So I got a guess at who the Xel naga is. At least, if i were a staff writer, I would make it this way. Everybody expects some awesome and powerful alien race to be teh Xel Naga. But what if the Xel Naga is the terran race? It would certainly be a big shocker, surprise element in the story line. Let me give you some of my reasons: Duran is terran, but he speaks funny and is probably an android. We habitually see terran breeding zerg in the campagins. In the secret mission, it is terrans that attempt to create zerg protoss hybrids, hinting at Xel naga. The terrans we are familiar with are outcasts, so it is reasonably assumed that they are technologically lagging behind the motherplanet. I cannot think of a single protoss technology the terrans do not have in some shape or form.
Naga http://knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Naga/ In Hinduism, the nagas ("snake") are an ancient race of snake-humans that brought fertility to their venerators; they were especially popular in southern India. They are Varuna's servants. Nagas live in a type of palace called Patala, many of which are in Bhogavati, an underground city. For Malay sailors, nagas are a type of dragon with many heads; in Thailand and Java, the naga is a wealthy underworld deity. They are children of Kasyapa.
So what do you guys think?
|
Blizzard needs less naga's in their games. Seriously.
|
That's a... possibility?
But well, we can't go much further; we do not know. Period.
|
I don't care, I want to find it out when the game actually gets released... till then, i see them as the awesome unknown alien species

That's actually a pretty cool idea.

The terran's were under Durran's command, and they were probably just ordered to defend that moon in the secret mission. Also, the terrans were not breeding zerg. I think they were just collecting data samples or something.
This might be true, but I do not agree with you one bit. Xel Naga have to be non-human,
Think about it. That means the terrans also had to create the Protoss, and this game takes place in 2500 B.C. The protoss are MUCH MUCH older than the terran race. They had their "Aeon of Strife" at the time humans were still different species (like neantherthals).
This also means the humans made the Overmind.
This theory does not make sense to me one bit. However, I see your reasons.
|
|
Wait.. you mean 2500 A.D right?(going to assume so)
Personally now that i think about i agree with Duran possibly being an android you can hear it in the way he talks also. However them being Nagas i somewhat doubt but knowing blizzard anything is possible x.x.

Maybe terran will be the secret 4th race that is playable in multiplayer!

Christie Golden already revealed what the Xel'Naga are in the third book of the Dark Templar trilogy:
+ Show Spoiler +The Xel'Naga are a "hybrid" evolutionary combination of the Zerg and the Protoss. Through countless cycles, as the Xel'Naga know that their race must eventually come to an end, they engineer new races that hold the best and worst parts of themselves to occupy the universe during the millennia unil their new "ascension". 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.

Oh god, please not Naga. Next thing you know murlocs will be the 4th race and SC will have heroes.
Naga would just make me a sad, sad panda.
We'll just have to wait and see though

Eh good point, but I agree that it is blizzard, so anything is possible. Also, I REALLY hope they wont look like the Naga in Frozen Throne

Actually protoss technology is much more advanced than terran technology. The only thing terran possess that protoss doesn't is nuclear technology.

+ Show Spoiler +Xel'naga are not a hybrid of toss/zerg.

Terran came many-a-millenia after the Zergs and the Protoss. If this storyline wants to make sense the Terran could never have gone to earth then send prisoners away to the colonies.

1) Duran doesn't necessarily have to be a terran. I'd rather doubt he is one. He said something like "I've had many names throughout the millennia". Which obviously doesn't fit for a human. He could be somehow mind-controlled by the Xel'Naga or the mind of a (or all, or THE) Xel'Naga could be in his body or whatever, or just a humanoid creation of the Xel'Naga. In his role as Duran he certainly isn't human.
2) I never saw terrans breeding Zerg. They were luring them or keeping them in prison or just letting them do as they please, but not breeding. It's not like Zerg could be bred, anyways. Recreation should be controlled by the Overmin/Cerebrates.
3) It's Duran (or his fellows that we never see) who is creating the hybrids, using terran technology and terran forces.
4) Why should those terrans he outcasts? The UED obviously reigns over Earth, and humans have settled other planets starting from earth. There is no talk about humans not having evolved on earth, so there is no reason to assume otherwise.
5) Psi Storm, Mind Control, Warping, Dimensional Recall, the list is endless. Terran technology is totally different from Protoss technology. Basically terrans still use the same stuff we use nowadays or are currently researching plus some random SciFi stuff that has "human" written all over it.

books* fyi xel'naga are not perfect, they where trying to create a perfect race yet failed. each of the 2 races both posses qualities of a perfect race. thus hybrid should produce a perfect race

did you read the other books? or are you basing off this entire thing off a little segment in one book?
edit: no need to pms on me for having an opinion on what i thought the books meant when i read them

I have to agree with spinesheath here. Yes, the Terrans on Mar Sara and other fringe worlds are outcasts. Where from? Earth. And we've seen the Terrans from the home planet- the UED. It's the same thing as the fringe worlds, only on a larger scale.
Terrans have always been a very young race in the Starcraft lore- they cannot possibly have created the Zerg and the Protoss races long ago. This theory just doesn't hold water- If you look at this interview with Chris Metzen, they want to add more races to the Starcraft lore, not narrow them down even further by making Xel'naga = Terran.
|
Xel'naga need to be a terran-like race with mixed in medieval concepts such as swords and knighthood despite being super evolved and powerful. People from their race could have distinct features. Kinda like Vin Diesel in Battle of Riddick or something like that.

