  • Interested to join the UED Expeditionary Fleet Survivors? Make sure to send us a message!

  • Zerg!

  • And for All ManKind!

  • If the UED was able to kick everyone's asses, I doubt that the Zerg alone can attack Earth, without the entire UED retreating and obliterating the entire Zerg force. Who knows what the entire UED fleet can do, all we know is that a tiny midget expedition force can severely damage entire factions. *COUGH PROTOSSCOUGH COUGH ZERG COUGH DOMINION*

  • It'd be awesome if, when at the end and the UED remnants are fleeing, the Zerg overtake them, only for half the entire UED fleet in the universe arrive, kicking everyone's ass.

  • This propaganda "new" are exacly in the style of Starship troopers.

  • I'm no math genius but shouldn't that be "over a billion ?"

  • see? This is proof that terran is broken. Marines beating the most elite zerg. So OP gg no re. (if that last part wasn't a clue, I'm joking)

  • Fucking marine saluting with the wrong hang

  • @DenkiGroovu

    It is in the future ! Maybe they changed the salute to the left hand !

  • A perfect homage to World War II propaganda newsreels, complete with the corny cartoon diagrams and the cheesy narrator.

  • ZURG!

  • I want the UED to return! Bad-ass military power. Best Terran faction ever. Not a power abusive Confederacy, not a corrupt Dominion, only Raynor's boys compare with them. And I'm sure the Spartan Company boys would like to see some old friends return.

  • @TheFtwLOL

    Then...Are you interested in joinin the UED Remnants of the Koprulu sector? It's a ''clan'' I have created to celebrate the glory of the UED and to encourage it's return and Terran supremacy in the sector. If you want to know more, send me a private message, and I'll direct you to the direct recruitment topic!

    Stukov shall lead us out of Abaddon!

  • @sumerian88 I also liked the UED, the new UEDEF. I liked the UED Planetary Garrison, but i used UEFPlanetaryGarrison as my account.

  • @TheFtwLOL I also want to know more.

  • I say "Toss" because I am a pretentious faggot too cool to say the full word

  • Heavily inspired by the Starship Troopers style media clips

  • Even if the Overmind could regenerate couldnt have they atleast nuked the rest of the zerg,i mean withoguth the zerg the overmind is like a brain withoguth a body.

    Id prefere that in Sc3 the total UED forces fought the Xel naga whell the rest of the factions got screwd away,it would be far more intresting.

  • great show ;)

  • UED EXPEDITIONNARY FORCE RECRUITING ON STARCRAFT 2! For true Terran patriots only! Send me a personal message if you feel interested to join this pure Terran team inspired by the UED!

  • @sumerian88 Actoully UED never refer themselves as Terran on Human.

  • @Osvath97

    Dugalle said "Serve Humanity !" right at the beginning of the UED campaign.

    Not sure about "Terran",

    but considering that Terra is the alternative name of Earth, the UED probably see themselves as even more "Terran" than the K-sector humans ...

  • I like how its so intentionally similar to the news in Starship Troopers. :)

  • Even in the future the media lies char is no where near earth the whole goddamn sector is far enough away that it'd take the Zerg awhile to reach earth at least 1 or 2 generations

  • @Pocco20

    i don't think so ;) remember, DuGalle and his fleet didn't take a life-long journey to reach the koprulu sector! the 3 sleeper ships that were originally launched to the sector took over 40 years to get there only because their nav-computers were damaged ... anyways the protoss, zerg and terrans are now far enough adavnced that i'd take them at max a year to get to earth, given that they know the location of earth, and i doubt that the protoss or the zerg know it :P

  • You can make the report as true or fake as you want on the casualties depending on how you play. *cough* power overwhelming *cough

  • If that were the ending for Brood War, I would have no qualms with it.

    Stupid Kerrigan, had to mess up everything...

  • 'the greatest military force in the galaxy'

    bullshit.

