Far away from Vulcan, in the space over Tais II... With a sound that would have sounded suspiciously like a pop (had it happened in atmosphere), the first Loyal Zerg unit appeared. It was unmenacing, to the untrained eye, appearing as no more than a simple Overlord, the controller of other Zerg, bu...

Also, KAN, way to stir up things and reinforce everyone's hatred of the Big Evil Empire TM. :razz:

I'm sure it was completely homegrown, too. No drawing from real life, here. :cool:

To be completely honest, I would just as rather not have any "shadowy aliens" controlling stuff behind the scenes. I mean, sure, it can work, but there's so much more freedom and pathos when we rush into calamity purely through our own greed and spite. What little I know of human history has shown m...

Kerrigan's ship suddenly jumped away with the same screaming sound it had made when it arrived, carrying her and her minions back to parts unknown. But one small, unnoticable creature remained. Floating in the void, the creature began to reach out psychic tentacles, until finally it made contact wit...

Whoa, hey, don't write me out just yet! I haven't posted in a couple of days, but I'm still here. I too think that there is still plenty of story potential left in this game. The A'millians and the Empire are just about at each others' throats, they just don't know it yet, the Zerg and the Goa'uld a...

Kerrigan looked around. The Imperial and the Troll had left. Now all who remained at the somewhat aborted conference were the snake and the magic user and, of course, the Elf. None here loved the Empire, but Galadriel was going to be annoying to have to work around if some sort of alliance to repel ...

Woah, wait. Kresh, you just resigned, but you're still going to be here playing with what you have left, right? How the heck are you going to keep your command without your position?

Kerrigan sat motionlessly. Although part of her attention was involved in pacifying the rabid Broods that had almost attacked Vulcan, she was still listening quite intently to all that was said here. Things were turning out quite interesting, far more so than she had anticipated. The old hatreds ran...

"WHO HAS THE TRANSPORTER TECHNOLOGY???" Kerrigan looked directly at Darth Kreshna calmly. "Who doesn't?" she asked quietly, her calm in stark contrast to the Sith's ravings. "Even if this is a closely guarded secret of the A'millians, it take only one traitor or one captured ship to allow this tech...

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone on the way this game's progressed so far. When I first joined as the Zerg, I specifically made them weak, as I didn't want the all envouring Swarm to unite the galaxy against it. That just seemed like it would be too boring of a path, besides ...

Alright, I wasn't going to post this because it wasn't really all that important, but here's what I've worked up on the backstory of the Zerg and why they are here and acting as they do. Most of you know the story of Starcraft: how the Zerg were essentially created by an ancient race, their destruct...

A shadow appears in the doorway of the meeting room, with a fwoosh, Lord Detritus, one of the Four lords of the Imperium, Lord of sanity, or whatever passed for it these days, steps into the room. Ladies and Gentlemen! You will cease your mind numbing retoric now! The last word lounder, since the b...

I kinda wanna skip ahead and say Detritus has arrived. Dartzap probably won't be up for a couple more hours at least, and we should be able to post him just sitting down so the rest of us can move on without usurping his authority over his characters. How about the alternative? We can have a heated...

"I beg to differ, O Queen. For my ally Lord Detritus of the Trollish Imperium had yet to arrive. Surely, we don't want to leave the Trolls out of this conference, do we?" Kreshna's words were polite, but there was something authoritative in his tone. Darth Kreshna knew that everyone realized the un...

With a scream that rent space and time (or at least sounded like it in the minds of those who could hear such things), the Zerg capital, fueled by the blood of a thousand virgins, arrived in the space over Vulcan. The crews on the human ships surrounding it were uniformely struck by both awe, and re...

Note : Please disregard this post until closer to the end of the game. I was willing to end PW2 basically in hell, so I am willing to go with it, if needed. (We could also go with a different timeline too with different ideas; we don't necessarily need to maintain full consistancy as we move on to ...

Sometime later, assuming he's still alive.... Namtaru sat at some small bar on the DSIII. Although the Zerg did not usually consume resource-bearing materials in the same manner as other creatures, Kerrigan, in one of her fits of humanity, had installed this ability into Namtaru's product specifica...

DK can't, because he runs a little backwater fiefdom on Earth, not the whole Imperial galaxy. I would argue that he could, since he basically is the Empire (and by extension de facto ruler of this galaxy). Unless I'm gravely mistaken, he's pretty much on his own as far as accountability to a higher...

Ra responded with a level voice, "Seeing a Jaffa such as yourself here is somewhat interesting, but not entirely surprising, considering recent events." "Vengeance is hardly on my mind, Jaffa," Ra continued. "If it was, I could have easily summoned hundreds of Ha'taks to pummel this 'rogue' Cerebra...

Namtaru floated in space. ( OOC: Dang you Dart, beat me to it. Oh well, I can still use it.) The press conference had just ended, and Namtaru was heading back to his quarters, when he heard a commotion. Crowds of screaming people started running past him, behind them a Zergling. Namtaru hissed. What...

Above a Zerg world.... Ra's ship floated silently in the void, broadcasting its transmission. Perhaps the intelligences governing the Zerg had been focused elsewhere. Perhaps the thought of a ship appearing in the heart of their space unannounced had just not occured to them. Or, perhaps, the Zerg ...
