The 21st Century:  The Decline of Nation-States
During the 21st Century, many of the technological, economic  and military differences that had separated the many nations began to evaporate.  Advanced computer technology and weapons of mass destruction were available to nearly all countries and, corporations, and occasionally private individuals with their own agenda.  The classic power structures foundered and though many prospered, tensions began to rise.

The Human species  itself was also undergoing radical changes.  With the advent of genetic engineering and cybernetics, citizens sought to enhance their natural, physical attributes.  An increasing number began to show signs of physical and mental mutations, that included unexpected psychic powers. 

By the 23rd Century, overpopulation and its myriad of problems--starvation, disease, war--reach epidemic proporations in every nation.  Political and religious factions began to fightopenly, challenging established governments at every turn.  Brutality was met with brutality, and the cycle of violence escalated into a chaos Humanity had never before endured.

The United Power League:  Earth’s new order in the 23rd Century 
Out of the ashes of the old United Nations, the United Powers League rose to fill the vacuum of authority, controlling most of the Earth. It employed fascist tactics of brutal police power, limited freedoms, and toothless public recourse. 

The UPL viewed many of the scientific and biological advances of the previous centuries with contempt and distrust. They zealously sought to outlaw cybernetics, genetic engineering, and to rigorously control any who showed signs of psychic ability.  A new Inquisition arose, in which UPL Inquisitors scoured the planet, wiping out “degenerate” dissidents of all stripes: including mutants, scientists, political dissenters, cyborgs and various religious leaders.  By the end, nearly 400 million people were killed or otherwise “controled” by the new order.

Meanwhile, the UPL rigorously pursued “acceptable” scientific endeavors in robotics, weapons technology, and space travel.  Strives in cryogenic freezing and faster-than-light engines (warp/hyperspace drives) released the Humans from the confines of their solar system.  By the end of the 23rd century, Human colonies existed throughout Earth’s sector.  Still, Earth’s leaders sought to expand Terran influence to new star systems.

Rather than risk “quality” Human lives on a risky exploration, the IPL selected 40,000 prisoners, rounded up during the Purification, to be placed into cryogenic starships and hurtled off towards the planet Gantris VI.  If these exiles managed to survive the journey, they would gain their freedom by establishing new colonies for Earth and mining the planet’s resorces.

During the year-long trip, the Exile ships were to be watched over by the super-computer ATLAS (“Artificial Tele-empathic Logistics Analysis System”) which spent the long journey reviewing the genetic code of the sleeping crews.  ATLAS discovered that nearly 1% of the prisoners had the genetic material required to access powerful psionic abilities.

Something went wrong during the journey and ATLAS sent offline. Unguided, the Exile ships hurtled through space at warp speed for nearly 30 years.  Finally, the ships’ engines melted down, and the ships’ computers guided them to nearest hospitable worlds.

Two of the carriers, the Reagan and the Sarengo, crash-landed on the planet that would later be called Umoja.  Only the Reagan actually managed to touch down without killing its passengers.  The exiles were woken from their long sleep, without any idea of how long their journey had been nor where they had managed to land.

On the nearby world of Moria, the Argo managed to control its descent and safely deliver its passengers to the surface.  Yet, these survivors also lacked any knowledge of where they were or how long they had travelled, and had no way to contact their sister ships. 

Finally, the ship Nagglfar crashed upon the world Tarsonis. Its computer systems remained intact enough to permit the exiles to learn about how long they had journeyed.  Yet, they had no hope of contact Earth or evey returning.

The Rise of the Confederacy
The exiles, now colonists, stripped their starships for raw materials and set about establishing independent societies upon each world. With a few generations, the three colonies had established contact with one another, created advanced cities, and were producing starships capable of sublight speeds. 

Tarsonis was the most advanced and dominant of the three and it used this power to establish new colonies throughout the system.  Soon, it formed the Terran Confederacy, with its capitol on Tarsonis.  It’s expansive powers made it the unchallenged authority in this region of space, now called the Korpulu Sector

To protect itself from the increasingly aggressive Confederate military, Moria organized its mining colonies into the Kel-Morian Combine. This corporate, extra-legal entity secretly challenged Confederate power and eventually engaged in the Guild Wars.  After four years of pitched battles, the two sides reached an uneasy peace, that was almost certainly an affirmation of Confederate superiority.

