The Encelon Security Squadron
My idea starts with events on the small R&D Badlands World Encelon. The Encelon Research Division or ERD mutated a captive strand of the Zerg. Their new hyper-mutation has rapid evolution and morphing capabilities, and the new strand has slightly stronger units that morph quickly. They called this strand the hive brood. Their engineering has caused the brood to be absent of an overriding will. The erratic unstable brood broke free after containment cells broke down. Now the whole world is nearly covered in the Hive Infestation. The Encelon Research Division Stationed on orbital platforms surrounding the planet called the Encelon Security Squadron or ESS to contain the broods. Psionic sensors detect the Hive forcing a mutations on various units to evolve its own overriding will. To the ERD, this isn't a surprise. They planed to bind the hive will to high class ghosts known as phantoms. Unfortunately, whatever designs they put in place for the phantoms to assume control is being replaced by some other creatures will. After obtaining control, the ERD launches an attack on a faction of Protoss observing the hive as it nearly destroys the small world, and they watch the Terran reobtain control.
The Hive Brood
After the successful containment of the brood. The ERD moved the contained specimens to an off world sight for their more dangerous experiments. This world is known as Octanus. Here the ERD transported a chrysalis recovered from the last of the hive brood. Psionic Emanations from the chrysalis threaten their control of the hive, but human curiosity drives them to find out how this creature was born from apparent strand absent from their mutation designs inflicted on the Zerg specimens. The chrysalis hatches releasing the Hive Broodmother Kryesa. She obtains control of a small portion of the hive contained. She uses a small force to break free where she seeks refuge in the Octanus Frozen Wastelands. There she takes a small brood and she creates many. She launches attacks on the Encelon Facilities killing the Phantoms enslaving the various factions of the Hive Brood. After she conquers the world the Encelon Research Division's worst fears are realized when after some time. The brood mother morphs a leviathan to transport her to the small world she was first created on. Kryesa lays waste to the orbital platforms and she attacks the institutions core world. The ERD nearly left to ruin by the brood mother's invasion run into the Protoss tribe they nearly wiped out using the Hive as a Weapon against them. Now they be their only hope of saving themselves and saving their core facility world at the center of their operations.
The Tal'Libran Tribe
The Tal'Libran set up a small scouting force in the middle of Encelon's first chaos with the mutated Hive Strand of the Zerg. After the ERD regained control of the world they quickly discovered the Protoss on the sidelines of the chaos. Apparently, they too had unexpected issues with the Hive Brood. With the ERD in control of the Hive Brood, they used them against the Protoss and they destroyed most of their forces. Now the same ERD is a brink of ruin when they stumble upon the remaining Protoss Forces. After a struggle against the Hive Broods in the area and the Tal'Libran Forces that hadn't forgiven them for their last attack. ERD facing near destruction against both Protoss and Zerg Forces is saved by a Protoss Hero Warrior that convinces his brethren to help the Terrans in their fight against the hive before their entire remaining forces are destroyed. After the chaos the ERD is destroyed leaving only the ESS to decide what to do. They agree to fight with the Protoss to change the fate of this world and future research developments. The Tal'Libran aid them in fighting the brood while the ESS devise an attack that will neutralize the brood through their psi-connection. Before they can finish Kryesa off, she escapes on her Leviathan to unknown world with her remaining fragments of her weakened brood.
Zerg major units
Predator - or stronger Hydra, cheap, but it takes much longer to hatch
Deep Predator - or Lurker or Impaler even stronger, cheap, but morphs even longer then Hydra.
Hydra Den and Hydra Morph, expensive with a little longer morph time.
Terran Major Units
Hero Jack Ryder Flying Unit
A Beast AI that can call down support and tap into ship and vehicle systems to improve cloaking, energy, hit points, and structure. Basically an artificial intelligence with borderline self-identity that improves everything mechanical. The Abrithor of the Terrans.
Phantom - of ghost or specter stronger expensive, and it takes a longer time to train.
Whatever the required structure is for the unit is stronger, but it takes longer to build, and it is expensive.
Protoss Major Units
Protoss hero
Major unit could be stalkers or zealots. I wouldn't do much with their HP, but I would focus on making their shields better.
Pretty much a Protoss Tribe with highly developed shielding and warp tech.
I am offering this idea because my laptop can only run starcraft one and that limits me greatly. I would make the levels myself, and I am, but I can only make them with starcraft brood war. This puts me in a situation where I can't make the map the way I want to. So, I offer the idea to one of you guys to work out. Let me know what you think.
I like your story! You should save up for a new lap top or desk top! :) I am a newcomer to this website and I've noticed two types of people here. One, is like myself, a total newb at the editor and trying to teach themselves how to use it. I've ended up making up my own story and trying to make it into something of worth. The other person is a total boss who is trying to finish their epic project and barely has any time!! Good luck with your project, but the probability of finding someone to implement it is low.
I am more focused on being a writer then spending a lot of time editing a map. I probably won't be in a position to attempt that initial much later. I hope someone sees the worth in this because the odds aren't in my favor as far as making a campaign is concerned.
