In the distant future, a small group of human exiles have been doomed to
fight for survival on the edge of the galaxy. Through military strength,
espionage, and deceit, a unified Terran government has maintained an uneasy
peace, but as resources and fuel run short the Confederate nations find
themselves looking towards the rich worlds of their alien neighbors, the
enigmatic Protoss. To further complicate matters, it seems that a previously
unknown species-- the Zerg-- have entered Protoss space and are destroying
everything in their path. The time for war has come.
The Terrans, Protoss, and Zerg will stop at nothing to insure the survival of
their species, and you'll need to develop whole new strategies to master each
side's unique abilities. Keep checking these pages for detailed descriptions of
each side.
Terrans are masters of mobility and versatility. Using converted industrial
vehicles and mobile bases, they move from world to world, pillaging as they go.
Their military consists of both "resocialized" criminals and elite
soldiers.
The Protoss possess powerful psionic abilties, and in combat they use these
powers to form weapons and shields composed of pure energy. They also use highly
advanced robotic drones to make up for their lack of numbers.
The Zerg actually encompase a multitude of bio-engineered creatures, designed
for maximum killing efficiency. Their hives are also living creatures which
slowly infest any area the Zerg inhabit with "the Creep", a thick
blanket of organic matter.
