Announcing my newest Starcraft project!

[Whiplash!]

Prologue:

The time is 2 years after the events of Brood War. There is an uneasy truce between the Terran Dominion and the Protoss survivors on Shakuras.  Kerrigan’s broods remain mostly dormant on Char and Aiur, with only the occasional scout leaving their atmosphere. On the backwater planet of  Pergos V there is a Dark Templar settlement that is small in size, but holds fierce warriors that constantly train for their next confrontation with the Zerg. Unknown to the Dark Templar, Pergos V contains many caverns that lead into the core of the planet, which hold a near limitless supply of minerals and vesvene gas.

Shakuras is being rebuilt. The entire Protoss fleet, now commanded by Patriarch Artanis, plans to revive the once glorious civilization and end the petty feuds between the two Templar societies. Although it is slow work, the two castes are slowly accepting each other’s ways and working towards a better future for all Protoss.

On the fiery chasms of Char, Kerrigan stands as the only known leader of the Zerg. Daggoth and any remaining Cerebrates and Zerg under his command have been assumed dead or long gone from the Korplu Sector. Kerrigan is finding most of her planets running out of usable resources for the Zerg, so she sends one of her most cunning Cerebrates, Cerebrate Thor, to find new mining areas for the Zerg to possess.

Back on Pergos V, the Dark Archon Lord Master Jekyll instructs the finest of Dark Templar in the ways of advanced stealth combat, espionage, and sabotage. Praetor Scryer is busy training mortally wounded Dark Templar on the different techniques they can perform while in the Stalker exoskeleton. Both Protoss are the best in their training, and both are survivors from the battle of the Overmind. Unfortunately the peace that the Protoss have enjoyed in the past two years is about to end, and an eventual conflict will erupt between Jekyll’s Elite Warriors and Cerebrate Thor’s Zerg Swarm. This is… Starcraft: Core!

kudos to manditz!!!!
whoever says that CC is dead can go jump off a building!

[Marine]

... who has said that Chris?
Ya I heard this story from him on AIM.
Very good idea on this campaign, cant wait to play.

[Falchion]

Interesting, but I got a few questions?

- Are you sure you want to keep the Protoss and the Dominion as allies?  According to the SC history, Mengsk has a more aggressive stance about allying himself with alien powers.

- How you'll manage to install the Stalker's GRP in your mod?  You're gonna make it in scratch?

- The name for the Protoss Dark Archon is a bit too Terranish?  You're thinking in changing it?

[Thalraxal]

Sounds cool!

I sort of agree with Falchion though.  I'm going to be wondering when Lord Master Jekyll's evil alter-ego, Hyde, will appear.

Dominion won't really be included in the campaign, I'm sure I'll have some Terran involvement somewhere but currently its Toss-Zerg related. At this stage in the starcraft story the 2 factions are trying to rebuild their fleets, mesk is more focused on that and projects like the Thor than attacking the protoss.

The stalker grp will be made from scratch by Aqotrooper, hes done loads of sc graphics in the past and I've seen a preview, it looks great so far.

I don't intend to change the name of the Dark Archon unless a better one appears. I don't like those big advanced wierd names, if I can find something good and not too complicated I may use it.

Heh, Mesk  Although Mesk does like the Thor.

Got some screenshots for you all! From the first map. Still heavy WIP, but just a little sample.

(Imitaiting Turmalis, from "The Antioch Chronicles") I see your time has been well spent.

Actually I've never played The Antioch Chronicles so everything in here is from my head

[Milldawg]

I think he meant that HE was imitating Turmalis by saying "I see your time has been well spent" because that's something Turmalis (presumedly) said.  Also LOL DOCKS

but seriously those docks are awesome

[CowardI]

This looks great!

Hope you get done before Starcraft II comes out.
