Terran Dominion | StarCraft 

The Templin Institute "Great work~ and Thank you."

The Templin Institute Do a video on the Federation from starship trooper(book)

The Templin Institute I have suggestions for the next videos. The Ceph (alien species in Crysis) and Cell (organization in Crysis).

I believe the GDI deserves a looksie. Perhaps the U.N. Spacy from Macross as well

This. And to add fuel for the flame wars, please make an analyze: Is Federation anti-war or pro-war.

*"What you don't seem to understand is that, I will not be stopped. Not by you, the Protoss, The Confederacy or ANYONE. I WILL Rule This Sector or See it Burnt to Ashes Around Me." ~ A. Mengsk. I remembered playing the Original Game and seeing THAT and thinking. "Yeah. I'm with Raynor on this. I'm done." I was skeptical about his Rule when he Recruited Edmund Duke. A lot of Red Flags went up then, but after Kerrigan. Fuck that.

You looking at me, boy?

Yeah, I started questioning Mengsk's motives when he recruited Edmund Duke. But he does make a good point about a high ranking Confederate officer who knows the ins and outs of Tarsonis' defenses would be an asset. Then he used the Psi Emitter to break the Confederate blockade of Antigua Prime. You pretty much know by this point after Chau Sara and Mar Sara that when a planet has a Zerg infestation, the Protoss will glass the whole thing, killing all life, infested or not. But how else were the Sons of Korhal to escape and keep their revolution alive? Then I'm just about ready to jump ship when he has Duke deploy psi emitters all over Tarsonis. The Confederate government may be a corrupt, incestuous old boy's club that oppresses all of humanity across the Koprulu Sector, but there are billions of people on Tarsonis who have nothing to do with the Old Families whatsoever... innocent people massacred by the largest Zerg invasion humanity has ever faced. An invasion lured there on Mengsk's orders. That makes him worse than Hitler, Stalin and Mao. The thing with Kerrigan then came as no surprise. He can't have a right hand woman who questions his every decision when he builds his new empire. Then jumping ship with Raynor at that point was little more than a formality because I already knew he was going to be a future antagonist. I absolutely loved that story arc in Wings of Liberty where Raynor finds the Confederate adjutant unit with recordings of the conversation when Kerrigan and Raynor were arguing with Mengsk about the psi emitters and the one where Mengsk says "I will not be stopped... not by you, or the Confederates or the Protoss or ANYONE. I will RULE this sector or see it BURNT TO ASHES around me!" Such a powerful moment that one... when he loses his cool to a bout of narcissistic rage, showing everyone who hears it the TRUE character of Arcturus Mengsk, plain as day for anyone to see. It certainly wasn't the most challenging part of Valerian's career to prove he was a better man than his father.

“I- I won’t stand for this. You jackals think you can come in here and questioned ME!? This interview is over!” -Mengsk

laz kar dude, Starcraft isn’t 40k if you want grimdark read some Horus heresy or something specifically thousand sons of you want that dramatic irony

You are right on. I listen to this while assembling and painting miniatures. It is perfect.

Could not have said it better

Yeah, I like this channel. It’s like a mockumentary where they explain fantastical and magical things in a serious tone, as if it was normal.

I wounder how Well Do you know Yourself

@@thelegendmaster3935 subject 626 murderer,pirate,traitor today you go free, mister Findley your freedom awaits

Sounds like a god damn nightmare.

Yomu god help whatever planet their on.

how many halo rings to cleanse the entire Galaxy

Fyodor Karamazov: Hello, Failbaddon... I mean Despoiler, could we borrow Planet killer for a moment? The Imperium is currently experiencing a bug problem.

Yomu "GOOGLE, HOW DO I DESTROY A SOLAR SYSTEM OCCUPIED BY THD ZERG, FLOOD & TYRANIDS?"

I've heard it both ways. (okay fine fine we messed up on that one)

Its understandable mistake but it still hurt my soul

Great video still though thanks for making my day that much better

The Templin Institute I'll call of the inquisitorial black ships. THIS TIME

We know that Ryan Reynolds was jockeying for power against Jim Raynor. obviously.

The UED was just a small expeditionary force, and they still curbstomped the dominion.

@@pianoandguitarlover2773 Indeed.

