Spearheading the lightning strike against Coruscant that resulted in the capture of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was the distinctive capital warship employed by General Grievous. With accommodations for the upper strata of Confederacy leadership -- namely Grievous and Count Dooku -- the cruiser was nothing short of a flagship for the Separatist fleet.
这艘由格里弗斯将军使用的独特军舰在闪击科洛桑的战役中打头阵，结果俘虏了最高议长帕尔帕廷。由于搭载着邦联最高领导层——即格里弗斯和杜库，这艘巡洋舰就成为分离势力舰队的旗舰了。

A roughly cylindrical warship, the cruiser's surface was dotted with heavy weapons emplacements capable of piercing through the shields and hulls of enemy vessels. The ponderous cannons, though, were too slow to target the tiny Jedi starfighters that darted past the cruiser's defenses and infiltrated the ship's spacious hangar bay.
这是一艘大致呈圆柱形的军舰。这艘巡洋舰的表面散布着能击穿敌舰护盾和船体的重型武器。但是，这些笨重的火炮射速太慢，无法瞄准微小的绝地星际战斗机，使它们得以冲过巡洋舰的防御，闯入船上庞大的机库。

The bridge of the cruiser was located on a platform resting atop the bow of the vessel, before the bow began to taper to its pointed nose. The bridge featured huge panoramic windows surrounding the bulked out command chair occupied by a Neimoidian captain. As a Trade Federation vessel, its piloting crew was predominantly Neimoidian, supplemented by battle droids. General Grievous typically maintained command from the bridge.
巡洋舰的舰桥位于舰艏上方的平台，在舰桥的前方，舰艏开始逐渐变得尖削。舰桥拥有大型全景窗，环绕在内莫伊迪亚人舰长宽大的指挥椅四周。作为一艘贸易联盟飞船，其驾驶团队主要是内莫伊迪亚人，再加上辅助的战斗机器人。格里弗斯将军通常会在舰桥指挥战斗。

Towards the aft end of the craft was a towering fin-like spire that rose from the rest of the hull. Within this spire were the General's Quarters, a military command center with tactical displays, briefing table, and an enormous observation deck with a wide view of surrounding space. It was here that Dooku and Grievous held the captive Palpatine, as a lure to the Jedi heroes who would undoubtedly dare to enter the ship and stage a rescue.
在靠近船尾的地方，有一个鳍状的高塔独立于船体的其它部分。高塔内部就是将军的住处。这是一个军事指挥中心，内有战术显示屏、简报桌和一个视野广阔的大型观察甲板，能观察四周的太空。杜库和格里弗斯就把帕尔帕廷囚禁在这里，以便引诱绝地英雄们无所畏惧地进入船内实施营救行动。

It was Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker who answered the call to retrieve the Chancellor. In his starfighter, Anakin blasted the containment shield protecting the hangar bay, exposing the docking facilities to hard vacuum. Before emergency blast shields could seal off the bay, Skywalker and Kenobi landed their fighters inside. Once within, the astromech droid R2-D2 plugged into the cruiser's computer network and mapped out a route to the captive Chancellor.
接下营救议长任务的正是欧比-旺·克诺比和阿纳金·天行者。阿纳金在其星际战斗机中炸开保护机库的阻隔护盾，让停泊设施暴露在绝对真空中。在紧急防暴护盾封闭机库前，天行者和克诺比把他们的战斗机停了进去。一旦进入，宇航技工机器人R2-D2就连上巡洋舰的计算机网络，找出通往被俘议长的所在位置。

Waylaid by Republic capital ships, the Trade Federation cruiser was unable to escape Coruscant. Powerful broadsides from Republic attack ships crippled the vessel, making the Jedi rescue mission all the more difficult. Obi-Wan and Anakin had to contend with battle droids and droidekas, as well as the failing ship systems as they liberated the Chancellor.
在共和国主力舰的拦截下，贸易联盟巡洋舰无法逃离科洛桑。共和国攻击舰强大的侧舷炮火重创巡洋舰，让绝地的营救任务更加困难。欧比-旺和阿纳金必须一边营救议长，一边对付战斗机器人、机器佣兵和几近失控的飞船。

It was when the Jedi were rounded up and taken before General Grievous on the bridge that the worst of the damage was taken by the cruiser. Losing momentum, the ship began to succumb to Coruscant's gravity well. Though Grievous fled on one of the ship's numerous escape pods, the Jedi were left to level the cruiser's descent. Kenobi and Skywalker opened the ship's hatches, flaps and drag fins to slow the cruiser's drop, but gravitic stresses tore the ship in two.
绝地被包围后，被带到舰桥上面见格里弗斯将军，这艘巡洋舰正是在这个时候遭到了最严重的损坏。失去动力的飞船开始被拽入科洛桑的重力井。格里弗斯从船上众多的逃生舱中选了一艘逃离，但绝地却留了下来尝试平缓巡洋舰的下坠。克诺比和天行者打开船上的舱门、阻力板和拖拽翼以减缓巡洋舰的坠落，不过重力却将这艘飞船撕裂成两半。

