As the Empire of the Rising Sun's ambitious plans of dominating the Western hemisphere started to crumble, the nation's leading weapons manufacturers scrambled to come up with contingency plans that would appeal to their shareholders. Thus did the imminent defeat of the Empire directly bring about the merger of two of the top Imperial corporations, Tenzai Robotics and Shirada Shipworks (now reformed under the banner of Ten-Shi Zaibatsu). Desperate times caused these former competitors to set aside their differences and execute on a long-dormant proposal made possible only by a harmonious union and their respective expertise. The result is a machine that even the Empire of the Rising Sun's best scientific and military minds previously thought impossible. No, the Giga-Fortress cannot bring back to life the Empire of the Rising Sun's late Emperor Yoshiro. However, this semi-sentient computer-controlled weapons platform is programmed to exact terrible revenge on the Empire's now-numerous enemies... even should the day come when no Imperial men or women are left to continue to fight.

随着升阳帝国统治西半球的野望崩溃瓦解，这个国家的头部军火商争先恐后地制定出了能够吸引其股东的应急计划。帝国即将面临的失败局面则直接导致了两家顶级帝国企业的合并——天西机器人公司与白田船业合并为「天使财阀」，并进行了改革重组。绝望的时代让这两位前竞争对手搁置了分歧，开始执行一项沉睡已久的、只有他们合作，发挥各自特长才能完成的计划。其成果是一台即使是升阳帝国最优秀的科学家与军事家都曾认为是不可能的机器。虽然超级要塞不能让升阳帝国已故的芳朗天皇起死回生，但这台半智能计算机控制的武器平台已经被赋予了对帝国众多强敌实施报复的使命……即使是终有一天帝国不再有任何活人能够战斗。

The idea of a weapon that can continue fighting self-reliantly even without human operators is suggestive of the depths of desperation the Empire's fiercest loyalists fell to. Nevertheless, the Giga-Fortress apparently is real, judging by a growing number of independently-verified accounts coming from Imperial defectors, Soviet prisoners of war, and Allied servicemen. Assuming these accounts can be taken at face value, the Giga-Fortress must be far and away the most expensive and largest fighting craft ever developed by the Empire of the Rising Sun (or any nation, for that matter). Even an Allied aircraft carrier or a Soviet Kirov airship would be dwarfed by the sheer size of this thing, yet almost none of the innards of the Giga-Fortress are crew-quarters. Instead, the Giga-Fortress is said to be lined with an untold number of servers, communications arrays, and self-diagnostic systems, many of which are purposely redundant. A bridge, adjacent bunks, and mess hall were the only quarters built for a human crew, and even these amenities were mostly for formality's sake. No expense was spared in the production of this craft. Instead the Giga-Fortress must have been built under the nihilistic impression that no crew would be available to steer the thing along its deadly course.

这种没有人类操作员也能继续自持的武器设计思想，似乎在暗示着帝国那些最凶狠的死硬派已经陷入了绝望的深渊。然而，从越来越多的帝国叛逃者、苏联战俘与盟军军人的可靠叙述来看，超级要塞似乎是真实存在的。如果这些供词内容是真的，那么超级要塞肯定是升阳帝国开发的最昂贵、也是最庞大的战舰，即使是盟军的航母或者苏联的基洛夫飞艇，在其庞大的规模面前也是相形见绌的。然而，超级要塞内部的船员空间少得可怜，相反，据说里面布满了无数的服务器、通信阵列和自我诊断系统，甚至里面有大量冗余设计。它的舰桥、相邻的卧室与一间食堂是仅剩的为人类船员建造的舱室，甚至这些设施也大多是流于形式。这座武器的建造可是下了不少血本的，实际上，超级要塞肯定是在没有船员操纵它的虚无主义的思想下建造的。

Originally thought to be two completely separate platforms, the Giga-Fortress is now believed to be a single entity capable of assuming two completely different forms: a massive sea-fortress, bristling with more than half a dozen heavy-duty cannons and multiple independently-tracking missile systems; and a sky-fortress, built to resemble a monstrous face, armed with something called the "God's Breath device" located in the "mouth" of the thing. The shotgun wedding of Tenzai Robotics and Shirada Shipworks made all this possible, in what may one day considered be among the most outlandish acts of the post-war Empire. As well, it may be remembered as the pinnacle of military robotics. Shirada's advanced weapons, composite armor, and floating fortress nautical locomotors were seamlessly merged with Tenzai's most sophisticated artificial intelligence (A.I.) and dual-stage variable form systems in the construction of this weapon. Those directly responsible are anonymous, likely deceased; some Allied officials have even speculated that the computer-driven Giga-Fortress is the cynical by-product of war criminals refusing accountability for their actions.

