The Saga Continues...
故事在继续……
For over three decades, the Star Wars universe has been expanding. New drama, new adventures, and new revelations have played out in the pages of bestselling Star Wars novels.
三十年来，星战宇宙在持续扩增。新的剧情，新的历险，以及新的出乎意料的真相在畅销的星战小说的书页间上演。
Now, a new nine-book series is set to begin. It takes place almost 40 years after the end of Return of the Jedi. The classic characters of the Star Wars saga are now living legends, starring alongside a new generation of heroes in their endless struggle to bring peace to a beleaguered galaxy.
现在，一部新的九部曲正要上演，它大约发生在《绝地归来》之后四十年。星战小说的经典人物以及他们的事迹已经渐渐远去，留给新一辈人们以他们永无止息的奋斗为饱经战火蹂躏的银河换来和平与安宁。
This is the start of The Fate of the Jedi. This brief guide serves as an introduction to this bold new era of Star Wars storytelling for those who have never read a Star Wars novel before or just need a refresher on the current standing of the characters and worlds of the galaxy far, far away….
这是《绝地的命运》系列小说的开始部分。这一个简短的指南，作为星战系列这一惊险新时期的介绍提供给那些从未阅读过星战小说的人，或者那些需要对当前遥远的星战银河的人物和场景做一简短回顾的人们。

The State of the Galaxy
银河的现状
The Clone Wars are distant history. The Galactic Civil War between the Empire and the Rebel Alliance is a fading memory. In the four decades that followed the deaths of Darth Vader and the evil Emperor, the galaxy has known only a few scant stretches of peaceful times.
克隆人战争已成为久远的历史，帝国和义军同盟间的银河内战也已成了渐被淡忘的记忆。达斯维达和那邪恶帝国已经逝去了四十年之久，星战银河正在享受难得的和平时光。
The Rebel Alliance transformed from a revolutionary military force to a legitimate government—The New Republic—in a long process as it liberated worlds from the iron grip of the Empire. The Senate was restored. Luke Skywalker rebuilt the Jedi Order.
义军同盟由一支革命武装力量转变为合法政府——新共和，但继续从帝国残余势力手中解放被奴役的星球的进程缓慢。参议院恢复了，卢克·天行者重建了绝地武士团。
Then, the Yuuzhan Vong came. A violent species of alien invaders, they destroyed entire worlds in their quest to conquer the galaxy. The New Republic teamed with the shrinking Imperial Remnant to counter this threat, and although the alien menace was defeated, the galactic government was just one of many casualties of this brutal war.
不久，遇战疯来了。作为凶残的异族入侵者，它们摧毁一切阻挡它们征服全银河的星球。新共和联合帝国残部共同应对威胁，尽管异族入侵最终被击退，银河政府也承受了这惨绝人寰的战争带来的巨大伤亡。
From the fragments of the New Republic emerged the Galactic Alliance, but its attempt to enforce order on a war-weary galaxy proved dificult. Isolationists and independent-minded cultures like the Corellians did not bow down to Alliance rule. When the Galactic Alliance came under the draconian rule of a fallen Jedi, Jacen Solo, who adopted the Sith guise of Darth Caedus, this tinderbox exploded into the second Galactic Civil War. Violence erupted between the Alliance and a Confederation of worlds wishing independence. The Jedi Order split from the Alliance, going rogue to take down Caedus, slain by his twin sister, Jaina, the Sword of the Jedi.
新共和改组为银河同盟，但它试图在一个厌战的银河推行强制政策的行为被证明是难以施行的。像柯瑞利安一样一向有隔离主义和独立倾向的文明拒绝向同盟低头。当同盟落入一个堕落的绝地，自命为达斯•凯杜斯的杰森•索洛的残暴统治时，火药桶被点燃了，第二次银河内战爆发。同盟和由倾向独立的星球组成的邦联之间爆发了惨烈的战争。绝地武士团从同盟中分裂出来，直到凯杜斯被他的孪生姐姐，绝地武士杰娜•索洛击毙。

By the end of this latest conflict, the galactic players were once again rearranged. The Galactic Alliance is still in power, but a new Chief of State has been installed: a former Imperial, Natasi Daala. The Galactic Empire’s influence has grown, as beings everywhere see and appreciate its relative stability and order compared to the shaky years of Alliance rule.
冲突结束时，银河的领导层重新洗牌。银河同盟依然掌权，但新的领导人已经产生，那就是前帝国官员娜塔茜·达拉。无论何处，银河帝国的影响在增加，人们都在赞赏它相对于银河同盟制度的多年动乱而言的稳定。
But Daala has never had great love for the Jedi, and their willingness to abandon the Galactic Alliance has given some reason to doubt their reliability or even loyalty. How exactly the Jedi will it comfortably into this new order remains to be seen….
但达拉从来不对绝地存有好感，而且绝地们曾经对同盟的放弃使得其可靠性甚至忠诚度受到怀疑。如何让绝地顺从地融入新的秩序还有待观察……

