Stalker(跟踪者)
建造于:Getway(兵营)
武器: Chronal web
特点:高速移动、侦察、埋伏
the dark templar are a branch of the protoss race that refused to surrender their individuality to the encompassing psionic gestalt of the Khala. In ages past they were exiled from the protoss homeworld of Aiur and left to wander the Void before they found a new home on the distant planet Shakuras.

黑暗圣堂是神族的一个分支,但是由于他们不愿把自己奉献给围绕Khala城的能量形态,被迫离开神族的基地Aiur,他们在遥远的Shakuras星球上建立了自己的新家。

Denied the support of the great forges and armories of their homeworld, the dark templar were forced to find new ways to defend themselves from a hostile universe. dark templar warriors learned new ways of war. By focusing their inner psionic strength and drawing power from the Void itself the dark templar learned to mask their presence and strike unseen from the shadows. The defiant exiles perfected techniques to spread terror and confusion among their enemies by assassinating leaders and destroying vital structures. Ultimately the dark templar came to rival even the mighty zealots in combat.

     由于拒绝基地Aiur提供的武器和技术,暗黑圣堂必须找到一种新式的战斗方法来抵御敌对星球来保护自己。黑暗圣堂中的一些勇士找到了一种方法,那就是聚集自己内在的力量并且从空间本身提取能量,从而使自己能够隐身同时能攻击敌人。黑暗圣堂的这种在隐身中杀死敌人指挥官和破坏敌人关键建筑的完美战术使他们的敌人无比恐惧和困惑。最终黑暗圣堂和狂热者一样成为战斗中的重要力量。

However, the overthrow of Aiur has proven that guile alone cannot defeat a foe as relentless as the zerg. Inspired by the ancient and honored dragoon walkers the dark templar have begun to build war machines of their own. The stalker is a machine controlled by the shadow-essence of a dark templar warrior, willingly fused into its metal body to protect his people.

     但是,基地Aiur认为诡计在对抗像虫族这样残暴的敌人时是无用的。于是黑暗圣堂从龙骑的设计上得到了灵感,他们开始为自己建造一种战斗机器stalker,黑暗圣堂用自己的隐形原理来控制stalker,希望这个金属身体能更好地保护自己。

Swift and deadly, stalkers have been credited with many fantastic powers in recent conflicts. Nevertheless the only one that has been witnessed consistently is the ability to instantly teleport or 'blink' from one spot to another. This ability enables stalkers to strike from unexpected quarters, catch a fleeing foe, or escape an unfavorable encounter.

     在现代的战役中,stalker使黑暗圣堂显示出了奇异力量,敏捷和致命。Stalker可以在战场上瞬间转移,这种能力可以使他迅速接近逃跑的敌人实施攻击,还可以使自己逃出困境。
Protoss Stalker's blink ability lets it scale up to elevated positions where line of sight is available
神族stalker 的瞬间移动的能力可以用来扩大视野。

The deadly particle disruptors mounted on the stalker's carapace are equally adept at crippling targets on the ground or in the air. Ambushes by groups of stalkers have brought fiery doom upon many attack wings that thought themselves safe from retribution.

被安装在stalker上的粒子破坏枪可以攻击天空或地面的目标,埋伏着的成群stalkers可以对飞行器以强烈的攻击,从而确保自己的安全。
Phase prism(相位棱镜)

建造于:Robotics Facility(机器人工厂)
武器:无
特性:战术转移

For thousands of years the Protoss have studied the nature of time and space. Through their painstaking studies and experiments protoss researchers have uncovered many of the secrets of the universe. Using psionic manufacturing processes, the protoss have learned how to create a robotic mind whose programming is built into the molecules of an advanced crystal lattice. This "crystal computer" is able to manipulate matter and energy with a precision no ordinary organic mind could comprehend.

神族几千年来一直在研究时间和空间的自然规律。通过他们的辛苦研究和经验思想汇报,神族研究者发现了很多宇宙中的秘密。比如运用魔法的建造方法,现在神族已经学会了如何建造机器头脑,这种头脑的程序可以传输到高级的晶体网格中。这种晶体电脑可以精确操纵能量和物体,是普通头脑所无法比拟的。

The protoss use these "phase prisms" in several ways. Their primary function is to transport protoss forces on the field of battle. Both living and inorganic subjects can be transformed into energy, and their unique energy signature imprinted into the prism's crystal lattice core. Upon reaching the destination point the operation is reversed and the stored energy signatures are reconfigured into matter in proximity to the phase prism.