  • According to the game sources, DuGalle's 2nd Fleet task force that was sent to the Korpulu Sector was only 1/10 the size of a standard UED Fleet... and apparently, the United Earth Directorate has 10 Fleets. Still, with such a 'small' force, DuGalle was able to screw the Dominion several times over, punch the Protoss in the face, and finally conquer Char and subjugate the Overmind.

    I don't know about you guys but I'd like to see what a Full UED Fleet can do.

    For Humanity! XD

  • @SANCTIOND

    exactly, throughout the game it is stated that dugalle's fleet is "just" an expeditionary task-force ... taking that into account i also felt that his troops managed to hold their own pretty good against the dominion, the protoss and the zerg (!) they did grow overconfident in their ability to screw 3 parties @ once and still be able to win ...

    but hell, i want to see earth's full force engage the koprulu sector :)

  • @Medhiv83

    Would you like to be part of the UED expeditionnary force on SC2 (A UED based team)?

    If yes, then tell me throught a PM, I shall direct you to the topic on the forums where I give the precisions about the team. For Humanity, fellow Terran!

  • @sumerian88 isn't that the same team I'm in?

  • @sumerian88 Can you put a video about the SC2 UED Expeditionary Force?

  • @ScarletMarines I do not have video editing skills, but I maintain a Facebook page about it, next update is tomorrow. I'll be describing the bulk of UED ground deployments : The Marines, also known as ''smiths''.

  • @ScarletMarines Here, check out the page (I sent it on PM to you)!

  • @sumerian88 Thanks. And hey, i liked the United Earth Federation - the equivalent of the United Earth Directorate faction.

  • @Medhiv83 heck i'm even beginning to think their battlecruisers are more numerous than all zerg flyers combined

  • @Medhiv83 The UED should've been the main villain for the SCII saga.

  • @Medhiv83

    I wonder what the UED will do, I hope they are featured in the later parts of Starcraft II Zerg or Protoss campaigns. The only remnants of the UED presence was the Goliath Spartan Company.

    DuGalle was one of Earth's greatest Admirals, and great leaders usually have followers. I would not be surprised if DuGalle's death pissed off some of his proteges, who are probably now Admirals and Generals themselves :)

  • @Medhiv83 perhaps in heart of the swarm or legacy of the void

  • @SANCTIOND Let's not forget the little detail that Blizzard stated: Namely that the UED expeditionary fleet was armed intentionally with more primitive weaponry(ie, on the level of the Dominion). This was to prevent the reverse engineering of their technology. Specifically, they said what they sent into the Koprulu were essentially "toys" compared to what they had back home.

  • @Legionnaire18 Makes sense. Even with that less advanced tech, the UED expeditionary force STILL beat up on the Dominion and with help from the PSI disrupter, enslaved the Zerg! That's quite impressive, if it hadn't been for the Kerrigan and Duran duo along with the UED force's strategic errors, they would have won.

  • @girlgarde The UED is huge, kind of like the Empire from Star Wars. This was just a recon fleet that was sent out to Koprulu and almost conquered it. I'd like to see future SC focus on the UED.

  • Same here. They could be their own separate faction from the Zerg, Protoss and Koprulu sector Terrans. I just hope that they don't have them get crushed again like in Brood War. It was heartbreaking to see the UED lose then especially when Dugalle committed suicide. You could tell that he was a broken man and I cursed Kerrigan and Duran for it.....

  • @girlgarde The UED is my favorite faction.

    Was it wrong for someone to mind-control the barbaric Zerg and use them to bring order to a war-torn sector?

  • @HolyknightVader999 I think that the main concern for many Starcraft fans is that the UED would use the Zerg to wipe out the Protoss who've proven to be a good guy race. You can bet that Jim Raynor wouldn't stand for that happening.

  • @girlgarde But then again, the Protoss spent the bigger half of the first game blowing up innocent colonials. And in Starcraft II, they do that too. Instead of helping the Terrans fight the Zerg, the Protoss both in the first game and inSCII Opt to destroy both humans and Zerg. Perhaps that's why they didn't make a good impression on the UED.

