Terran Dominion

Arcturus just p*sses me off for some reason. raynor doesn't neccesary have to be emporer but rather a leader of a group. but yeah someone would of been better for the job for dominion

 

Raynor for president! ;D


Guy: "Mr. President, we have a situation"
President Raynor: -"What?"
Guy: "Duran Corp. introduced broodling burgers"

 

Well I also think Jim is not the leader type he's more of the loyal side kick.

 

I think Raynor is a excellent leader, but hes more of a general or a president than a emperor. Emperor has a certain feel over it which isnt correct.

 

I guess none of us will ever really know first hand how power corrupts man, unless somebody among us is next in line for the throne.

 

Well, translated in english my surname does mean 'the king' (and I'm not fucking joking ;D)
Think that doesn't count does it

 

In order to consolidate his/her rule over a group. (s)he will do anything that's evil to wipe out any competition and threats. Our history books proves this regarding this matter And if (s)he does not consolidate the rule, it's likely they will be wiped out by rebels.

Arcturus abandoned the human Kerrigan
Kerrigan ordered to destroyed the overmind
the UED is taking out the dominion
the conclave is just bureaucratic madness

 

For now he seems rather to make his first real stand. In SC & SCBW he was a little boy hit by others (Prots, Zerg, UED), now he might be for the first time on the top unless somebody else can replace him. Dominion is the last terran faction capable of neutrelise Zerg Infastation in Koprulu sector. Raynor lost his prottos ally Fenix , besides his little rebel agenda is too weak to handle with Kerrigan, Kel-Morian was devastated by Zerg and they were rather neutral during the great wars and brood wars. UED is offline. Only Mengsk have enough strong influence to unite remaining terran forces from Korhal, Braxis and so on.

 

I don't feel sad at all. At the start he may have been right and had an honorable goal but that quickly changed. He only cares about himself and everyone else is a tool to be used and sacrificed (even those closest to him) to achieve power. I really hope he gets his in SC2.

 

It'll be hard, but he's the only Terran player left in the game. Raynor just has a detachment of men to cover him, but Mengsk's got the only army...

 

I was wondering reading up on the story last night, and it said that the remaining UED ships never made it back to Earth in time - so does that mean the people back home don't have a clue what happened? And does that mean the Zerg now know where Earth is?!

 

yes to the first
dunno about the second, im sure kerrigan dosnt actually care about earth, which seems to be completley russian

 

if its the "United Earth Directorit?" then why are the comanders russian, and the valkeries german?
are all valkerie pilots german?
i dont have problem with russians, it just dosnt seem very "united"
i dont care really............

 

I'm sure that the Russians just happen to have the strongest navy of all of Earth's countries. The US/UK probably have the strongest army, so that explains the different accents for ground/air units. Battlecruisers actually do look like a Russian scientist created the model (it resembles a Kalashnikov )...

 

the whole starcraft story reminds me a little bit of the american coloneys.
every terran in the secoter has a american country accent,
they call it the confederacy
jim raynour is a marshel
they try and us ehte zerg as slaves

then the earth (the united kingdom) come back to reclaim it all.
but get beeten back,

its has slight similarities
its a cool story though

 

The origin of the Confederates winding up on Tarsonis and the other two planets is more similar to Australia's first colonization rather that New England's. And a confederation is just a generic term for an association of sovereign states or communities (i.e. the three planets that "united" to form the Confederacy). And the Zerg are more like weapons of war, rather then slaves, kinda like biological weapons. And as far as I can tell, Britain didn't get beaten back by an alliance of three formerly opposed races, but just by the actual colonists (not even Canada helped...).

 

i said it has slight similarities, and i meant slight.
the idea of the forsaken people (austrailian convicts, american colonists)
being sent away, but then a few years later being forced back into a passive alliance is a strong story arc.
and in starcraft they use it 3 times (kerrigan, dark templar, UED)
its a cool story

 

Then we'll call it Reject's Law, and define it as the communist version of Godwin's Law.

 

other terran factions haave fought off the zerg the Ujumion protectorate and terran Pirate groups it's just that the domnion is what every one thinks of when you hear terran I personally hate the dominion and every time I play terran I consider my self UED or some confedrate renegades.

I liked the confedrates they tried to keep the public unawre of the zerg to prevent panic although they were harsh they were a nessacary evil. they probaly would use the psi emitters to lure zerg on to planets and glass the planet.

 

I've always wondered why they didn't shoot a Psi Emitter into space and have the Zerg fetch after it for eternity or something like that to get rid of them.
