Prologue / Foreword

This is my own rewrite of the Starcraft storyline and universe. Though it follows rather faithfully the game’s storyline, in my version the war is over by the end of Starcraft vanilla. While all the main characters from vanilla are the same, a few other protagonists are introduced in the story that do not appear in the game. This story starts at Mar Sara (beginning of episode 1) and concludes at Aiur (episode 3).

Technology is radically different from that shown in the game, in order to make at least a semblance of physical reality.

Status Update: This work is now complete.

((this)) is thinking to oneself.

((((this)))) is telepathic communication.

With that said, sit back, relax, read, review, and enjoy!

Extended Summary (SPOILER ALERT!)

This story follows rising Confederate, then Son-of-Korhal, then Freelancer officer and strategist Daniel Travincal and his faithful and intelligent sidekicks Christopher and Sarlena as they move up the ranks and command larger military forces. The early chapters detail the first encounters with the Zerg; the first half of the story involves only Terran and Zerg as they wage war on Mar Sara, Antiga Prime, and Tarsonis. The second half of the story begins with the first encounters with the enigmatic Protoss; the rest of the story sees Daniel join ranks with the Protoss and their representative Tealdarin as they fight on Char and Aiur. Advanced Protoss technologies allow duplication - literally - of the main characters, as well as instantaneous warp travel. As the number of combatants range from a handful to billions, both tactics and strategy are paramount, and every time Daniel and company's sharp wits save the day - till the end.

A handful of Starcraft Brood War and Starcraft 2 units make a brief appearance.

There will be romance as well between Christopher and Sarlena. How that fits into the story, and whether love can survive hate, you'll have to read to find out.

Zerg are not shown to be terrible monsters. There is a bit of philosophy / ethics involved, as well as psychology and manipulation.

(END ALERT)