  • @HolyknightVader999 Good point. Even Raynor only discovered that the Protoss were a good people by spending time with them. In contrast, the UED only saw images of their ships laying waste to planets and didn't spend them with them so naturally, they'd think that the Protoss were as big a threat to humanity as the Zerg. I wonder how they would have reacted if they saw images of the Protoss actually helping the Terrans against the Zerg.....

  • @girlgarde Then they would've helped the Protoss retake Aiur in exchange for the Protoss technology, an alliance with the UED, and trade.

  • @HolyknightVader999 That would've been awesome! A UED/Protoss alliance would be damn near unbeatable! They'd run roughshod over the puny Dominion so fast that Arcturus Mengsk would piss himself scared, defeat the Zerg and make even the Dark Voice and his army of Protoss/Zerg hybrids take pause.....

    Something tells me that the Dark Voice knew this however and rigged events to ensure that the UED would fight the Protoss as well as everyone else.....

  • @girlgarde No, it was just due to the fact that the Protoss conclave are dicks.

  • @HolyknightVader999 That's also likely to be a big factor in it too. The Conclave would probably have scoffed at the idea of an alliance with mere humans even the ones in the UED.

    The Conclave are definitely in the lawful stupid category. They dismissed the Zerg as a serious threat, they didn't listen to Tassadar, Zertaul and the Dark Templar PLUS they made boneheaded decisions when they DID try to deal with the Zerg and that's why they and 70 percent of Aiur's population died......

  • Like Zeratul said to Aldaris. "They are dead now Aldaris, dead because they allowed pride to blind them to reason."

    Though the Conclave is wiped out, the consequences of their inept decisions are still being felt in the Starcraft Universe.

  • @girlgarde The new Conclave in SCIi isn't that better.

    The new executor wants to burn down a harmless colony instead of simply helping them against the Zerg. Fortunately, Jim Raynor (the player) can choose whether or not to help them. i chose the colonists' side, and sent the Protoss fleet running like bitches.

  • @HolyknightVader999 I sided with the colonists too. I didn`t want to fight the Protoss but I couldn`t bring myself to betray the colonists trust in me and besides, fighting for the little guy is what Raynor`s suppose to be doing after all.

    I`m glad that the Protoss didn`t declare a holy war on me after I won though like the Taldarim branch of Protoss did.

  • @girlgarde It was hilarious with my story though. i spent the previous level rescuing Daelaam Protoss Templars from the Tal'Darim, then the next level I have to blow up their nexuses and carriers and motherships. What a turn.

  • @HolyknightVader999 The Conclave doesn't exist anymore. It was decimated during SC1 when Aiur was invaded. Aldaris was the last remaining member of the Conclave, but as we know, Kerrigan killed him. The new Protoss Society is something different, still unexplored since we haven't reached the Legacy of the Void campaign of SC2. We simply know that Artanis, which is the new Protoss leader, is struggling to keep the Khala survivors and the Dark Templar united.

  • @girlgarde "I am a servant of a far greater power. A power that has slept for countless ages. And is reflected in the creature within that cell." S. Duran

    In fact Dark Voice sent Duran to infiltrate in the UED and to bring them down. Maybe UED is powerfull but not so powerfull. i think the pre-Aiur fall Khalai protoss would be enough to defeat the UED. but this would be a very very equal battle with many loosess.

  • @alphadios2003 Indeed. But then again, pre-SCII Kerrigan would also give them a run for their money.

  • @alphadios2003 I do believe you are right. The Dark Voice sent Duran to take down the unpredicted UED Fleet because he considered it as a threat to the Hybrid production facilities which are supported by the Dominion, with or without Mengsk's approval (SC2 secret mission). The Dark Voice knew the UED could have discovered and possibly destroyed these facilities should they have gotten further access to even more top-classified files in the Dominion Datanet.

  • @girlgarde I like to think they technically won. I mean, they DID accomplish their goals, just they were short lived since every faction ganged up on them and DuGalle had some pants-headed arrogant errors. Like "Grand Moff Tarkin jumping on the OTHER side of Yavin" kind of arrogant errors.