Fearing a similar fate, the planet Umojan organized its colonies into a Protectorate.  Though small, the Protectorate managed to keep Confederate domination at bay.

The Rise of Rebellion:  Korhal’s Legacy
Finally, the Confederacy’s iron-handed tactics began to backlash. Korhal, one of the Confederacy’s core worlds, began to agitate for greate freedoms.  Riots broke out and the citizenry were subjected to harsh military rule.  Led by a chararismatic senator, Angus Mengsk, the Korhalians rose up in rebellion and captured most of the Confederate bases on the planet.  Finally, when victory seemed to belong to the rebels, the Confederacy sent in elite assassins to slay Mengsk and his family.

Mengsk’s assassins, however, left one member of the family alive. Arcturus Mengsk, Angus’ estranged son, had been a prospector on the Rim for years. While he had no taste for politics, the assassination of his father turned him into a rebel leader.  He rallied new forces to him and, perhaps, formed a secret alliance with the Umojan Protectorate to challenge the Confederacy.

Panicked, the Confederacy attempted to wipe out the rebellion in one last stroke.  It unleased a salvo of nuclear weapons on Korhal, killing over 4 million in the first attack alone.  The remnants of Korhal’s citizens and their supporters, managed to band together and form the Sons of Korhol.  Under Mengsk’s leadership, they continue to pose the most significant challenge to the Confederacy’s power.

The Arrival of the Zerg and the Protoss
Beseiged by rebels, upstart Guilds, and rogue pirate militias, the Confederacy already had its hands full when the Protoss warships appeared and vaporized the colony on Chau Sara.  Ignorant of the Protos’ true purpose--to wipe out the Zerg infestation before it spread to more Terran and Protoss worlds--the Terrans rallied and fought back.  Though hardly damaged, the Protoss withdrew.

Soon, Confederate forces encountered the Zerg race.  Faced with this unimaginable nightmare, the Terran colonies race for their lives, to produce adequate weapons and armies to hold off these alien invasions.

After the Battle of Aiur (Brood War Era)
During the war with the Zerg and Protoss, the Confederacy was sufficiently weakened for Arcturus Mengsk to land his killing blow.  Destroying the Confederate power structure, Mengsk formed the Terran Dominion, over which he served as Emperor.

Across the galaxy, the UPL watched with interest.  It had observed the fate and history of its Exile experiment since the beginning.  With the arrival of the Protoss and Zeg, the UPL’s reactionary leaders pressed for even stricter military rule.

Reforming as the United Earth Directorate, Earth’s leaders sent a massive armada of warships to cleanse the Korpulu Sector of all alien life--Zerg and Protoss--and to bring the wayward colonies directly under Earth’s control. 

The Confederacy
The Confederacy is formed by nearly a dozen planets in the Koprulu Sector and is by far the dominant power in the region.  The core Confederate worlds are Tarsonis (the capital), Tyrador IX, Brontes, Chau Sara, and Dylar IV.  Confederate money and power is centered on these worlds, while out on the Rim, small outposts often go without adequate food, education and defense.  Rim-dwellers are often seen as backwards and, by some, seditious.

The Confederate military is well armed and extremely aggressive.  The infantry is composed primarily of ex-convicts and quasi-psychotics who have undergone Neural Resocialization to turn them into zealously loyal guardians of the Confederacy.

The most well-known military units are listed below:

Omega Squadron (“The Death’s Head Legion”)
Commander: Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Reikson
Designation: Heavy Assault Squadron
Base of Operations: Dylar IV
Squadron Color: Black
Omega Squadron, as it name suggests, is associated with finality in any battle into which it enters.  Its troops fight with a zeal that borders on religious madness, savagely cutting through opposition.  The Death’s Head Legion reputation is so well-known that rebel elements have been known to surrender at the mere threat of the Legion’s deployment.