​@@pianoandguitarlover2773to be honest the ued came at a perfect time. The Protoss and Zerg were devastated, the Confederacy was destroyed, and Mengsk's regime was still new. They had a huge advantage at the start but only lost later on when Kerrigan united everyone in the Koprulu sector against the UED. It is sad that they are largely ignored in Starcraft 2.

UED is literally the USA of StarCraft -Sees the war -intervenes the conflict that is happening

@@TotallyNotARebel_550 Well i would not say out of no where. The UED had every intention of establishing contact with Earth's far flung colonies and incorporating them into the fold. But seeing them at war with each other they decided to intervene.

I want the UED to conquer everyone, go into the void and assassinate "phoenix Kerrigan" and dominate the galaxy for generations to come.

I hope that we'll see a sc3 in the future :)

@SkyTech Hahahah, hold on there cowboy.. there is no more Phoenix Kerrigan. It's just (Normal) Kerrigan now. I do want to see a StarCraft III but, I rather doubt it will happen.. I mean, everything seems to have been tied up and resorted. Besides, after killing A GOD. Where does one really Go From There? O.o

@David Μυρμιδόνες Kerrigan is still a Xel'Naga. Yes, she appeared human at the end, but remember that Xel'naga are shapeshifters. Duran/Narud made that very much apparent.

+David Μυρμιδόνες You'd have to reset the stakes at square one, which is hard, but not impossible. as much as I like Dragon Ball, SC needs to stay away from that like that plague, Nova Covert Ops kind of did this where it pulled a "Force Awakens" and copy pasta'd SC Episode I and leveled out the stakes a bit. And hopefully no more space magic, gods, transformers stuff if SC3 ever comes out.

Badass boast

yeah, i wish starcraft made UED story better rather than just appearing, capturing few worlds and getting beaten up back to earth

Jim Ryan*

come on its Andrew Ryan

Ryan Reynolds

#ARCTURUSFORPRESIDENT

who the faction ,i presume UED from the song of it?

+Beta Stilter This is Mengsk's speech at the end of the Sons of Korhal campaign.

SkyTech RTS ahhh i see,thank you for it,i honestly thought it the UED due to despite they gray moral,they truly want to help abit they a little naive about certain thing

Nah UED is better

I mean you're not wrong

considering starcraft started as a warhammer 40k game.. haha

+Attila Kos This is not accurate, that was Warcraft for Warhammer Fantasy, SC was always supposed to be SC.

I'm pretty sure it was pitched that way. or that blizz wanted to make a 40k game and never got the green light on it so they just changed it..... i could've sworn i heard it was about starcraft... especially if you look at the game .. the marines general build.. the zerg - tyranids, protos - eldar , xel naga - old ones etc. parallels. it kind of gives you that impression. but i cannot remember where i read this.. so i'll trust you are right, but damn

Those are just parallels, the two are not connected beyond the tropes. warcraft was the game that came from a falling out between GW and Blizzard, not SC. there was never going to be a 40K game by Blizzard, this is a myth.

Originally Blizzard did do a demo game for a WarHammer 40k rts and gave it to GW who then promptly told them to piss off then GW tried to sue Blizzard over Starcraft but the court's saw enough of a difference that it never happened and Blizzard was smart enough to secure their franchise but GW then had Relic make the DoW series just to piss on Blizzard when it failed they had Relic dismantled and that's among the many reasons I no longer play WarHammer 40k.

It takes years even with FTL to make it to the sector. THE UED, had full knowledge of the situation prior to their arrival. Thus probes and scout ships were more than likely sent ahead. Remember the old cutscenes. They had dead zerg to examine. Not to mention. Even in the books, colonies originating from the sector. So they were colonizes, at various stages of development outside the sector. Probably had some if not total contact with the UED. The technological exchanges with Earth and the lost sector. Could help humans progress faster. I would not trust all the Zerg. The Protoss, sure. Zerg, an enemy that wants to play Borg, but worse? No thanks.

u bias mo fo

Andrew West agreed

"Still stuck in this chicken shit outfit" - Starcraft 2 Marine

"i'm about to drop the hammer" - siege tank

Wrong. It was Pvt Hudson who said "how do I get out of this chicken shit outfit?" Also, Hicks was a Corporal, not a Private.

yep, I heard it too -_-. Sad really, they get some really difficult names, but "Raynor's Raiders" is suddenly to difficult?. Meh, let's just call it a type-o and be done with it.