  • @Legionnaire18 Sort of like how DuGalle kept the Psi Disrupter on poorly defended Braxis for example.... He should have placed the Psi Disrupter as close to Char as possible and THEN conquer Char and enslaved the Overmind. Then reassemble the psi disruptor onto Char and heavily guard it.

  • @girlgarde Probably something like that. He stated that he wanted a garrison defending the place at all times but apparently it wasn't much of anything. Really if it was important enough to your plans to warrant its destruction then you should put way more to defend it.

  • @Legionnaire18 The difference is that Tarkin's Death Star takes a day to recharge the planet-killing canon, while Dugalle trusted an outsider instead of going with his instincts and trusting his best friend, Stukov, who happened to be smarter than him,

  • @HolyknightVader999 We're never told how quickly it recharges. And that's precluded anyway by the fact that there were a hundred different things that could have been done WAY more competently. Like jumping in on the OTHER side of the planet.

  • @SANCTIOND Blow the crap out of the Protoss/Zerg hybrid army perhaps? Seriously though, they'd likely run roughshod over everyone and make the Zerg extinct!

  • @SANCTIOND Yeah man, the UED was the strongest faction the Koprulu Sector had ever seen. It took 4 factions to BARELY beat them. Protoss, Kerrigan, Mengsk, and Raynor, and ffs they wre just an expeditionary force. :P The UED's god like, lol. XD And who knows? They could even have more troops now. Earth FTW!

  • @JawaThePwn They should ally with the Dark Voice from SCII and be his shocktroopers, since the Zerg are being reformed by a cured Kerrigan, while Zeratul and Raynor are reforming the Protoss and Terrans.

  • UED wasn't necessarily annihilated. It was just a major task force that was. They still exist. Probably Earth is planning a second offensive.

  • I think the Zerg would eventually invade Earth if they conquered the Korprulu Sector.

  • UED should reconsider their tactics if they decide to conquer the sector... maybe they could use the old tactics of d british empire back in early earth history... by this way earth empire could stand for thousand of years or maybe last for generations...

  • They should just send chuck norris in, he'd blow the entire planet up.

  • comic sans!

  • I want the UED back in Starcraft because they were badass and I really hate being a "good guy" on Terran I wish I was an admiral in the UED and shot Kerrigen in the head she really really annoys me and there is a point where a second chance sohuld be permitted. (I'm talking like I'm in the real time situation not the lore or anything)

  • 0:53

    Is that a penis gun??

  • @RSixBoy yes, goliaths have penis guns xD

  • What ever happened to Earth in SC2 ?

  • @EmoBoyWhoLuvsEmoGrls They abandoned hopes of taming the sector, instead creating extensive defences around UED space in the event the zerg attempted to attack earth, with plans of retaking the sector and the zerg. Kinda stupid of the terrans and the protoss to help kerrigan destroy the UED forces, with thier men and half the zerg in thier control, only they could stand against her.

  • @EmoBoyWhoLuvsEmoGrls It will be destroyed by the xelnaga if kerrigan dies but since jim raynor save kerrigan they is a chance they might help the Raynors Raiders Or The UED Remnants In the Koprulu sector

  • @EmoBoyWhoLuvsEmoGrls Well, nothing happened. Zerg doesn't know where the Earth is, so they can't really attack the Earth. Even UED doesn't know what even happened to their fleets. So... there won't be any conflict between UED and Zerg until UED realizes that their fleets had been decimated. (The distance between Koprulu sector and the solar system is too far away that Zerg can't really get there. Apparently, UED knows something about space-time traveling. (More sophisticated than protoss)

  • @korggg123 about the Earth being too Far well the Zerg originated from the Planet Zerus which is said to be near the middle of the Milky Way Galaxy and they then ventured to Char.....

