More than one careless spacefarer has parted ways with a finger for daring to compare one to a rat. Basically, just don’t point out that they resemble lowly pests. Definitely don’t point out that their English name was derived from the word ‘rodent’. It remains a sore spot centuries on.”</i> | | <blockquote><i>“除非你想找架打，否则别把罗登尼亚人称作老鼠，也要小心别说他们‘可爱’。不止一个粗心的太空旅人因为胆敢把他们比作耗子而丢了根手指。说到底，就是别指出他们像卑微的害虫。绝对别提他们的英文名源自‘啮齿动物’这个词。几个世纪过去，这仍是他们的痛点。”</i> |

| Small and short-furred, rodenians bodies share many visual cues with the rodents of earth. They have large, dish-shaped ears with a small amount of mobility, allowing for superb hearing. Just below, their faces bear short, mouse-like muzzles that lack the oversized teeth one might expect. Their incisors are merely mildly oversized. Their hands and feet have claws extending from their tips for climbing. The legs themselves are plantigrade in structure, though rodenians tend to walk with an upraised heel, owing to slight variations in tendon length and bone structure. A tapered, prehensile tail provides near flawless counterbalance, as well as an additional limb for tool use.
| | 罗登尼亚人体型小巧、毛短，身体在许多视觉特征上与地球的啮齿动物相似。他们有碟形大耳，能动性有限，听力极佳。耳朵下方，他们的面孔带着短小的鼠状吻部，却没有人们可能预想的大板牙。他们的门牙只是略微偏大。手脚指尖伸出爪子，用于攀爬。双腿本身为跖行结构，不过罗登尼亚人走路时往往脚跟抬起，这是因为肌腱长度和骨骼结构有细微差异。一条渐细的卷握尾提供了近乎完美的平衡，同时也能充当使用工具时的额外肢体。 |

