Space slugs are colossal, worm-like creatures that reside within the furrows and craters of asteroids and airless planetoids. The slug's bizarre biology allows it to survive in the vacuum of space. Space slugs have been seen to grow up to 800 meters in length. The chaotic Hoth asteroid field is known to host such a massive specimen.
太空蛞蝓是巨大的蠕虫状生物，居住在小行星和无空气微型行星的深沟和陨石坑里。这种蛞蝓的异常生理机能允许它在宇宙真空中存活。太空蛞蝓曾被发现生长到800米的长度。目前已知混乱的霍斯小行星带就栖息着这样一个大家伙。

衍生宇宙



Silicon-based lifeforms, the typical space slug rarely exceeds 10 meters in length. They are most often found on asteroids, where they metabolize minerals through an intricate root system that taps into the rock. Their mouths are also lined with pointed teeth as space slugs feed on mynocks.
太空蛞蝓是硅基生命体，一般长度极少超过10米。它们常常在小行星上被发现，在那里，它们通过深入岩石的复杂根系分解矿石产生代谢变化。它们的嘴里也布满尖锐的牙齿，使太空蛞蝓能以迈诺克为食。

Space slugs are solitary creatures that reproduce through fission. Upon reaching a certain size, space slugs generally split into two smaller offspring. On occasion, though, this fission does not occur, and in their gravity-free native environment, slugs can grow to prodigious sizes.
太空蛞蝓是通过分裂繁殖的独居生物。当长到某一大小时，太空蛞蝓一般分裂成两个较小的幼体。但有时，这种分裂不会发生，在无重力的生长环境中，蛞蝓的体积会长得异常庞大。

Space slug flesh has a number of commercial uses. Their crystalline organs are used in a number of electronic devices and their immensely tough skin is used as a fine abrasive. Certain portions of space slug anatomy are refined and used by the cosmetics industry. As such, space slugs are actively hunted.
太空蛞蝓的肉有许多商业用途。它们的晶体器官被用于许多电子设备，它们极其坚韧的皮肤可以制成一种很好的研磨剂。太空蛞蝓身体的某些部分可以被提炼并用于化妆品工业。因此，太空蛞蝓被疯狂地捕杀。

幕后



The deep space Star Wars equivalent of a whale, the space slug was developed in sketches by Ralph McQuarrie and Nilo Rodis-Jamero. Jamero took extra care to ensure the proper scale when developing the creature's texture. The space slug was realized as a puppet 79 centimeters long and 28 centimeters in diameter. Industrial Light & Magic also constructed a large model of the inside of the creature's mouth.
作为《星球大战》的外太空版鲸，太空蛞蝓的草图由拉尔夫·麦夸里和尼洛·罗迪斯-贾梅罗绘制。在绘制这种生物的结构时，贾梅罗额外小心地确保身体各部分比例正确。太空蛞蝓由一个长79厘米、直径28厘米的模型实现。工业光魔还为这个生物的口腔内部造了一个大模型。

EN同学呢

太空蛞蝓应该不以能量为食吧