LUKE SKYWALKER
卢克·天行者
Farmboy. Pilot. Rebel. Jedi. Grand Master. Father.
农夫，起义军飞行员，绝地宗师，父亲

Luke Skywalker has come a long way from the starry-eyed farmboy whose biggest concern was picking up power convertors from Tosche Station. After helping defeat the Emperor alongside his redeemed father, Skywalker carried out Yoda’s dying command to “pass on what he had learned.”
卢克·天行者已经从一个天真爱幻想，最关心的是在动力站组装能量转换器的农场男孩变化了很多，也经历了很多。在协力击败帝国以及他的最终被救赎的父亲之后，他遵从了犹达的遗嘱，“将他所学的传承下去”。
At first, Luke’s role was very similar to the one he had during the Rebellion. He continued serving as a pilot and military leader for the New Republic, but he gradually withdrew from this active service to pursue his studies in the Force. His travels across the galaxy led him to uncover fragments of Jedi knowledge that the Emperor and his agents had not wholly eradicated. Luke, though, had to improvise in his teaching methods, adopting practices that would have been considered forbidden during the time of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. For example, there was no age limitation placed on prospective students, and the idea of romantic attachment was not taboo among this new generation of Jedi.
最初，卢克的职责与他在起义军的非常相似。他继续为新共和担任飞行员和军事领导人，但他渐渐从这些繁忙的政府事务中退出以从事他在原力中的研究。他游历银河各处来发掘帝国及其代理人没有完全摧毁的绝地知识的碎片。尽管如此，卢克仍不得不临时拼凑他的教学方法，采用欧比万·克诺比和阿纳金·天行者时期被认为应当禁止的训练方式，例如在新一代绝地中对可能的学徒没有年龄限制，浪漫交往的想法不再是禁忌。
For many years, the idea of settling down and starting a family seemed impossible to Luke, who was much more focused on larger galactic matters. But fate has a way of laying unexpected paths before a Skywalker. He fell in love with and married Mara Jade, a former Imperial agent who was also powerful in the Force. Together, they had a son, Ben, during a time of great conflict in the galaxy—the invasion of the violent Yuuzhan Vong.
很多年以来，定居下来建立一个家庭的想法对卢克来说是可望不可及得，他得将精力投注到银河重大事务中。但命运总有一种方法给一个天行者铺设一条意想不到的道路。他爱上并且娶了玛拉·杰德，一个有很强原力感应的前帝国特工。在战火遍布银河的时候他们有了一个儿子，本，也就是遇战疯入侵之时。
The Yuuzhan Vong War tested the Jedi Order, and ultimately forced Luke to adopt the mantle of Grand Master of the Jedi and reinstate the Jedi Council. The new Jedi Order found difficulty in fitting into the structure of the Galactic Alliance, a situation made worse when the Alliance began adopting some draconian methods of enforcing loyalty among its member worlds. Jacen Solo, Luke’s nephew and former student, grew powerful in the Force and—like his grandfather Anakin Skywalker—turned to the dark side in a Faustian bid to bring order and protection to the galaxy and his loved ones. He emerged as Darth Caedus, a Sith Lord, and brought more war and heartbreak to the extended Skywalker family, including murdering Mara Jade Skywalker. Though tragic, the death of Mara Jade brought Luke and Ben closer than they had ever been before. In The Fate of the Jedi series, father and son will depart on an important quest together that will test that bond and their formidable Jedi skills.
遇战疯战争考验了绝地武士团，也使卢克接受了绝地宗师的衣钵，恢复了绝地委员会的职权。新绝地教团发现融入银河同盟是如此困难，当同盟采取残暴措施保证成员星球的忠诚时，局势更糟了。杰森·索洛，卢克的外甥和从前的学生，拥有强大的原力并且，像他的外祖父一样幻想为了给全银河与他所爱的人带来秩序与保护，向黑暗面出卖了自己的灵魂。他以西斯尊主达斯·凯杜斯的身份示人，给天行者家族带来了更多的争斗与伤心，包括谋害了玛拉·杰德·天行者。尽管悲惨，玛拉·杰德的离世使卢克和本的关系前所未有的紧密。在《绝地的命运》系列小说中，这对父子将一同出发，开始一次重要的探求，在这之中他们的联系和令人钦佩的绝地技巧将受到检验。