| | === 繁殖 === |
| === Reproduction ===
| |
| <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| Rodenians method of reproduction is highly unusual and, to many minds in the greater UGC, perverted. The females’ wombs are located in their breasts rather than their abdomen. Stranger still, those same wombs are accessed for breeding via secondary channels recessed deep in the ear. They do not lubricate during arousal. Instead, the flesh is lined with a friction-denying structure, similar to the nonstick coatings employed in cooking vessels. (Non rodenians have reported them to feel strange but pleasant.) Those passages route through the back of the skull, merge together, then travel down the neck and into the torso to split off into the twin uteruses.
| | 罗登尼亚人的繁殖方式极不寻常，在更大的 UGC 里许多人都觉得下流。雌性的子宫位于乳房内而非腹部。更奇怪的是，这些子宫通过深深内嵌于耳中的次级通道进入以完成授精。她们兴奋时不会润滑。取而代之的是，组织内壁覆有抗摩擦结构，类似炊具上的不粘涂层。（非罗登尼亚人报告说，那感觉奇怪但愉悦。）这些通道穿过颅骨后部，汇合后沿颈部下行进入躯干，再分岔进入双子宫。 |
| </div>
| |
|
| |
|
| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 巧妙的是，当压力作用于生殖组织时，一层薄膜会封住耳道入口，防止听力受损，并封隔任何漏液。不过这种适应是多余的，因为孔道本身的位置就决定了任何液体都会自然流入“耳阴”，罗登尼亚人敏锐的听觉因此始终不受阻碍。 |
| Cleverly, a membrane seals the aural entrances as pressure is applied to the reproductive tissues, preventing hearing damage and sealing out any stray fluids. This adaptation is redundant, however, for the holes themselves are positioned so that any drainage naturally flows into ‘ear-ginas,’ allowing for the rodenian’s keen hearing to remain unobstructed."
| |
| </div>
| |
|
| |
|
| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 授精由较为传统的雄性完成，因为尽管他们也有退化的耳穴，身体却长着更典型的生殖器配置用于受孕：双腿之间一根阴茎，由两颗形状大小类似高尔夫球的睾丸支撑。相对体型而言硕大的生殖腺赋予了他们惊人的性耐力——这很有必要，因为每名罗登尼亚雄性要对应两名各有两个子宫的雌性。 |
| Insemination is handled by the more traditional males, for while they too have vestigial ear-cunts, their bodies have produced a more typical arrangement of genitalia for impregnation: one phallus between the legs, backed up by two testes, shaped and sized similarly to golf balls. The largeness of their gonads relative to their body size affords them impressive sexual endurance - something they need since there are two females with two wombs each for every rodenian male.
| |
| </div>
| |
|
| |
|
| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 因此，罗登尼亚人以三人行交配——一名雄性终生与两名雌性相伴——也就不足为奇了。交配极为频繁，可怜又过度劳累的雄性通常每天至少两次，然而生育率却相当低。雌性大约每一年左右才排卵一次，卵子的膜也比地球人的厚。科学家们确信，这种变化是 UGC 接触前他们自行促成的，是一项颇有远见的对策，旨在防止潜在的人口过剩。 |
| It’s no surprise then that rodenians mate in threes, with one male joining two females for life. Intercourse happens often, typically at least twice a day for the poor, overworked male, yet fertility rates are quite low. Females only ovulate every year or so, and their eggs have a thicker membrane than a terran’s. Scientists seem convinced that such a change was self-inflicted before UGC contact, a forward-thinking move to counter potential overpopulation.
| |
| </div>
| |
|
| |
|
| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 一旦受精，雌性的另一个子宫便开始排卵，接二连三地排出卵子，直到母体怀上一对未出生的双胞胎。幼体在她体内缓慢生长，以将食物压力降到最低，但四五个月后，卵子大到妨碍母体行动，分娩便可开始。就在这时，她通过乳头将卵排出。第一次可能相当痛苦，因为残留的膜必须撕裂，但每一次后续的产卵通常都被视为比上一次更愉悦。一些年长的罗登尼亚人甚至乐在其中。 |
| Once inseminated, the female’s other womb will begin ovulating, throwing one egg after another out until the mother carries a set of unborn twins. The children grow slowly within her to minimize food stress, but after four to five months, the eggs are large enough to impede the mother’s movement, and birth can begin. It is at this point that she lays them - through her nipples. The first time can be quite painful, as residual membranes must tear, but each successive laying is typically viewed as more pleasant than the last. Some older rodenians even delight in it.
| |
| </div>
| |
|
| |
|
| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 母体恢复得很快，弹性组织在几分钟——甚至几秒钟——内便合拢。空出的子宫会萎缩，在随后几天内把多余物质转化为富含营养的乳霜，母体随后将其挤到吸附性的卵上。这并非产出健康后代所必需，但母亲若是花时间给卵做奶浴，后代平均会高出 2 到 3 英寸。只有在所有这些二次孵化完成后，罗登尼亚幼体才会破壳而出，一边发出细小的吱吱声、用尖锐的初生齿撕开壳，一边挣扎着爬出来。 |
| The mother’s body recovers quickly, her elastic flesh snapping closed in a matter of minutes if not seconds. The vacant womb will shrink, converting excess mass into a nutrient-rich cream over the coming days which the mother will then milk onto her adsorbent egg. This is not necessary for the production of healthy offspring, but those whose mothers took the time to milk-bathe their eggs are 2-3 inches taller on average. Only after all this secondary incubation will a rodenian child emerge, clawing free from his or her shell with quiet squeaks and a sharp birth-tooth.

| |
|
| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 罗登尼亚儿童发育迅速，13 到 14 岁即成熟，尽管雌性要到二十多岁后期才开始排卵——这又是一个被怀疑是刻意设计而非偶然的特性。 |
| Rodenian children mature rapidly, over 13-14 years, though females’ bodies do not begin to ovulate until late in their twenties, another quirk suspected to be by design rather than happenstance.