  • @Mal87fik

    i think that it says somewhere in the SC1 manual that the koprulu sector is on the other side of the galaxy, so the zerg travelled into the wrong direction :-P ... as for why zerg nor protoss have encountered earth yet, it could be due to the fact that the UED hasn't spread over that a large area to be noticed this easiliy! only stupid thing about the UED story-arc is that they never explained how they gained knowledge on the zerg & protoss in the first place ...

  • @Medhiv83 What are you talking the UED has been "watching" the Koprulu Sector Terrans for ages and when aliens where seen they started doing research on how they attack and blah blah but yeh i guess u can be right how did they watch the Koprulu Sector Terrans?

  • Zergs must be pissed to say that ^_^

  • Just hate to say, why isn't there a single campaign mission that battles on Solar System itself >.>, Earth has over 20 billion population, they could easily defend their homeworld.

    SC2 need to make some missions on Solar System instead of Kopurus sector :\

  • Whenever I see that UED flag in the end, I salute

  • I doubt the zerg suffered that many causalties, I mean the protoss could inflict better casualties

  • UED Now for our earth now ! ban religions ! unite all people ! nation states dont have future !

  • zerg casualties: over 2 Billion. WORST LIE EVER

  • @AndreiPsiOps

    Not really I could see it into the 10 billions of zerg

  • @AndreiPsiOps DAMN STRAIGHT

  • 0:38 - 0:53 was for some reason my favorite part

  • STARSHIP TROOPERS

  • ah proud to be an Earthencan.XD

    UED ftw

  • we have the cruisers.. we have the nukes.. we need soldiers! soldiers like jim raynor. once we understand the zerg.. we can defeat the zerg

  • ... starship troopers for the win!

  • The world could sure use a UED right now.

  • @payot

    You sure about that? According to SC lore, the UED gave hell for anyone who didn't speak English, who had religion, who opposed their 'enlightened socialist' ideology, plus 400 million people for the kick of it. Not all that great except for kicking some Zerg ass

  • The mercenary goliaths you can hire in the SC2 campaign are actually UED guys. I'd love to see Earth flex it's muscle again somewhere along the line, but it seems that the developers have largely abandoned the UED story arch.

  • Zerg lost a fuck load of units lol! How come they have only a max pop of 200! HAACKERS!

  • *sniff*

    Alexi Stukov you are truly the greatest, we will all mist you

  • @LordTaoTang he actually gets reanimated back to life by the zerg and are then freed by humans, so he's not even infested anymore, he's back on track so to speak :)

  • @Sandgn0m392 I know, i just hope that its Canon and he does return and puts a bullet in Durans head

  • @LordTaoTang

    He is still alive in a semi-canonical way : )

    Trust me.

    Check a Starcraft Wiki and you'll see he was de-infested by a nano-serum by Raynor and another Protoss hero in Starcraft 64. Yes, he was infested by the Zerg as part of an experiment in Human-Zerg Hybrid commander units, but as I said, he was de-infested, luckily.

    MAYBE, he will make an appearance or some sort of come back in SC2's campaigns, perhaps as leader of the UED remnants on the sector (some scattered outposts remain)

  • UED will be back whit something more than a expeditionary force next time, and all zergs,toss and terrans will be pwned and bitchslaped for good this time.

  • @TPOver9000 remember that while terrans toss and zerg fight and kill one another, the UED simply sit in the side and build new colonies in the other side of the galaxy.

    why even join the fight? let them have their fun, and come later to take whatever left of the region.

  • @barak219 well the UED wanted the zerg relatively stable condition so they could enslave them

  • This sounds more honest than that FOX news chanel

  • really starship troppers

  • @scifidrummergeek

    Keeping the overmind alive wasn't as bad a decision as it seems. It allowed the UED to controll most of the Zerg broods in the system. This would have won the war had Kerrigan not united the races of the korpulu sector and attacked so quickly and decisively.

  • SERVICE

    GUARANTEES

    CITIZENSHIP.

  • Very human of them. They do not realize the possibility of the Overmind adapting and overcoming the pacification. Instead of destroying the Overmind and remove any real threat of Zerg invasion, like to Protoss would have done, they stupidly keep it alive to "observe" and "research" it. Very human.

