The Fate of our future...The UED

Confederate are worse, I'd say 3/3.1 Terrans suck, UED just sucks less and Jim does pwn.

 

And the UED were crazy enough to think they could tame the zerg. The UED is just as crazy/corrupt as the Dominion.

 

buuuut they didn't kill millions of innocents!

 

They let that colony be over run (BW opening cinimatic), sought to control the zerg to use as a weapon (much like the Confed), allowed Duran manipulate them and kill stukov, and at the peak of their control clamped down on the sector as hard as either the Dominion and Confed.

Mengsk is evil no doubt, but the UED weren't exactly saints either.

 

the kropulus sector has almost no humans in it after broodwar so if terrans are going to play a big part in the overall story we will have to see the UED return. Terrans never had a major impact on the overall story of sc1, other than being wiped out and being infested, the overall story was about the zerg coming to defeat protoss.
Hopefully the great power that Duran serves will awaken and destroy half of the kropulu sector, then move on to defeat the terrans on earth

 

As I stated before...Raynor/Stukov team > all.

 

I wasn't a fan of the UED. I do liked stukov though, he's smart and idealistic, too bad he was killed by one of his closest friend.

The UED was very powerful until Kerrigan manipulated her way through the Zerg-Protoss alliance that defeated the UED in Korhal as well as slaughtering the "pet Overmind". Their interference of the events in the Kropulu sector proves to be a terrible mistake. As the admiral suicided and the rest killed off by Kerrigan's minions.

 

Jim Raynor is a naive (but anyway cool) guy, who helped Kerrigan return to power and who helped Mengsk to lure Zerg into Koptulu sector.
Anyway I dont agree only with that Mengsk is a fool. He left Kerrigan cuz he believed that she will be killed by the Zerg. It was an error, but he didnt know, that Zerg are interested exacly with capturing Kerrigan. Its also clear that he couldnt know about Kerrigan's rank in the Zerg Swarm.
With the rest of this opinion, despite i like Mengsk a lot, I have to agree

PS. Why do u believe the taming of the Overmind by De Gualle was imposible? He did it. With lots of problems, but he did. Whats the difference in Overmind's IQ while he was on crack and couldnt think clearly?

 

I accually like dugalle. dont' know why, but he's just cool.

 

and he's dead too

 

I actually liked DuGalle...i loved the UED altogether
And as for Mengsk....obviously you don't think like a general/politician. He had only two choices...1) Stay in the 8x8 cell Kerrigan was talking about or 2) Co-operate with Kerrigan and in the process retake Korhal and have a shot at restoring the Empire. Bascially....Mengsk sucks balls, but I like his character. I liked DuGalle's character as well.

Still....no matter what, the best human team is Raynor and Stukov's band of merry men.  ;D

 

Well most of the Terran sector is destroyed, im guessing raynor will stick it out with the protoss and deal with taking out Kerrigan and Megnsk will try to rebuild his empire, but overall i think that the Terrans are doomed without the help of Mankind and the UED, ide be interested in seeing a more straight forward, strict, take no BS admiral come marching in from our Solar system and put Mengsk in place, possibly keep him like a nice puppet (like Pres. Bush!) and take control of the Terran forces and deal properly and unmercifully with them wretched Zerg....

 

Indeed UED was the strongest terran faction in SC.
Indeed Mengsk is a freakin' motherf*** and thats why i like him.
And indeed it would be good to see UED again, but not sooner that in ecpantion.

 

See, this is why I'm thinking Terran are gonna have the last missions in SC2, because so far, everyone has in some way won except the Terran....Terran need their dues! 
I'm preety sure the UED is gonna send a new fleet because 1) It's been 10 years to rebuild and learn, 2) I remember in one mission where Kerrigan was telling Raynor about how he knows the UED agenda, and we have yet to hear the FULL EXTENT of that agenda, and 3) If you read wiki, it said something about how the UED made a mass genocide of like...200,000,000, all "criminals," so I don't think they're running short of people to send.

P.S.
I love how this forum has little, suttle ways to be anti-bush without causing a riot

 

Wasn't the entire UED fleet massacred by Kerrigan at the end of Brood War? So only Korhal and Earth are left...

 

no, only a small fleet, the power of the UED must be unbelievable considering that the terrans in kropula sector started with about 400,000 people and no infrastructure, earth at that time had about 20 billion people. but perhaps the biggest factor is that there are no minerals anywhere near earth, so development would have been loads slower.

 

20 billion people on Earth.. how can you even live, and the Asian:Non-Asian ratio would be like 5:1

 

i bet there are people living on the moon and possibly mars and whatnot.

 

if your kind enough to your selves and read the booklet to brood war it states that the UPL/UED controlled Earth and its sister planets, meaning and logically that the UED wasnt based on earth alone, think of it as Tarsonis/Korhal, the central point with many expansions. and to think its 300-400 years from our future its easily logical if they can send a fleet to a distant system and populate it then long ago they must have already over populated their own/our own solar system. so the UED is fo sho not finished and still has cards in its hand...and a couple up its sleeve too . . ..

 

yea. That'd be awesome if the UED sent in more of their forces. I really hope they're not out of the game just becasue of a little defeat.