Nova Squadron
Commander: Col. Jackson Hauler
Designation: Black Ops/Espionage
Base of Operations: Mobile
Squadron: Purple
     Nova Squadron stands apart from all other military units because of its role in policing the Confederacy for all forms of corruption. Its agents have infiltrated every other military, governmental, religious, and commercial organization.  Col. Hauler has managed to hold on to his position despite various attempts to remove him (both political movements and attempted assasinations).  He is perhaps one of the few honest leaders the within the upper echelons of the Confederate political body, but he is not above using his various agents in black operations and other extra-legal tactics.

Alpha Squadron (“The Blood Hawks”)
Commander: Gen. Edmund Duke
Designation: Advanced Tactical Strike Squadron
Base of Operations: Chau Sara
Squadron Color: White
     Alpha Squadron is composed of the best and brightest of the Confederate military.  It hand picks every trooper, technician, and pilot from other squadrons, often recruiting civilians into its ranks.  Its forces are the best-armed, best-trained, best-supported in the Confederacy.  And its supremacy shows on the battlefield: the Blood Hawks have the highest kill to casualty ration in the Confederate Armed Forces.

The Independent Factions: Rebel & Pirate Militias
Along the borders of the Confederacy, various independent groups operate contrary to the Confederate authority.  Some of these groups are nothing better than pirate gangs, ravaging outpost colonies, hijacking cargo ships, and feeding black market economies throughout the Sector. Others are legitimate Trader Guilds who seek to operate outside the confines of Confederate regulation.  Finally, there are numerous rebel elements springing up within the Confederacy and along the Rim.

The Sons of Korhal
Commander: Acturus Mengsk
Designation: Renegade Activist Coalition
Base of Operations: Mobile
Militia Color: Red
     The Confederate nuclear strike on Korhal only served to solidify the resolve of the rebel elements there.  Led by the increasingly vindictive Arcturus Mengsk, the Sons of Korhal continue to strike at Confederate posts throughout the Sector.  Their popularity also continues to increase with each new victory.  Though they are a rag-tag group, the Son of Korhal have come to represent the one chance for freedom in the Koprulu Sector.  But Mengsk’s methods can be unpredictable and harsh, and his own ambitions may be as great as the Confederacy’s.

The Umojan Protectorate
Commander: Minister Jorgensen
Designation: Neutral Protectorate
Base of Operations: Umoja
Militia Color: Aqua
      The Umajoran citizens take fierce pride in their independence from Confederate control.  Indeed, they see their society as the Sector’s most advanced. In many ways they are right--Umajorans enjoy the highest standard of living in the Sector thanks to a wealth of natural resources and prudent planning.  Their armed forces are primarily designed for system of their small region of space along the Confederate Rim and thus far they have been unscathed by alien invasion.  The Minister is a wise and politically-saavy woman who will use Machiavellian techniques to protect her people when necessary.  Jorgensen seeks to form a treaty with the Protoss, believing the aliens can lead humanity into the next phase of its development.

The Kel-Morian Combine
Commander:  Gen Mah Sakai
Designation:  Mining Coalition/Renegade Pirate Group
Base of Operations: Moria
Militia Color: Green
     Formed by the Kelanis Guild and the Morian Mining Company, the Combine has amassed adequate power to give Confederate expansionists pause.  The Combine is the most efficient mining operation in the Sector, capable of draining whole planets of their resources in a matter of weeks.  The Combine has treatiest with nearly every power in the Sector, supplying each with at least some of the resources necessary to fuel their growing economies and armed forces. Indeed, the Confederacy has become so reliant on the Combine that it has signed a treaty agreeing to never prosecute the Combine for criminal activity within its borders.
     The Combine matches its economic powers with a broad military force.  It maintains corporate-marshall law on many of its colonies and strictly limits personal freedoms.  At the same time, many of its outposts are essentially lawless places, where any service, good, or even person may be bought.

     Once a successful Prospector, Arcturus has grown to be the Confederacy’s greatest enemy.  After Confederate forces assassinted his father and unleashed a nuclear holocaust down upon Korhal IV, Arcturus formed the Sons of Korhal, a militant terrorist wing that seeks to bring down the Confederacy.  With his popularity growing and the strained Confederacy under fresh assaults from alien invaders, Arcturus sees his chance to crush the Confederacy and usher in a new era--hopefully under his watchful rule.