神族的phase prisms(相位棱镜)有好几种用途。最重要的用途是传送部队到前沿阵地。生命体和无机物都可以被转化为能量,而且这些独特的能量信号可以被留在prism的晶体网格的中心。到达了指定目的地后被储存的能量信号可以被重新装配到phase prism附近的物体中。

A secondary but no less vital function of the phase prism is to act as a mobile focus for the protoss psionic matrix. Once the prism is deployed it will power protoss structures around it. In this configuration phase prisms are often used to temporarily replace destroyed pylons in a colony or enable the rapid establishment of a forward base of operations.

phase prism的第二个,但是也是很重要的一个作用就是作为神族能量矩阵的可移动中心,他可以为他周围的建筑提供能量。由于这个特性,phase prism常常又来代替被摧毁的pylons(灯塔),还可以加快前方基地的建造。(估计是在无pylons的情况下就可以造防御了)

Phase Prism's power ability in conjunction with Warp Gates allows Protoss to quickly field reinforcements
Phase Prism的能量配合Getway(兵营)可以使神族快速增援战场。

Phase Prism can power Protoss buildings in absence of a Pylon
在没有pylon的情况下,Phase Prism可以为神族建筑提供能量。


Getway(兵营)
建造:zealot(狂热者)   immortal(龙骑)   stalker(跟随者) 等等

The protoss' ability to manipulate time and space far surpasses the limited understanding of other races. A gateway is a structure capable of opening a spatial rift via which protoss forces can be warped directly from their home territories to the battlefield. A phenomenal amount of energy is required for this operation and, as with all protoss structures, a gateway can only function if it is powered by the psionic matrix formed by a network of pylons or phase prisms.

神族操纵时间和空间的能力已经远远超越了其他种族。Gateway(兵营)就是一种可以开启空间隧道的建筑,他可以把神族的部队从遥远的后方直接传送到自己的旁边。这种传输操作需要大量的能量,所以他就像神族其他的建筑一样,只能被放置在有pylons或phase prisms提供的能量矩阵的中。

Once a gateway has been established, it can be reconfigured to an even more remarkable device: a warp gate. Functionally a warp gate is similar to a gateway in that both devices open a spatial rift. However, protoss forces moving through a gateway must emerge in close proximity to the structure, whereas those summoned via a warp gate can be projected to any part of the battlefield that lies within the psionic matrix.

一旦gateway建造好,他还可以被重新装配成为更高级的建筑——warp gate。他和gateway一样可以开启空间隧道,不同的是,gateway只能把神族的部队传送的自己周围,而warp gate可以把部队传送到有能量矩阵的任意地方。

When used in combination with the mobile phase prisms, warp gates allow the protoss unprecedented flexibility in their force deployment. Warp gates can transport protoss warriors directly to the front lines, instantly send defenders to a beleaguered outpost, or rapidly build up attack groups in unexpected sectors. Enemy commanders must be constantly on the lookout for phase prisms penetrating their defensive zones or they can quickly find an entire protoss army deployed on their doorstep.

通过和phase prisms配合使用,warp gates可以大大提高神族部队的调动能力。warp gates可以运送神族战士直接到前线,直接把防御者送去围攻前方哨所,或者是在任意地方快速组织攻击群,敌人指挥官必须不停地侦察自己的防御阵地是否出现phase prisms,否则一个神族完整的战斗群会很快被运送到他的面前。

Zealot

建造于:(gateway)兵营
武器:能量刀
用途:攻击

For millennia the Templar caste of the Protoss have defended their people from threats both internal and external, dedicating their long lives to the pursuit of martial perfection. Zealots are peerless templar warriors who have yet to achieve the uppermost ranks of the Khala. Ever eager for battle, zealots train constantly to attune themselves more closely to the Khala's disciplines and prove themselves worthy of advancement. They exemplify the unbridled ferocity of the protoss at war.

在过去的几千年来,神族高贵的圣堂武士一直保护他们的人民免受种族内部和外族的侵略,一生都用来使自己的武学完美。Zealot是圣堂武士中能完成一系列艰难任务的佼佼者。他们渴望战斗,他们不停地训练使自己是最强的。他们是神族战争中最凶残的兵种。

The formidable physique of a zealot is further enhanced by cybernetic implants and their coveted power suit. Yet a zealot is far more than the technology he bears. Each Zealot is trained for decades in hand to hand combat, tactics, pain tolerance and martial discipline. Zealots are taught to hate their enemies with a white hot passion and to hunt them down without mercy.

