The Men of Gold are a mysterious sub-sect of Humanity.

According to ancient sources, the Men of Gold appeared sometime during the Age of Terra, joining the Emperor as he watched and nurtured humanity. To watch and learn from Mankind, the Golden Race spreads across the face of Old Earth, multiplying and establishing Order and Civilization on the anarchy of Nature. Though physically and emotionally superior, the Golden Race eventually created the Men of Stone for the purpose of colonizing the Galaxy.[2] In time, the Men of Stone supplanted the Men of Gold and by M21 their influence had waned.[1] It is ultimately unknown what happened to the Men of Gold.

金人是人類的一個神秘分支。

根據古代資料，金人出現在泰拉時代的某個時候，與帝皇一起觀賞并培育人類。為了觀察和學習人類，金人在古老的地球上繁衍生息，在自然的無政府狀態(tài)下建立秩序和文明（馬拉？）。盡管金人在身體和思維上都比其他種族優(yōu)越，但他們最終還是創(chuàng)造了以殖民銀河系為目的的石人。隨著時間的推移，石人取代了金人，到M21，他們的影響力已經減弱。金人究竟出了什么事，現在還不得而知。
