Post by Marine »

New Story is here:

Campaign name: Wrath of the Zerg

Races Playable: Zerg

Races with Canon: Protoss, Zerg, Terran

Planets: Kalast, Reaz, Zan, Orpherus

Forces: Fringe Independencies, UFL (United Fringe Legions), Zerg Swarm, Malgaz's Scourge, Corrupted Protoss Armada.

Timeline: A year after the Brood War...

Story: A story of how even the greatest of creatures... can be betrayed

It has been one year since the Zerg defeated all known powers at the station Omega over Char, the Queen of Blades Kerrigan returned back to Char where she felt a looming darkness over the endless void of space, knowing her victory was a hollow one, and something sinister will soon awaken.

Kerrigan, wishing to bulk her massive army of Zerg sent many three of the most ruthless and cunning Zerg Cerebrates that had their reflection in their broods, sent these three to far away planets to assimilate the planets and creatures to the Swarm. Gaax a mighty Cerebrate chose the planet known as Kalast, it was small and perfect for his medium-size brood, yet unknowing that the UFL had a large platform orbiting the planet called Arlon II watching there moves, after contacting General Rilof on their capital Laxxes, there move was... annihilate this threat, the UFL forces of Arlon II and the troops coming from Laxxes (short distance) landed on the outskirts on Gaax's hive cluster on Kalast, and immediately began to lay siege on the hive cluster.

Gaax even though himself is immortal to there attack, his forces were still not the size to combat and win against the supremacy of the United Legions' might, Klorgoth - the strongest of the three - sent Malgaz with his Basilisk brood, though smaller than Gaax's brood was more stronger and elite even before landing engaged the Terran forces.

Malgaz though was later ordered by Klorgoth to attack and destroy Arlon II, and make sure that none retreated and all could feel on the platform could feel the terrible darkness that is the Zerg Swarm.

Malgaz removed his brood from Kalast and as Klorgoth engaged the fighters, Malgaz’s forces broke through their lines and landed upon the platform like a sheet of white snow on the crisp cut grass. Malgaz’s brood led a butcher assault, none were safe and none were left alive, as they tried to retreat Klorgoth’s brood and Malgaz’s brood burned their transports just like any other vessel.

Malgaz telling Klorgoth that a victory was achieved; the  Cerebrates traveled back to Klorgoth’s hive at Zan and prepared their next moves. Though unknowing at the time that the UFL had retaken the Arlon II platform and engaged with a larger, stronger army against Gaax. As Klorgoth engaged them once again, as Malgaz and his commander Yavrok prepared to attack, a dark voice entered his mind, telling him to meet him at the darkest moon farthest reaches of the Koprulu Sector, known as Reaz.

As Malgaz instead with his brood suspecting a trap for a Dark Templar, he was ever vigilant, to his luck when he arrived he met a massive Hive Cluster and Zerg openly greeting this behemoth Cerebrate. He met another Cerebrate as well, a dark and sinister Cerebrate known as Blagzsz who’s leader is the currently unknown, tyrant Cerebrate Daggoth. As the Cerebrate spoke to Malgaz of how the Queen of Blades plans for the Swarm would bring an end to all of the Swarm, and only the remainders of all that is loyal to their deceased Overmind, Malgaz was shown visions of destruction and soon a terrible demise to the Swarm.

Malgaz once was a being of the benevolent Overmind has betrayed his comrades to server under the ones who wish to restore the Swarm to what it once was, of course now the ones he served alongside shall do all they can, to stop this rogue betrayer...

Terran Heroes

Capt. Vincent Hoolahan (Marine)
Image
Affiliation: United Fringe Legions
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Personality: Crazy, Arrogant (sort of pain in the ass), loyal

Capt. Vincent Hoolahan is a crazy bad ass mother f***er sort of in the UFL army, he gets yelled at from General Rilof for in his suit he has in his own personal CD player with the loudest heavy metal, it helps him soothe while fighting, but he can rarely hear the orders given to him and General Rilof doesn’t like hearing it, he hates Heavy Metal music, but he gets the job done. His partner is an expert UFL Wraith Pilot Captain Kyle Kerna.

Capt. Kyle Kerna (Wraith)
Image
Affiliation: United Fringe Legions
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Personality: Loyal, Smart, and Strong

Capt. Kyle Kerna is among Capt. Vince's best friend, his greatest one. They have been through with one another since high school but are two different parts of the UFL Army/Fleet, usually Vince is ground troop recon/assault/infiltration/rescue while Kyle is in charge of Assault/Shuttle Transport/Escort, rarely are they stuck in the same mission, they are both situated on the assault on Arlon II and both retreat to Zan, but Kyle retreats before Malgaz assaults Arlon II.

General Rilof (Goliath)
Image
Affiliation: United Fringe Legions
Age: 51
Sex: Male
Personality: Loyal, Smart, Strong, Head-Strong, Ambitioned

General Rilof, General of the UFL, he is a great soldier of the UFL Army; he leads his own commando force known as the United Death Squadron. For its brute strength, agility, it is Alpha Squadron of the UFL. He is always gets in arguments with Captain Vince, one for his music and not understanding orders, and then disobeying them due to his fact for not 'listening' to them. He leads the troops to rescue mission on Kalast and then retreats quickly with Zerg led by Gaax hunting him down, he crashed on Zan the Hive of Magrex, but is killed and his troops are slaughtered, which is the end of the United Death Squadron.

Commander Rykof "Quick Trigger" Kollofer (Siege Tank)
Image
Affiliation: Fringe Independencies
Age: 32
Sex: Male
Personality: Calm, Quiet, Deadly, Head-Strong

Commander Rykof is the first of the sole leader of the Fringe Independencies, he is semi-gay (not perverted) but does like men (I wanted to add this twist) he sometimes has fool around with one or so, which can make an "unsettlement" one though fought back in one of his "meetings" and had to be executed, he though keeps business and pleasure separate in the line of duty, he is killed in his first canon on the platform The Dark Sun (for its black plating) I in the fight against the UFL when Gaax and Magrex and Malgaz make it one of many of there battlefields - before the climatic battle against Malgaz and the Swarm - the UFL led by Captain Vince and Kyle barely escapes but Commander Rykof and his troops are left in the dust, which ends the Fringe Independencies for all time...

---- Screen shots (NEW) ones shall arrive ----

WinMPQ has been much more effective than MPQ2k and was released much later than MPQ2k.

Icekoldkilla and I are working on this campaign, so this campaign is back in progress.
And by the way for the mod and campaign their will be custom sounds but not in briefings due to the fact that their are Blizzard characters talking and we cannot get all of their voices, but the characters shall have different voices, so you wont here "Raynor here.".
