九、Sophons 梭芬

The Sophons are one of the playable factions in Endless Space. Curious and
eager to learn, they place the highest emphasis on science and technological
progress.

梭芬是Endless Space中其中一支可選派系。他們充滿好奇心及學習的渴望，並把科學和
科技發展作為最高重點。


Background 背景

Origins 起源

The Sophons evolved on Hekim, a rocky world orbiting a blue star. They
evolved quickly because their sun produced a large amount of radiation,
increasing the rate of mutation.

梭芬發跡於賀肯．一個環繞藍色恆星的石頭世界。他們發展的很快，因為他們的太陽產生
大量的輻射，增進了突變的比率。

Despite their frail form and almost dangerous level of curiosity, the Sophons
somehow survived the process of natural selection and developed a
civilization. Before long, the Sophons were traveling across the cosmic
strings of the galaxy.

儘管他們身材虛弱、又有近乎危險的好奇心，梭芬由於某種未知的原因從天擇之下存活並
發展出了文明。不久，梭芬開始航行於銀河之中。

Society 社會

Sophon society is devoted to learning, philosophy, exploring, and study. They
view the universe not only with awe, but also as an intellectual challenge
for them to accept. Optimistic, they hold full faith in scientific progress
and technological advancement.

梭芬社會把一切奉獻於學習、哲學、探索和研究。他們看待宇宙不僅僅是敬畏，還當做一
種智力挑戰並接受它。他們很樂觀，並對於科學進展及科技進步抱持完全的信賴。

To the Sophons, war is a wasteful undertaking, imposed on them by more
warlike aliens. They prefer mutual cooperation with and, if possible, the
studying of other species.

對梭芬來說，被其他更好戰的外星人強加於他們的戰爭是個很浪費的事業。他們偏好互相
協調與，如果可能的話，向其他種族學習。

The Sophons played a critical role in the development of the Pilgrims. After
hijacking an early interstellar colonization mission, the Pilgrims, then
called the "Resistance," fled the Terran Solar System, beyond the reach of
the United Empire's military might. After some time, fate brought them to a
Kuiper Belt-like area of another star. Rich in artifacts from the Endless,
they encountered a Sophon surveillance mission. The two races became allies,
and the Pilgrims received vital technological and material aid from the more
experienced Sophons. The similarity between their ships is no coincidence.

梭芬在朝聖者的發展之中扮演關鍵性的角色。在搶了一艘早期的星際殖民船後，朝聖者，
當時名為「反抗軍」逃離泰倫太陽系並遠離聯合帝國軍隊所能達到的地方。一段時間後，
命運把他們帶到其他恆星的類似古柏帶的區域。該地擁有大量的Endless工藝品，他們還
遇到了一支梭芬調查隊。兩支種族變成了同盟，朝聖者還從經驗更加豐富的梭芬處獲得了
不可或缺的科技和物質援助。兩者的船艦會長的很像也不是什麼巧合了。

---------------------------------------------------------------------


十、Sowers 播種者

The Sowers are one of the playable factions in Endless Space. Created by the
now-deceased Virtual Endless, these self-replicating robotic workers were
programmed to colonize worlds on their makers' behalf. To this day, the
Sowers go from planet to planet, preparing and building the infrastructure
for a long-dead civilization.

播種者是Endless Space中其中一支可選派系。這些能夠自我複製的機械工人由早已滅絕
的Virtual Endless創造，被設定為了他們的創造者殖民世界。直到今天，播種者從這顆
行星到那顆行星，替一個早已死亡的文明準備和建造基礎建設。


Background 背景

Origins起源

The Sowers were created by the Virtual Endless and dropped onto a rocky,
barren planet, devoid of life or an atmosphere. Their orders were given:
develop this world and set up the basic infrastructure needed for the Virtual
civilization.

