So after the release of LoTV and seeing the end of the godawful Starcraft 2 trilogy. I've been putting together a custom campaign that would act as a reboot of sorts but done more in the style of the original games and with a better written story. I think I've got everything set and am hoping to get it done before the year ends, but I wanted to post my story out there and get some feedback.

-DISCLAIMER-

My campaign was written ignoring all canon except for what's in Starcraft 1, Brood War and their manuals. The N64 missions, books, comics, etc are not considered canon. Some Starcraft 2 characters appear in my campaign but with different backstories. You've been warned.

Roster of Heros:
Zerg:
Abathur: Following the Brood war, the Cerebrate provided genetics assistance for Kerrigan's plan to rebuild the Swarm, including the creation of Broodmothers and undergoing forced evolution to become combat capable. (https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/Blightbringer)

Zagara: Created on Char by Kerrigan, and the first broodmother to be created. She came to see the Abathur as a rival for Zerg leadership. She was originally a queen, but was mutated into a Broodmother following the Brood War.

Protoss:
Selendis: After the deaths of Aldaris and Raszagal, the Executor quickly gained support from many within both the Khalai and Nerazim tribes for her past military victories and her defiance of the Conclave. As High Executor, Selendis announced an end to old prejudices and formed the Daelaam Empire, attempting to unify the Protoss towards a common goal, the reclamation on Aiur.

Talis: Having joined the Templar caste shortly before the Zerg Invasion of Aiur, Talis had trained under Preator Fenix and followed him when he sided with Tassadar and Selendis during the Protoss Civil War, she continued to serve under Fenix up until his death on Korhal. Though already considered a skilled warrior, Talis eagerly awaits further training under a new teacher.

Mohandar: An experienced military leader, Mohandar was chosen by the elders of the Nerazim tribes to become their new Prelate, following rumors that Zeratul had been killed. As Prelate he opposed the formation of the Daelaam but now advises Selendis on all matters related Nerazim culture.

Terran:
Nova: 

Tychus: Raised as an orphan on the streets of the great Confederate megalopolis of Tarsonis City. Tychus escaped a life of petty crime and underworld gangs by enlisting with the Confederate military and was eventually posted as a Magistrate on Mar Sara. After a failed attempt by Raynor to assassinate Arcturus, Tychus became leader of the Raiders and continues their struggle against the Dominion.

Jorgensen: As the Guild Wars closed and the murder of Angus Mengsk became known, Jorgensen, at the time a councilor, announced the formation of an organization which would protect Umoja from Confederate aggression – the Umojan Protectorate. As it's Minister of the Protectorate, Jorgensen is seen as a grandfatherly gentleman and a servant of the public good. Rumors have spread that he has been manipulated by Arcturus Mengks into developing weapons for the Dominion.

Horner: Serving as Captain of the DSS Aleksander under Admiral Dugalle. Horner gained command of the Directorate's Expeditionary Forces following Dugalles suicide. Though a skilled tactician, Horner was unable to save the UED fleet from the Zergs onslaught, escaping only with the Aleksander and her crew. Instead of retreating to Earth, Horner seeks revenge against those responsible for the failure of the Directorates mission in the Korpulu sector.

Valerian:

Thank you. I tried getting feedback on the SC2 forums and man talk about toxic. The biggest complaint I had gotten was about rewritting Nova as Mengsk's Daughter instead of using Valerian.

I hear ya. I have plans for a series on epilogue campaigns, one of which involves a Kerrigan clone alla Aliens: Resurrection.

No, I'm still working on the campaigns. My problem is that I'm working on them backward, the Terran campaign first, so even when I get that finished I still have to work on the other two before uploading them.

Also, I'm reworking the premise of the Terran campaign from what I've put up in the outline. Instead of the Dominion as the main focus, it's the Raiders. The only thing I feel certain of is that the player is a nameless Lieutenant(Nova), but other things like, whether I'll have Valerian as a character, whether Warfield or Tychus is the Magistrate, if Raynor starts the campaign in jail or not, etc. Everything is up in the air and hasn't clicked yet.