HAN SOLO
汉·索洛
No one could have predicted that a Corellian smuggler would someday become a First Husband of the New Republic and the father of a new generation of Jedi. But these unlikely events came to be. As Han would say, “Never tell me the odds.”
没人会想到一个科雷利亚走私贩有朝一日会成为新共和的第一丈夫，他的孩子会成为新一代绝地。但这个不可能的事发生了，就像汉常说的一样：“闭嘴，别提赔率。”
After the defeat of the Empire, Han was branded as “respectable” by the rogues and pirates he had once done business with. Solo’s role as a general in the Rebel Alliance meant that he became a key player in the New Republic’s formative years. His numerous underworld contacts helped the New Republic in its continued battle with the shrinking Imperial presence in the galaxy. Han eventually married Princess Leia, and together they had three children—the twins, Jacen and Jaina, and their younger brother, Anakin.
在击败帝国后，汉被曾经与他做过生意的流氓和海盗当做“体面人”。索洛在反抗联盟中担任过将军意味着他在新共和初创的几年里是政府主要成员。他众多的地下关系网在接下来与持续削弱的帝国残余的战斗中为新共和提供大量帮助。汉最终娶了莱娅公主，之后有了三个孩子——龙凤胎杰森和杰娜，以及小儿子安纳金。
Han’s most recognizable traits were passed on to his children —they all exhibited a mix of his sense of humor, his mechanical aptitude, and his amazing piloting skills. But the three Solo children were known foremost as some of the most capable Jedi of their generation. It was a world that was alien to Solo—he could not touch the Force and couldn’t experience this particular connection the children shared with their mother. He was nonetheless often dragged into the affairs of the Jedi, in much the same way that he ended up pulled into Leia’s political involvements.
汉最令人印象深刻的特点都遗传给了孩子们——他们都兼具索洛的幽默感、机械天赋和惊人的飞行技能。但让他的三个孩子广为人知的最主要原因是它们是同辈人中最强大的绝地。那是一个对索洛来说完全陌生的领域——他无法感触原力，也无法体验孩子们和他们母亲分享的联系。尽管如此，他经常牵扯到绝地事务中，同样的，他最终牵扯到莱娅的政治事务中。
The Yuuzhan Vong War took a heavy toll on the Solo family. One of the earliest casualties of the invasion was Solo’s oldest friend, his beloved Wookiee co-pilot Chewbacca. Chewie’s death hit Han hard, and for a time, he turned his back on his family to exorcise his demons in some of the shadiest corners of the galaxy. 遇战疯战争给索洛家族带来了沉重的损失。这次入侵最早的阵亡名单中就有索洛的老朋友，他可敬的伍基族副驾驶丘巴卡。丘仔的死沉重的打击了索罗，以至于有一段时间，他离开家庭，到银河系最阴暗的角落驱赶内心的魔鬼。
Han smartly returned to the love and security that Leia and his family offered him; he would need it, for the next tragedy was the death of his 16-year-old son, Anakin Solo.
汉最终安全的返回到莱娅和家庭提供给他的温馨和安全之中，他需要这些，因为灾难接踵而至，他16岁的儿子，阿纳金·索罗死了。

