One of the most enormous Republic military vehicles introduced during the Clone Wars, the turbo tank is a ten-wheeled titan bristling with weapons and covered in thick armor. With a blocky design and seemingly simplistic engineering, the turbo tank epitomizes unstoppable brute force tactics favored by the clone troopers. Carried and deployed by Republic attack cruisers, the turbo tanks roll through any opposition, crushing obstacles in its path. Its varied laser turrets and missile ports can fire in all directions. The tank has two cockpits -- one at the front and one at the rear -- operated by tandem crews, allowing it to roll forward or backwards without the need to turn.
涡轮坦克是克隆人战争期间共和国军队引进的最大交通工具之一。它是一辆有十个轮子的巨型车，武器林立，装甲厚重。涡轮坦克有紧凑的设计和看似简单的制造工艺。它以不可阻挡的强大攻击力成为克隆人部队在战术上偏好使用的武器。涡轮坦克由共和国攻击巡洋舰运载和布署，能冲向敌阵，碾碎途中一切障碍。其携带的多种激光炮塔和导弹发射口能向任何方向射击。涡轮坦克有两个驾驶舱——一个在前一个在后——由两组乘员控制，这样不必转弯就可以前进或后退。

衍生宇宙



Built by Kuat Drive Yards and not it secretive subsidiary Rothana Heavy Engineering, the turbo tank was an experiment of sorts by the Republic in the hopes of better distributing military resources to its scattered worlds. As the Clone Wars quickly spread across the galaxy, KDY spearheaded the program of developing the vehicle with little government supervision, and used its distribution network to deliver the vehicle to allied planetary governments. This allowed the Republic to better equip and defend distant worlds from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Naturally, there were some exploitable gaps in the distribution chain that led to turbo tanks falling into the hands of the enemy and criminal elements.
涡轮坦克的制造商是夸特动力船坞，而不是其秘密的子公司罗萨纳重型工程公司。共和国希望能在其分散的疆土内更有效地分配军事资源，而涡轮坦克就是为此而进行的诸多尝试之一。随着克隆人战争的炮火迅速席卷银河系，夸特动力船坞率先开始这种战车的研发。这项工程几乎不受政府监管。其成果通过公司自己的供货网直接交付给结盟星球的政府。这使共和国能更好地武装保卫遥远的世界，以对抗独立星系邦联。当然，这样的交付渠道存在一些可利用的漏洞，使得一些涡轮坦克落入敌对势力和犯罪组织的手中。

Affectionately nicknamed the "rolling slab" for its cumbersome, hulking profile, the HAVw A6 heavy assault vehicle is more commonly known as a Juggernaut. On ground, it can reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour on even surfaces.
由于其庞大、笨重的外形，HAVw A6重型突击车被亲切地称为“扁钢坯”。不过，它更常见的称谓是“主宰者”。这种战车在平坦地形上的速度可达到每小时160多千米。

The 10-wheel propulsion system may seem primitive, but it does have its advantages. The direct ground contact protects the Juggernaut from electromagnetic attacks and shield discharges. Each wheel consists of three independently spinning segments that lets the Juggernaut cover most types of inhospitable terrain. Huge bump flexors provide the turbo tank with impressive suspension over uneven ground, but the lack of traction and independent drive units can leave the Juggernaut stranded if it does not have enough momentum to overcome unstable and shifting terrain types.
10轮驱动系统看似落后，但有独到的优势。直接接触地面可使“主宰者”免受电磁攻击和护盾流失。每个车轮由三个独立旋转的轮圈组成，使得“主宰者”能应付大多数不宜行驶的地形。巨大的碰撞伸缩装置保证了涡轮坦克在崎岖地形上的绝佳制动性能，然而，由于没有牵引力和独立传动装置，在面对不稳定和松软地形时，如果没有足够的动量，“主宰者”将束手无策。

Though it has a tight turn radius, the Juggernaut is agonizingly slow to turn, which is why it was designed with twin cockpits. The biggest drawback to the Juggernaut is its difficult control systems. As both cockpits can control the steering systems, pilots in either station need to coordinate to keep the wheels from locking into contradictory positions.
虽然“主宰者”的转弯半径不大，但其转弯速度却难以令人满意，这就是为它设计双驾驶舱的原因。这样，复杂的操控系统成为“主宰者”最大的缺点。由于前后驾驶舱都能够控制转向系统，所以两边的驾驶员必须协调一致，避免车轮被锁死在相反的方向上。

