FACTS

A Terran Marine

History

In the 26th century a small band of humans who were exiled from earth for various crimes against society cling to survival at the edge of the galaxy. Pillaging and plundering every world they encounter with their massive moveable factories the Terrans have managed to carve an existence for themselves on the outskirts of the galactic rim.

Each planet in the Terran Confederacy has their own military and government. The outright theft of resources and technology has left each with a somewhat equal level of strength and technology. The backbone of all the Terran militias is the foot solider cheaper than machines and thanks to neural resocialization and drug therapy, they can be made just as reliable. Richer governments are rumored to genetically "grow" elite soldiers for espionage and assassination, but most armies are made up of conscripted criminals and outcasts. Expensive vehicles, like the Wraith attack fighter and the powerful Battlecruiser.

Now as resources and fuel become harder and harder to obtain the Confederation is beginning to look to other worlds to insure their survival. The expansion to new areas has caused the Terrans to cross paths with the powerful Protoss, increasing tensions and making survival one step further away. Now as the Terrans face off against the Protoss from the blackness of space come the Zerg.

Gameplay

Managing the Terrans shouldn't be much different than managing their Warcraft counterparts. The biggest advantage that the Terrans will have is their mobility. The Terrans can establish a settlement near a mine and once that mine is depleted the whole settlement can be uprooted and moved. This also lends to confusion strategies as you move your buildings around confusing the enemy as to there position. Terran buildings will also be upgradeable and able to host add ons. These add on's will not be able to move with the main building if you move it and must be left behind. But if an enemy Terran leaves behind a add on you can claim it as your own if you move into the area. Terrans will also be able to scour for enemy wreckage which can be used to get more crystals. Like all the races the hiring of mercenaries to do you dirty work is possible.
