template Construct (STC) systems were artificial intelligences created during the Dark Age of Technology (M21 - M23). They are said to have contained the entirety of human technological knowledge up to that point. Following the Dark Age of Technology, the systems became increasingly rare, until becoming lost entirely. In the current Age of the Imperium, the ancient technological knowledge survives only because it was preserved in STC hard copies.
标准模板构造（STC）系统是在黑暗技术时代（M21-M23）创建的人工智能。据说，到那时为止，它们已经包含了人类所有的技术知识。在黑暗技术时代之后，这些系统变得越来越罕见，直到完全消失。在当前的帝国时代，古代技术知识之所以幸存下来，只是因为它被保存在STC的硬拷贝中。

Description 描绘
An intact STC system is described as a "machine, a vast device made of brilliant white ceramics, silver piping, chromium chambers". The Constructor is controlled by a panel beside it, with amber lights to show its activation. When activated, cowlings near the floor vent steam. When a new creation is finished, a hatch on its side opens up to allow the creation to be retrieved.
一个完整的STC系统被描述为“机器，一个由明亮的白色陶瓷、银色管道、铬室组成的巨大装置”。构造器由其旁边的面板控制，琥珀色灯显示其激活状态。激活后，地板附近的整流罩会排出蒸汽。当新创建完成时，其侧面会打开，以允许检索创建。
STCs come in all shapes and sizes, with many not even being machines at all but rather simple blueprints or pieces of fragmented digital data. Others are huge mechanical constructs that can hold an array of construction templates while directly producing working operational prototypes. STCs seem to have some degree of artificial intelligence, as the construct on Necromunda orchestrated a series of industrial sabotage actions against House Hera after they unwittingly launched a hacking attack against it.
STC有各种形状和大小，其中许多甚至根本不是机器，而是简单的蓝图或零碎的数字数据。其他一些是巨大的机械结构，可以容纳一系列结构模板，同时直接生产可工作的操作原型。STC似乎具有一定程度的人工智能，因为涅克罗蒙达上的构造在赫拉家族无意中对其发动黑客攻击后，策划了一系列针对赫拉家族的工业破坏行动。
History 历史
The Dark Age of Technology saw the original development of the technology the Imperium is now reliant on, which was encapsulated into the STC systems. Along with the creation of Warp Drive technology and the human mutants known as Navigators, the STC systems were one of the major factors in mankind's expansion outside the solar system and his conquest of the stars. The STC system allowed disparate mankind to maintain a standard level of technology. A complete, functioning STC system was an evolved computer designed to provide construction details for human colonists, enabling them to build efficient shelters, generators and transports without any prior knowledge and using almost any locally available materials. For example, a user could simply ask how to build a house or a tractor and the computer would supply all the necessary plans.
黑暗技术时代见证了帝国现在所依赖的技术的最初发展，该技术被封装在STC系统中。随着亚空间驱动技术和被称为导航者的人类变种人的发明，STC系统是人类在太阳系外扩张和征服群星的主要因素之一。STC系统允许不同的人类保持标准的技术水平。一个完整、功能齐全的STC系统是一种进化的计算机，旨在为人类殖民者提供构造细节，使他们能够在没有任何先验知识的情况下，使用几乎任何当地可用的材料，建造高效的庇护所、发电机和运输工具。例如，使用者只需询问如何建造房屋或牵引车，计算机就会提供所有必要的计划。
The Age of Strife 纷争时代
During the Age of Strife, the STC systems lapsed into disuse and decayed, becoming increasingly unreliable and quirky. On some worlds they were maintained, but most suffered damage by enthusiastic software specialists or subsequent jury-rigging. Hard copies of the information they contained survived much longer, and were frequently copied and passed down from generation to generation.
在纷争时代，STC系统逐渐被废弃和衰弱，变得越来越不可靠和古怪。在一些世界上，它们得到了维护，但大多数都受到了热忱的软件专家或随后的临时拼凑的破坏。它们所包含的信息的硬拷贝保存的时间要长得多，并且经常被复制并代代相传。
Some Imperial historians have theorised that scientists during the Age of Technology foresaw the coming of the Age of Strife, and created the STCs to ensure that their knowledge would not be lost to future generations.
一些帝国历史学家提出理论，认为科技时代的科学家预见到了纷争时代的到来，并创建了STC，以确保他们的知识不会被后代遗失。
The Age of the Imperium 帝国时代
In the Age of the Imperium, working STC systems are practically unknown. The recovery of fragments of an STC or the templates used in one is the primary focus of the Adeptus Mechanicus's quest for knowledge. Part of this quest is also to find, collate and utilise STC print-outs. A functioning STC system is their equivalent to a font of all knowledge (which is exactly what it was intended to be). Ancient recovered print-outs from STC systems are regarded as sacred texts. The Mechanicus strives to recover as much information as possible from them, hoping to find new knowledge, weapons and technologies.
