Escape pods are small emergency craft designed to detach from a larger vessel or launch from a planetary surface as a means of escape from a catastrophic event. As such, these pods feature a simplified design to allow for maximum ease of use. Usually, it's just a matter of pressing a control stud that initiates the launch cycle.
逃生舱是一种应急小飞船。作为一种逃离险境的手段，它被设计为能从大飞船上脱离或从行星表面起飞。因此，逃生舱以最简单的设计实现最便捷的操作。通常，开启逃生舱不过就是按一下控制钮的事。

A pod is typically oriented to allow for simple chemical or explosive-based launch. This allows the pod to be ejected in the event of complete power loss in the mother ship. A series of exploding latches hurl the pod into space.
逃生舱一般被确定为基于简单的化学品或炸藥发射。这使逃生舱在母船完全失去动力的情况下也能被弹出。一系列爆破栓会把逃生舱推入太空。

Some planets maintain a network of escape pods to flee from surface danger into the upper atmosphere. When at a lofty altitude, these pods then transmit distress signals. Some pods are used for interstellar travel, but these are rare.
有些行星建有一套逃生舱网络，以便在行星表面发生危险时逃往高空。这些逃生舱在高空会播发求救信号。有的逃生舱被用于星际旅行，但这种逃生舱很罕见。

Use of pods is usually restricted only to organic lifeforms -- not droids. As such these pods are also known as lifepods.
使用逃生舱通常仅限于有机生命形式——而不是机器人。因此逃生舱也被称为“生命舱”。

衍生宇宙



Galactic law dictates that there be enough pods on a vessel to safely evacuate all carried crew and passengers. A typical small-size pod can carry upwards of six to eight people. Larger pods are identified as lifeboats.
银河法律规定，一艘飞船必须配备足够的逃生舱以保证所有船员和乘客能安全逃离。一个典型的小型逃生舱能搭载六到八人。较大的逃生舱被称为救生艇。

Pods travel a safe distance from the vessel (usually about 5,000 meters) before broadcasting a distress signal at five-second intervals. It is a spacer felony to not investigate a discovered escape pod. If there is a planet nearby, chemical-based attitude adjusters reorient the pod toward the planet. The pod's specialized sensors perform a quick planetary life support survey, and then target an environmentally safe area for landing.
逃生舱飞离母船一段安全距离（通常约5000米）后，将每隔五秒播发一次求救信号。宇航员发现逃生舱后如果不去调查，将被判重罪。如果附近有行星，基于化学品的姿态调节器会控制逃生舱飞向它。逃生舱的专用传感器会迅速检测行星的生命维持情况，然后对准一个环境安全区域着陆。

The pod uses planetary entry ballistics to propel it in an atmosphere. The chemical rockets require very little power, and can only be used once. They are mainly used to slow descent and steer the craft to the optimum landing point. Some pods feature parachutes, repulsorlift units or flotation devices to help ease descent. Ships with multiple pods feature "podlock navigation" wherein subsequent pods follow the landing coordinates of the assigned "main pod."
逃生舱利用行星的返回弹道在大气层内推进。化学火箭几乎不需要动力，只能使用一次。它们主要被用于减小降落速度和控制逃生舱在最佳地点着陆。有些逃生舱用降落伞、反重力装置或漂浮设备帮助平稳降落。配备多个逃生舱的飞船拥有“逃生舱锁定导航”机制，在该机制下，指定的“主舱”着陆后，后续逃生舱会紧跟在其着陆坐标后。

Starship-based escape pods only have a limited amount of food and supplies. Generally, there are a week's worth of consumables for six passengers. This typically includes 74 liters of fresh water, a hunting blaster, a dozen flares, an emergency signal beacon, six breath masks, one porta-shelter, and six Uni-Environment Survival Suits. The standard eight-person pod found aboard freighters has food and oxygen supplies for two weeks. The latter escape pod costs about 1,200 credits and takes up 5 tons of displacement from a freighter's cargo capacity. Escape pods are not combat-worthy in any way.
基于星际飞船的逃生舱只有有限的食物和补给，通常只够六名乘员维持一周的时间。这一般包括74公升净水、一把爆能猎枪、一打信号弹、一个应急信号灯、六张呼吸面具、一个便携式帐蓬和六套通用环境救生服。货船上的标准八人逃生舱拥有能维持两周的食物和氧气供应。后一种逃生舱售价约1200块，占用货船货舱容积的5吨重量。逃生舱没有任何作战能力。

Near the Kachirho beaches of Kashyyyk, the Wookiees maintained a network of simple escape pods that launched from hidden recesses beneath the hillsides. Cobbled together from wrecked starships, these escape pods had simple sublight capabilities that launched them into orbital space.
在卡希克的卡彻霍湖滩附近，伍基人维持着一个能从山坡下方隐蔽处发射的简易逃生舱网络。这些逃生舱由星际飞船残骸拼凑而成，拥有简单的亚光速飞行能力，能飞入轨道空间。

幕后



The launch of the Tantive IV's escape pod in A New Hope was the first visual effect shot completed by Industrial Light & Magic. The model was quickly cobbled together, described by modelmaker Lorne Peterson as a "five-day wonder." The 18-inch model was created by joining two paper paint buckets together and covering them with laminated plastic and detailing.
在《新的希望》里，“坦蒂夫四号”的逃生舱发射是工业光魔完成的第一个视觉特效镜头。这个模型是在很短的时间内被拼凑出来的，按照模型制作师洛恩·彼得森的说法，是一个“五天的奇迹”。把两个纸质颜料桶粘合起来，在其表面覆盖层压塑料和细小部件，这个18英寸的模型就制成了。

联想起前传第三部66指令后尤达逃生，是不是就是利用这个？

EN同学呢

TCW中毒牙号在击毁共和国战舰后都会清理逃生舱，防止泄密，这个让我对逃生舱印象很深
