Hi everyone,

Ok, here's the promised preview of what we are working on. We are still trying to get this finished for this year, but our priority is to make sure it's as good as we all want it to be, so I can't give you an exact release date yet.

The title comes from the "Age of Shadows".
大家好，给大家说说我们最近的工作进展，我们本想今年完成，但是为了保证质量可能够呛，具体发行时间未定

<WARNING: SOME ORIGINAL DISTANT WORLDS STORY SPOILERS AHEAD>
下面是遥远的世界的剧情

In the original Distant Worlds, you play in a galaxy where civilizations have recently rebuilt themselves and returned to space in a galaxy that was nearly destroyed at the end of the last war against a great intergalactic foe. The time immediately after that great was was known as the Age of Darkness. During this time, there was very little left of the previous galactic civilizations. In addition to a few survivors on planets and colonies here and there, a very few survived on ships and remote stations. Many who survived the end of the war did not survive long into the future, but others managed to find a way. Generation after generation passed, even among the long-lived species.
原版的情景是在一次大毁灭后很多文明慢慢重建的故事，即黑暗时代之后。只有很少的文明残留下来，还有一些幸存者生活在飞船和太空站中，他们试图为自己寻找新的生存方式。

In these early days, the survivors who had escaped the near-extermination of galactic life with some technology intact, especially those who still had working stations or ships and knowledge from the old empires, were in a better position than most on the planets, where the devastation and regression to a near-primitive state had been nearly complete and in many cases the plagues of the past war still periodically returned. Space seemed a much safer place to many.

During the Age of Darkness, these space-based survivors who still had the means (although in many cases limited and often decreasing with each generation) to travel space searched the galaxy for other remnants of civilization and the means to keep their technology working. In some cases, they formed beneficial relationship with those who were left here and there on the planets, even helping them to develop and rebuild. In other cases, they raided the planets and their remaining populations and took what they needed as plunder. Often, it was a bit of both.

Eventually, the balance of power began to shift. The space-based survivors had developed their own empires of sorts, usually as traders, warlords or pirates. Despite their access to some of the old technologies, their numbers remained few and the planets began to exert greater control over their own destinies. Some had even developed populations and civilization to the point where they were able to contest control over their local space. This is the Age of Shadows, in between the Age of Darkness and the Distant Worlds galaxy as you have known it to date.
黑暗时代之后，这些生活在空间的幸存者凭借他们古老的科技优势逐渐发展出一种他们自己的生存之道，或者为商人集团，或者为雇佣军集团，或者为海盗。他们的数量不多但是力量不容忽视，有一些甚至企图控制他们生活在星球上的母族人，这就是黑暗时代之后的暗影时代，后来才逐渐变为我们现在所玩的遥远的世界这个时代。

What were previously "pirates" are now independent space-based factions that can pursue a variety of playstyles, ranging from trade, war and espionage to pure chaos and plunder.
我们以前称之为海盗的势力将成为一个新的独立空间势力并有很多种玩法，贸易联盟，雇佣兵团，间谍公司等等；他们可以恢复秩序，也可以制造混乱
