I highly doubt that Samir Duran is Xel'Naga unless he's a rogue. They were a race seeking to create the perfect being and resulted in 1 failure (the protoss) and one better than them (the zerg) but neither perfect. But the zerg are pretty damn close if they consume the toss. There is no evidence that the Xel'Naga aren't perfect or flawed either. Knowing Blizzard and seeing the latest work in the campaigns, I know it's going to be awesome I just hope the story doesn't fizzle out, the SC lore was one of the greatest so far. | ||

The Zerg and Protoss are the current iteration of this "rebirth" cycle the Xel'Naga participate in, where the races eventualy evolutionally unite and recreate the Xel'Naga. Unfortunately, several unscrupulous parties have become priivy to this secret information (Samir Duran, and whoever he works for), and have made their own bastardized "hybrid" creatures, and thus threaten to destroy the Xel'Naga's benevolent aims, and all existing life currently in the universe. So, in conclusion: no. Read your lore. On August 18 2009 04:31 EximoSua wrote: + Show Spoiler + Um...Yes, they are, evolutionarily speaking. The Zerg and the Protoss are engineered races designed to eventually reunite into the Xel'Naga. As I already said.

And Humans being Xel'Naga's possible but very very unlikely because it would involve a colony being limited in technology for it to work. i.e. Xel'Naga decide to create a colony on Earth and for some reason decide to limit the technology and start them at the stone age where they slowly work their way up. Which is not likely for a race unless they are very illogical or had some strange reason to do so. I think it'd be kinda cool though if it turns out that Humans were some sort of experiment by the Xel'Naga to see how races develop under different circumstances. Also, Protoss don't need nukes cause they have anti-matter missiles. Too bad they suck in game compared to real anti-matter missiles of that size (scientifically, anti-matter missiles the size of a jet cockpit would likely blow apart cities, but I'm just making a wild estimate, could be larger) xD Also, didn't Duran have zerg armor or something when he was infested? Which would imply that he was indeed infested or was somehow able to fake carapace and regeneration? Or is my memory faulty? Edit: Oh and to the person who asked about downloading the DT saga, just look for it in the library. I managed to find the first three starcraft books in my local library. | ||

Chris Metzen is the only one that has the last word on the actual lore of the SC universe, period. It doesnt make sense that the Terran where or are Xelnaga relative. | ||

Like someone said way way be4 earlier (Not sure who but it was stated), that Duran may be an android. I agree as there are several facts. Duran does not appear to be under Kerrigan's control (Although he SHOULD be considering he was Infested). This means that either he is so strong in psionic power that he cannot be controlled by Kerrigan (Which is the queen of the Zerg swarm, so thats very difficult to find for a 'human'.) Only Protoss could match psionically (I believe) with the Zerg, so that supports my first claim. Secondly, Duran has lived for millennias, most sentient beings cannot live for soo soo soo long. Except Protoss to say the least which could live up to a millennia but not sure their maximum age but the Protoss have technology which I believe support their age as well (Since they could put their critical woundeds / living 'dead' into a stabilizing Dragoons). So, its 'Possible' that Duran maybe an android. Third addition is that he has lived with many names. Many names would require different disguises and which I suspect would not only be just 'human' skin as humans only arrived recently. I suspect that Duran has biosynthetic - adaptable skin (That allow him to get 'infested' and still not get caught and change his appearance) Then again, these are just my opinions, no flaming thanks. EDIT- phrase adjusted. | ||

just thinking the same thing but a little differently what if... a SINGLE terran was making the zerg and the protoss race he made the protoss prototype (X'el Naga) and it stole the zerg specimin making it hostile and then they made the overmind. then they needed a race to treat them as gods so they made the neww protoss but they backfired and now the terran is mad and... (could be spoiler alert) he kills kerragin and is the Zerg Master any thoughts? thx 4 reading -Zabestrial hahahahahah i nearly died hahahaha ... p.s for those ranting about lore ... here is why ppls are ignoring you. for war 3 and wow , blizzard was saying in books . OMG sageras was a really good titan then he meet the eredar who was so evil he blew a nut and decided to be evil as well. then after awhile ppls wanted to play as eredar etc. so blizzard changed their story into OMG the CHARACTERS insided the books got their facts wrong/was decieved and OMG sageras was the dude who made the eredar evil, so now alliance eredars. don't trust anything blizzard says is canon , cause they just completely disregard it and it adds elements to the game laters ... p.s.s the dreadlord and achimond used to belong to the same race... | ||

Hence the experiments with the protoss and zerg. Duran is an agent of the ancient enemy of the Xel Naga. He sabotaged the zerg and project by giving them sentience and disrupting control to exterminate the Xel Naga. Maybe he succeeded maybe not. This is from a custom singleplayer mission I played with some gaps in the story I filled in. I think it is a good explenation. wow. this is pretty good. | ||

Definitely sounds like something Metzen would come up with =] Errr, ok, but WHY? Why de-evolve and then re-evolve (with added redbull acceleration), when they could just remain dormant as they were? How would de-evolving help? Also, nothing like this makes sense in the timeline. Humans are a new species. It's practically 500 years from when we got to the age of space travel. 500 years! That's... weak man! And then Duran can be an android (but not created by humans because he exists when humans weren't even standing up right), or he could just be a superior life form who can take the shape of a human being. OR just be able to reincarnate in different species and such. Really, terrans suck most in the SC universe, they should've been wiped out a long time ago but I guess our passion for our race kept the writers from killing us off. Come on, we don't even have basic teleportation technology, or battlecruisers get raped by zerg like there's no tomorrow, and so on. What weapons do we actually have besides from OOBER BEACONS? | ||
