The most heavily armed and armored unit of stormtroopers in the Empire are the Zero-G Assault Troopers, known commonly as spacetroopers. These elite soldiers wear large powered suits of armor that give them the firepower of a light tank. Though standard stormtrooper armor does provide limited protection against hard vacuum, only these soldiers have been extensively trained for combat operations in space.
武器最多、盔甲最厚的帝国冲锋队兵种是失重突击部队，通常被称为太空部队。这些精锐士兵身穿大型动力盔甲，拥有轻型坦克般的火力。虽然标准冲锋队盔甲也提供有限的绝对真空保护，但只有这些士兵受过广泛的太空作战训练。

Spacetroopers are deadly commandos of the highest order, second only to the Imperial Royal Guard. Their primary missions involve the capturing of enemy vessels intact and the pacifying of rebellious crews. Spacetroopers are typically deployed in units of 40 aboard assault shuttles. This platoon of soldiers can overtake capital ships with their determined assaults.
太空部队是最高级部队中的致命突击队，仅次于帝国禁卫军。他们的主要任务包括完整俘获敌船和镇压船员反抗。太空部队一般以40人为单位，搭乘突击穿梭机行动。这个排的士兵能以毫不妥协的强攻制服主力舰。

Spacetrooper armor functions as a personal spacecraft and attack vehicle. A spacetrooper wears a standard stormtrooper shell, and then plugs into a larger set of power armor that stands over two meters tall, and is twice as wide across as an unarmored man. For this bulky appearance, spacetroopers are sometimes called "walking tanks."
太空部队的盔甲如同单人太空船和进攻座驾。一名太空士兵先身穿标准冲锋队外壳，再嵌入一套大型动力盔甲。这套盔甲站高达两米，比不穿盔甲的人宽一倍的。由于外型庞大，太空部队有时被称为“行走的坦克”。

Powerful weaponry lines the powersuit armor. Paired grenade launchers are shoulder-mounted and magazine-fed, and are capable of launching concussion, stun and gas projectiles. On the right gauntlet is a powerful blaster cannon, while the left gauntlet features a miniature proton torpedo hurler. The gauntlet features laser cutters or rotating sleeves, allowing the spacetrooper to penetrate armored hulls.
强大的武器排列在动力盔甲上。一对榴弹发射器被安装在肩上，由弹仓供弹，能发射震荡弹、晕眩弹和毒气弹。右手是一门强大的爆能炮，左手有一个迷你质子鱼雷投掷器。金属手套上还有激光切割器或旋转套管，使太空士兵能切开船壳装甲。

Spacetrooper armor is too cumbersome to operate within planetary gravities. A variety of models of spacetrooper armor have been developed over the years, with the latest generation being far more sleek and maneuverable than earlier iterations.
太空部队的盔甲太笨重，无法在行星重力下使用。几年来，各种太空部队的盔甲型号被开发出来，其中最新一代远比早期版本光亮灵活。

幕后



The spacetrooper was first developed as a formidable enemy for players of the original Star Wars roleplaying game. It was first described in The Star Wars Sourcebook in 1987, and was illustrated in the first edition of the Imperial Sourcebook in 1989. This large version became the basis of a "level boss" enemy in the Super Star Wars game for the Super Nintendo.
太空部队最早作为《星球大战》桌面角色扮演游戏玩家的强大敌人被设计出来。1987年的《〈星球大战〉资料集》最早描述太空部队，1989年的《帝国资料集》第一版绘制了太空部队的形象。在超级任天堂的《超级星球大战》游戏里，这个大号版本成为“关卡头目”敌人的基础。

In 1991, Timothy Zahn used the spacetrooper as a threat in his Thrawn Trilogy of novels. Supplemental sourcebooks based on this series introduced a slightly different design of spacetrooper armor. When Heir to the Empire was adapted as a comic series by Dark Horse Comics, the artists illustrated a brand new version of spacetrooper armor that became the basis of the expanded universe action figure produced.
1991年，蒂莫西·扎恩在他的《索龙三部曲》小说里把太空部队写成一个威胁。基于这个系列的配套资料集引入了太空部队盔甲的另一个造型，与之前的造型稍有不同。当黑马漫画把《帝国传承》改编为系列漫画时，画家绘制了全新的太空部队盔甲版本，它成为生产衍生宇宙活动人偶的基础。