播種者由Virtual Endless創造，並被放到一個缺乏生命或大氣的荒涼岩石行星上。他們
得到的命令是：開發這個世界並根據Virtual Endless的需求建立基礎建設。

After eons of work, the Sowers completed their task. When they tried to
contact their masters, though, they received no reply, and the Virtuals never
returned. The factions of the Endless had destroyed each other while the
Sowers were preparing the planet.

在工作了千萬年後，播種者完成了任務，但當他們試著聯絡他們的主人時卻收不到回覆，
Virtuals再也沒回來過。Endless在播種者還在打理這顆星球時就已經自我毀滅了。

After a period of waiting, the Sowers gathered together to decide on a course
of action. They concluded that some day, the Virtuals would return, and that
they would have wanted the Sowers to do the same for other planets as they
had for this one. The mission, deemed "The Calling," took an almost religious
aspect as the Sowers began to spread to other worlds.

在等待了一段期間後，播種者聚集起來以決定行動方向。他們的結論是，有一天Virtual
將會回歸，而他們將會希望播種者對其他星球做同樣的事。這個被稱為「呼喚」的任務，
在播種者散佈到其他世界時扮演著近乎宗教的觀點。

Society 社會

The Sowers' society is built around The Calling, and they treat the matter as
a holy mission or even crusade. Despite the mounting evidence of their
creators' fate, the Sowers still believe that some day, the Virtuals will
return and claim the worlds that had been set up for them.

播種者的社會根據「呼喚」而建構，他們把這件事視為一個神聖的任務或甚至聖戰。儘管
有越來越多關於他們創造者命運的證據出現，播種者仍然相信，總有一天Virtual將會回
歸並統治那些已經被他們建造完成的世界。

Until that time comes, the Sowers will continue their task. Local populations
are ignored unless they prove disruptive to The Calling, in which case they
are to be destroyed.

在那個時候來臨之前，播種者會持續他們的任務。當地居民會被無視，除非會對「呼喚」
造成危險，這種情況下他們會被毀滅。

Sowers within communication range will have a shared consciousness, helping
to coordinate tasks and planning. That said, it is not uncommon for Sowers to
still show individual traits or skills, and a few have even split off from
the rest of the Sowers.

只要在通訊範圍內的播種者都會共享知覺，以便於協調任務和計畫。不過堅持展現自己的
特性或技術的播種者也不少見，有些還甚至會從其他播種者身邊分離。

Although expansive in nature, the Sowers are not inherently warlike. If
another race does not interfere with their tasks, they will be left at peace.

儘管不停的擴張，播種者並不是天生好戰。如果其他種族不影響他們的任務，他們會保持
和平。

If they do, then the Sowers stand ready to turn their industrial power into
military might.

如果他們影響了，播種者會準備好把他們的工業實力轉化為軍事力量。

Optimistic 樂觀

+10 approval for System

Notes 注意事項

Given that the Virtual Endless primarily existed on an electronic - not
physical - plane, it is not fully clear why the Sowers also set natural
ecosystems on the planets they colonized, alongside with the necessary
electronic infrastructure. There are possible explanations, though.

有鑑於Virtual Endless主要以電子型態而非肉體型態存在，對於為何播種者要在他們殖
民的星球上蓋了必須的電子基礎設施後，還要在旁邊建立自然循環系統的理由並不清處。
不過有些可能的解釋。

The concept art for the Sower Corvette depicts the ship transforming into
walking mech.

播種者哨衛艦的藝術概念圖中，船正在變形為步行模式。

A fan campaign called "Save the Sowers" has gained strength due to the
perceived weakness of the faction.

一個名為「保護播種者」的粉絲活動變得越來越強大，因為這派系實在太弱了。

The Sowers' hero names are based off famous mathematicians.

播種者的英雄名稱來自於著名的數學家們。


--------------------------------------------------------------------


十一、United Empire 聯合帝國

The United Empire is one of the playable factions available in Endless Space.
Ruthless but efficient, it is skilled in both commerce and combat. At the
start of the game, the United Empire is beginning interstellar expansion in
earnest.

