A commonly misunderstood and mischaracterized species, Wol Cabasshites are a unique example of a culture that has advanced to sentience without the need for technology. Their evolved brains are indeed highly intelligent, but with a life cycle so abstract and alien, their musings are often indecipherable. Indeed, studying Wol Cabasshite philosophy has long been a fashionable pastime of the intellectual elite, with longstanding debates regarding interpretation of the most famous and bizarre of Wol Cabasshite texts.
沃尔卡巴什人是一个常常被误解、被认错的种族。他们代表了一种独特的文化，即不需要技术的高智慧文化。沃尔卡巴什人的大脑其实相当发达，但他们一生却过得极其抽象和迥异，他们的思维往往很深奥。事实上，对知识界精英来说，研究沃尔卡巴什人的哲学一直都是时髦的消遣方式。为了解读那些最著名、最古怪的沃尔卡巴什文献，精英们会陷入长久的争论。

The closest known genetic relative of the very long-lived Wol Cabasshites is a small, non-sentient species of plasma leech parasite whose entire life-cycle occurs on spacecraft where they feed on plasma and other energetic power sources. Millennia of space travel have spread both the non-sentient leech and the Wol Cabasshite throughout the galaxy, far from their homeworld of Wol Cabassh.
沃尔卡巴什人很长寿。目前已知在遗传上与其亲缘关系最近的生物，是一种等离子蚂蟥寄生虫。这种小型非智慧生物终生依附在太空船上，靠等离子体和其它能源为生。几千年来，太空旅行把这种非智慧蚂蟥和沃尔卡巴什人带到了银河系各处，远离他们的母星沃尔卡巴什。

Wol Cabasshites are remarkably hardy. They can exist in both vacuum and atmosphere, having no respiratory system and a naturally pressurized interior. Wol Cabasshites can tolerate remarkable temperature extremes.
沃尔卡巴什人的生命力特别顽强。无论在真空中还是在空气里，他们都能生存，而且不需要呼吸设备和自然增压环境。沃尔卡巴什人可以适应极限温度。

With a plasma-rich diet and extraordinarily high metallic content in their blood, Wol Cabasshites exude a magnetic field controlled by certain internal muscles, including their tongues. By shaping and focusing this field, Cabasshites communicate with each other at a range of up to 25 meters.
由于沃尔卡巴什人的饮食中富含等离子体，血液中的金属含量又很高，因此在他们身体周围会形成一个磁场，某些内肌，比如他们的舌头，可以对这个磁场加以控制。沃尔卡巴什人最多可以在方圆25米内，通过塑造磁场和关注磁场变化来进行互相间的交流。

Their language uses phonemic pulses of energy with syntactic contours in the field. Magnetic singing is an important part of Wol Cabasshite cultures. Gifted Wol Cabasshites can use magnetic fields to communicate directly with the neurons of other sentients, though this often requires direct contact. The sometimes unsettling sensation of direct neuron communication with a Wol Cabasshite has spread to rumors that the species can take control of a subject's brain, though that is not the case.
磁场就是他们的语言，能量脉冲代表音位，磁感线决定语法意义。以磁波唱歌是沃尔卡巴什文化不可或缺的一部分。某些悟性高的沃尔卡巴什人能利用磁场直接与其他智慧生物的神经元交流，但这往往要求两者能直接接触。与沃尔卡巴什人进行神经元的直接交流有时会引起恐慌，因此有传言说这个种族能够控制别人的大脑，这是以讹传讹。

The Wol Cabasshite ability to manipulate magnetic fields has resulted in the development of devices by other cultures to assist in communication. Wol Cabasshites can operate devices attuned to their magnetic singing for the purposes of locomotion, communication and even defense, though most don't bother. Most Wol Cabasshites are content to simply sit and contemplate the nature of the universe... and eat.
其他种族基于沃尔卡巴什人的磁场控制能力开发出了相应的对话辅助设备。沃尔卡巴什人可以用磁波歌声来操作某些设备，从而达到移动、通讯，甚至防身的目的，但大部分沃尔卡巴什人对此无动于衷。他们只想坐在那里，思考宇宙的本质……以及享受美食。

Physiologically, Wol Cabasshites are mostly stomach; they even have two brains, one for digestive tasks and one for cognition. They eat constantly, extracting nutrients and metals from nearly any substance they touch. There are no known substances that are toxic to Wol Cabasshites, though they are susceptible to Brainworm Rot Type A, an airborne virus that affects their cognitive functions. Given the bizarre nature of Wol Cabasshite thought, diagnosis is very difficult.
从生理上看，沃尔卡巴什人体内主要是胃；他们甚至有两个大脑，一个控制消化系统，一个用来认知。他们无时无刻不在进食，从几乎所有能接触到的物质中摄取营养和金属。对沃尔卡巴什人而言，没有什么已知的东西是不能吃的，但他们易受甲型脑包虫病毒的感染，这是一种以空气传播的病毒，会影响他们的认知功能。由于沃尔卡巴什人的想法极其古怪，因此诊断这种病症非常困难。

Although Wol Cabasshites reproduce asexually by vomiting out their stomach linings (which become pupal Cabasshite), adults may exchange genetic material during mutual tongue grooming. This results in organisms exhibiting isolated genetic properties of other individuals.
沃尔卡巴什人是一个无性繁殖的种族。他们依靠吐出胃壁（它将变成沃尔卡巴什蛹）繁殖下一代。尽管如此，成年的沃尔卡巴什人在互相舔拭舌头时还是有可能交换遗传物质。这样，有些个体才会表现出与众不同的遗传特性。
