A planet in the Koobi star system, Nelvaan is a primitive world of low gravity experiencing the onset of an ice age. Three moons orbit Nelvaan, a scarcely charted world of the Outer Rim that lacked planetary government and held no allegiance in the Clone Wars. Its simple inhabitants have largely avoided off-world contact, even though Bothan water freighters occasionally fill their holds with the pure glacial run-off from this planet. These crafty traders sell their tanks of water in local space with promises of invigorating, life-bolstering minerals which have never been scientifically scrutinized.
内尔万行星位于库比星系，是一颗低重力的原始星球，正经历着一次刚到来的冰河期。这颗未被详细绘入星图的外环行星拥有三颗卫星。当地没有行星政府，在克隆人战争期间没有与任何一方结盟。尽管博萨人的运水货船偶尔来这颗行星装载纯净的冰川融水，但其淳朴的居民还是几乎不与外界接触。精明的博萨商人把整箱整箱的水在当地空域售卖，信誓旦旦水里有提神醒脑、补充体力的矿物质——其实它们从未接受过科学鉴定。

To the Nelvaanians, such trade is largely inconsequential, as these harvesting operations happen far from their isolated villages. A secondary and somewhat inadvertent export of the planet was a pidgin variant of the local language acquired by the first Bothan scouts, who went on to incorporate Nelvaanese phrases into trade dialects that can be found in surrounding space.
对内尔万人来说，这些贸易活动基本不重要，因为这些采集作业离他们与世隔绝的村落很远。这颗行星一不小心还出口了另一样东西——第一批博萨探险家学会的洋泾浜当地话。这些博萨人不断把内尔万词组搀杂到在附近空域使用的贸易方言里。

Nelvaan's low gravity has fostered the growth of some truly massive life forms, like the voracious horax that thunders through the forests. It has also produced odd landscapes of precarious mesas that would have toppled centuries ago in worlds with standard gravities. In the shadows of such mesas live the Nelvaanians -- canine-muzzled humanoids that live a primitive, tribal existence.
内尔万的低重力促进了一些生物长出真正庞大的体形，比如巨口饕餮的霍拉克斯，它穿过森林时足声如雷。低重力也构造起奇异的地形。若是换在标准重力的星球，这里危险的台地在数个世纪前就已坍塌了。在这些台地下的阴影里，生活着内尔万人——这些口鼻像犬的人形种族居住在原始部落里。

During the Clone Wars, the Techno Union had a top secret operation on Nelvaan. Tapping into the planet's geothermal energies, they powered a subterranean laboratory dedicated to cyborg warrior development. Unhappy with the technological progress of battle droid armies, and inspired by the success of General Grievous' cybernetic form, a secret group of Techno Union specialists began capturing native Nelvaanians and subjecting them to experimental mutation programs in search of the perfect cyborged super soldier.
克隆人战争期间，技术联盟在内尔万开展了一项绝密计划。他们利用行星地热能，为专门研发半机器人战士的地下实验室供电。由于对战斗机器人军队的技术进步不满意，又受到格里弗斯将军半机器人躯体成功的启发，一个技术联盟秘密专家小组开始掳掠当地的内尔万人，把他们作为变异试验项目的对象，以寻求完美的半机器人超级战士。

The laboratory used a geothermal crystal at the heart of a massive siphon generator that drained the surrounding area of thermal energies. The result was an endless winter along the Rokrul villages. Many of the village's greatest warrior scouts went to investigate the strange noises and activities, only to vanish. Even Rokrul's wise shaman, Orvos, could provide no answers. But the ancient seer had a vision of strangers that would enter their land, and learn what ailed the Mother -- the Nelvaanian term for their world.
实验室的大型虹吸发电机内核有一块地热水晶，使发电机会消耗周围区域的热能。这导致罗克鲁尔村地区的冬季漫长无边。村里许多最伟大的战士侦察兵前往调查奇怪的噪音和震动，不料一去不复返。连罗克鲁尔村的睿智巫师奥沃斯也一筹莫展。但这个老先知预见到将有陌生人造访，查明“母亲”的病因。“母亲”是内尔万人对自己星球的敬称。

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Nelvaan at the end of the Clone Wars, following intelligence reports that General Grievous had been spotted in the area. They entered the Rokrul village and learned of the problems faced by the Nelvaanians. Anakin Skywalker followed the frozen river to the heart of the geothermal disturbance -- a cavern that cut deep into Nelvaan's surface. There, he experienced a prophetic vision of impending darkness, and also discovered the secret Techno Union laboratory.
根据情报部门在此区域发现格里弗斯将军的报告，欧比-旺·克诺比和阿纳金·天行者在克隆人战争末期来到内尔万。他们进入罗克鲁尔村，了解了内尔万人遭遇的困境。阿纳金·天行者顺着冰冻的河流来到地热扰动的中心——一个深深切入内尔万地表的洞穴。在那里，他在幻觉中预见即将降临的黑暗，还发现了技术联盟的秘密实验室。

Skywalker was able to free the mutated captives and destroy the laboratory. By releasing the captive geothermal crystal from the siphon generator, Skywalker was able to stop the energy drain that had plunged the land into its lengthy winter.
天行者成功解放变异的囚徒，摧毁了实验室。他释放了被虹吸发电机束缚的地热水晶，导致漫长冬日笼罩大地的能量流失也随之停止。
