    The Xel'Naga is a group of highly advanced race, that specializes in genetic engineering/modification.
    The Xel'Naga were obsessed with create a "perfect" race. Perfect means a race containing the purity of form and the purity of essence.

    The Xel'Naga discovered the "Protoss" on Aiur and found out they contained the purity of form. So the Xel helped the Protoss evolve into a technologically advanced race with fully mastered psionic abilities. But it failed as the Protoss turned their back on the Xel.

    The Xel continued its journey to the planet Zerus, and discovered these little "Zerg larvae" that contained the purity of essence. The Xel'Naga genetically engineered the Zerg race as we know it today. As the overmind matured, it turned its back on the Xel.

    Now the Protoss = purity of form..........................the Zerg = purity of essence............................the Xel'Naga vows to merge the 2 races together and became "PERFECT"

    The evilness of the Confederacy is just overwhelming.

    The confeds invented "psi emitters" to attract the zerg to a certain area. In this case Mar Sara was selected by them to experiment the new weapon. What they planned to do is to use these emitters to lure the zerg into an rebel's main base. As the rebels are being severely attacked by the zerg, the confeds would activate the "psi disruptor" to disrupt the zerg's communication signals. Then they send their forces in to "save" the rebel's base. so they'll get great reputation.

    But Arcturus also turned evil, just like Kerrigan said "I don't think anyone deserves to have the zerg unleashed on them". followed by the abandoning of Kerrigan because she questioned his actions......hmm quite evil.

    And the UED too, they are also evil. everyone is

    Well i guess that only the zerg are good in the middle of all this; in their inocence they just wanna learn and assimilate, that's what they were created to do; and they, don't abbandon anyone , don't betray anyone, work together. Hell they're almost perfect ;D

    Remember, folks, that the Dominion started off as all militaristic states start on this planet: a group of rebels wanting freedom from an oppressive regime (the Confederacy), achieving it through dishonest trickery (used Psi Emitters to wipe out all human life on Tarsonis) and becoming an autocratic dictatorship. It's just one big history lesson...

    When a person is in power, he/she will do anything to ensure that their power is not threatened.
    When Kerrigan questioned Arcturus's actions, he let the zerg overrun her. Thats not something a leader should do.
    Nevertheless it's very nice for Kerrigan not to take revenge in him.

    I think theres a big difference between wiping a infestation of ravenous creatures from a planet (where sadly some humans died, mind that they anyway would have died from the infest) and deliberatly massacring a whole planet full of people because some of them are extremists.

    Confederacy is not 'evil' but they had some bad baaad man on high ranks.

    Let's not forget that Mengsk was the one who sent Kerrigan down onto Tarsonis in the first place. He knew that she couldn't survive...
    Therefore, the entire reason the Zerg still exist is thanks to Infested Kerrigan, and therefore thanks to our old pal Arcturus. He's the one to blame, no?
    Oh, and hi y'all. First post, new member! =D

    Welcome to the forums, Pix! ;D

    Yes, ultimately it was Mengsk to blame, but now it is beyond his power to stop any of the remaining factions. His time as a major player is up, and he'll probably be dead by the end of Sc2, or the expansion.

    Mengsk should have died at the end brood war, too bad Kerrigan spared his life....
    Jim Raynor should take over as the leader of the dominion, hope they dont throw in too many new characters..

    I don't think Raynor is really the "emperor" type.
    He'd be happier in some backwater post with more connections with real people than paper-shuffling from some high throne in Korhal...
    Thanks for the welcome, Reject! I think I'm going to like it here =D

    I can't imagine Mengsk as the lonely dictator who dreads his life and finds his look-alike like in The Prince and the Pauper so that he could live among his subjects. :D

    Totally agree, Raynor isn't exactly the Emperor type!
