Description This is an idea for an RTS game based on a fanfic idea I have. Basically, here we see the playable factions.
The United Earth Directorate (UED) from StarCraft
The Cardassians from Star Trek
The Alliance, Browncoats, and Reavers from Firefly
And the Cerinians (Krystal's race) from Star Fox

The story building up to it is this:

In 2446, seventy years before the story takes place, the United Powers League encountered the Cardassian Union. Fearing alien invasion, the countries that had stayed out of the UPL joined, and the UPL became the much more millitaristic UED. After two wars, the UED and the Cardassians now have an uneasy truce with one another.

Now, you may ask "Why are the Firefly factions here if Earth got used up in Firefly?" I'll tell you. In the chaos that existed before the founding of the UPL, a small fleet of warp-ships was built by people who wanted to leave Earth. The only countries that could build these ships at the time, were the US and China. And "Earth-that-was" was invented as a way to explain why they left. After the events in Serenity, political unrest has arisen again, and worlds want independence from the government that formed the Reavers. So the Browncoats are arising again.

Cerinia's presence is here because I always thought that we needed an explanation as to what it was like, and how it was destroyed, and also, I just wanted another alien race.

Now, at the time of the story, Cerinia has been caught up in the Cold War between Earth and Cardassia, and the UED has discovered the Alliance, but the Alliance doesn't know that...yet.

As for the symbols, I made up the Reaver and Cerinian symbols, simply because neither had any.

Now, who would you play as?

StarCraft (c) Blizzard Entertainment
Star Trek (c) CBS Paramount
Firefly (c) Fox/Universal
Star Fox (c) Nintendo

P.S. This isn't going to be a real game (in case you haven't figured that out). It's just a fan's dream.

UED is one of the strongest SI-FI factions out there. That huge fleet that they sent into the KOPRULU sector was not even a fraction of there force. They had lost intrest in it meaning they're not worried by the zerg nore the protoss. There empire spans sectors so there huge. Also there tech is far past the Mengsk's Dominion, intruth I'd say the UED is stronger then most these factions. I truely think there size alone is a major factor let alone there tech. That small fleet(small by there standards) did take down the dominion and beat back the protoss and inslaved the overmind. It took all three factions to beat back the UED at once.

...

True, the UED is more powerful then the Firefly factions, but there are TONS of more powerful factions out there. Like the Time Lords, Culture, Xeelee, Daleks, Downstreamers, Q Continuum, just to name a few.

Now, imagine how they'd react to the Cardassians...

They destroyed the Cardassian Command Center. And their HQ.

Then the UED could expect a bioweapon headed their way.

And the UED expects the United Earth Federaton as allies.

ummm reavers... "if they take the ship, they'll rape us to death, eat our flesh, and sow our skins to thier clothing...and if were really really lucky, they will do to it in that order..." (raids would be so fun/awsome as reavers)

Browncoats all the way. Now that you've planted the image in my brain, I just can't stop picturing Mal socking Gul-Dukat in the jaw.

For me, I'd want to play as the Cardassians, but the Browncoats do come in at a close second. As for Mal punching Dukat, do you think I should include that part? Even though neither is a central character in the fanfic... But I had planned on using them, so, I guess it could work..

EnlistedRanks In reply to FacepalmPunch [2010-05-05 08:34:13 +0000 UTC]

I dunno, it was just a funny thought. Mal does seem to like taking care of business up close and personal. I guess it would be interesting to introduce some aliens into the Firefly universe, given that there were only humans in that region of space. In any case, the selections are pretty epic.

Oh. Well, thanks for condsidering the selections to be epic!
