Confederacy of Independent Systems 独立星系邦联

电影



Despite rosy recollections of a greater past, the Galactic Republic succumbed into undeniable decay. Its cumbersome bureaucracy slowed down any attempts at reform, and too many of its constituents had grown corrupt and complacent to enact any change. A feeling of disenfranchisement grew in the galaxy, particularly in outlying systems where heavy taxation was not balanced by improved services.
尽管拥有对辉煌过去的美好回忆，但银河共和国还是不可否认地向腐败屈服了。其繁琐的官僚作风减缓了任何改革的步伐，其太多的机构变得腐败、自满，不思变革。一种被剥夺公民权的感觉开始在银河系滋长，特别是在那些税收繁重却没得到相应权益保障的外围星系。

Into this disarray stepped a charismatic man named Count Dooku, a former Jedi, who sought to teach the Republic a lesson. The status quo could be upended and there was an opportunity for change -- radical change. Dooku led a popular Separatist movement that gained increasing momentum, and in two short years, he had a following of several thousand solar systems.
在这混乱的年代，出现了一位具有超凡魅力的人。他叫杜库伯爵。这个前绝地现在想给共和国一个教训。现状随时会被颠覆，这是变革——激进变革的良机。杜库领导着一场群众基础广泛的分离主义运动。这场运动愈发活跃，短短两年间，其麾下已有数千个星系。

For the first time in a thousand years fear of open warfare crept into the Republic. The valiant Jedi Knights were too few to prevent the scattered flashpoints of violence sparked by the Separatists. Supreme Chancellor Palpatine was confident in peaceful resolution through negotiation, but not everyone was so levelheaded.
一千年来，共和国第一次陷入了公开战争的危机。英勇的绝地武士人数过少，无法阻止分离主义者在各地点燃的战火。最高议长帕尔帕廷有信心通过谈判来和平解决危机，但并不是每个人都如此冷静。

Alarmist Senators called for the creation of an Army of the Republic. The Military Creation Act was to be put to a vote, and many believed that the establishment of a Republic military would merely be the catalyst for an all-out civil war. The vote was delayed following an assassination attempt on the opposition leader, Padmé Amidala.
大惊小怪的议员们提议建立一支共和国军。该建军法案将通过投票表决，许多人相信共和国军事力量的建立将是全面内战的催化剂。由于反对派领导人帕德梅·阿米达拉遭遇一次未遂暗杀，该投票只好延期举行。

What none in the Senate knew was that the Separatists were gearing up for war. Count Dooku courted the massive engines of commerce in the galaxy -- institutions such as the Corporate Alliance, the Trade Federation, the Techno Union, InterGalactic Banking Clan and Commerce Guild -- with promises of reform and unyielding devotion to capitalism. In exchange, these bodies would commit their immense armies to the Separatist cause. With their droid armies scattered throughout the galaxy, the Separatists would overwhelm the Republic. Dooku felt confident that ten thousand more systems would join the Separatists.
议会中无人知晓的是，分离主义者正在积极备战。杜库伯爵用改革和坚持资本主义制度不动摇的承诺换来银河系几大商业巨头的支持——其中包括企业同盟、贸易联盟、技术联盟、星际银行业集团和商业行会等机构。作为交换，这些团体将他们庞大的军队投入分离主义事业。随着他们的机器人大军遍布银河，他们将颠覆共和国。杜库很自信地认为还将有一万个行星系加入分离势力。

In a darkened conference room on the Techno Union foundry world of Geonosis, Count Dooku made his offer, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems was formally established. This meeting of the minds was overheard by Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who warned the Republic of this alarming new development.
在技术联盟的铸造世界吉奥诺西斯，杜库伯爵在一间阴暗的会议室提出他的主张，独立星系邦联正式成立。这次峰会被绝地武士欧比-旺·克诺比偷听到了，他把这一令人担忧的新情况通知了共和国。

The Republic responded with a pre-emptive strike against the Separatists, attacking their world with a newly created clone army. In the explosive ground battle that ensued, the Clone Wars between the Separatists and Republic began.
共和国对分离势力发动先发制人的打击，用新组建的克隆人军队攻击他们的星球。激烈的地面战紧随其后，标志着分离势力和共和国之间的克隆人战争开始了。

For three long years the Clone Wars spread across the galaxy. While Count Dooku was the public and political face of the Confederacy, its military arm was led by the deadly General Grievous. In the last months of the conflict, the fighting was most intense in the Outer Rim Sieges. It was during this time that the leadership of the Confederacy, the Separatist Council, was always on the move.
三年来，克隆人战争的战火烧遍整个银河系。虽然杜库伯爵是邦联的代言人和政治领袖，但其军事机构由鬼魅般的格里弗斯将军领导。在这场战争的最后几个月里，外环围攻战打得最为激烈。正是在这段时间，邦联领导层——分离主义委员会——一直在转移。