  • @scifidrummergeek they cant destroy the overmind though.. dont they need dark templar?

  • @IsArtanisAzn I was talking about if this happened without the rules of the game. They should have nuked it. I understand that man has always wanted to gain knowledge, but this is a dangerous creature. And, as it said in the video at 0:39, the overmind was planning an attack on Earth. So it would have been smarter if they just destroyed it.

    With the rules of the game, am I incorrect that the overmind in the first game could have been defeated with a nuke?

  • @scifidrummergeek yeah.. ok now i know what you mean i agree they should have destroyed it (or atleast tried)

  • @scifidrummergeek becasue overmind is so huge might take a bit

  • @scifidrummergeek

    If we're talking about in-game, nukes always do 750 damage or 2/3rd of the target's current health, whichever is greater. A Supply Depot(500 health) would take 750 damage while a Command Center would take 1000 damage(1500 health), just as an example.

    The Overmind unit itself had 5000 health, if memory serves.

    Now... if you mean in "lore", I seem to recall the actual nukes were discontinued since Korhal became a wasteland as a result of overusing them.

  • @Eltrotraw

    If someone decides to try and be clever and say "but eltro, you idiot, ghosts launch nukes", those nukes were confirmed to be "Tactical Nukes" and not as powerful as the ones that destroyed Korhal.

  • @scifidrummergeek Actually the Overmind can only be permanently killed by a Dark Templar,if the UED nuked him,he would just rise again,just like one of the first cerebrates that arrived on Aiur did when Phoenix and his zealots tried to slay him.

  • @Soldier773 I see now. Thanks for the clarification.

  • heh-heh-heh... starship troopers :). i love the movie and starcraft

  • Haha

    the narrator sounds Olbermann :D

  • sad thing is the overmind comes back and boy was it pissed :/

  • The announcer lies... The number of zerg casulties goes up to the billions... But you gotta love how the announcer has a classic voice.

  • thanx to the UED, the zerg probly know now where earth is

  • @alexthelizardking I don't know why you just don't plasma bomb planets? Or napalm them. Zerg are organic and all Zerg eventually burn. Why haven't the larger human governments tried to form a formal alliance since we both hate the Zerg? I've played with Protons & Terran mix. With the right units it is a force to reckon with. In the books you see a few team ups and they work great.

  • @unytcommsys

    That's exactly what the Protoss started doing in the origional starcraft, purge planets. Tassadar however, disliked killing humans who were inevitably left behind during the fight. Don't forget humans had never encountered Protoss before the events in Starcraft. Likewise, the Protoss council considered humans to be "worthless" that is untill they proved their worth in defending Auir. I would expect more teamups in Starcaft 2 given the vulnerability and disorganized state ofthetoss

  • @alexthelizardking

    I never thought of this. Very true. I remember reading that the Terran colonies are very far away from Earth though. The zerg may not feel the distance is worth the resources to get there.

  • @alexthelizardking Zerg dont have enough techonology to teleport to earth, according to lore, its 60000 light year away from kopurus. Means it takes forever to get to Orion Arm (where Solar System locates). I still don't get how to UED manage to get to the sector. 

  • Propaganda is always nice.

  • lol, starship troopers, 100%

  • Would you like to know more ? :)

  • Totally Star ship troopers propaganda

  • 1:19 "Directorate Losses were minimal"

    That is just lies. Us players had probably suffered a crapload of casualties than they claim (it's even a bit worse when you're playing Emperor's Fall: Ground Zero).

  • @blackyoshi1230 Actually, up to a million casulties or even more would be - considering the scale of the conflict and forces deployed - minimal losses.

  • @blackyoshi1230 whoever doesn't prefer the alternative of that mission is a complete nutter.

  • "Greatest Technology in the universe"

    Whut about the protoss :D?

  • It looks like Starship Troopers propaganda

  • Propaganda! :D

  • fox news 26th century edition...

  • "The greatest military technology in the galaxy" lol....never heard of protoss uh?