在帝国时代，工作的STC系统几乎是未知的。恢复STC的片段或其中使用的模板是机械神教寻求知识的主要重点。这项任务的一部分也是查找、整理和利用STC打印输出。一个正常运作的STC系统相当于所有知识的字模（这正是它的本意）。从STC系统中恢复的古代印刷被视为神圣的文本。机械教努力从他们那里恢复尽可能多的信息，希望找到新的知识、武器和技术。
Probably the most significant find of an STC fragment was by Magos Arkhan Land in M31. This fragment contained the templates for the construction of the now famous Land Raider Main Battle Tank, and the Land Speeder, all named in honour of their discoverer. An intact, functional STC is so rare in the galaxy as to be regarded as almost mythical. Nevertheless, even a rumour that such a system has been found is enough to prompt a Mechanicus expedition to locate it.
STC碎片最重要的发现可能是M31的贤者阿坎·兰德。这个碎片包含了建造现在著名的兰德掠袭者战斗坦克和兰德速攻艇的模板，所有这些都是为了纪念它们的发现者而命名的。完整、功能齐全的STC在银河系中非常罕见，几乎被视为神话。然而，即使有传言说已经发现了这样一个系统，也足以促使机械教探索队找到它。
According to Mars' archives, Archmagos Dominus Cawl has recovered more STC patterns than any other Magos in history.
根据火星的档案，神圣大贤者考尔比历史上任何其他贤者都恢复了更多的STC模版。
Leagues of Votann 沃坦联盟
The Leagues of Votann share a common Human ancestry with the Imperium, and as a result their original mining fleets dispatched to the Galactic Core during the Long March possessed a large number of sophisticated STCs. The Votann are able to utilize these STCs to produce a variety of war engines and other types of equipment. Unlike the Imperials, the Votann will improve upon STC designs and use multiple STCs to craft new systems, such as the Sagitaur ATV.
沃坦联盟与帝国有着共同的人类祖先，因此，他们在长征期间派往银河系核心的原初采矿舰队拥有大量复杂的STC。沃坦能够利用这些STC生产各种战争引擎和其他类型的设备。与帝国不同，沃坦将改进STC设计，并使用多个STC来制造新系统，如人马座ATV。
Ork 欧克
It is speculated by Imperial scholars that at a point in the ancient past, the then-dominant Brain Boyz developed their own "Ork Standard Construction Templates" to which much of Ork technology owes its origin. However, these legendary speculative STCs, if they existed, have been lost to time.
帝国学者推测，在古代的某个时刻，当时占主导地位的聪明小子开发了自己的“欧克标准构建模板”，欧克技术的大部分都起源于此。然而，这些传说中的猜测STC（如果存在的话）已经随着时间的推移而消失了。
Significant STC discoveries 标志性的STC发现
M30-M31
In M30, the STC designs for the Baal Predator were discovered on the planet of Atium III within the ruins of Arch-Heretek Lord de Ladt’s fortress by the Blood Angels Space Marine Legion. The Blood Angels refused to hand this STC over to the Adeptus Mechancius and it is currently still stored on the Blood Angel's homeworld of Baal.
在M30，巴尔掠食者的STC设计是由圣血天使星际战士军团在阿特姆三号行星上的大技术异端领主的拉特堡垒的废墟中发现的。圣血天使拒绝将这个STC交给机械神教，目前它仍存储在圣血天使的家园世界巴尔。
Sometime in M31, the Magos Arkhan Land discovered within the Librarius Omnis the STCs for Land's Raider-Pattern Main Battle Tank, Land's Crawler multi-purpose heavy utility vehicle, the Mars Universal Land Engine (the basis of the Onager Dunecrawler), and the information on rare anti-gravitic plates used in Land's Speeder, all of which are named after him.
在M31的某个时候，贤者阿坎·兰德在全知智库内发现了用于兰德掠袭者型主战坦克、兰德爬行者多目标重型多用途载具、火星通用兰德引擎（野驴沙丘爬行者的基础）的STC，以及兰德速攻艇中使用的罕见反重力板的信息，所有这些都是以他的名字命名的。
During the Great Crusade, the STC for the Leman Russ Battle Tank was discovered by the Space Wolves after they had destroyed the Noman xenos. They named the fruits of the STC in honour of their Primarch.