After leaving their sanctuary on Utapau, the Council fled to Mustafar, a fiery world in the Outer Rim Territories. There, their secret benefactor Darth Sidious advised them that his new apprentice, Darth Vader, would take of them.
离开他们在尤塔帕的避难所后，委员会逃往穆斯塔法——一个位于外环星域的炽热星球。在那里，他们的秘密资助人达斯·西迪厄斯告诉他们，其新徒弟达斯·维德将会见他们。

Despite their shrewd business sense, the Separatists did not see their betrayal coming. The war was a sham, engineered by Chancellor Palpatine who was in truth, Darth Sidious. Having achieved his objective of building a New Order in reaction to the threats posed by the Clone Wars, Sidious liquidated his allies. Darth Vader arrived on Mustafar and slaughtered the Separatist Council. He then ordered a command signal that shut down the battle droid military. The huge commerce entities that made up the Confederacy became the spoils of war, as the newfound Empire nationalized them and absorbed them into its growing war machine.
虽然有精明的商业头脑，但这群分离主义者完全没有意识到他们即将遭到背叛。这场战争是一场骗局，由帕尔帕廷议长一手制造，他其实就是达斯·西迪厄斯。为了应对克隆人战争的威胁，西迪厄斯建立了新秩序。这一目标实现后，他开始清算盟友。达斯·维德抵达穆斯塔法后，屠杀了分离主义委员会。然后，他发出一个指令信号，关闭了战斗机器人大军。那些组成邦联的巨型商业实体成为战利品，它们被新成立的帝国国有化，纳入帝国不断膨胀的战争机器。

衍生宇宙



The Separatist movement began eight years after Supreme Chancellor Palpatine's election, though many of the roots of its origins date back much earlier than that. Palpatine's stint as Supreme Chancellor was so rocked by various crises that he was able to outlast term limitations while dealing with them.
虽说分离主义运动始于帕尔帕廷当选最高议长八年后，但其许多根源可以追溯到更早以前。帕尔帕廷担任议长期间发生了各种危机，局势动荡，由于要处理这些事件，其任期超过了规定的限制。

When Dooku appeared on Raxus Prime with a fiery brand of political rhetoric demanding reform, many were prepared to listen. Dooku's words resonated with the galaxy's disaffected populace, and many picked up the banner of the Separatist cause even though they had no direct connection to Dooku. Opportunists used Dooku's name to further their own agendas under the guise of political protest, and this led to scattered violence across the Republic.
当杜库打着冠冕堂皇的政治改革旗号出现在拉克萨斯主行星时，很多人都准备听从他。杜库的话在那些对银河现状不满的人群中产生了共鸣。许多人即使与杜库没有直接联系，也举起了分离主义事业的大旗。机会主义者借用杜库的名义，在政治抗议的伪装下，实现他们的利己企图。这导致共和国各地暴力事件频发。

During the months prior to the formal formation of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, many violent confrontations were attributed to Separatist forces, though the Jedi Council discounted any attempts to blame Dooku for such activities. The Jedi had to weather an increasingly tarnished public image as their forces were spread too thin to protect against the acts of treason seemingly orchestrated by one of their own.
在独立星系邦联正式成立前的几个月里，人们把很多暴力冲突都归咎于分离势力，但绝地委员会不相信任何指责杜库引起这些暴力活动的言论。绝地的力量过于单薄，无法阻止看似由他们中的一员主导的叛国行为，因此他们必须面对公众形象日益败坏的严酷现实。

Supreme Chancellor Palpatine took to the HoloNet to ask Count Dooku to parlay, but he received no response. He formed a loyalist committee to better help him deal with the crisis, but had to endure further scandal when it was revealed that even that entity had been infiltrated by Separatist-sympathizers.
最高议长帕尔帕廷通过全息网请求杜库伯爵谈判，但没收到回应。他成立了一个忠诚者委员会来帮助自己更好地应对危机，但不得不乘受随之而来的丑闻，因为连这个机构都被人揭发出已遭分离主义同情者的渗透。

It was at the first engagement of the Clone Wars that the Confederacy of Independent Systems formally emerged, protected by the droid armies of various corporate entities. Though they were routed at the Battle of Geonosis, the Separatists eventually regrouped, and the Clone Wars spread to many battlefronts across the galaxy.
正是在克隆人战争的第一次交火中，独立星系邦联正式亮相，他们由各种企业集团的机器人军队保护。尽管在吉奥诺西斯战役中被击溃，但分离势力最终又重新集结，克隆人战争的战火蔓延至整个银河系。

幕后



Though commonly referred to as the Separatist movement, the formal name "Confederacy of Independent Systems" didn't come into play until the meeting of the corporate minds that Count Dooku holds in Episode II. In the early drafts of the Episode II script, the Separatists were said to encompass "hundreds" of systems, which was upped to thousands by the time of the film's release.
尽管通常被称为分离主义运动，但直到杜库伯爵在《第二部》中举行企业巨头峰会，“独立星系邦联”这一正式名称才被启用。在《第二部》剧本的早期草稿中，分离势力据称包括“数百个”行星系，电影上映时，这一数字已增加到数千。