超级要塞最初被认为有两种独立的平台，而现在它们被认为是同一个实体，只是能够变换为两种完全不同的模式——一种是巨大的海上堡垒，配备了六门以上的重型火炮与多个独立运作的导弹系统；另一种是空中堡垒，长得就像一张巨大的人脸，在它的「嘴巴」里配备了一种叫「神之鼻息装置」的东西。天西机器人公司与白田船业的这场「联姻」使得这一切成为可能。这东西在后世要么会被当做帝国干过的最古怪的事情之一，要么会被视为军用机器人的巅峰之作——白田船业的先进武器、复合装甲，以及浮岛要塞的水面航行系统与天西机器人公司最先进的人工智能和双重可变形技术完美结合在了一起。该项目的直接负责人都是匿名的，很有可能已经去世了，而一些盟军官员甚至怀疑这座计算机驱动的超级要塞是那些拒绝认罪的战犯制造出来的。

Thankfully, as yet there are no publicly documented incidents of a Giga-Fortress attack, and this may be why the machine has no known weaknesses. It is believed to have no moral inhibitions, either, at least not by those who accept that the Giga-Fortress is self-aware to whatever extent is possible for a computer-controlled machine. Its "personality", according to this camp, has been programmed with a version of Imperial military doctrine that places the success of the mission, the ultimate victory of the Empire, and the total defeat of its enemies as top priorities, in that order. But unlike a zealous Imperial warrior, the Giga-Fortress A.I. has no concept of morale, no ability to second-guess officers or to misinterpret its directives, and no need for rest. It exists, perhaps, in a childlike or even a primal state only to fight until either it ceases to operate or the millions of individuals it "thinks" are enemies have been eliminated. One can only hope that the Allies quickly disarm however many of these things finished production.

值得庆幸的是，目前为止还没有公开记录表明有任何超级要塞袭击的事件，这可能就是这台机器还没有任何已知弱点的原因。人们认为它没有什么道德上的约束，至少那些觉得超级要塞拥有自我意识的人是这么认为的。按照这些人的说法，它的「人格」已经按照帝国的军事教条进行了编程，把任务的成功、帝国的最终胜利与彻底打败敌人作为了头号目标。但与狂热的帝国武士不同，超级要塞的人工智能没有「士气」的概念，也不会质疑长官或误解其命令，更不需要休息。也许，它以一种孩童般，甚至是更原始的状态存在着，只为战斗而生，要么自我死亡，要么把它「认为」是敌人的上百万个体彻底歼灭。无论这东西有多少被造出来了，人们只能寄希望于盟军能够尽快解决它们。

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Giga-Fortress:

战场侦察已经揭示了超级要塞的以下情报：

Variable transform -- Much like several of the Empire of the Rising Sun's much smaller pilot-assisted robots, the Giga-Fortress has two completely different forms. As the sea-fortress, it is capable of defeating entire enemy armadas, shelling coastlines, or assaulting flight groups. As the sky-fortress, it can supposedly devastate anything on the ground with something called the God's Breath device. Anything underneath the sky fortress would be crushed, were the sky fortress to revert back to its naval form overhead.

多重变形——就像升阳帝国中那些更小的有人驾驶机甲那样，超级要塞有两种完全不同的模式。作为海上要塞，它能够击败整支敌方舰队，炮击沿岸，或者攻击飞行的机群。作为空中堡垒，它可以用神之鼻息装置摧毁下面的任何玩意。如果有东西在要塞从空中降落时正好待在下面的话，那肯定会被压个粉身碎骨。

Truly massive -- The Giga-Fortress dwarfs all other modern combat vehicles, including the biggest naval vessels in the Allied or Soviet armadas. Therefore it is thought to be slow and almost impervious. The thousands of redundant systems inside the thing are said to be constantly maintaining and repairing themselves.

体型庞大——超级要塞的体型让包括盟军和苏联舰队最大的海军船只在内的其他现代作战载具相形见绌。因此，它被认为是缓慢、且坚不可摧的。据说这东西内部的上千个冗余系统在不断地进行自我维护与修复。

Cost-prohibitive -- Nearly-limitless research budgets spiraled deep into the red during the development of the Giga-Fortress. According to resource estimates, there is almost no way that more than a handful of these behemoths could have been constructed.

开销不菲——在超级要塞的开发过程中，原本近乎无限的研究资金逐渐赤字，从资源上估计，这些庞然大物的建造数量也是屈指可数。

Nanocore-made -- The Giga-Fortress is far too big to be built out of the Imperial Docks facility typically used for constructing Imperial warships, so instead it is built from the very same types of Nanocore machines that unfurl into the Imperial Docks themselves. Hypothetically, the destruction of such a Nanocore would preventatively cause the destruction of the Giga-Fortress itself.

纳米组装——由于超级要塞过于庞大，它无法在用于建造常规军舰的帝国码头中制造出来，因此它是由类似于展开帝国码头本身的纳米核心机器建造而来的。而其纳米核心的破坏也将导致超级要塞的毁灭。
