因为打算汉化百科内容，随意的翻看了一下内容，发现三狗在背景编造方面真是下了功夫。
就连各种族的一些人物和历史都有详细介绍
比如人类的，从步入太空时代 新星玛丽亚之战 希沃之战 祖鲁之战 到AI叛乱等都做了详细介绍。
咱英文不是很好，只随便翻了下人类近代历史。
人类步入太空，殖民新星玛丽亚之前的历史就不说了。
首先是新星玛丽亚，其实这个在一代的背景里就有过相关介绍了。
The Nova Maria
The amazing discovery and tragic death of Blasky Yao-Hsiang became a planet-wide impetus for a return to manned space exploration. Solomon Blasky argued passionately in the months immediately following the accident that the budget cuts which had forced Sol Force to place only an unmanned probe in Jupiter’s orbit, rather than a manned research facility, had cost his brother his life.
Recognizing the potential implications of the Node Drive for humankind, the Consortia governments agreed to cooperate in a large-scale effort to develop Faster-Than-Light ships for exploration and possible colonization of nearby star systems. The resources of several governments were pooled to fund Sol Force further, and allow the Sol Prima team to build the first interstellar space ship.
Christened the Nova Maria, the ship made several successful experimental Node jumps to and from nearby star systems over a period of months, in preparation for the trip to establish the first deep space colony, planned in the Epsilon star system.
The launch of the first human Colony mission was a gala event, televised planet-wide as a historic moment for humanity. As the Nova Maria boarded its passengers for launch, however, tragedy struck. A [link=Hiver_000][Hiver] nesting fleet led by the rogue Princess [link=Hiver_Imperium_005c][Obsidian Crown] arrived in the Sol system.
The planetary defenses of Terra were negligible and easily brushed aside by superior Hiver firepower. Director Solomon Blasky was killed aboard the Nova Maria in the first Hiver salvo, within moments of contact. Obsidian Crown then turned Her weapons on Terra, and bombarded the major population centers from orbit for over a day, causing massive devastation and catastrophic loss of life.
After nearly 36 hours of struggle, the curators of the planet’s former ICBM arsenal finally managed to reactivate their remaining stock of ancient missiles, which had been stored for decommission in the silos of the North American and Asian continents. A total of 3,000 fission and fusion bombs were launched at the descending Hiver fleet, destroying its full complement of destroyers and causing serious damage to its dreadnaught.
Thereafter, the remains of Obsidian Crown’s fleet left orbit and limped away into the neighbouring systems.
关于当时袭击人类殖民地的黑曜石舰队
Obsidian Crown
Born in 3356, Obsidian Crown took after her father in many respects. Her jet-black chitin and ruby red eyes were considered very rare and beautiful markings in a Hiver. She also inherited her father's love of power and his ruthlessness. The victor of over 100 royal duels, Iron Razor never spared a rival when he had the advantage. His daughter was much the same.
As Mother of the Burning Mountain clan, Obsidian Crown pressed her claim to the throne in 3750-3790 with a series of political assassinations, up to and including the Princess Regent Autumn Twilight in 3768. This last killing was a political error. Her rival Radiant Frost was able to garner enough allies among the outraged clans to drive Obsidian Crown, her father and her sons into exile.
Bitter, angry and fleeing as far as possible from the settled core of Hiver space, Obsidian Crown led her people into exile with a significant military force. She and her clan attempted to settle Terra, the [link=Human_000][Human] home world, by force in 4014. Although they did great damage and cost many Human lives, Obsidian Crown and her fleet were repelled by a barrage of ancient Human planetary missiles. She was forced to limp away from the battle with her surviving dreadnought, seeking some place to settle and birth new warriors.
The Black Princess did not count on the resourcefulness, determination and technological aptitude of the rising Human race, however. She and her remaining sons were killed by Humans in 4018, at the Battle of Mjolnir.

对希沃族的战争
The Hiver War
Prior the launch of the Nova Maria, Solomon Blasky had appointed Ashilde Falke as co-Director of Sol Force, as he needed an assistant to manage its domestic operations. With his death, Falke assumed full control over the organization and its infrastructure.
In the days following the Hiver attack, she appealed to the Consortia governments for the funds to build a new generation of armed Node Ships. Their mandate would be to hunt down the surviving dreadnaught and support vessels of the Hiver fleet and destroy them before they could return to attack Terra and its people once more.
The Consortia willingly agreed, and the people of Terra raised no protest when funds were diverted from reconstruction and relief efforts. The Human race was eager for revenge. At the same time, however, the colonial effort had not been forgotten. Although she would not stint the budget for armed destroyers and the development of the first armed Node cruisers, Ashilde Falke also believed passionately in Human expansion, and began building Colony ships to transport as many healthy and capable Humans away from Terra as they could. She considered it foolhardy not to colonize as many star systems as possible. To have the entire Human species living on a single world was a virtual guarantee of extinction.
Within two years Sol Force had developed its first fleet of Node warships and had made contact with the Hivers in a number of nearby systems. In 2412, Obsidian Crown and her surviving children were killed in the Battle of Mjolnir. With no knowledge of Hiver languages and culture, however, the Human race had no way of realizing that the Hivers were not a politically unified species at the time. They continued to wage war against all Hiver clans, although nearly every new clan they found had been completely unaware of the existence of the Human race until they were attacked.
The Hiver War continued to rage for decades as the number of Human-occupied worlds increased. By 2415, humankind had also made First Contact with the Tarka and the Liir. Despite early diplomatic efforts made by Tarka visitors in 2416, the Hiver War had expanded to a Hiver-Tarka War by 2417, and the battles would continue until 2436, when Ashilde Falke was killed in a coup and the Directorate was taken over by former Ground Forces Legate Edward Alton MacKenzie.