It is testament to Anakin Skywalker's piloting ability that he was able to land so fragmented a craft. Coruscant emergency services escorted the ship through the atmosphere, dousing what surface flames they could through the use of their firespeeders. Anakin brought the vessel to a screeching halt on a barren landing strip in Coruscant's industrial districts. Though Skywalker, Kenobi and Palpatine survived the landing, the cruiser was utterly ruined.
如何将这样不完整的飞船降落，对阿纳金的驾驶技巧是个考验。科洛桑应急服务机构护卫这艘飞船穿过大气层，利用灭火飞行艇尽可能浇灭飞船表面的火焰。在科洛桑工业区一条空旷的降落跑道，阿纳金驾驶飞船带着尖啸着陆了。虽然天行者、克诺比和帕尔帕廷都在降落中生还，但这艘巡洋舰已彻底报废。

衍生宇宙



Grievous' flagship, the Invisible Hand, was originally commissioned to serve Nute Gunray and his advisors. When Darth Sidious placed Grievous in control of all Separatist military operations, Gunray sheepishly had to surrender to Grievous the vaunted warship and its crew of Neimoidian navigators and gunnery officers. The esteemed captain, Lushros Dofine, came from one of the most influential and wealthiest Neimoidian families.
格里弗斯的旗舰“无形之手号”原来是被指派给纽特·冈雷及其参谋的。达斯·西迪厄斯让格里弗斯控制所有分离势力军事行动后，冈雷不得不怯懦地把这艘徒有虚名的军舰及其内莫伊迪亚人导航员、炮手等船员让给格里弗斯。德高望重的舰长勒什罗斯·多法因来自最有影响力和财富的内莫伊迪亚家族之一。

The Invisible Hand started its operational life as a Providence-class carrier/destroyer that underwent some major modifications to serve as Grievous' flagship. To better function as a starfighter carrier and invasion craft, the ship had much its aft reactor bay assembly rearranged to accommodate a spacious hangar bay. In its final configuration, the Invisible Hand reflected Grievous' vanity. He had its spire-mounted communication and sensor pod refitted into a spacious set of quarters, which were eventually taken over by Count Dooku as his sanctum and transmission base for when the Separatists were constantly on the move.
“无形之手号”作为一艘“天意级”航空母舰/驱逐舰开始其军舰生涯，同时作为格里弗斯的旗舰接受了一些主要的改装。为了更好地充当一艘星际战斗机母舰和入侵军舰，这艘飞船的大部分舰艉反应核组舱被重新安排，以腾出一个宽敞的机库。“无形之手号”的最终结构反映了格里弗斯的虚荣心。他把安装在高塔上的通讯和传感舱改装成一套宽敞的居室。由于分离势力一直行踪不定，因此杜库伯爵最终占据这套居室，将其作为自己的密室和通讯基地。

Early in the Clone Wars, General Grievous was the most responsible for the spreading of Separatist territory through unallied sectors. Before the war, Count Dooku had relied on charisma and diplomacy to lure worlds into separatism. Once the war erupted, such subtlety was lost and Grievous was tasked to take worlds by force. The Invisible Hand, leading the charge of a Separatist flotilla, grew to be feared in the distant Outer Rim and other unprotected regions of space. It was the Invisible Hand that released the deadly Loedorvian Brain Plague in the Weemell Sector, that coordinated the withering bombardment of the planet Humbarine, and that led the attack that conquered Duro for the Confederacy.
克隆人战争早期，格里弗斯将军主要负责为分离势力在非结盟星区扩张领土。战前，杜库伯爵依靠魅力和外交引诱各个星球加入分离主义事业。一旦战争爆发，这套阴谋诡计就失效了，于是格里弗斯奉命以武力占领各个星球。作为分离势力舰队的旗舰，“无形之手号”逐渐在外环和其他未受保护的空域成为人们的噩梦。正是“无形之手号”在威梅尔星区释放致命的勒多维亚脑瘟疫，协调对亨巴林行星的毁灭性轰炸，以及指挥邦联军征服杜罗。

So well known was the Invisible Hand that the Separatists exploited its reputation by using decoy ships, such as the Lucid Voice and the Colicoid Swarm to confound and terrorize Republic worlds.
“无形之手号”太出名了，于是分离势力利用其威名派遣伪装飞船，比如派遣“清澈嗓音号”和“科利科伊德人群号”去迷惑和威胁共和国世界。