     After years of loyally serving the Confederacy as a police marshal, Raynor abandoned it in the face of growing corruption, brutality and disregard for citizens.  Joining the Sons of Korhal, he has quickly risen to become one of its primary field leaders, often advising Mengsk.  Raynor’s influence may have grown, but he retains a close bond with the troops under him and clear moral vision for the ultimate goals of the rebellion.  If Mengsk were to abandon those goals, it is unclear whether he would still garner Raynor’s support.

PSI:   8D (Neural Inhibitor removed)  Concentration 9D; Lockdown (organic) 10D; Cloaking (organic) 10D; Telepathy 12D; Mind Control 9D; Telekinesis 10D; Shield 9D.  Kerrigan likely has many other mental powers but they are rarely used because she usually commands her Swarm in battle rather than directly engage the enemy herself.
     At the Battle of New Gettysburg, Arcturus Mengsk abandoned Kerrigan and her fall to the Zerg. But recognizing the powerful psionic potential in this Terran, the Overmind captured her and began to manipulate her DNA.  Kerrigan’s body and mind was transformed in a Zerg Chyrsalis and she was “reborn” as a new Zerg strain: Modified Terran Psionic.  Kerrigan was released from the Neural Inhibitor and her psionic powers grew immense.
     When the Overmind was slain, Kerrigan assumed control over most of the Zerg swarm. However, it remains unclear whether the Cerebrates will accept this new “queen” and Kerrigan’s dominion over the Zerg forces is far from complete.
     As a Zerg, Kerrigan’s humanity appears to have been almost entirely erased.  She will assimilate other humans if given the chance, and her hatred for the Protoss is equally strong.  But some part of her human self may remain and that small hope may be key to ending the wars.

PRE:  4D  Command 9D; Intimidate 6D; Persuade 5D
PSI: 0D
     As leader of the reknowned Alpha Squadron, Duke has enjoyed some celebrity among the Confederacy for his military victories.  Seens as a plain-spoken man of the people, Duke was highly valued by the Confederate hierarchy, but also feared as a potential rival for power.  Duke’s overbearing ego and ruthless tactics made him a likely candidate for political office.
     After a Zerg surprise attack on Alpha Squadron, Duke’s flagship Norad II crashlanded on a planet controlled by the Swarm.  The Confederates accepted the loss and made no rescue attempt.  Seeing an opportunity, Mengsk mounted a rescue operation and saved the remaining colonists and Duke.  Subsequently, Duke joined Mengsk’s rebellion force and has quickly become one of his staunchest allies.

Brood War Era Heroes
During the Brood Wars, all of the above heroes remain in play.  Mengsk has risen to the throne of Emperor; Raynor remains a rebel outlaw, only now he opposes Mengsk; Duke serves as Mengsk’s chief military counsel; and Kerrigan has been infected by the Zerg. 

New Terran players also enter the scene.  Sent by the UED, these military officers will play vital roles in the fate of humanity.

Gerard Dugalle
Admiral of the UED Expeditionary Force
Species: Terran
Sex: Male
Age: 64
STR:  2D
DEX:  2D  Firearms 5D; Dodge 4D; Melee Weapons--Sword 7D; Pilot Starship 5D; Starship Gunnery 4D; Drive 4D.

KNO:  3D+1  Tactics 9D; Tactics-Fleet Combat 10D; Bureaucracy 8D; Education 5D
INS:  3D+2  Search 5D
PRE:  4D  Command 8D+2
PSI:  OD
    As the greatest living Terran military mind, Dugalle was the first choice to head the the Expeditionary Force to the Koprulu Sector.  He is under orders to use a psi-emitter to take control of the leaderless Zerg swarms and use them against any Protoss that remain in the Sector.  Once that is accomplished, he is to bring Mengsk and the Sector back under Earth’s control.
     Though a consumate soldier and extremely loyal, Dugalle has some hesitancy about using the Zerg as a weapon.  He would rather win a victory by straightforward military tactics than loose the unpredictable beasts upon an honorable enemy.

