Terran Dominion

The confederacy WAS attempting to attact the zerg using psi emitters. Before the starcraft story started, the confederates dropped hundreds of nukes on Korhal because Korhalians were prepared for a revolt against them. Now of course that caused outrage over the entire Terran sector, and the confederates earned themselves a horrible reputation for incineration the entire planet.

Now the confederates learnt from their mistakes. Whenever a fringe world organization show signs of a revolt, they'll lure the zerg onto their planet and kill all potential rebels using the zerg. So now the Zerg would get blamed instead of the confederates. This evil practice have been carried out by rulers on Earth in real life on numerous occasions. Now the psi disruptor was made so that "in case if the zerg gets totally out of control and threatens Tarsonis", they'll be able to calm the zerg down and destroy them with ease.

Mar Sara and Chau Sara were testing grounds by the confederates with their newest and deadliest weapon. That's why the confederates hesitated to send help for the colonies that were being overrun.

 

I have a little theory. Its known that Mengsk lernt a lot about a ghosts from data disc and the Kerrigan. But even without that his knowledge about a project is surprisely big. He knew also that Confederacy learned something about the Zerg. He also knew about Psi Disruptor. And, ofcourse, before his rebel he was one of the Confederates. So...maybe he was "involved" to a ghost project?

 

He was, hence why he decided to rescue Kerrigan from their cruel experiments.

 

I never liked the Dominion, I was always greatly enjoyed the UED a lot more than the Dominion anyway. In reality, there is no "good guy" in starcraft. People may think the Protoss are the good guys just cuz they've been through some shit. EVERYONE knows the zerg are...well...the zerg. The Terrans are kinda the middle man where they're still just a bunch of factions fighting it out.

 

Urgh... I cant stand the UED. Their commericals suck ^^

(See last UED mission in brood war)

 

Am i the one of 2 persons on this forum who realy likes Dominion? I see that everybody hates them (with Mengsk on the first place).

 

I don't HATE the Dominion, I just like the UED better, possibly because Stukov was my favorite Starcraft character. It made me feel really good taking down an empire ;D

 

don't you know the UED didn't even exist then!? it was the confederate bastards! not UED

 

no the UED is on earth formed out of the un the sent criminals ect to deep space and the became the confedarecy and other pirate millita

 

but technically, that doesn't make the UED the bad guys right? the prisoners they sent were/are

 

They didn't send the prisoners away, it was the scientist Doran Routhe who did.

--- RANT WARNING RANT WARNING RANT WARNING---
He started up a really secret project by buying up 56000 prisoners which he intended to use in the colonisation of space.
So he packed up 40000 of them on 4 carrier ships, Sarengo, Nagglfar, Reagan and Argo with experimental warp engines - only the Nagglfar had a navigational computer. These four were connected to a special AI called the ATLAS, which was supposed to guide the four ships from it's location inside the Nagglfar for 1 year in warp space. However, the ATLAS malfunctioned somewhere on the way and cut itself from the Nagglfar navi-comp, and set the four ships adrift in warp space for 30 years or 60000 light years, finally ending the trip in the Korprulu sector, where the Nagglfar landed on Tarsonis and eventually would found the Terran Confederacy.
The Sarengo and Reagan landed on Umoja, where the Sarengo crashed and killed 8000 of its prisoners. The Reagan's prisoners founded the colony of Umoja, whilst the Argo landed on Moria and founded the Morian colony which would eventually become the Kel-Morian Combine.

Well, to make a really long story short, the UPL wanted to kill all psionics and cybernetics, referred to as mutants, but Doran Routhe wanted to use them in his colonisation project, so he sent them out into space but the computer that was supposed to guide them malfunctioned and they ended up in the Korprulu sector, far from Earth.

 

I personally dont mind playing as bad guys, and I don't really think Dominion as the "evil empire", it's just a way of life and survival for them. UED's "justice" just doesn't work for me, the turning point of Stukov got killed is a good flip for Broodwar's storyline.

 

Still the UED still shouldn't stick their nose into other's businesses. Dugalle - "The creatures we sent here to tame are untamable". That's what they get for doing what they shouldn't. Throughout history, a dominate empire/army would always lose when try to gain control over foreign territory. Those determined local populance have the homing advantage. The UED victory report also said that the "It was believed that the Zerg Overmind was also planning an invasion on Earth itself", that's so bull.

 

Its unknown if the Overmind had ever known Terran Homeworld, but if he had (I doubt) he/it surely invaded Earth sooner or later.
Remember that infastred terrans had almoust full knowledge about Earth, but they didnt know where its exacly was (navigation malfunction).

 

The UED's nose-poking-business, shortened to five relatively simple goals:
1: Wipe out "rogue" Terran colonies.
2: Pacify Overmind and control Swarm.
3: Destroy Protoss using Swarm.
4: ??
5: Profit!

 

And they woulda gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids! (mainly Duran)

 

I'm replying to a number of posts (sorry for writing so much)

that's what mensk said and he could have been lying (like he was about alot of things) although I will admit the nuking of khoral was extreme they had to if a back water colony could overthrow them others would revolt. and the confederacy was forced to, as for chara and mar sara the zerg my have been an accident as they tried to draw psychics out of the colonies and then the zerg showed up, and what if they had called for other colonies aid they get slaughtered by the zerg and the confederacy is at the other end of the gun. Also the psi emiter was in a confederate base why would they unleash the zerg on themselves.

except he worked for the UED ><

NOT there business are you insane a threat like the zerg and the protoss of course the way they went about it was totally wrong but their is no way they could have had all the facts(mainly the jim and tassadar thing). now as for the victory report thats propaganda although he probably was.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will admit Terrans have bad people but you protoss players who think protoss have none that's such bull The Judicator Aldaris In my mind was one of the bad guys he put tassadar in Jail and was "racist" against the Dark Templar and if any of you say well if you read the manual it says...
Well same with the terrans and the UED good intentions but the gun got turned around didn't have all the facts and you get killed for it.

 

No Routhe worked for the UPL which was the thing before the UED.

 

As many nations began to ally themselves with the United Powers League, the government was reborn as the United Earth Directorate. from wikipedia

meaning as it grew it changed names so there the same thing

 

Right....
I'm positive they are separate entities. The UED existing after the UPL which I'm sure you meant to say because it can't be the military division of itself.
