The Fate of our future...The UED

Hahahaha!!! You would just love it if you found out that the Protoss were actually our secret guardians would you?
Anyway, I hope that the UED comes back. I loved playing their missions, I loved their backround story, and somehow the thought of a united Earth going out and making a galactic empire just sounds awesome to me >

 

The UED have an armada on the way. though i would like to know how many lightyears they are away

 

How about this: Raynor and the Protoss team up against the combined forces of the UED and the Dominion, and then in the middle of the war, Kerrigan comes out of hiding and back into the picture. That would be crazy. (Even though there isn't much of a chance that Mengsk could ever get along with the UED)

 

Mengsk can get along with anybody, the UED on the other hand when it sends another fleet will take 0 prisoners, atleast as far as the Dominion is concerned, they and the zerg are the main reasons why they came in the 1st place.

The UED remnants would be more willing to ally themselves with the protoss or raynor, or another minor terran faction, but not the Dominion.

 

Anyone else hoping the UED with have specialized units since there technology is more advance then the terrans

 

OO! I want specialized, UED only Terran Units! Like upgraded Stealth Fighter..... or aeral version of Thor..... or Huge BC that serve as AirCraft Carrier!! And mostly.... fighters!!! Terrans now have really sucky Fighters, and I really want UED to have good fighters!!!

Anyhow, UED is still powerfull. Remember, although the fleet had famous admiral, it was still an expeditionary Recon Fleet. There is tens, if not hundreds, of UED Fleets around the Solar System. However, the fact that no fleet made back to Earth means that UED might not yet know what happened to their expeditionary Fleet. Plus Kerrigan might have already started to battle Earth, and UED is busy with that. Either way, I don't think UED will make any surprise visit to Sector soon...... I'm guessing during the Final Hour, the UED will come to make the job a bit more difficult for Protoss....... That is my belief, but UED is definitely strong, and it will take more that what Kerrigan has to destroy UED. Man Humans have really came a long way since worring about Martians attacking us......

 

Just because the fleet was destroyed doesn't mean anything. UED knows about zerg and everything and not hearing anything at all will let them know o shit our fleet got destroyed or sometihng

 

Yeah, but I still think Dugalle's message was sent to his wife(and the UED being the futuristic all knowing, all controlling government it is) intercepted the message and knows what happened to the fleet, they then proceeded to tell humanity they won in Korpulu, but secretly are planning their next move.

The Protoss seemed to be the UED smallest concern in the sector during Broodwar, the Dominion and the Zerg were their main objectives, and this will probably continue to be the case, well, the Artifacts and preventing the Xel-Naga from pwning them will be also, but a question:

Is the Xel-Naga planning to destroy EVERYTHING, or just everything in the Korpulu Sector, if thats the case, UED won't care because the super-advanced aliens are just going to do their job for them.

 

The UED force in SC:BW wasn´t as big as it first seems imho. They must have been in the sector for quite some time to know the happenings and formulate a plan including the overmind. They attacked in the aftermath of the SC mess that all factions in the sector were weakened from. Their primary concern was the protection of earth from the Aliens and control over the Colonies. If they had a more substantial force they would have destroyed the Zerg instead of trying to control them. They needed the Zerg to secure their control over the Terran colonies, they were more or less "defeated" when the Overmind died (again). They made a reapearance in "Omega" (last mission of BW) together with their enemys-why? Kerrigans death would have allowed them to retake the control over the Zerg (assuming Mensk wouldn´t have been faster).

 

How did you know...

 

most people here dont realize that the UED, never got word from it's fleet, they know nothing about it's destruction

 

my guess is... that the human race is actually xel'naga descendant, this would make the terrans fit in better and would explain why duran apeared human

 

The fleet had contact with earth. Thats what the Terran cinematic after Chapter V was. Their fleet might arrive ~Christmas 2008 with the expansion. Then they might appear like modified Terrans like the Blood elves were Modified Humans in WC3 TFT.

 

The UED had been observing the terrans in Kropula for a long time, they would know that their fleet was destroyed.

 

They did?Anyway I think they did knew the ill news since the Admiral at the last bw scene sent a message to Earth...did they have long distance internet already?

 

its in the prologue for the first terran campain of broodwar.

 

Here's my Informative Post of the Day

First off for the Fate of the UED they have been stated to be returning in SC2, although, the impact on the storyline is at this moment unknown.

Second, yes the UED did know and had been watching the Koprulu Sector, but, has chosen not to intervene until they came across the Zerg and Protoss. At that moment the Zerg and Protoss were come across the control of Earth went from UPL( United Powers League) to the UED ( United Earth Dictorate) in the method by which they had been watching the Sector is unknown,but, I suspect a Deep Space Probe. After the formation of the UED Earth sent a Military Force Expedition to the Sector in suspended animation as that was the only way to get a force their. It seems technology involving suspended animation was advanced, but, not enough to allow for a vast force to go through space.

Thirdly, Earth most likely has not gotten a message , if there even is one, from the UED Expeditionary Fleet as it would take a vast amount of time between the message being sent and it arriving. I take that from the fact that the fleet was formed when the Zerg, Protoss, and Terran first made contact and being that it was a good period of time between that and when the UED Fleet arrived in the Sector.

There is my analysis.

 

wasn't the UED fleet in BW just a crappy little expedition fleet? I'm sure if the UED really wanted to fight something they would send alot more ships and men.

 

An expedition fleet is not always crappy. An expedition fleet is one that is used to fight in a usually distant foreign country. The loss of the fleet would hurt the UED (Gerard DuGalle WAS called the most highly-decorated admiral in the UED), but it IS just one fleet. The impact would be harsh, but far from decisive.

 

The UED practically had no risk to their homeworld at all while they were taking part in this "conflict." Their homeworld (or ours I should say) was light-years away and no enemy of theirs including the Zerg and the Protoss would be able to arrive at earth without warning. Besides, the UED had far better technology than the Dominion, and even with crappy(er) technology, the expedition fleet was able to hold their own for a long time against their enemies. The only reason the expedition fleet was using the Dominion's technology was because they were so far from their homeworld and they had no choice. I doubt losing a fleet that wasn't even made from their own technology had much impact on them aside from DuGalle and Stukov's deaths.