在大远征期间，黎曼·鲁斯战斗坦克的STC被太空野狼在摧毁了诺曼异型后发现。他们为STC的果实命名，以纪念他们的原体。

Two STC fragments were captured from the Auretian Technocracy by the Warmaster Horus Lupercal prior to his rebellion against the Imperium. One for a new pattern of power armour, the other for lightweight solar generators capable of "supplying the power needs of an Epsilon 5 pattern forge complex".This technology was gifted to the Fabricator-General of Mars at the time, Kelbor-Hal, to secure his loyalty for the rebellion. The Technocracy had fully functional STC machines, although they were destroyed to prevent the Sons of Horus from capturing them.
在反抗帝国之前，战帅荷鲁斯·卢佩卡尔从奥瑞提安技术联盟手中缴获了两个STC碎片。一种用于新型动力盔甲，另一种用于能够“满足艾普西隆5型铸造厂能量需求”的轻型太阳能发电机。这项技术被赠送给当时的火星铸造将军凯尔博·哈尔，以确保他对叛乱的忠诚。技术联盟拥有功能齐全的STC机械，尽管它们被摧毁以防止荷鲁斯之子夺取它们。
M32-M39
During the period known as "The Forging" in M32, a valuable STC database was rediscovered in the Cana System.
在M32中被称为“大锻造”的时期，在卡纳星系中重新发现了一个有价值的STC数据库。
In the end of the Icaria Crusade in M35, an ancient factory complex with databanks from the Dark Age of Technology was located on Fornost by the Frateris Templars. The church bartered the knowledge of the location of these databanks in exchange for exclusive rights to any technologies stored within them. While the databanks only had half-formed STCs for a flame thrower equipped tank, these STCs were combined with the STC for the Rhino to create the Immolator subpattern.
在M35的伊卡利亚远征结束时，圣堂兄弟会在佛诺斯特建立了一个拥有黑暗技术时代数据库的古老工厂建筑群。教会交换了这些数据库的位置信息，以换取存储在其中的任何技术的专有权。虽然数据库中只有配备火焰喷射器的坦克的半成型STC，但这些STC与犀牛的STC相结合，创建了献祭者子型号。
During the War of Recovery in 104.M36, several first generation copies of STC databases concerning certain individual technologies were recovered on the planets of the Mortuam Chain.
在104.M36的恢复战争期间，在亡者星链的行星上恢复了几个关于某些个人技术的STC数据库的第一代副本。
In M36, the STCs for weapon suits known as the XV Bellam Ravager and Thermae Missile Suit were discovered by the Adeptus Mechanicus, but proved too difficult to reproduce.
在M36，被称为XV贝拉姆掠夺者和浴场导弹机甲的STC被机械神教发现，但事实证明很难复制。
In M36, the STC for a larger chassis of Land Speeder was discovered; this would be used to create the Land Speeder Vengeance and Darkshroud variants.

在189887.M39之前的某个时候，大贤者普洛斯克恢复了五个一代STC打印输出。
In 189887.M39, a complete STC database was discovered within the pre-Imperium void ship Spirit of Eternity. Despite resistance from the STC's A.I., Archmagos Plosk was able to download a significant fraction of the STC database before the ship managed to escape. This was an uncorrupted A.I., but it was insane with grief over the death of its captain.
189887.M39年，在帝国前的虚空舰永恒之魂号中发现了一个完整的STC数据库。尽管STC的A.I.存在反抗，大贤者普洛斯克还是能够在舰船设法逃脱之前下载STC数据库的很大一部分。这是一个没有腐化的人工智能，但它对船长的去世感到非常悲痛。
In M39, the STC template for the Omega Pattern Plasma Blastgun was discovered by Explorator Magos Valistle Hum'nal.
在M39，探索贤者瓦利斯尔·胡姆'纳尔发现了欧米伽型等离子爆破枪的STC模板。
M40-M41

在M40的某个时候，黑暗天使发现了改进喷气发动机的STC，并将其命名为“狮心”引擎。这些被用来制造拿非利喷气式战斗机。黑暗天使拒绝将这个STC交给机械神教。
Prior to 775.M41, an STC for a combat knife was discovered by two Imperial Guard Scouts that was "sharper and lighter and tougher." They were hailed as heroes for this discovery, and received a planet each. The knife was adopted by 30 chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.