  • earth would EFFING RAPE ALL. Terrrans are earth`s outlaws. I bet there are 1000x the amount of people on earth compared to the entire terran population. THEY WANT WANTé WE`LL GIVE THEM WAR!

  • @tomchengcui770 And considering the UED expeditionary force -which was a tiny fraction of their military- pretty much bitchslapped koprulu with some old tech they had to take from the natives until they all united against them, I think is pretty safe to say Earth could burn Koprulu if they actually considered them to be a threat.

  • Fox News only WISHED it could be this dishonest. XD

  • fuckin' LOL

  • Always eager to please. XD

  • @Kemonokami Ya, only MSNBC could have the ability to pump out the amount of propaganda as a UEN report

  • @Christoppher1994 lol I take it your a Republican?

  • @TerranMarine010 Libertarian, however we are constantly grouped as "republican"

  • @Christoppher1994 Oh sorry.

  • @TerranMarine010 It's ok. I'm used to being called a Republican, it's the softest insult in the arsenal that people use against me. I find many of the hilarious myself. "Corporate pig!" "Fascist!" "Dirty Evil baby killer!" and so forth.

  • state of the art propaganda....

  • WOO TERRANS KICK ASS!

  • The UED has to play a role in starcraft 2...with how they are releasing the game and so many missions per race?! They have to be tied in somehow, either as a pitiful faction...or a new fleet arrives. Hell maybe even earth will play a role this time O.o

  • Who noses, It Maybe they choose to have dematic relations this time instead of just invading the kopuel secotor or maybe at some point in the compaign the UED comes out of now where again and conquers everything you don't know or maybe Raynor accendently sends a distress becoming trigering an investgation on earth that leads to them sending more troops later.

  • Why does the UED have to play any role at all? If you recall they were pretty soundly defeated by everyone else, and Mengsk actually controls the area. More likely than not There is peace between the two factions, the UED giving up on trying to defeat the dominion and re establish control, as it is the fringe of their control alot easier to give them what they want.

    Any conflict with Terrans will most likely be against Mengsk's Dominion

  • @DwarfyDoodad

    There are some stranded remnaunts of the UED on a couple of the planets. If I were Raynor, I might want to team up with them as they may be able to offer some (probably very little) support. There is also a couple other factions that are not on friendly terms with the Dominion (refer to starcaft wiki). What do you think?

  • @torrish OMG I hope earth doesn't take a role.

  • UED will probably have some limited appearence in SC2, but not be the center of the plot, because thats basically what BW was about

  • Nope UED got wiped out.

  • It says on the SC2 site on the story overview that there are some tiny remnents hiding out somewhere.

  • Maybe they try to communicate with earth in the last few levels of the game and that is why earth comes back and inflicts revange. Maybe there attitude this time will be we came here to exterminate not conquer

  • That makes sense, plus I liked the UED :)

  • Or they migh send a large fleet to investigate what happens.

  • ZERG! ''slimy letters'' xD!!

  • I've heard of yellow journalism, but the UEN REALLY takes the cake and runs away with the hot, red-haired, single Harvard Alumni baker.

  • What?

  • @Kemonokami

    And they bone the baker too lol

  • FYI, this was released before Starship Troopers....

  • @Phenix83 lulz no it wasnt, starship troopers came out in 1997, starcraft came out in 1999. the book starship troopers came out 30 year before that...

    if you actually watch the broadcasts in starship troopers, its essentially identical to this broadcast thing.

    in addition, the brain/overmind bug idea is the same. and on top of that starcraft also takes from warhammer 40k. the marines are.. the same. lol.

    anyways its still a great game though.

  • @Phenix83 wrong. Starship troopers developed in 95 and released in '97

    Starcraft released in 97, Brood war with UED released in 98

  • Well this is the first time I'm noticing how much this is stolen from Starship Troopers. Weird

  • yep. I don't mind them swiping the whole thing as long as people still give credit to Starship troopers.

  • dude the UED was awesome, they better be in SC2
