The Mar Sara Missions
Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 9:33 am
Greetings to everyone. I imagine that most of you will have visited the topic Fall and Rise. I think I take some time to complete the campaign. However, if you do not you bored waiting, I would like to introduce one of the best and better worked campaigns of one of my friends, Drake Clawfang. With his behalf, I have the pleasure to introduce it: The Mar Sara Missions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: December 2499. Mar Sara is under attack by the Zerg. The Confederacy is refusing to take action, and colonial Marshall James Raynor and his friend, the Colonial Magistrate, are forced to ally with the Sons of Korhal for evacuation...
Meanwhile, halfway across the planet, the people of the colony Metros make their own plans for safety. Unable to contact the other colonies and isolated with no hope, the colonists take shelter. Led by Marshall Frank Stone and his friend and adviser, Special Operative Quincy James, the colonists sequester themselves in an underground bunker, waiting for the Confederacy to save them. Unaware of the events taking place in the sector outside, Stone, Quincy, and the colony wait silently...
Until 2 months later, when an unknown Terran Battlecruiser enters their sensor range...
Part 1 of 3, The Mar Sara Missions tell a whole new story. Taking place alongside the original events of StarCraft and Brood War, this three-part epic campaign introduces new heroes and villains, a whole new plot, and foreshadows events yet to come. As Frank Stone and Quincy James emerge into a world where Mar Sara is a dead rock and the people and government they knew a memory, they must carve out a new niche for themselves in a galaxy where almost no one knows they even exist, and just as many don't want them to...
9 Missions follows an all new storyline in the StarCraft universe.
The hard-boiled Frank Stone, the honorable Zealot Khiliak and the vengeful Judicator Jir'Tahl - these characters and more will fight either with you and against you. Expect an all new Zerg hero as well.
The threads of the past weave the fabric of the future - discover a dark, forbidden secret in Protoss history that the mists of time refuse to keep hidden.
From the twilight rivers of Shakuras to the icy wastes of Braxis and the molten ashfields of Char, travel the sector and revisit some of the most iconic planets in the game as well as a few new places.
With all of the above and more to come, The Mar Sara Missions explores the deep mysteries of the StarCraft universe. Conspiracies, betrayal, secrets, and an ancient order of Templar: it's not easy trying to survive in a galaxy where it seems everyone wants you dead. But somehow, you'll find a way.
----Mar Sara Character Profiles-----
[imgwh 60x56]http://www.harmeyerfamily.org/h-duran.gif[/imgwh]
Quincy James:
Age: 29
Rank: Commander
The de facto leader of the Mar Sara survivors that have come to call themselves “Quincy’s Commandos”, Quincy James is a highly decorated tactical officer from Confederate Nova Squadron, assigned to Mar Sara colony Metros several years prior to the Zerg invasion. A pacifist by nature, Quincy was held in high regard by his superiors for excellent computer skills and negotiating with enemies. Although his battlefield training was sufficient to earn him a passing mark in the training academy, Quincy prefers to remain behind the front lines in combat and support his officers with advice and warnings.
[imgwh 60x56]http://www.broodwar.info/ikonky/terran/goliath.gif[/imgwh]
Franklin “Frank” Stone:
Age: 25
Rank: Field Commander
Quincy’s best friend and comrade, Frank Stone is a third-generation Confederate officer, and an expert Goliath pilot. Although Stone’s amazing prowess on the battlefield earned him high marks and an early entrance into the Confederate militia, his father was revealed to have been involved in smuggling using his authority, and the scandal combined with his father’s suicide doomed his military career. Stone, who once believed himself in line for a promotion to Colonel, was demoted to Marshall and shipped off to Mar Sara. Although he quickly took a dislike to Quincy’s careful, peaceful and analytical nature, he has since grown to appreciate his friend’s intelligence and respects him as much as any soldier.