狂热者的身体已经被大大地加强了,他们渴望更加强大的装备。每个狂热者都要接受长达几十年的训练,包括真实格斗,战术素养,疼痛忍耐力,军队纪律等。狂热者从小就被教育疯狂地去恨敌人对敌人毫不留情。

All protoss have some psionic ability and zealots focus their minds exclusively on the pursuit of war. Focus crystals in their heavy forearm units enable zealots to channel their strength of will into blades of pure psionic energy - their primary melee weapons. Using a limited form of precognition, zealots can even predict enemy movements striking, with deadly accuracy and dodging attacks by inches.

所有的神族都有一定的魔法能力,狂热者把自己全部的精力都放在了如何战斗上。狂热者聚集力量到自己的前臂,使其产生完全由魔法构成的刀刃,这就是他们的主要武器。狂热者还会运用他们有限的预知能力判断敌人的移动和攻击,从而给予致命的精确的近距离攻击。

Some Zealots have even developed the ability to turn their body into pure energy for a few microseconds. This allows them to move at lightning fast speeds and strike suddenly against an enemy that thinks they are out of range.

一些狂热者已经具备一种能暂时把自己变成纯能量状态的能力。这使得他们能够让敌人误认为还在射程以外,同时以光速移动到其身前予以攻击。

In recent times the zerg invasion of the protoss homeworld of Aiur forced its evacuation to the distant dark templar world of Shakuras. The Templar caste as a whole, and the zealots in particular, seethe with shame at this dishonor. Many and loud are the voices raised demanding a return to Aiur, cradle of the protoss civilization. The zealots have thrown themselves into an even more rigorous program of training in preparation for the glorious day when their services will be called upon once more.

现在,虫族入侵了神族的老家Aiur,致使他们撤退到遥远的黑暗圣堂开辟的shakuras星球。所有的圣堂武士和部分的狂热者,把这视为耻辱。他们渴望重返老家Aiur,恢复神族的文明,因此狂热者投入到了更加严格的训练当中,为重新获得荣誉的那天孕育能量。

 

Immortal(不朽战士)

武器:twin phase disruptors(双管定相破坏枪)
角色:远程火力支持

before the loss of Aiur, veteran protoss warriors who had been crippled in battle could volunteer to continue their service by being transplanted into dragoon exoskeletons. Now, the dragoons of the past are all but gone. The sacred shrine that was dedicated to the creation of the dragoons was infested by the zerg and lost along with the protoss homeworld itself.

在神族老家Aiur失守之前,残疾但富有经验的神族勇士通过加入机器骨骼改装成龙骑继续为军队服务,但是现在龙骑的时代已经过去了,用来改装龙骑的神庙甚至整个神族基地Aiur已经成为虫族的滋生地。

The remaining dragoons have become the immortals, refitted with twin phase disruptors and hardened energy shields that can shrug off the most powerful weapon strikes - though at the cost of leaving them more vulnerable to the pinprick attacks of lesser foes. The heavily armed and shielded immortals give critical fire support to the ferocious legions of zealots by eliminating enemy artillery and ranged attackers, allowing the zealots to close in and complete their work of destruction.

保留下来的龙骑被改装成immortals(不朽战士),不朽战士装配了两个定相破坏枪和更加坚固的能量盔甲,这种能量盔甲可以降低高能武器的攻击(比如坦克的攻击),但是这种能量盔甲容易被小型武器击穿。这种装备了重型武器和盔甲的不朽战士在战场上用来消灭敌人的重型和和远程武器给zealot(狂热者)以强大的火力支持,使狂热者更容易接近敌人并摧毁敌人。

But the loss of every immortal is keenly felt. These ancient warriors are a dying breed pledged to give their all in the end times of their race. They stand on the front lines of the final war, sacrificing themselves to buy their race a few more days or hours. Soon none will remain.

但是每牺牲一个不朽战士都是巨大的损失,为了保护神族最后的时间,原先龙骑勇士的血脉已经断了。他们在最后的战役中挡在最前面,牺牲自己给种族换来希望,很快一切都会消失。