在775.M41之前，两名帝国卫队侦察兵发现了一把战斗刀的STC，它“更锋利、更轻便、更坚固”。他们被誉为这一发现的英雄，并各自获得了一颗行星。这把刀被阿斯塔特修会的30个战团所采用。
Between 775.M41 - 778.M41, a Standard Template Constructor, designed to produce the legendary Men of Iron, was discovered on the planet Menazoid Epsilon, during the Sabbat Worlds Crusade by Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt. However, the Constructor had been corrupted by the long-time occupation of the planet by the forces of Chaos, and so Gaunt ordered it destroyed, inadvertently thwarting the plans of Lord Militant Hechtor Dravere and Radical Inquisitor Golesh Heldane to use the Men of Iron for their own advancement.
在775.M41-778.M41之间，在安息日世界远征期间，伊布拉姆·冈特团长政委在梅纳佐德艾普西隆行星上发现了一个标准模板构造，旨在制造传说中的铁人。然而，构造器已经被混沌势力长期占领行星所腐化，因此冈特下令将其摧毁，无意中挫败了军务领主赫克托·德拉维尔和激进派审判官戈莱什·赫尔德恩利用铁人来为自己的发展的计划。
In 992.M41, the STCs for most of the Astraeus Super-heavy Tank were recovered by the Minotaurs chapter Astartes during the Perun Cross Incident.

In 992.M41 began the Scouring of Johan's Eden, resulting in the recovery of three STCs.
992.M41，开始了对约翰伊甸园的清洗，导致三个STC被追回。
In 999.M41, an original STC Titan, a "Castigor-class autonomous bipedal weapons platform, created for fire support and siege operations", was discovered on the planet Chaeroneia. It was quite larger than an Imperator Titan and of superior technology. The Titan, and its STC A.I., were destroyed by a force of Grey Knights, although some data fragments remains were collected by the Adeptus Mechanicus.
999.M41，在喀罗尼亚行星上发现了一个原始的STC泰坦，一个“为火力支援和攻城行动而创建的惩罚者级自主双足武器平台”。它比帝皇级泰坦大得多，技术也很先进。泰坦及其STC的A.I.被灰骑士部队摧毁，尽管机械神教收集了一些数据碎片。
While connected to the Machine Spirit of the Ark Mechanicus ship Speranza, Archmagos Lexell Kotov discovered that the ship contained a complete and still updating STC database containing all the knowledge of the Men of Gold and their ancestors. He theorised that all Ark Mechanicus ships contained such a database, but that the priesthood have been unable to access the files. This information was wiped from his mind upon disconnecting from the ship's Machine Spirit.
在连接到机械方舟舰希望号的机魂时，大贤者列克谢尔·科托夫发现该舰包含一个完整且仍在更新的STC数据库，其中包含了金人及其祖先的所有知识。他推测，所有机械方舟都包含这样一个数据库，但祭司无法访问这些文件。在与船上的机魂断开连接后，这条信息从他脑海中消失了。
An unknown time before the Kotov Crusade, Magos Ozimandian unlocked the STC engine fragment of Beta Umojas. This lead to a 5% paradigm shift.
在科托夫远征之前的一个未知时间，贤者奥兹曼迪安解锁了贝塔乌莫贾斯的STC引擎碎片。这导致了5%的范式转移。
Less than half a millennia prior to the Kotov Crusade, Magos Phlogiston discovered a near complete STC for a certain design of Titan-class plasma reactor kick-starter. The kick-starter was designed to bring the reactor up to full power in the shortest time possible. Among the missing data-fragments were components needed to prevent the kick-starter from driving the reactor into uncontrolled critical mass. Due to this, the designs were archived, instead of being put into production.
在科托夫远征前不到半个千年，贤者弗洛吉斯顿发现了一个近乎完整的STC，用于泰坦级等离子反应堆启动装置的某种设计。启动装置的设计目的是在最短的时间内使反应堆达到满功率。在缺失的数据片段中，有一些是防止启动装置将反应堆推向失控临界质量所需的组件。因此，这些设计被存档，而不是投入生产。
An STC called Panacea, a medical miracle that could save billions of human lives from poison and disease, was found on the Imperial Forge World Verdigris IX. It was stolen by the Dark Eldar Malys and her Kabal in the Panacea Wars.
在帝国铸造世界铜绿九号上发现了一个名为万灵药的STC，这是一种可以拯救数十亿人免受毒药和疾病侵害的医学奇迹。它在万灵药战争中被黑暗灵族马里斯和她的阴谋团偷走了。
An STC library is located on the planet Hito. This planet escaped the Warp and was reclaimed by the Imperium. The library was hidden by the local Order of Heavenly Virtues who managed to deceive Imperial agents. This was achieved by the display of library of hard copies of STC print outs, leading the Imperium to believe that was the reputed STC library, when in actuality an actual STC was hidden far beneath the displayed library and only accessible via teleportarium.
