Batarians 巴塔力亞 |
|
 取得地點： |
In the early 2160s, the Alliance began aggressive colonization of worlds in the Skyllian Verge, much to the dismay of the batarians who had been developing the region for several decades. In 2171, the batarians petitioned the Council to declare the Verge a "zone of batarian interest". The Council refused, however, declaring unsettled worlds in the region open to human colonization. In protest, the batarians closed their Council embassy and severed official diplomatic relations with the Council, effectively becoming a rogue state. They instigated a proxy war in the Verge by funneling money and weapons to criminal organizations, urging them to strike at human colonies. Hostilities peaked with the Skyllian Blitz of 2176, an attack on the human capital of Elysium by batarian-funded pirates and slavers. In 2178, the Alliance retaliated with a crushing assault on the moon of Torfan, long used as a staging base by batarian-backed criminals. In the aftermath, the batarians retreated into their own systems, and are now rarely seen in Citadel space. 在2160年代初期，聯盟開始積極殖民Skyllian Verge的星球，讓在此地區已發展數十年的巴塔力亞族大感錯愕。在2171年，巴塔力亞族向議會請願宣佈Verge是“巴塔力亞利益區”。然而，議會拒絕，表明此區域未殖民的星球都可開放給人類殖民。 為表抗議，巴塔力亞族關閉他們的議會使館且與議會切斷正式外交關係，實質上變成一個惡棍國家。他們在Verge煽動代理戰爭挹注金錢與武器給犯罪組織，催促他們攻擊人類殖民地。 敵對在2176年的Skyllian閃擊戰時昇到最高，巴塔力亞資助的海盜與奴隸攻擊人類首都樂園星。在2178年，聯盟殲滅Torfan月球還以顏色，這個地方長久以來是巴塔力亞支持的罪犯中繼基地。戰亂之後，巴塔力亞族撤回自己的星系，現在已很少在要塞空域出現。 |
Elcor 艾爾寇 |
|
 取得地點： |
The elcor are a Citadel species native to the high-gravity world Dekuuna. They are massive creatures, standing on four muscular legs for increased stability. Elcor move slowly, an evolved response to an environment where a fall can be lethal. This has colored their psychology, making them deliberate and conservative. Elcor speech is ponderous and monotone. Among themselves, scent, slight movements, and subvocalized infrasound convey shades of meaning that make a human smile seem as subtle as a fireworks display. Since their subtlety can lead to misunderstandings with other species, the elcor often go out of their way to clarify when they are being sarcastic, amused, or angry. Dekuuna's high gravity impedes mountain formation. Most of the world consists of flat, open plains which prehistoric elcor wandered across in small family bands. Modern elcor still prefer open sky, and become restless and uncomfortable on long starship journeys. 艾爾寇族是原生於高重力星球Dekuuna的要塞種族。他們是巨大的生物，用強壯的四肢站立以增加穩定度。艾爾寇族移動緩慢，在一個跌倒就會致命的環境中演化出來的結果。這也影響了他們的心理面，使他們從容與保守。 艾爾寇族以緩慢與單調的語氣說話。同種之間，氣味，輕微動作，與默念超音波用來傳達深淺不同的意義，相比之下人類的微笑簡直就像煙火表演一般明顯直接。因為他們這種深奧的方式會讓其他種族誤解，艾爾寇族在嘲諷，愉快，或生氣時經常會刻意直接點明。 Dekuuna的高重力阻礙高山形成。星球上大部份是平坦，開闊的平原，史前的艾爾寇族以小型家族集團漫遊其上。現代艾爾寇族仍舊偏好開放的天空，在長途的星艦旅程下會變得不安與不適。 |
Geth 蓋斯 |
|
 取得地點： |
The geth are a humanoid race of networked A.I.s. They were created by the quarians 300 years ago as tools of labor and war. When the geth showed signs of self-evolution, the quarians attempted to exterminate them. The geth won the resulting war. This example has led to legal, systematic repression of artificial intelligences in galactic society. The geth possess a unique distributed intelligence. An individual has rudimentary animal instincts, but as their numbers and proximity increase, the apparent intelligence of each individual improves. In groups, they can reason, analyze situations, and use tactics as well as any organic race. Geth space is located at the trailing end of the Perseus Arm, beyond the lawless Terminus Systems. The Perseus Veil, an obscuring "dark nebula" of opaque gas and dust, lies between their space and the Terminus Systems. 蓋斯族是網路式AI類人型種族。他們是在300年前由奎利安族創造來作為勞動與戰爭的工具。當蓋斯族顯露出自我演化的徵兆，奎利安族試圖撲滅他們。蓋斯族贏得勝仗。這個實例使得銀河社會在法律上，對人工智慧進行有系統的壓抑。 蓋斯族擁有獨特的分散式智能。單一個體只有低階的動物本能，但是當他們的數量與密集度增加，每一個體的智能表現都會增進。當組成群體，他們能理解，分析情勢，並與其他有機種族一樣實行策略。 蓋斯空域位於英仙座旋臂的末端，遠居於目無法紀的邊境星系群之後。英仙座帷幕，一道不透明氣體與塵埃組成的朦朧“黑暗星雲”，擋在他們的空域與邊境星系群之間。 |
