Ringed by numerous moons, the remote sanctuary of Utapau is a planet pitted with enormous sinkholes. Its windswept surface is dry and desert-like, but deep in the porous crust, at the bottom of the sinkhole are pools of life-giving water. Many of the sinkholes on one of the planet's small continents are lined with intricate cities that stretch deep into caves and crevices beneath the planet's surface.
作为遥远的避难所，尤塔帕是一颗被许多卫星环绕的行星，表面布满巨大的天坑。其狂风大作的表面干燥如沙漠，但在多孔渗水的地壳深处，每个天坑底部都有一潭潭可支持生命的水。这颗行星有不少小型大陆。在其中一块大陆上，很多天坑内都排列着复杂的城市。这些城市延伸进地表以下的洞穴和岩缝深处。

The world served as a base-of-operations for the ever-mobile Separatist Council, the assembled trade and commerce barons in command of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The Confederacy had conquered the native Utapauns, who peacefully submitted to their rule.
指挥独立星系邦联的贸易和商业巨头组成了分离主义委员会。这个不断转移的委员会把尤塔帕当成了一个军事行动基地。邦联征服当地的尤塔帕人，对方平静地屈服于邦联的统治。

Following a daring yet failed attempted to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine from Coruscant, General Grievous fled to Utapau to lie low. A converted Trade Federation coreship served as a command center, perched on the tenth level of one of the largest sinkhole cities on the planet. Here, thousands of droids -- including battle droids, super battle droids, vulture droids, octuptarra droids and crab droids -- stood ready to defend the outpost.
企图从科洛桑绑架帕尔帕廷议长的大膽行动失败后，格里弗斯将军逃到尤塔帕隐蔽起来。一艘贸易联盟核心船被改作指挥中心，停泊在尤塔帕最大天坑城市之一的第十层。在这里，数以千计的机器人——包括战斗机器人、超级战斗机器人、秃鹫机器人、八目兽机器人和螃蟹机器人——随时准备保卫这个基地。

A diplomatic packet from the Chairman of the Utapau system was intercepted by one of the Republic's elite clone intelligence units. Though the Separatist Council was safely shuttled away from Utapau, General Grievous was confirmed to be on the planet. The Jedi Council dispatched General Obi-Wan Kenobi and his clone forces to Utapau in the hopes of capturing Grievous and finally ending the Clone Wars.
尤塔帕星系主席发出的一份外交信息包被一个精锐的共和国克隆人情报单位截获。虽然分离主义委员会已被安全送出尤塔帕，但格里弗斯将军被确认依然留在这颗行星上。绝地委员会派遣欧比-旺·克诺比将军及其克隆人部队前往尤塔帕，以期俘虏格里弗斯将军，最终结束克隆人战争。

Kenobi arrived on Utapau, making contact with Port Administrator Tion Medon. Medon quietly informed the Jedi of Grievous' whereabouts, and Kenobi voyaged to the tenth level on the back on a loyal native lizard named Boga. There, clone forces engaged the Separatists, and the underground Utapaun resistance joined the fight.
克诺比到达尤塔帕后，联系了港口管理员蒂翁·梅登。梅登悄悄告诉这位绝地格里弗斯的行踪。克诺比骑上当地忠心耿耿的蜥蜴博加，来到第十层。在那里，克隆人部队大战分离势力，尤塔帕地下抵抗组织也加入了战斗。

Though Grievous was killed, sweeping political changes on Coruscant rippled outwards to Utapau. Chancellor Palpatine declared the Jedi enemies of the state, and the clone troopers attacked Kenobi. They then occupied Utapau, rounding up the local resistance fighters.
虽然格里弗斯被消灭了，但科洛桑的政治巨变波及到了尤塔帕。帕尔帕廷议长宣布绝地为国家公敌。克隆人士兵向克诺比开火。克隆人随后占领尤塔帕，围捕当地的抵抗战士。

衍生宇宙



Located in the Tarabba sector, Utapau is an old world that fostered a primitive interstellar civilization prior to the formation of the Republic, almost sixty millennia before modern times. The planet had steadfastly avoided galactic prominence during all that time, steadfastly avoiding politics and war with a stance of quiet neutrality. Utapau only entered into notable offworld trade agreements within the last few decades, when offworld water-mining companies had discovered that the waters of the planet were rich in dissolved trace elements said to foster health and longevity.
位于塔拉巴星区的尤塔帕是一个古老的世界，哺育了一个在共和国形成前就出现的原始星际文明，距今大约有六万年。在这漫长的时间里，这颗行星一直避免在银河系出名，也一直以平静中立的姿态避免政治纷争和战争。尤塔帕仅仅在最近几十年才加入著名的外星球贸易协定，当时外星球的水资源开采公司发现这颗行星的水富含溶解状态的微量元素，据说这些微量元素能延年益寿。

Despite appearances, Utapau was not a true desert planet. An underground ocean circled the entire planet, pulled to and fro by the tidal forces of nine moons. The movement of this sunken ocean eroded away at the porous crust, causing frequent groundquakes that collapsed sections into plunging sinkholes.
尤塔帕并不像表面看上去那样是颗沙漠行星。一个地下海洋在整颗行星循环，受九颗卫星的潮汐力作用涨落。这个地下海洋的运动侵蚀着多孔的地壳，引发频繁的地震，导致局部地区崩塌成骤降的天坑。

It was in these subterranean levels that the native Utai carved an underground society, while on the surface plains, the taller Pau'ans developed. As climactic changes forced the Pau'ans to follow the water and animals below ground, and avoid the ever-increasing hyperwinds that swept the surface, the Pau'ans and Utai made first contact and eventually established a peaceful and mutually beneficial society.
本地的尤塔人正是在这些地下层开辟了一个地下社会，而高个子的帕人则在地表平原发展。随着气候变化迫使帕人跟随水源和动物来到地下，逃避地表不断增强的狂风，帕人和尤塔人发生了第一次接触，最终建立了一个和平互利的社会。

幕后



The name "Utapau" dates back to some of the earliest story explorations undertaken by George Lucas as he was crafting the initial Star Wars drafts. In the very first draft of Star Wars, the fourth moon of Utapau served as a refuge for a Jedi fugitive, Kane Starkiller, and his two sons. For a time, the planet name described Tatooine, and later was a first draft name for the planet Naboo during the development of the prequel trilogy.
“尤塔帕”这个名字可以追溯到一些乔治·卢卡斯最早创作的故事设想，当时他正在撰写《星球大战》最初的剧本草稿。在《星球大战》第一版剧本草稿中，尤塔帕的第四颗卫星是绝地逃犯凯恩·弑星者及其两个儿子的避难所。尤塔帕这颗行星一度被描绘成塔图因的样子，后来在创作前传三部曲时，尤塔帕又成为行星纳布在第一版剧本草稿里的名字。

Utapau was realized on screen through a variety of techniques, though huge miniatures formed the basis of much of the environment. An enormous 16-foot long sinkhole environment lined with tiny structures was used for the wide establishing shots of Pau City, while larger scale close up sections of landing pans and crevice-lining cityscapes were also used. These were digitally stitched together to form expansive panoramas as well as augmented by digital matte paintings and populated by live action and digital performers.
尤塔帕是通过多种技术在银幕上实现的，但巨大的微缩模型成为其大部分环境的基础。一个16英尺长、排列着微小建筑的庞大天坑环境被用于帕城的广角远景，而着陆场和布满岩缝的城市场景被用于大比例局部特写镜头。这些镜头被数字合成为宽广的全景，得到数字背景彩绘的补充，在其中活动的则是真人和数字演员。