一个STC图书馆位于喜多行星上。这颗行星逃脱了亚空间，被帝国夺回。图书馆被当地的天德修会隐藏起来，他们设法欺骗了帝国特工。这是通过展示STC打印件的硬拷贝的图书馆实现的，这使得帝国相信这是著名的STC图书馆，而实际上，一个真正的STC隐藏在所展示的图书馆下面很远的地方，只能通过传送室访问。
The STCs for the Lion Pattern boltgun and "Inferno" pattern Avenger ground attack craft were discovered in the space hulk Olethros by a Dark Angels Terminator squad. The bolter's STC was found in the fused wreckage of a pre-heresy Dark Angels ship, Caliban's Will. Lesser STC fragments were also recovered, such as those for a industrial plasma cooler, bunker, and military cot. STC fragments for Mk.IV power armour and an Arc Rifle were also recovered throughout the Space Hulk.
莱昂型爆矢枪和炼狱型复仇者对地攻击机的STC是由一个黑暗天使终结者小队在太空废船毁灭号中发现的。在叛乱前的黑暗天使号舰船卡利班之愿号的熔融残骸中发现了爆矢枪的STC。还回收了较小的STC碎片，如工业等离子冷却器、地堡和行军床。用于Mk.IV动力盔甲和电弧步枪的STC碎片也在整个太空废船中回收。
The STC schematics for a Geller Device aka an Empyeral Bomb was developed on the Forgeworld Velchanos Magna and deployed in an attempt to clear a nearby warpstorm. Unfortunately the device caused the warpstorm to envelop the planet and it was declared lost for centuries. The STC was rediscovered by Magos-Explorator Omnid Torquora in the wreckage of the Stella-Xenithica. In reality, the STC had been planted in the derelict as a trap by the Iron Warriors, in a ploy to capture both forgeworlds. Omnid destroyed all copies of the STC due to it causing the destruction of two entire forgeworlds and countless Mechanicus forces.
盖勒装置（又名至高天炸弹）的STC示意图是在铸造世界大维尔查诺斯上开发的，并部署在附近的一场亚空间风暴中。不幸的是，该装置导致了亚空间风暴笼罩了行星，并被宣布失落了几个世纪。STC被探索贤者奥尼迪·托夸拉在泽尼西卡群星的残骸中重新发现。事实上，STC被钢铁勇士作为陷阱埋在了这片废弃的土地上，目的是占领这两个铸造世界。奥尼迪销毁了STC的所有副本，因为它导致了两个完整的铸造世界和无数机械教部队的毁灭。
The STC for a type of paint, provisionally known as Substance 145XX22, was rediscovered by a combined force of Skitarii and Imperial Guard. The paint bared a unique chemical composition and allowed for the painting of wargear to be completed in a much shorter time. While the Skitarii suffered heavy causalities in recovering the STC, it was secured for the Imperium by Commissar Trast. The discovery of this STC caused rebellion on several Hive Worlds responsible for painting vehicles and forced the Imperium to enact a full compliance action upon the citizens of the pigment-wells of Agrax. Due to this, the STC was suspected of being somehow corrupted by Chaos. The STC took several hundred years to be declared uncorrupted and fully sanctioned by the Senatorum Imperialis. For securing the STC, Commissar Trast was rewarded with a governorship over a low-level agri-world and naming rights of Substance 145XX22. Unfortunately, as it took several hundred years for the STC to be fully sanctioned, it is unlikely that Commissar Trast survived long enough to receive the reward.
一种涂料的STC，暂时被称为物质145XX22，被护教军和帝国卫队的联合部队重新发现。这种涂料具有独特的化学成分，可以在更短的时间内完成战争装备的涂装。虽然护教军在夺回STC的过程中遭受了重大伤亡，但特拉斯特政委为帝国确保了STC的安全。STC的发现引发了几个负责载具涂装的巢都世界的叛乱，并迫使帝国对阿格拉克斯的颜料井的公民采取全面的平定行动。因此，STC被怀疑以某种方式被混沌所腐化。STC花了几百年的时间才被宣布没有腐化，并得到了帝国参议院的充分认可。为了确保STC的安全，特拉斯特政委获得了低级别农业世界的总督职位和145XX22物质的命名权。不幸的是，由于STC需要几百年才能完全获得批准，特拉斯特政委不太可能存活足够长的时间来获得奖励。
After the creation of the Great Rift the Tech Priest Galleus Malthirion discovered an STC and considered it a blessing of the Machine God.
大裂隙形成后，技术神甫加莱乌斯·马尔西里昂发现了一个STC，并认为这是万机神的祝福。