Khiliak:
Age: 649
Rank: Praetor
A Zealot hardened in battle, Khiliak was born on Aiur in the province of Scion and rejected promotion to the rank of Praetor at the time, preferring to take the chance for a scouting expedition to find and document other planets and species. It was thus, two centuries later, that he was found by Jir’Tahl, masquerading as a Judicator.
[imgwh 60x56]http://www.harmeyerfamily.org/h-duke.gif[/imgwh]
James Norrington:
Age: 52
Rank: Captain
Commanding the Battlecruiser Interceptor, Norrington is a former Confederate officer under Alpha Squadron. After becoming disillusioned with Confederate corruption Norrington smuggled millions of dollars worth of top-secret Confederate research to the Kel-Morian Combine in exchange for amnesty, and became a top Fleet Commander for their military.
[imgwh 60x56]http://www.harmeyerfamily.org/h-raynor.gif[/imgwh]
Tony Falcon:
Age: 22
Rank: None
Norrington’s speed demon nephew, Tony’s parents were lost to Zerg during a mining expedition on Dylar IV. As he matured, Tony lost his taste for the military and the Combine, although he is still loyal to his uncle whom cared for him.
[imgwh 60x56]http://www.harmeyerfamily.org/h-tassadar.gif[/imgwh]
Vira’Del:
Age: 296
Rank: Aerial Commander of Jir’Tahl’s Fleet.
Born at an unknown time after Jir’Tahl’s exile from Aiur, Vira’Del zealously believed in his father’s quest for power and served him loyally. Vira’Del was raised to believe his father had been framed and became a highly-trained Scout pilot, although his skill in hand to hand combat was also quite high. He commands the carrier Larifant, named for his mother that he never knew.
[imgwh 60x56]http://wiki.gamer.free.fr/illustrations/sc/overlord.gif[/imgwh]
Baagirtash:
Age: Unknown
Rank: Senior Overlord of Garm Brood
A sentient Overlord with the power to speak, Baagirtash was assigned by Daggoth after the invasion of Aiur to rebuild the Garm Brood to protect the new Overmind. Little more is known about him.
[imgwh 60x56]http://images.wikia.com/starcraft/image ... eratul.gif[/imgwh]
Norakhai:
Age: Unknown
Rank: Commander of Dark Templar splinter faction.
The leader of a small tribe of Dark Templar living on the planet Jotun, Norakhai’s past and motives are shrouded in mystery. Apparently having a relationship with Jir’Tahl, the two refer to each other as “old friend” and have met in combat in the past. The scars left by this conflict run deep on both combatants - Norakhai possesses a long, jagged scar across his face, while Jir'Tahl's scars run far deeper than flesh.
[imgwh 60x56]http://www.evula.com/starcraft/protoss/ ... rbiter.gif[/imgwh]
Jir’Tahl:
Age: 857
Rank: Commander of Jir’Tahl’s Fleet.
The son of the Conclave head Kortanul, Jir’Tahl was raised with the best education and training his father’s influence could provide. Highly intelligent and skilled, even for a Protoss, Jir’Tahl was promoted to the rank of Praetor on his 300th birthday, and it was believed he would eventually take his father’s place and seat within the Conclave. However, shortly after this he was found to have murdered six of his closest friends. Although the motivation and specifications of this act are unclear, the result is well known - Jir’Tahl was exiled from Aiur and his father was subsequently dishonored and spent his elder years hiding in a small citadel in Antioch until his death, ashamed of his son’s actions. The Protoss came to regard the subject taboo, Aiur’s once-greatest son who turned his back on his father’s people.
After he was sentenced, Jir’Tahl gathered a group of those who believed his innocence and stole a proto-type Arbiter vessel before leaving the planet. With the knowledge of his trial being kept secret and considered unspeakable, Jir’Tahl’s reputation failed to expand beyond Aiur, and he thus was able to slowly build an army of Protoss over time by masquerading as a Judicator to scouts and mining expeditions.