LEIA ORGANA SOLO
莱娅•奥加纳•索洛
Since her teen years, Princess Leia has been trying to make the galaxy a better place. Once a Senator from Alderaan, she later served as a leader in the Rebel Alliance. When she discovered she was Luke Skywalker’s sister, she found she had to make a choice as to what her role in the changing galaxy would be. Would she pick up the lightsaber?
从十几岁开始，莱娅公主一直试图将银河建设成一个更加美好的地方。最初她是奥德朗星的议员，不过不久之后她就成为了一名义军同盟领导人。当她发现她是卢克•天行者的妹妹时，她面临一个两难的选择，她到底以什么样的角色来改变银河以使之更美好。她会拿起光剑吗？
The needs of politics won out. Leia became one of the foremost leaders of the New Republic, eventually serving as Chief of State. Another important role she played was that of mother—she married Han Solo, and together they had three children. The twins, Jacen and Jaina Solo, and their younger brother, Anakin, all proved strong in the Force. Leia practiced her skills as a Jedi with her brother, but a galaxy of distractions kept her from reaching her full potential.
政治活动的需要占了上风。莱娅成为新共和的主要领导人，最终担任国家元首。她的另一个重要的职责是当好一名母亲——她嫁给了汉•索洛并有了三个孩子。龙凤胎杰森和杰娜•索洛，以及他们的弟弟阿纳金都有很强的原力感应。莱娅从她哥哥那里学到了绝地技巧，但是全银河的烦心事妨碍了她发挥她的全部潜能。
It was the turmoil of the Yuuzhan Vong War and its fallout that caused Leia to return to her Jedi studies with renewed focus. The tragic deaths of Chewbacca and her youngest son, Anakin, greatly tried the bonds of the Solo family, but they emerged stronger from that terrible crucible. Leia would rarely leave Han’s side, and she became the Millennium Falcon’s co-pilot, capably filling the role left void by the loss of the mighty Wookiee.
遇战疯战争的混乱和它的后续影响使莱娅有机会以新的心境重返她的绝地研究。丘巴卡和她的小儿子阿纳金的悲惨死去沉重地考验了索洛家庭成员之间的联系，但严酷的考验仅使得他们间的联系更加紧密。莱娅见很少离开汉的左右，她成为千年隼的副驾驶，干练地填补了那威武的伍基离去后留下空缺。
Once more, Leia had to let go of one her children, when it became apparent that Jacen had succumbed to the dark side. It was one of Leia’s longest held and deepest fears—that one of her children might one day follow a dark path similar to that of her father, Darth Vader. That it fell to Jaina to kill Jacen was all the more appalling, but Jaina did her duty as a Jedi Knight.
更加不幸的是，当杰森已经屈服于黑暗面成了不争的事实，莱娅不得不亲历她的一个孩子的离去。那是莱娅长久以来最深的恐惧——也许有一天她的一个孩子会跟从她的父亲达斯•维德的黑暗之路。更令人震惊的是杰娜受命去杀死杰森，好在她最终完成了作为绝地武士的使命。
After a lifetime of struggle to keep the galaxy from falling apart, Han and Leia have no real grasp of the concept of retirement. By all rights, they could retreat to a remote and peaceful world and live out a quiet life together, but they are once again thrust to the center of galactic conflict. A new wrinkle this time is that now, decades after their last child reached adulthood, they are once again playing the role of parents. Han and Leia have adopted the daughter that Jacen Solo left behind, and are raising her as their own.
在经历防止银河分裂的一系列斗争后，汉和莱娅仍没有把握好退休的概念。无论怎么说，他们原本可以隐居到一个偏远僻静的星球上一同享受宁静的生活，但他们又一次冲入了银河系斗争的中心。好在生活并不只充满乏味的争斗，这一时期新的难题是，在索洛夫妇最小的孩子成年几十年后，他们又扮演起了父母亲的角色。汉和莱娅接纳了杰森•索洛留下的女儿，正在亲自抚养她长大。


LANDO CALRISSIAN
兰多·卡瑞森
The consummate gambler and lady’s man, Calrissian is always looking for angles and opportunity. Though he stepped up to a larger calling by serving as a general in the massive space battle that saw the destruction of the second Death Star and the deaths of Darth Vader and the Emperor, Calrissian quickly returned to his entrepreneurial ways after the war. In the four decades since, he has started many businesses and made and lost a few fortunes along the way. Always looking for a challenge, he tackled the biggest one when he decided to find a wife.
作为完美的赌徒以及好色之徒，卡瑞森一直在寻找有利条件和机会。尽管后来他因在见证了第二死星毁灭以及达斯·维德和皇帝的死亡的宏大外空间战役中担任将军而声名鹊起，卡瑞森战后很快回到了他的企业家身份。在那之后的四十年里，他从事了各种各样的生意，赚过大钱，也曾赔的血本无归。尽管他一直寻求挑战，他开始着手最大的一个挑战，当他决定找一个妻子的时候。
After a lengthy search for a possible partner compatible in both business and romance, he discovered Tendra Risant. She was a wealthy businesswoman, and together they founded several mining ventures and other profitable enterprises. They are the co-founders of Tendrandro Arms, a weapons-development firm that was a key supplier during the Yuuzhan Vong War.   
他需要一个在情感和事业上都能共处的伴侣，在经过长久的找寻后，他遇到了Tendra Risant。她是一个富有的女商人，在一起他们创立了许多采矿公司和其他合适的企业。他们是名为Tendrandro Arms的武器研发公司的合伙人，而这个公司在遇战疯战争时期成为重要军火供应商。
Lando is now the father of a young boy, Lando Calrissian, Jr., whom he nicknamed “Chance.” Lando and Tendra currently own and operate the spice mines of Kessel and remain close friends of the Solo family.
兰多现在是一个名为小兰多•卡瑞森的小男孩的父亲了，他把自己的儿子戏称为“机会”。兰多和Tendra现在拥有并运营着Kessel的香料矿，并和索洛家保持着亲密的友谊。