OH JESUS CHRIST NO!!!!

I bet autocorrect made the script "Raynor" into Ryan, and it got missed. These things happen. Its not the end of the world

+ @TheLoneTerran He always wanted her dead or worse than dead for being the ghost who assassinated his dad. Vengance is what drives him. But since she was a powerful Ghost with PSI of 10, he had uses for her before final revenge at New Ghettysburg. But Mengsk was a scion of the Old Families himself, and although he whipped them out with the destruction of Tarsonis and hunting down the rest who managed to escape, he and his Inner Circle in SOK were a product of Old Families habits. His actions were exactly what the Old Families were, mafioso megalomaniacs hell bent on power and control.

@@aracelymoran2504 Mengsk also wanted the Old Families dead so badly he ordered a suicide mission to stall the Protoss from battling the Zerg around Tarsonsis, even though he had already seen that the Protoss will incinerate the surface of a planet to deal with a Zerg infestation. While Mengsk is written as too much of a blunderer in SC2, it is still worth noting that the skillset Mengsk used was worthless once he became Emperor. Knowing how to lie and cheat your way to the top doesn't help you as much when you get there.

​@@dragonstormxbasicly StarCraft's Palpatine.

@@Vantud391 That is a good comparison. The very mindset Palpatine used to become emperor ensured his downfall because it created enemies faster than they could be killed.

RainbowPig 007 I see no problems here.

RainbowPig 007 I don't know man, it's like you're trying to tell me something here, something about the worth of the Tau. I'm not really sure. Can you explain to me again?

Well sir you see in this universe there are often things that can be ascertained of value, this is a great many a things so to fairly acquire and give away these items a universal standard, for which is used to purchase items, is made. This is known as currency or worth. And when judged by the Emperor it has been decided that because they refuse to engage in glorious melee combat and would rather shoot you from miles away that the TAU ARE WORTHLESS. *This explanation was sanctified by the Ordo Hereticus and as such any opposing argument is not only wrong but also heretical and we'll extermanartis your home system*

You seriously want a FULL dossier on the Emperor of Man, a powerful entity that has lived for FIFTY THOUSAND YEARS?

UEF UNITE!

RazgrizOne, The Cybran and Ayon need to be looked at as well if you suggest the UEF

Yeah, thats why I said any factions from Supreme commander.

Other than the intro movie and the odd line here and there....There really isnt any lore behind the Supcom factions.

They mentioned in the Patreon launch stream. I believe it would more likely be a "The state of the galaxy in Supreme Commander" kind of video as opposed to a deteailed breakdown of a single faction.

The UED is still out there as well.

100% agreed, sick of the overly large grandiose heroes of magic and gods nonsense that they keep doing with Sci Fi.

Also agree. Starcraft 2 storywise was a huge disappointment. LotV ending was just painfully bad. Kerrigan should not have been redeemed. Her betrayal in Brood War stands as one of of most unforgivable I have seen in any fiction.

I think its the same with halo, 1-3 all fit into the lore and brought a sense of realism to the series. Halo 4 brought in super god beings and it went downhill from there. Starcraft 1 all held to the same rhythm just as wings of liberty did. Then heart of the swarm came around and here come the super god beings.

Himajama you again

The UED controls Earth, the Dominion doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of contending that world.

Wrong empire, dipstick. UED controls Earth.

Chief it takes a long ass time to get to earth it not happening.

arcturus got what he deserved in the end.

Ishan Parasher yes

Marin Ciprijan Entaru tassada. For Aiur

That would require additional pylons.

Not enough minerals

and then he allies with the being that killed billions in the previous chapter and millions more in the very episode he allied with her in. Raynor is complicit in like 3 different genocides over the course of the franchise.

Yep, and this episode, which judging from past videos should either unbiased or lean slightly towards the subject of the video, instead acts like all these things were justified.

@@Gustav_Kuriga He should have just poisoned Arcturus' tea and signed on with his son.

yeah it seems way too upbeat and happy. They should have used some of the actual game soundtrack.

Terran Theme

I say the soundtrack fits. It matches the ragtag vibes the Terran themselves and is a homage to the Starcraft Terran theme.

Agreed, it also needs a -20% volume modifier
