衍生宇宙



Despite being well within the borders of the Old Republic, and having been on official registries for more than 300 years, the planet Myrkr has been steadfastly avoided by the Jedi Knights. The reason for this distance nearly sealed the fate of the New Republic when exploited by the Imperial mastermind, Grand Admiral Thrawn.
尽管摩克尔行星位于旧共和国境内，而且早在300年前就已被官方记录在案，但绝地武士却一直不愿接近它。当帝国军事天才索龙元帅发现绝地和这颗星球保持距离的原因后，新共和国的命运几乎被注定。

It was not the high metal content of the trees that kept the Jedi away, though that characteristic does have notable advantages. The teeming forests of Myrkr obscure sensor readings, making it an ideal hiding place for those on the run from the law. The natural predators that roam these forests aren't the reason either, though the sleek and agile vornskrs exhibit a predisposition to attack Force-sensitives.
摩克尔树木的金属含量都很高。尽管这一特征并非绝地止步的原因，但它的确有着显著的优势。茂密的摩克尔森林使传感器的读数不再可靠，这让摩克尔成为了一个理想的不法分子窝藏点。在森林里游荡的野生掠食动物也不是绝地止步的原因，但毛皮光亮、行动敏捷的翁斯克犬确实具有攻击原力敏感体的天性。

The reason lies in the small sessile salamander-like creatures that live in trees. The native ysalamiri have the singular ability to push back the Force. Their presence creates a bubble wherein the Force doesn't exist. A Jedi trapped in an ysalamiri's presence cannot tap the mystical energy field that defines her abilities.
真正的原因在于那些小型蝾螈状树栖生物。当地的伊萨拉米尔蜥具有排开原力的非凡本领。在它们周围一定范围内，原力会失效。如果一名绝地落入伊萨拉米尔蜥的原力屏蔽范围，那这种给予她力量的神秘能量场将无法形成。

The presence of these creatures is not what drew smuggler chief Talon Karrde to Myrkr; not entirely, anyhow. He genuinely grew to admire Myrkr as a home for his growing smuggler operation, an organization that survived and prospered despite the underworld shakedown that followed Jabba the Hutt's death. Though the ysalamiri were ultimately peripheral to his business ventures, he did profit from his knowledge of the esoteric creatures when the Empire suddenly showed up on Myrkr five years after the Battle of Endor.
走私头目塔隆·卡尔德来摩克尔的目的不是为了寻找这种生物；至少，不完全是。他是真正地喜欢摩克尔，把它当成其走私团伙的基地。赫特人贾巴死后，黑社会一度消沉。但卡尔德的组织却顽强地生存了下来，且日益壮大。尽管伊萨拉米尔蜥对他的商业投机无关紧要，但恩多战役五年后，当帝国突然降临摩克尔时，他还是从这种神秘的动物身上赚取了大量利润。

Grand Admiral Thrawn, a cunning Imperial mastermind, devised a brilliant strategy to retake the Core Worlds. The ysalamiri would be used for two major purposes -- to help recruit and control the insane Dark Jedi Joruus C'baoth into the Imperial ranks, and to facilitate the construction of a new Imperial army, overcoming the limitations of accelerated Spaarti-cylinder based cloning.
索龙元帅是一位诡计多端的帝国军事天才，他制定了一套夺回核心世界的宏伟战略。伊萨拉米尔蜥在其中有两个作用——一是帮助索龙元帅招募精神错乱的黑暗绝地乔鲁乌斯·瑟鲍斯，把他纳入帝国的统治体系，二是克服斯帕蒂柱舱加速克隆技术的缺陷，加快一支新帝国军队的建设步伐。

Eventually, Karrde was forced to pick sides in the growing conflict between the New Republic and the Empire. His decision forced him to flee Myrkr, and the planet was largely forgotten after the failure of Thrawn's campaign. Its unobtrusive port town of Hyllyard City remained a haven for smugglers and malcontents, at least until the Yuuzhan Vong arrived.
最终，卡尔德不得不在新共和国和帝国日益激烈的军事冲突中选择自己的立场。他的决定迫使他逃离摩克尔。这颗星球也在索龙的战役失败后，被世人所淡忘。摩克尔海利亚德市那不起眼的港口城镇依旧是走私犯和不法分子的天堂，直到遇战疯人到来。

The alien incursion into the galaxy left many worlds sundered in its wake. Myrkr was just one of many planets conquered by the Yuuzhan Vong, who developed a voxyn cloning facility in the system.
这群外星人对银河系的入侵导致许多星球生灵涂炭。摩克尔只不过是遇战疯人征服的无数颗星球之一。他们在摩克尔星系里研发了一种沃克辛兽克隆设备。