| |
| <blockquote> | | <blockquote> |
| Rodenian culture has been shaped by a single gland - what has come to be known as the hedonary gland. It grows in the rear of the skull, near the passages used for breeding, and when pressured, it releases a potent chemical cocktail that induces trance-like behavior. The resulting hyper-suggestibility leaves the recipient of nearly any sexual contact utterly at the mental mercy of their mates, an aspect slightly mitigated by their tendency to form romantic entanglements in trios.
| | 罗登尼亚文化由单一腺体塑造——即所谓的享乐腺。它长在颅骨后部，靠近用于繁殖的通道，受压时会释放出强效化学混合液，诱发恍惚般的行为。由此产生的极度易受暗示性，使几乎任何性接触的接受者在心理上完全受制于伴侣，这一特性因他们倾向结成三人浪漫关系而稍有缓解。 |

| |
|
| <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
| | 无一例外，三名性伴侣都会发现彼此变了，完全痴迷于对方，小摩擦被抚平为毫不动摇的忠诚。冲突已成为过去。罗登尼亚人的关系是加固钛构成的三脚架。内部没有任何弱点。他们的语言里没有“离婚”一词，也不需要。这个概念对他们而言完全陌生。当一位伴侣死去，另外两人要么悲伤而死，要么结合得更加牢固。 |
| Invariably, all three sexual partners find themselves changed, utterly infatuated with each other, their minor irritants smoothed away into unwavering loyalty. Conflict is a thing of the past. Rodenian relationships are tripods of reinforced titanium. There is no weakness within them. Their language has no word for divorce, nor does it need one. The concept is utterly foreign. When one partner dies, the other two either die of grief or bond together all the stronger.

| | 正因如此，他们自然变得排外。外星人无法像他们那样去爱，无法在性交中交出整个自我。他们的耳朵和享乐腺是太容易被利用的弱点，尤其是被狡猾的奴隶贩子。因此，许多罗登尼亚人建立了戒备森严的聚居地，限制与外界的接触。那些敢于闯荡更广阔 UGC 的，通常都会给耳朵做某种防护——特制耳机最常见。 |
| For this reason, they naturally became xenophobic. Aliens cannot come to love the way they do, cannot submit their very being during sexual congress. Their ears and their hedonary glands are a vulnerability all too easy to exploit, particularly for clever slavers. For this reason, many rodenians have formed closely guarded enclaves, limiting their contact with the outside. Those who do venture into the wider UGC typically do so with some sort of protection for their ears - specially designed headphones are the most common.

| Corvus is a planet dominated by forests on its one, large continent, and that is where the Rodenians developed. They had attained access to advanced levels of biosciences before first contact was made, three rushes ago, though they lagged behind in many other disciplines. No atmospheric craft had yet been devised. Self-drawing crossbows were their main form of self-defense. Slug-throwers had not even been invented. Power was siphoned from the roots of certain types of trees, a naturally occurring form of solar power.
| | 科沃斯是一颗由单块大陆上的森林主宰的星球，罗登尼亚人正是在那里发展起来的。在三次拓荒之前，即首次接触达成前，他们已经掌握了高级生物科学，尽管其他许多学科仍然落后。当时还没造出大气层飞行器。自射弩是他们主要的自卫手段。抛射枪甚至尚未发明。能源取自某些树种的根部，是一种天然存在的太阳能形式。 |

| At first, they welcomed outsiders with open arms... until more and more of their people vanished in the night, taken with a whimper and wiggle. The UGC did little to protect them from the dangers of the wider galaxy - pirates, slavers, and criminals - so the rodenians took matters into their own hands. They traded away their expertise in gene-modification for guns - big ones, and threatened to shoot down any ship who landed without their express consent. The crackling reports of their cannons made good on those threats.

| The mouse-people of Corvus had learned a painful lesson about their own vulnerability, one they would not soon forget. With their home relatively secure from unwanted intervention, they allowed themselves to establish colonies on other worlds, but only after arming their colonists with the finest guns and the toughest helmets they could buy. Their caution has limited their influence on the galactic scale, but it has kept them safe for the most part.