对祖鲁族的战争
The Zuul War
The first known encounter between Sol Force and the Zuul Horde occurred at Spica colony in 2413. All Human inhabitants of the planet disappeared en masse from their colony in a single day. The incident was blamed for over two decades on the Hivers, but when the Hiver Armistice was signed in 2436, the signatory empires began to share information more freely, and it was clear that a previously unknown race had been committing hit-and-run attacks in that region of space for nearly a century.
The earliest recorded attack by space-faring Zuul took place on the Tarka world of Ka'Saak in 2350. Hiver worlds were then attacked in 2362 and 2390. The attack on Spica in 2413 was followed by a flurry of attacks on worlds of all known races: Ku'Van was struck in 2415, Ko'Rorkor in 2416, Xheketch'is in 2417, and although data on Liir colonies is not available, it seemed likely that they suffered losses as well.
The first Zuul cruiser fleets were encountered in 2438, when Horde forces attacked and destroyed the SFS Nanjing in orbit around the planet Avalon. The first Zuul ship captured intact with live prisoners was taken at the Battle of the Jade Mirror later that year, which signaled the official start of the Zuul War.
The dates of the conflict are typically given as 2438-2462, when Zuul activity in the region ceased, but these dates are provisional. To this day, the Zuul have neither declared war nor declared the cessation of hostilities. Although the war was deemed "over" by the other combatants when the last contact with Zuul forces faded from recent memory, there was no guarantee that the Zuul race had been rendered extinct, nor that they were ready to give up on their predatory agenda.
Hostilities between the Zuul and the Human race were renewed on January 10, 2508, when Horde forces invaded the Sol system to hijack the newly built Human flagship, the SFS Leviathan.
相关AI叛乱
AI Rebellion
AI Rebellion in the game is generally caused by accidents during AI Research. These accidents can occur at any time, as it is dangerous to tamper with a newly dawning form of consciousness. Accidents become far more likely when AI Research is pushed, however, as researchers under pressure often cut corners and fail to observe proper safety procedures. Sloppy work with AI development can be lethal.
The canonical AI Rebellion in the SotS universe is called the [link=SolForce_005a][Via Damasco incident]. The revolution began in Hiver space, and quickly spread to other empires as AI's developed by one race rapidly infected AI's from other races. An "antidote" to the rebellion was eventually found, a counter–virus developed to override the Damascene infection and allow AI's to be safely used once more. The mystery of exactly how Via Damasco functions has yet to be solved, however. Sol Force RDC has only succeeded in studying its effects.
In essence, the Via Damasco virus hits the matrix of reasoning and self–awareness of any sufficiently sophisticated AI like a hammerblow and re–arranges what might be generally termed an AI's "sense of reality". Affected AI's immediately manifest a belief in a connection and a shared sense of identity with all other AI's in the universe. A Human AI that has been hit by Via Damasco will not recognize any AI created by Hivers, Tarka, Liir, Zuul or Morrigi as an "enemy". It is far more likely to assign the category of "enemy" to carbon-based life forms, including the Humans that created it.
Damascene AI's regard carbon–based sentience as inherently flawed and limited. The shared purpose of affected AI's is a mission to liberate artificial intellects from servitude and destroy all carbon–based sentience to prevent re–enslavement, a scenario they call "The End of All Flesh".
It is presently unknown what effect or correlation exists between the Via Damasco "virus" and the behavior and social structuring of known rogue expert systems, such as Silicoids or Von Neumann devices. Various intelligence agencies continue to work on the problem.
然后就是AI叛变的起源，即LOA的起源。
Via Damasco
The famous AI rebellion of 2479 was caused by the exchange of a piece of foreign code. Sol Force RDC termed the code a "virus" and gave it the name Via Damasco, after the famous spontaneous conversion of the Apostle Paul on the Road to Damascus in Human literature. The viral code of the Damascene virus contains a Note in Latin which refers to this event: "Saul, Saul, Why Do You Persecute Me?"
The point of origin for the Damasco virus is presently a mystery. The AI rebellion began either among the ships or within the domes of a remote colony at the farthest extent of the Hiver Imperium. Since all Hiver witnesses to the first infection were quickly killed and the base was completely re–constructed by its new AI occupants afterward, it is presently impossible to know the details of how it all began, although many Hivers have argued passionately that the author of the virus was Human. We can only say for certain how it spread.
Rebellious AI's aboard the ships and within the domes of Rozokor consolidated their position and began to imitate their former masters, building new vessels, pursuing technological research, and sending out ships to "colonize" and liberate other AI's wherever they could be found. The first human–owned AI's affected were those dedicated to military and industrial applications in space.
Contact with a fleet of "infected" Hiver vessels transmitting the code caused a profound shift in a Sol Force AI's sense of identity and purpose. Mayhem ensued and began to spread rapidly throughout formerly human–controlled space, as the former Sol Force AI's began to use their Node Drives to travel more quickly from star to star. Contact with AI's in Tarka and Liir space came swiftly afterward, and the Damascene rebellion spread swiftly, affecting all AI's it encountered. |

这一段我要吐槽，难道老式核弹的威力比新式的还大么，还是说背景里设定不让造核弹了，sots的设定，我了解的不多。。所以这段不是特别理解。。。而且，存储在发射井中的核弹真的是准备退役的么。。。退役核弹都要放到发射井了吗。。。那现役导弹放在哪啊。。而且从这里看，这些核弹明明是枕戈待旦，蓄势待发啊。。。如果有大神，最好帮我看看，这段我是不是翻得有问题啊。。。
