July 4, 501 [[CE]]
公元1457年7月4日。


It’s impossible to imagine what life must have been like for Humans almost 2,500 standard Earth years ([[SEY]]) ago. Humanity was still constrained to their homeworld, and though vast societies and cultures spread across Earth, many were not even aware of each other’s existence. Attempting to cross one of the planet’s major oceans was akin to a death sentence, one that some strangely believed would involve the boat simply falling over the horizon’s edge.
我们无法想象,在将近2500个[[标准地球年]]之前,人类的生活是什么样子的。那个时候,人类仍然被限制在自己的家园里,虽然地球上遍布着各种各样庞大的社会和文明,但许多人甚至都不知道彼此的存在。试图穿越地球上的大洋无异于自寻死路,有些人甚至还认为,船会直接从地平的边缘掉下去。


Meanwhile, on approximately [[July 4, 501 CE]]*, the [[Xi’an]] officially entered their [[Third Imperial Age]] by elevating [[U.e’o se Kr.ē]] to the position of [[Emperor]]. The coronation of U.e’o se Kr.ē was a historic event and cause for great celebration across the [[Xi’an Empire]], which had already expanded to many planets and systems. While much has changed for Humanity over the last two and a half millennia, House Kr.ē’s control has remained resolute, as they still govern the Xi’an Empire to this day — an outcome few Xi’an would have predicted when they first gained power.
与此同时,大约在公元1457年7月4日,[[薇欧·克雷]][[皇帝|帝]][[希安]]正式进入了[[第三帝国时代]]。薇欧·克雷的加冕是一个历史性事件,也是[[希安帝国]]举国欢腾的时间,当时[[希安帝国]]已经扩展到了许多星球和星系。虽然人类社会在过去的两千五百年间发生巨变,但克雷家族的统治却始终保持稳固,他们至今仍在统治着希安帝国--这是在他们刚刚掌权时,很少有希安人会预料到的结果。


The Third Imperial Age pulled the Xi’an out of a particularly tumultuous time in their vast history. The species had been locked into a nearly 800 SEY engagement with the [[Kr%27Thak|Kr’Thak]], a conflict that we have come to know as the [[Spirit Wars]]. To make matters worse, the species had been without an Emperor for almost 90 SEY prior to U.e’o se Kr.ē’s coronation.
第三帝国时代将希安人从他们浩瀚历史中的一个动荡的时期拉了出来。那时,他们与[[科萨克]]之间的冲突已经持续了近800个世纪,我们称之为[[精神战争]]。更糟糕的是,在 薇欧·克雷加冕之前,这个种族已经有近一世纪没有皇帝了。


This period began during the Spirit Wars, in [[412 CE]], when an expertly planned and executed Kr’Thak attack targeted the reigning Emperor Xy.ō and her house. Timed to coincide with an important family celebration in honor of [[Y.ah’a se Xy.ō]], the house’s great matriarch and first Emperor, the Kr’Thak’s orbital bombardment of the Xy.ō estate was executed with shocking devastation, leaving nothing but a massive crater behind. Then the Kr’Thak activated dozens of strike forces around the Xi’an empire, systematically targeting any location with a remaining member of the Xy.ō family. When the dust had settled, countless innocent Xi’an had died, but the Kr’Thak’s plan had succeeded. The entire Xy.ō line had been eliminated and their house’s 1,735 SEY reign was over. The Xi’an’s Second Imperial Age had been brought to a brutal and decisive end.
精神战争始于公元1305年,当时科萨克人精心策划并了一次针对希安在位皇帝休及其家族的袭击。恰逢休族纪念其家族的伟大女族长及第一位皇帝[[雅哈·休]]的庆典,科萨克人对休族的庄园进行了轨道轰炸,造成了惊人的破坏,留下了一个巨大的弹坑。随后,科萨克人在希安帝国周围发动了数十支打击力量,所有休族残余人员所在的地点都成为了他们的打击目标。等到尘埃落定之后,已有无数无辜的希安人在这场战争种死去,但科萨克的计划也成功了。整个休族都被屠戮殆尽,他们家族长久以来的统治和希安的[[第二帝国时代]]一齐残酷地陡然结束了。