With the fall of Duro, the Confederacy had its fleet and forces perched on Corellia's doorstep, the next logical link in a chain that would take Grievous to the Core. The Republic reinforced that corridor, but it was all a feint. Darth Sidious was somehow able to procure top secret Republic and Jedi travel routes that wove through the galaxy's volatile Deep Core. Using this unlikely approach, the ships of the Separatist fleets carefully made their way through the star-crowded interior of the galaxy, to emerge in a surprise attack on a relatively unprotected flank of Coruscant's defenses.
随着杜罗的陷落，邦联将其陆海军部署到了科雷利亚的门口。在格里弗斯向核心世界推进的路线上，科雷利亚成为下一个最有可能进攻的点。共和国向那一线增派兵力，但这一切不过是一个圈套。达斯·西迪厄斯设法获得了共和国和绝地的绝密航路，这些航路能迂回穿过银河系危机四伏的深核。分离势力的舰队利用这些没有十足把握的航路，小心翼翼地穿过恒星密集的银河系中心，向防御相对薄弱的科洛桑侧翼发动奇袭。

In the chaos and confusion of the Battle of Coruscant, rampant signal jamming led to crossed-orders among the Republic ranks. Had they known the flagship contained the Chancellor and their Jedi heroes, it may not have taken the brunt of so many brutal broadsides. A final cannonade from the Republic Star Destroyer Guarlara mortally wounded the Invisible Hand, causing it to succumb to Coruscant's gravitic stresses.
在科洛桑战役的混乱中，愈演愈烈的信号干扰导致共和国军中的指令无法上传下达。如果他们知道议长和绝地英雄在敌军旗舰内，如此大规模的侧舷炮火或许就不会出现。共和国歼星舰“瓜拉拉号”的最后一阵炮击重创了“无形之手号”，导致其被拽入科洛桑的重力场。

幕后



Known simply as the "Trade Federation cruiser" or "command ship," the design of Grievous' flagship was meant to make it stand out from a sea of swarming capital vessels. To clearly illustrate the objective of the Jedi, Palpatine's holding area -- the General's Quarters -- was raised above the body of the ship atop a prominent spire. This helped to map out the locations of the main areas of the ship -- the bridge, the General's Quarters, and the central hangar.
在设计时，格里弗斯的旗舰仅仅被称为“贸易联盟巡洋舰”或“指挥舰”。它被故意设计成在一大群主力舰中鹤立鸡群。为了清楚表明绝地的目标，帕尔帕廷的囚禁区——将军的住处——被安排在舰体上方的显著高塔顶端。这有助于规划飞船主要区域——舰桥、将军的住处和中央机库——的位置。

Early concept sketches described the cruiser as being from the Banking Clan world of Mygeeto, thus producing a number of art pieces with prominent crystalline structures.
早期概念草图将这艘巡洋舰设定为来自银河业集团的星球麦基托，于是产生了一系列绘制着显著水晶结构的图片。

Several full sized sets were constructed at Fox Studios in Sydney Australia to represent environments within the ship -- more than were actually seen in the finished film. Director/Writer George Lucas planned more serial-type escapades aboard the cruiser than he intended to keep in the final edit, to allow him to choose which events worked best on film. Among the sequences cut from the movie was an early encounter between the Jedi and General Grievous, which led to the Jedi cutting through the floor to land in a generator room filled with starship fuel. Though the sequence was shot in a water tank (with water doubling as fuel), it was never completed and never made the final edit.
在澳大利亚悉尼的福克斯摄影棚，有一些真实比例的场景被制作出来以代表飞船内部环境——比在最终电影里实际看到的场景还要多。为了选择哪些场景最契合电影，导演兼编剧乔治·卢卡斯计划了许多在这艘巡洋舰上环环相扣的冒险场景，其中只有较少一部分会被他保留到最终剪辑阶段。在那些从电影里被剪掉的镜头中，有一段讲述了绝地和格里弗斯将军的早期遭遇战，这导致绝地割开地板，跳进一个满是星际飞船燃料的发电室里。这组镜头是在水箱里拍摄的（用水代表燃料），但从未完成，也从未进入最终剪辑阶段。

For the dramatic collapse of the vessel as it began to roll out of control, several partial sets were built within a "revolve," an immense spinning drum that can house a set, constantly reorienting "down" as it spins. Mounting a camera within a revolving set is how old practical effects gags such as characters running on a ceiling was achieved. While several such gags were shot, only a few were kept in the film.
为了拍摄这艘飞船开始失去控制翻滚时惊天动地的解体镜头，一些不完整的布景被搭建在“转室”内，这种巨大的滚筒能容纳一个布景，它旋转时，始终朝“下”。把摄像机安装在一个旋转布景内是非常古老实用的特效骗局，比如演员跑上天花板就是这么实现的。虽然这种镜头被拍摄了一些，但只有个别被保留到了电影里。