Hanar 漢那 |
|
 取得地點： |
The hanar are a Citadel species known for excessive politeness. They speak with scrupulous precision, and take offense at improper language. Hanar that expect to deal with other species take special courses to help them unlearn their tendency to take offense at improper speech. All hanar have two names. The Face Name is known to the world; the Soul Name is kept for use among close friends and relations. Hanar never refer to themselves in the first person in conversation with someone they know on a Face Name basis. To do so is considered egotistical, so instead they refer to themselves as "this one", or the impersonal "it". Their homeworld, Kahje, has 90% ocean cover and orbits an energetic white star, resulting in a permanent blanket of clouds. Due to the presence of Prothean ruins on the world, many hanar worship them, and hanar myths often speak of an elder race that civilized them by teaching them language. 漢那族是以過度有禮聞名的要塞種族。他們說話一絲不茍，對不當的語言感到憤怒。預定與其他種族打交道的漢那族必須接受特殊的課程以幫助他們消除對不當的語言產生憤怒的傾向。 所有漢那族都有兩個名字。外表名對外公開；靈魂名只保留在密友與親屬間使用。對那些僅知道他外表名的人，漢那族在會話中決不以第一人稱代指他們自己。因為這麼做會被認為過於自負，因此他們代稱自己為“此人”或比較客觀的“它”。 他們的母星，Kahje，90%被海洋覆蓋再加上環繞著一個高能量的白熱恆星，造成一整片的永久性雲層。由於波希安遺跡存在於此星球，許多漢那族人也敬拜他們，漢那神話常提及一個古老種族以教導語言的方式使他們步入文明。 |
Keepers 維持者 |
|
 取得地點： |
When the asari discovered the Citadel, they also discovered the keepers, a docile multi-limbed insect race that seemingly exists only to maintain and repair the great Prothean station. Early attempts to communicate with or study the keepers were failures, and it is now illegal to interfere with or impede keeper activity. Because they are completely non-threatening, keepers have become virtually invisible to everyone else. Similarly, they seem indifferent to other species, except for their tendency to help new arrivals integrate themselves into the Citadel. No matter how many keepers die due to old age, violence, or accident, they maintain a constant number. No one has discovered the source of new keepers, but some hypothesize they are genetic constructs: biological androids created somewhere deep in the inaccessible core of the Citadel itself. 當阿莎利族發現要塞，她們也一併發現維持者，一種溫馴多肢體的蟲類種族，看似只為了維護與檢修這個偉大的波希安太空站而存在。 早年嘗試溝通或研究維持者都以失敗告終，在現在干擾與阻礙維持者的活動是違法的。因為他們完全無害，其他人對維持者幾乎視若無睹。同樣的，他們對其他種族也相當冷漠，但卻傾向幫助這群新來者融入要塞的生活之中。 不管有多少維持者因為老化，外力，或意外而死亡，他們總是保持著固定的數目。沒有人發現新維持者的來源，但有人推測他們是基因建構物：在要塞太空站深處某個無法進入的核心裡所創造的生物性機械人。 |
Krogan 克羅根 |
|
 取得地點： |