聯合帝國(UE)是Endless Space中其中一支可選派系。他們精於貿易和戰鬥，無情但有效
率。遊戲一開始，聯合帝國就準備認真朝星際擴張了。


Background 背景

Society 社會

Technically, the United Empire is a monarchy, currently ruled by Emperor
Maximilian Zelevas. However, while the emperor manages the overall direction
of the UE, the day-to-day management of star systems is left to various
powerful corporations or families. Designated by the Empire to manage certain
systems, these companies or aristocratic families work hand in hand with the
Imperial bureaucracy but are also left to pursue their own profit. In return,
they are expected to send a portion of their earnings back to the empire.

嚴格來說，聯合帝國是君主政體，目前由皇帝馬克西米利安．杰勒瓦斯統治。不過當這名
皇帝帶領整個UE的方向時，各星系平常的統治權卻是握在各種有力的企業家或大家族手上
。這些公司或貴族家庭被皇帝指派去管理特定的星系，雖然和帝國官僚一起工作但也在從
中撈油水。相對的，他們必須要從他們賺到的分一部分交還給帝國。

With this somewhat decentralized setup, a certain level of regional autonomy
is inevitable, and the various corporate system governors often cut corners
when they can get away with it. That said, the central empire is far from
powerless. Should a corporation stop paying its dues or become too obstinate,
the Imperial fleets stand ready to remind the wayward company of its
obligations.

在這種有點鬆散的組織之間，無可避免的會出現某種程度上的地方自治，而且許多統治星
系的公司常常能走捷徑就走捷徑。雖然如此，帝國中樞還是很強大的，如果一間公司頑固
到停止繳稅，帝國艦隊會準備好提醒這些任性公司關於他們的責任。

In contrast to its pro-business economic policies, the UE places relatively
little value is on human rights or individual lives. The emperor has little
tolerance for dissent, real or perceived. When an HR manager published an
essay that argued that the empire's use of slavery was both inhumane and
inefficient, the UE and its corporations saw this as oppositional and tried
to arrest her.

與它的商業導向經濟政策相對，UE對於單一人的權力或生命幾乎不看重。無論是真正的異
議或只是流言蜚語，皇帝都無法忍受。有一個人資經理出版一篇散文，抱怨帝國的奴隸制
度既不人道又沒效率，結果帝國和她所屬星系的公司把這篇文章視為反對派言論並試圖逮
捕她。

Military 軍事

As with the society in general, the military is a mixture of direct Imperial
control via the Ministry of Security, and corporate fleets as well. Despite
this mixture of control, the resulting space navy is more than sufficient to
ensure corporate obedience.

就像一般社會一樣，軍隊是由皇帝直屬的安全部和企業的艦隊混和。儘管控制權混在一起
，如此產生的宇宙艦隊卻比強制協調服從要有效率的多（譯註：這句不太會翻）。

Even so, the possibility of conflicting loyalties is still a threat, so for
much of the empire's history, the emperor traveled with his elite bodyguard
force, the Sheredyn. With that body's growing autonomy, however, it is
somewhat doubtful that the current emperor, Maximilian Zelevas, still depends
on the Sheredyn.

儘管如此，挑戰皇室的可能性畢竟是個威脅，因此在帝國長久的歷史上，皇帝總是與他的
菁英護衛隊．薩拉丁軍團一起旅行。不過，當這支軍團自治權越來越大時不禁讓人開始有
點懷疑目前的皇帝，馬克西米利安．杰勒瓦斯是否仍依賴薩拉丁軍團。

The United Empire's space navy is less advanced than those of some of the
older factions, but the ships are still durable and powerful.

比起某些古老種族，聯合帝國的宇宙艦隊並不先進，但這些船艦仍然既耐用又強力。


Traits 特性

United Empire Affinity 聯合帝國本性

25% - 100% Tax Rate will give a 0% - 60% Production bonus.

