电影



A harsh rocky world less than a parsec away from Tatooine, Geonosis is a ringed planet beyond the borders of the Galactic Republic. Its uninviting surface is marked by mesas and buttes, and barren stretches of parched desert hardpan. The rocks and sky are tinted in red, and the creatures that evolved on Geonosis are well equipped to survive in the harsh ecology.
带有行星环的吉奥诺西斯是一颗位于银河共和国边界外的严酷岩石星球，距离塔图因不到一个秒差距。其缺少生机的表面到处是台地、山丘和大片贫瘠炎热的沙漠硬土。这里的天空和岩石都泛着红色，在吉奥诺西斯进化的生物都有在严酷生态环境下生存的本领。

The most advanced lifeform are the Geonosians, sentient insectoids that inhabit towering spire-hives. The Geonosians maintain large factories for the production of droids and weapons. Save for attending to clients that venture to the planet to place orders, the Geonosians typically keep to themselves.
这里最高级的生命形式是吉奥诺西斯人——这种有智慧的昆虫形生物居住在高耸的尖塔巢穴内。吉奥诺西斯人经营着生产机器人和武器的大型工厂。除了接待敢于在这颗星球下定单的客户，吉奥诺西斯人通常不与外界接触。

The droid foundries and the planet's remote location made it an ideal base of operations for the Separatist movement that spread through the galaxy in the later years of the Republic. The Archduke of Geonosis, Poggle the Lesser, hosted an important meeting of the heads of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. The commerce barons in attendance pledged their mechanical military forces to Count Dooku, the charismatic leader of the Separatist movement. The Separatists were ready to wage war, but their plans were overheard by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
在共和国晚期，分离主义运动席卷银河系。机器人制造厂和吉奥诺西斯的偏远位置使这颗星球成为分离主义运动的理想军事基地。吉奥诺西斯大公——“下等人”波格尔——主持了独立星系邦联的一场重要峰会。出席会议的商业巨头都将他们的机械化军队提供给杜库伯爵——极具魅力的分离主义运动领导人。分离势力准备发动战争，但他们的计划被欧比-旺·克诺比偷听到了。

The Jedi was taken captive, though he managed to dispatch a distress call to the Jedi Council. With their forces spread throughout the galaxy in an effort to maintain the peace, the Jedi Council was only able to dispatch 200 of their ranks to Geonosis. Obi-Wan, meanwhile, was sentenced to death in a huge execution arena. He and his compatriots, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, had to face down three terrible arena creatures before the Jedi reinforcements arrived.
这位绝地虽然被俘，但还是设法向绝地委员会发出了求救信号。由于绝地委员会的力量分散在银河各地执行维和任务，因此他们只能派出200名成员前往吉奥诺西斯。与此同时，欧比-旺在巨大的行刑竞技场被判处死刑。他和他的同伴阿纳金·天行者、帕德梅·阿米达拉不得不在绝地援军感到前面对三头可怕的竞技场猛兽。

While the Jedi could easily contend with the Geonosians, they had not counted on the sheer size of the droid army laying in wait. Scores of battle droids poured into the arena, slaying many Jedi. A scant few Jedi remained before even more reinforcements arrived -- in the form of the newly created Republic clone army. With the arrival of these forces, the first battle of what was to become known as the Clone Wars began on Geonosis. The Republic military, led by the Jedi, were able to drive the Separatists into retreat.
绝地虽然能轻松对付吉奥诺西斯人，但没有料到严阵以待的机器人军队规模如此之大。大量战斗机器人涌入竞技场，杀死了很多绝地。在更多援军——即新组建的共和国克隆人军队——抵达前，仅有少数绝地幸存。这些部队到达后，克隆人战争的第一场战斗在吉奥诺西斯打响。在绝地的带领下，共和国军队击退了分离势力。