The krogan evolved in a hostile and vicious environment. Until the invention of gunpowder weapons, "eaten by predators" was still the number one cause of krogan fatalities. Afterwards, it was "death by gunshot". When the salarians discovered them, the krogan were a brutal, primitive species struggling to survive a self-inflicted nuclear winter. The salarians culturally uplifted them, teaching them to use and build modern technology so they could serve as soldiers in the Rachni War. Liberated from the harsh conditions of their homeworld, the quick-breeding krogan experienced an unprecedented population explosion. They began to colonize nearby worlds, even though these worlds were already inhabited. The Krogan Rebellions lasted nearly a century, only ending when the turians unleashed the genophage, a salarian-developed bioweapon that crushed all krogan resistance. The genophage makes only one in 1,000 pregnancies viable, and today the krogan are a slowly dying breed. Understandably, the krogan harbor a grudge against all other species, especially the turians. 克羅根族在兇險與惡劣的環境中演化。在火藥武器發明前，克羅根族的頭號死因是“被掠食者吃掉”。火藥發明後，變成“被槍殺”。 當索拉瑞安族發現他們時，克羅根還是一個殘暴，原始的種族在自已所造成的核子寒冬裡掙扎求生。索拉瑞安族在文化上提昇他們，教導他們使用與建立現代科技以便用來當作蟲族戰爭中的士兵。 從家鄉的嚴峻環境解放之後，繁殖快速的克羅根族面臨空前的人口爆炸。他們開始殖民鄰近的星球，即使這些星球早已有人定居。克羅根之亂持續將近一世紀，直到圖瑞安族施展噬基因體才結束，那是一種索拉瑞安族開發的生物兵器它摧毀了所有克羅根族的抵抗。 噬基因體使得每1000個受孕胎兒只有一個得以存活，時至今日克羅根族已變成一個漸漸死滅的種族。可以想見，克羅根族對其他種族深藏怨懟，特別是圖瑞安族。 |
Quarians 奎利安 |
|
 取得地點： |
Driven from their home system by the geth nearly three centuries ago, most quarians now live aboard the Migrant Fleet, a flotilla of fifty thousand vessels ranging in size from passenger shuttles to mobile space stations. Home to 17 million quarians, the flotilla understandably has scarce resources. Because of this, each quarian must go on a rite of passage known as the Pilgrimage when they come of age. They leave the fleet and only return once they have found something of value they can bring back to their people. Other species tend to look down on the quarians for creating the geth and for the negative impact their fleet has when it enters a system. This has led to many myths and rumors about the quarians, including the belief that underneath their clothes and breathing masks, they are actually cybernetic creatures: a combination of organic and synthetic parts. 在大約三世紀前被蓋斯族逐出家鄉星系，大部份的奎利安族現在生活於遷徙艦隊的船上，一個由五萬艘船艦組成的船隊小到客運太空梭大到活動太空站。 身為一千七百萬奎利安族的家園，船隊可以想見資源缺乏。因為如此，每個奎利安人在長大後必須進行一項稱為巡禮的成年儀式。他們離開艦隊而且只有在找到值得帶回給他們人民的事物之後才會回鄉。 其他種族輕視奎利安族因為他們造出蓋斯族還有他們艦隊進入星系時所產生的負面衝擊。這導致許多對奎利安族的迷思與謠言，其中包括認為在他們衣著與呼吸面罩隱藏下，他們其實是機械加強生物：一種有機與合成零件的綜合體。 |
Volus 佛魯司 |
|
 取得地點： |
The volus are a member species of the Citadel with their own embassy, but they are also a client race of the turians. Centuries ago, they were voluntarily absorbed into the Hierarchy, effectively trading their mercantile prowess for turian military protection. Irune, their homeworld, lies far beyond the normal life zone of its star. However, the world has a high-pressure greenhouse atmosphere that traps enough heat to support an ammonia-based biochemistry. As a result, the volus must wear pressure suits and breathers when dealing with other species as conventional nitrogen/oxygen air mixtures are poisonous to them, and in the low pressure atmospheres tolerable to most species, their flesh will actually split open. Volus culture is tribal, bartering lands and even people to gain status. This culture of exchange inclines them to economic pursuits. It was the volus who authored the Unified Banking Act, and they continue to monitor and balance the Citadel economy. 佛魯司族是擁有使節團的要塞成員種族，但他們也是圖瑞安族的附屬種族。幾世紀前，他們自願加入階級政府，實質上是以他們的商業才能換取圖瑞安族的軍事保護。 他們的家鄉星球，Irune，遠居於其恆星的生命範圍之外。然而，這個星球的高壓溫室氣體可捕捉足夠的熱能支持氨基酸類的生化反應。因為這個原因，佛魯司族在其他種族區域必須穿戴加壓衣與呼吸器因為一般的氮氧混合氣體對他們來說是毒氣，而且在大部份種族可容許的低氣壓大氣下，他們的血肉其實會爆開。 佛魯司族是部落式文化，交易土地甚至人民來獲取地位。這種互相交易的文化使他們趨於追尋經濟成就。聯合銀行法案就是由佛魯司族發起的，他們也持續監控與平衡要塞太空站的經濟。 |