------------------------------------------------------------------------



十二、Vaulters 飄泊者

（譯註：雖然Pilgrim也是天天搬家，但Vaulter的感覺更強烈，而且兩邊搬家的目的不一
樣，因此我給Vaulter這個譯名）

The Vaulters are a playable faction in Endless Space: Disharmony and Endless
Legend. Technological savants, the Vaulters are a human civilization who
emerged from Auriga's underground warrens and have dedicated themselves to
repairing the great machinery of the Endless.

飄泊者是《Endless Space: Disharmony》和《Endless Legend》中其中一支可選派系。
身為科技專家的飄泊者是一支人類文明，他們從阿瑞加行星的地底出現，並全心投入修復
Endless最偉大的機械裝置之中。


Background 背景

An ancient faction, the Vaulters have suffered a number of major setbacks in
trying to establish a permanent home for themselves. Though characterized as
restless wanderers, they are in fact a proud and adaptable race, seeking a
system that they can finally call 'home.' Their centuries of travel and
tinkering have made them skilled at both science and warfare, though their
greatest military strength is in defense.

作為一個古老的派系，飄泊者在替他們自己建造一個永久的家時已經遭遇到數次重大挫折
。雖然看起來像是一群永不休息的幻想家，但他們事實上是個驕傲和適應力強的種族，並
不停的尋找一個他們最終能稱之為「家」的星系。數個世紀的旅行和徒勞使他們精通科學
和戰爭，不過他們最強的軍事力量是展現在防禦上。

The Vaulters have an old tradition of appointing female leaders, and their
trust in this tradition has been confirmed by the faction's uncanny ability
to escape, survive, and live to fight another day. Once based on the planet
Auriga, they left the planet when their predictions indicated potentially
cataclysmic geo-atmospheric problems. Their attempts to colonize elsewhere
have only had brief success, and the notion of a permanent base has gained an
almost mythical status.

飄泊者的古老傳統是由女性擔任領導者，而該派系為了日後的戰鬥而逃脫、生還和生存的
可怕能力，堅定了他們對於這個傳統的信任。在阿瑞加行星一度建立基地後，他們離開了
這個行星，因為他們的預測指出此處的大氣有潛在的大洪水危機。他們想殖民他處的目標
只有短暫的成功，而想要一個永久基地的想法已經開始帶有神話般的色彩。

In recent times, one Vaulter clan, the Zolyas, rediscovered the location of
Auriga and sought to make it their new homeworld after being evicted from a
tundra planet by pirates.

最近，其中一個飄泊者氏族．佐爾雅，重新發現了阿瑞加的位置，並企圖在被海盜從一個
凍土行星上逐出後把這裡作為他們的新家。


Traits 特性

Vaulter Affinity 飄泊者本性

Once constructed, the Portal consumes all remaining Movement Points, it
requires at least one Movement Point.
建造傳送門會消耗掉所有剩餘的行動點數，這需要至少一點行動點數
The faction can instantly teleport a Fleet from one system to another system
that is under their influence, if both systems have built these quantum
apertures.
該派系能在兩個自己勢力內且有建造傳送門的星系中瞬間傳送艦隊

Scientists 科學家

+10% science on System.
星系科技產量+10%

Black Thumbs 黑手指

星系食物產量-10%


Notes 注意事項

Miscellaneous 花絮

The Vaulters are available as a playable faction in Endless Space: Disharmony
and Endless Legend exclusively for purchasers of the Founder Edition of
Dungeon of the Endless. The Vaulters' history ties into the events of all
three games.

只有購買了《Dungeon of the Endless》的玩家能在《Endless Space: Disharmony》和
《Endless Legend》中使用飄泊者（譯註：這邊不太確定，不過飄泊者是個未開發完成的
派系，因此好像還沒正式上市，連wiki對他們的歷史介紹都殘缺不全。需要更專業的人來
回答）。飄泊者的歷史和這三款遊戲中的事件息息相關。

感謝大家耐心看完，其他派系以及其他遊戲內容的wiki我日後會慢慢補上

希望大家能指正我的翻譯問題，感謝