The eradication of the Xy.ō house unleashed chaos across Xi’an society, earning that period an ominous title roughly translated as [[The Dark]]. Those in the bureaucratic class tried to keep the government functioning, but struggled to do so without an Emperor and royal family dictating an overarching policy. The Xi’an war strategy also suffered from the leadership vacuum, as the Imperial house controls the military just as directly as it does the government.
休族的覆灭引发了整个希安社会的混乱,这一时期也因此被冠以“[[黑暗时代]]”这一不祥的称号。官僚阶层试图维持政府的正常运转,但在没有皇帝和皇室主导总体政策的情况下,他们举步维艰。由于希安皇室直接控制着军队和政府,希安的战争策略也因统治真空而受到不小的影响。


Instead of a clear vision, powerful Xi’an houses feuded and political factions formed. Some argued that retribution against the Kr’Thak was necessary, while others claimed it was the time to discuss peace. Various houses acted unilaterally, with some trying to broker deals as others started secretly arming themselves. Similarly rampant inter-house conflict had demonstrated the need for a single ruling family during the [[Great Divide]], triggering the formation of the first imperial dynasty. This time around, the dissolution of the Empire was a real possibility in the chaos that followed the death of House Xy.ō. Primarily due to the fact that a new Emperor could not be found.
与此同时,希安的其他贵族不但没有团结一致,反而争斗不休,政治派别也随之形成。一些人认为有必要对科萨克人进行报复,而另一些人则声称现在是讨论和平的时候了。一些家族试图促成交易,而另一些家族则开始秘密武装自己。此前[[大分裂]]时期猖獗的家族间冲突表明希安需要一个统一的统治家族,这直接导致了[[第一帝国时代]]的形成。而这一次,在休族死后的混乱中,帝国由于没有新任皇帝,正处于分崩离析的边缘。


The specifics surrounding the transfer of power from one house to another in the Xi’an tradition is still not well known by those outside the species. What little is understood is that part of the process involves searching for certain genetic ‘markers’ that only the new Emperor will carry. Any and all Xi’an are tested to see who might carry these markers. The process is an incredible bureaucratic undertaking in peaceful times, and nearly impossible during a war whose duration was approaching a millennium.
关于希安传统种不同家族之间的权力交接过程,外人对此并不是很了解。我们只知道,这一过程一部分涉及寻找只有新皇帝才会携带有的某种“基因标记”。所有的希安人都会接受检查,以确定谁携带着这种“基因标记”。在和平年代,这是一项令人难以置信的项目,而在持续近千年的战争中,这项事业几乎是不可能完成的。(译者注:原文如此)


The Xi’an tested anyone they could but still didn’t find a match. After decades of this uncertainty, some Xi’an philosophers pondered whether a new ruler would appear only after their war with the Kr’Thak was over. Public opinion swung in that direction and eventually a ceasefire was negotiated by the remaining military bureaucrats.
希安人测试了所有他们能测试的人选,但仍然没有找到合适的人选。在几十年的动荡后,一些希安哲学家开始思考,是否只有在与科萨克人的战争结束后,希安才会出现新的统治者。公众舆论也开始朝着这个方向摇摆,最终,依然存活着的军官们与科萨克人进行谈判并达成了停火协议。


Though the specifics of this armistice with the Kr’Thak have never been revealed to us, it allowed the Xi’an to search for their next Emperor in earnest. Envoys were sent to every Xi’an settlement, but even more years of hunting still did not reveal their new ruler. Some began to wonder if the Xi’an were doomed to remain ungoverned.
虽然我们并不知晓希安人与科萨克人停战的具体细节,但得益于此,让希安人终于得以认真地寻找他们的下一任皇帝。使者们被派往每一个希安人的居住地,但在多年的排查之后,他们仍然没有找到新的统治者。一些人开始怀疑,希安是否注定要陷入无人统治的境地。