衍生宇宙



An eerie world, Geonosis is marked by spectacular yet uninviting vistas. Radiation storms occasionally blast the surface, driving lifeforms underground for protection. Dense high-altitude fog produces gloomy, night-like conditions that may last for weeks. Life on Geonosis has adapted for such circumstances, and many creatures are bioluminescent.
作为一个奇异的世界，吉奥诺西斯以壮观而缺少生机的景象为特点。辐射风暴偶尔扫过行星表面，迫使生物转入地下避难。高空的浓密尘雾会产生仿佛黑夜般的黑暗环境，这种环境可能会持续几周。吉奥诺西斯上的生物已经适应了这种环境，许多生物能发生物光。

A casual glance of the planet's desert plains would suggest the world is uninhabited, so carefully crafted is the Geonosian architecture. Immense, organic spires are actual hive-mounds built by the Geonosians, and upon closer inspection, escaping steam and exhaust vents betray its artificial nature. Geonosians cultivate a parasitic creature called a phidna that excretes raw material that Geonosian artisans mix with stone powders to form a rock paste substance.
对行星荒漠的匆匆一瞥会以为整个世界不宜居住，这是因为吉奥诺西斯人的建筑巧夺天工。巨大的有机尖塔其实是吉奥诺西斯人建造的穴居城堡。靠近观察后，溢出的蒸汽和排气口暴露了其人造的本质。吉奥诺西斯人培养一种叫菲德纳虫的寄生生物，它们的分泌物被吉奥诺西斯工匠们与石粉混合在一起，制成一种岩石粘合剂。

The rings that orbit Geonosis are a mixed blessing. Geonosians harvest their rich metallic content for raw materials used in their secretive manufacturing processes, however the asteroids themselves form a security liability. Corporate spies can hide within the ring, and asteroids falling through the atmosphere are so common that cunning pilots can exploit the laziness of Geonosian scanner operators by flying down to the surface with only the most basic of sensor stealth.
围绕吉奥诺西斯的行星环有利有弊。吉奥诺西斯人从其金属含量丰富的小行星中开采原料，用于他们的秘密制造工序，但小行星本身又成为一个安全问题。商业间谍能藏在行星环中，而且坠入大气层的小行星太频繁，以至于狡猾的飞行员能利用吉奥诺西斯扫描器操作员的松懈，依靠最基础的传感器隐形装置飞到行星表面。

幕后



Early in pre-production Geonosis was known simply as the "rock planet," a rugged world of red soil and stone, reminiscent of Mars and the desolate buttes and mesas of the American southwest. The tall, organic spires were partially inspired by the towering hives constructed by termites, which lends Geonosis an organic feel.
在前期制作阶段早期，吉奥诺西斯仅仅被称为“岩石行星”——一个由红色土壤和岩石组成的世界，类似火星以及美国西南部荒凉的山丘和台地。高大有机尖塔的灵感主要来源于白蚁筑造的高耸巢穴，它使吉奥诺西斯有一种有机物的感觉。

A variety of visual effects approaches were combined in creating Geonosis for the screen. Some areas, such as Obi-Wan's landing site, were actual sets. These were extended digitally through the use of matte paintings or miniatures. In some cases, reference photography of real world deserts formed the basis of distant backgrounds, though they underwent digital manipulation. For the Clone Wars, the backgrounds typically consisted of an immediate foreground miniature to provide detail, a mid-ground stretch of computer-generated landscape, and a distant background of actual photos, with spires and otherworldly sky added digitally.
在银幕上创造吉奥诺西斯时综合运用了多种视觉效果方法。有的地方，例如欧比-旺的着落点，是实景。通过背景彩绘和微缩模型的运用使它们得到数字化扩大。有的地方虽然经过了数字控制，但现实世界沙漠的参考照片成为远处背景的基础。拍摄克隆人战争时，背景通常由提供细节的近距离突出模型、计算机生成的中距离地形和远距离实景照片组成，尖塔和异域天空通过数字化添加。