Alexei Stukov
Vice-Admiral of the UED Expeditionary Force
Species:  Terran
Sex: Male
Age: 52

DEX:  2D  Martial Arts 5D; Firearms 7D; Dodge 4D; Pilot Starship 6D; Starship Gunnery 6D; Drive 5D; Tank Ops 7D; Vehicle Weapons 6D

INS:  4D  Search 5D; Profile 5D
PRE:  3D  Command 7D
PSI:  OD
     With a keen, but unconventional, tactical and scientific mind, Stukov sometimes seems an unlikely match for Dugalle.  Yet the two have known each other for decades and share a close and trusting friendship.  Stukov has gained reknown more for his development of new weapons technologies than as a battlefield commander, yet he has no lack of experience in combat.  Some of the UED’s more conservative elements distrust Stukov’s creativity and unconventional tactics, but his selection as Vice-Admiral was cemented upon Dugalle’s endorsement.

     As part of Alpha Squadron, Duran claims to have served for years under Gen. Duke.  But, as Mengsk grabbed power and began his iron rule, Duran and a few like-minded elite soldiers banded together to form a small terrorist cell.  Duran hopes to sufficiently destabilize Mengsk’s control to bring down the Terran Dominion.  With the arrival of the UED, Duran has begun to serve as an advisor to the Earth forces.  However, Duran’s true origins and loyalties remain in question.

     Because Medics are popular among other Terrans, they generally get a +1D when dealing with other humans in a friendly manner (bargaining for goods, trying to persuade someone of a course of action, seduction, etc.).  However, people are always badgering Medics for favors--to take a look at an old wound, ask various medical advice, attempt to get a perscription, etc.  For this reason, may Medics prefer to keep their identies as secret as possible.

     Ghosts are handpicked at birth because of their potential psychic abilities.  These rare humans are trained throughout their childhood to become assassins and spies for the Terran government.  Each is also fit with a Psychic Dampener to prevent the Ghost from independently developing her powers and growing too potent (Heroic Surgical Attempt to remove).   Surprisingly, many Ghosts appear as normal folks, rarely manifesting their psychic abiliies.  A few opt to have cybernetic implants to enhance their effectiveness as assassins.

     Most Vulture riders are part biker gang thug, part Wild West cowboy, and part stunt man.  They ride fast and hard over the rough terrain of the Terran worlds.  Vultures are highly useful for quick raids and sneak attacks, and are often used for scouting missions.

Tank Driver
STR= 2D: 
DEX= 2D+1:  Firearms 3D;  Tank Ops 4D; Vehicle Weapons: Tank Cannons 4D; Dodge: 2D+2; Brawling 2D+2.
CON= 2D+2:  Resistance 3D.

Vehicle:  Arclite Siege Tank.
     Tanks form the backbone of Terran ground forces, providing highly destructive firepower while withstanding impressive damage.  Most Tank Drivers have extensive battlefield experience and some knowledge of armored tactics.  They are usually men and women of few words, but they take a special pleasure in firing big guns and laying waste to enemy forces.

Walker Jockey
STR= 2D: 
DEX= 2D+1:  Firearms 3D; Walker Ops 4D; Vehicle Weapons: Walker Weapons 4D; Dodge: 2D+2; Brawling 2D+2.
CON= 2D+1:  Resistance 3D.
KNO= 2D+2:  Tactics: Infantry 3D+1; Mechanics 3D; Geography 3D; Navigation 3D; Communications 3D.

PRE= 2D:  Command 3D.
Weapons:  Standard Sidearms (Pistol 4D).
Armor:  Combat Vests or Unpowered Body Armor.
Vehicle:  Goliath Assault Walker.
     Walkers are the infantryman's big brother--towering overhead, ready to pound the enemy to a pulp.  Fast, agile, and powerfully armed, Walkers are a welcome sight to allies and a cause for concern among enemies.  Walker Jockey's tend to know this, and so they're a bit cocky more often than not--some refer to them as "fight pilots without wings."  Jockeys tend to hang out together and know other jockeys by reputation even if they've never met.