First-generation Juggernauts require a crew of 12, excluding gunners, though automation retrofitted into later models reduced the number of crew to just two -- one for each cockpit. The cavernous interior can fit anywhere from 50 to 300 clone troopers, depending on cabin configuration and vehicle function.
第一代“主宰者”需要12名乘员，这还不包括炮手，但随着后续型号的自动化改进，这个数字减少到仅剩2——前后两名驾驶员。车体内部房间很多，各处总共可装载50到300名克隆人士兵，具体数目取决于车内布置和任务性质。

From the Juggernaut's back extends a tall retractable sensor mast, in which sits a lone spotter and sensor operator. This mast provides a 360-degree field of view, feeding vital battlefield data to the tank commanders. Unfortunately, the mast is also extremely visible, and a favored target of enemy forces.
“主宰者”的后部竖立着一根可收放的传感天线杆，里面坐着一名观测员。这根天线杆能提供360度视野，为坦克车长传回重要的战场信息。很不幸，过于暴露的天线杆也是敌军炮火的好靶子。

After the Clone Wars, sleeker more versatile ground assault vehicles were introduced into the armored ranks of the Imperial Army. The Juggernaut was phased out, and saw action primarily in Outer Rim campaigns. Later generation AT-AT walkers incorporated some designs elements from the older turbo tanks.
克隆人战争结束后，更精致、更通用的地面突击交通工具被引入帝国陆军的装甲部队。“主宰者”被逐渐淘汰，仅用于外环的军事行动。新一代的AT-AT步行机从老式的涡轮坦克上吸纳了一些设计元素。

幕后



The look of the turbo tank was first developed during the making of The Empire Strikes Back. Early story concepts for the Battle of Hoth had the Imperials attack not with walkers, but with tanks. Joe Johnston concept sketches included a ten-wheeled behemoth bristling with weapons and sporting a thin crow's nest at the very top.
涡轮坦克的外观最早是在制作《帝国反击战》时被设计的。在关于霍斯战役的早期故事概念中，帝国军的攻击部队没有用步行机，而是用坦克。乔·约翰斯顿的概念草图中包含了一个有十个轮子的庞然大物，它枪炮林立，在顶部有细小的桅杆瞭望台。

This design was abandoned, but it was resurrected almost a decade later by West End Games. At the time the sole publisher of Expanded Universe lore, the roleplaying game company added a wealth of ground assault vehicles in 1989's Imperial Sourcebook. One such vehicle was described as the HAVw A5 Juggernaut, and was based on Johnston's sketch. Due to its inclusion in this book, the tank would appear elsewhere in the Expanded Universe, such as guides, novels and videogames before its eventual debut in a Star Wars movie.
这个设计后来被废弃了，但在几乎十年后被西末游戏公司重新推出。那时，作为衍生宇宙资料的独家出版商，这家桌面角色扮演游戏公司为1989年的《帝国资料集》添加了大量地面突击交通工具。其中一种新交通工具被描述为HAVw A5“主宰者”，其基础就是约翰斯顿的草图。随着在这本书中亮相，这种坦克之后便开始出现在衍生宇宙的其它领域，例如手册、小说和电子游戏，直至最终在《星球大战》系列电影的最后一部中登场。

George Lucas revisited unused concepts from the original trilogy when seeking to bridge the designs of the new and older films. The tank design was one of them -- renamed the turbo tank. As seen in the film, the turbo tank is much larger, better armed, and cosmetically different from the Juggernaut seen in the spin-off materials. To accommodate these differences, the Revenge of the Sith turbo tank is actually an HAVw A6 model, while the other ones previously seen are smaller HAVw A5s.
在寻求联系新旧影片形象设计的途径时，乔治·卢卡斯重新利用了正传三部曲留下的弃用概念图。这种坦克的设计就是其中之一——它被重命名为涡轮坦克。跟之前外传材料中的“主宰者”形象相比，出现在电影里的涡轮坦克大得多，武器更精良，涂装也不同。为了解释这些差别，《西斯的复仇》中的涡轮坦克实际被认定为HAVw A6型号，而之前见到的那些则是较小的HAVw A5。