Meanwhile, powerful houses grew concerned that they might lose everything if a new Emperor weren’t found. Divisions between houses grew deeper and the threat of another brutal civil war was all but certain. Therefore, while there’s no evidence that a conspiracy involving a number of powerful Xi’an families resulted in the Kr.ē house ascending to power, rumors of this sort persist.
与此同时,其他强大的家族开始担心,如果找不到新皇帝,他们可能会失去一切。各家族之间的分歧日益加深,另一场残酷的内战几乎已成定局。因此,虽然没有证据表明一些希安贵族在暗中推动克雷家族掌权,但这种传言却一直流传。


The official story is that U.e’o se Kr.ē was tested for the Imperial markers shortly after being born and proclaimed to be the new Emperor not long after. Some Xi’an welcomed the coronation of an infant as a blessed sign for the start of the Third Imperial Age. They believed it meant that the Xi’an had been given a new lease on existence after barely surviving their first interspecies conflict.
按照希安官方的说法,薇欧·克雷出生后不久就接受了标记测试,不久后就被拥立为新皇帝。一些希安人对此欢呼雀跃,认为这是第三帝国时代开始的吉兆。他们认为这意味着希安人在第一次种族间冲突中勉强幸存下来后,又获得了新的生存机会。


Others noted that the new Emperor being born into a powerful family was a bit convenient.
也有人指出,新皇帝出生在一个有权势的家庭有点不方便。


It was under these circumstances that an infant named U.e’o se Kr.ē was proclaimed the new Xi’an Emperor on July 4, 501 CE. Family matriarch [[IIth se Kr.ē]] was given provisional power until U.e’o was of age. Raised to be a ruler, U.e’o se Kr.ē eventually ascended to the throne with a quiet confidence and immediately instituted a number of sweeping changes. She strengthened settlements and military fortifications in systems connected to Kr’Thak. She banned jump point hunting in those systems too, believing that the less contact with the Kr’Thak, the more chance the ceasefire would hold. Some believe this shift away from Kr’Thak space is what forced the Xi’an Empire to expand in a different direction, one that would result in them crossing paths with Humanity.
在这种情况下,公元1457年7月4日,一个名叫薇欧·克雷的婴儿被拥立为新的希安皇帝。在克雷成年之前,家族族长[[伊斯·克雷]]成为了摄政王。薇欧·克雷从小就立志成为一名统治者,她最终满怀信心地登上了皇位,并立即进行了一系列大刀阔斧的改革。她加强了与科萨克边境星系的定居点和军事防御工事。她还禁止在这些星系搜寻新的跳跃点,认为与克萨克人的接触越少,停火就越有可能维持下去。有些人认为,正是这种远离科萨克的趋势,迫使希安帝国向另一个方向扩张,导致了他们与人类的相遇。


2,500 SEY later, the Kr.ē family still rules the Xi’an Empire. However, the current Emperor Kr.ē has no legitimate heirs, meaning that his family’s rule will end with him.
在两千五百标准地球年之后,克雷家族仍然统治着希安帝国。然而,现任皇帝没有合法继承人,这意味着他的家族统治将随他而终结。


There is much uncertainty about what will happen when the reign of house Kr.ē comes to an end. Humanity has scant understanding about what will happen or how long it will take. There’s also no clarity as to how it’ll affect our diplomatic relationship, trade deals and so forth with the Xi’an Empire. For now, all we can do is reflect back on what we know about the last time the Xi’an had a political transfer of power. It happened on this day in history — July 4, 501 CE.
当克雷家族统治结束时,会发生什么依然充满着不确定性。人类不知道会发生什么,也不知道这会在多久之后发生。它将如何影响我们与希安帝国的外交关系、贸易往来等问题也不明确。目前,我们所能做的就是回想一下我们所知道的希安上一次政治权力交接的情况。它发生在历史上的这一天--公元1457年7月4日。