Science Crewman
STR= 2D: 
DEX= 2D:  Firearms 2D+2; Dodge: 2D+1; Pilot Transport: Science Vessel 3D.
CON= 2D: 
KNO= 3D+2:  Science 4D; Mechanics 4D; Electronics 4D; Communications 4D; Starship Operations 4D.
INS= 2D:  Search 3D.
PRE= 2D: 
Weapons:  Standard Sidearms (Pistol 4D).
Armor:  Combat Vests.
Vehicle:  Explorer Science Vessel.
     Science Crewman staff the mobile research stations that the Terrans once deployed along the outer reaches of their space.  With the invasions of the Protoss and Zerg, the Science Vessels have been recalled to Known Space to aid in the Terran defense.  Where these crews once explored new worlds and studied unknown phenomena, they must now use their ships in the heat of battle, to defend their comerades and strike at the enemy however possible.  Needless to say, few science crewmen signed on for such dire duty, and many have a hard time of it.

Freighter Pilot
STR= 2D+1: 
DEX= 3D:  Pilot Transport 4D; Starship Weapons: Science Vessel Weapons.
CON= 2D+1:  Resistance 3D.
KNO= 2D+2:  Science 4D; Mechanics 4D; Electronics 4D; Communications 4D; Starship Operations 4D.
INS= 2D+1:  Search 3D; Gambling 3D.
PRE= 2D:  Con 2D+2
Weapons:  Standard Sidearms (Pistol 4D).
Armor:  Combat Vests.
Vehicle:  Standard Freighter or Military Dropship.
     Freighter Pilots make up the bulk of the Terran transport fleet.  Civilian pilots handle cargo transportation, passenger ships, and courier vessels.  Military freighter pilots are responsible for the Dropships which bring Terran units into the field of battle.  Freighter pilots, especially Dropship pilots, tend to have nerves of steel--often flying large, slow, and unarmed ships right into the a hot zone in order to drop or extract troops.  Though these pilots rarely get the glory of those flying starfighters or capital ships, they are an important part of the Terran defense force.

Fighter Pilot
STR= 2D+2: 
DEX= 3D+2:  Pilot Starfighter 4D; Starship Weapons 4D.
CON= 3D:  Endurance 3D+1.
KNO= 2D+2:  Tactics: Starfighters 3D; Mechanics 3D; Electronics 3D; Communications 3D; Starship Operations 4D; Sensors 3D.
INS= 2D+1:  Search 3D.
PRE= 2D:  Command 3D
Weapons:  Standard Sidearms (Pistol 4D).
Armor:  Flight Suit.
Vehicle:  Wraith Starfighter.
    Fighter pilots are the cream of the Terran navy--the quickest, coolest and most dangerous units available (at least in their own opinion).  Flying the CF/A-17 Wraith, with its versatile weapons systems and cloaking potential, these pilots often make good on their boasts.  They can slip right past enemy units in full daylight and lay waste to an opposition base.  Pilots tend to be cocky and willing to take unnecessary risks, but in the heat of battle, they tend to fight well together, keep their heads, and show the same ferocious tenacity as the units on the ground.

Capital Ship Crewman
STR= 2D: 
DEX= 3D:  Pilot Capital Ship 4D; Capital Ship Gunnery 4D.
CON= 3D:  Endurance 3D+1.
KNO= 2D+2:  Tactics 3D+2; Mechanics 3+2D; Electronics 3D+2; Communications 3D; Starship Operations 4D; Sensors 4D.
INS= 2D+2:  Search 3D.
PRE= 2D+2:  Command 3D+2
Weapons:  Standard Sidearms (Pistol 4D).
Armor:  None (standard uniform).
Vehicle:  Behemoth Battlecruiser.
    These crewmen man the controls of the Terran fleet's mightiest vessels:  the Behemoth Battlecruisers.  These ships not only pack the most powerful punch of the Terrans, they also serve as the command ships for the generals and admierals guiding the war effort.  To serve aboard such a vessel is both an honor and a privilege.  The crewmen know this and work extra hard to keep things running smooth and, hopefully, be considered for promotion...