It would definitely be original which I don't see happening from blizzard no offense. In SC and WC3 don't kerrigan and Arthas seem pretty damn similar. It's like the same story with the Xel Naga being the titans or whatever Sargeras and his buds were in Wc3.

One of their storywriters once admitted openly that he uses the same concepts over and over. It's successful, so he sticks with it. Sry, but no source. It was some random article I read months ago.

Unless they manipulated time such that they de-evolved themselves into Terrans in order to lay dormant until the Protoss and Zerg hybrid race could be created, at which point they would accelerate their own evolution and lord over the new hybrid race until they could merge into them, thereby creating the perfect continuation of the Xel'naga.
Definitely sounds like something Metzen would come up with =]
|
One thing we all do agree is that Blizzard *ALSO* have no idea what the Xel'Naga are right? I'll just be pretty damn pissed if they are mentioned but never do appear in SC2, which is what they did in SC1.
|
Duran maybe... is the overmind? lol'd
The overminds true quest was to merge with the protoss (CONSUME) in order to make the zerg incredibly powerful, or even "perfect". And it seems to be exactly what duran was doing, he's lived for millenia etc etc
|
In the high res cinematic in which zeratul reads the stone with the prophecies on it, don't you see an engraving of what the xel naga look like?
Sort of look like mursaat (or however it is spelled) from Guild Wars.
|
I just hope Xel Naga actually makes an appearance in the game, and not arrive just as the last part of the trilogy ends or some other stupid cliffhanger like that.

hasn't durran been infested or taken over or something? i mean he was normal... but i mean hes not now..

this whole conversation somehow resembles noobs at theocrafting just the other way around. lol
|
The Xel Naga were from another Galaxy. Refugees from a war. In our galaxy they tried to create the ultimate weapons to make a comeback. 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.

Well I remember that when Zeratul asks Duran if the "hybrid" experiments are under Kerrigan's orders he's like: "Pfft Kerrigans a noob."
I'm guessing that Duran is simply a Xel Naga agent or a surviving Xel Naga.
He can't be zerg because of his age, Wasn't he alive before their creation? He implies that in his speech with Zeratul.

I dont see anyone asking this but ... what if Xel'Naga went to earth and fucked a lot of monkeys before going to other places to create the zerg/toss?

The Dark Templar Trilogy is CANON. What they say they are in that book, they are. There's no more room for speculation. Is this really that hard to get?

Uh, I don't think the Xel Naga is a human race. Maybe you are confusing them with the Ancients in the Stargate universe?

sorry if i spoil to u guys but if u read Starcraft:The dark templar Saga in the third book it explains that zerg and protoss are the Xel naga just in seperated form and at some point in time will join together to give rebirth to the Xel Naga
P.S: I just gged your thread

yes but remember the zerg are nothing but a virus.
|
I can't believe I just read all 3 pages of this thread. I feel like I've lost some braincells. I can easily tell that a majority of you do not know shit all about Starcraft's lore. Ugh...
|
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

Duran never was a Zerg- this time, he manipulated Kerrigan. To what end, I do not know- though it's pretty obvious that when he mysteriously vanishes for the final zerg mission in brood wars, it's because she's stopped being useful to him.
Duran may be a Xel'Naga, or maybe some kind of primal enemy to them. Anything else just wouldn't make sense.

it's not that you don't comply, it's that you're all too stupid to understand what fucking canon is.

The idea really sounds M. Night Shyamalan like, I really doubt that the Xel Naga are actually the Terrans. Sure you could write it in like after they were attacked by the Zerg the Xel Naga escaped to Earth and blah blah blah. But I hope it doesn't end up like that.

I think OP should go watch some Transformer 2, see if that make any sense.
|
I love how serious people take the lore about a game they've never played.
This has been a highly entertaining thread and I want to thank you all for the amusement.
Basically, we wont know until the game is out. I can guarantee they wont be naga though....
|
I don't know why bash this thread, I think it makes for interesting speculation (seeing how SC2 is delayed for more than 4 months anyway at the very least).
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.

Hey 90 post-man, chill down please.
Edit: On a second thought,
|
where can i download the dark templar sega
|
Man, if the Xel'Naga are just a combo of zerg and toss, then that's really lame. I was expecting some kind of super race that happened to love genetic manipulation and tried to create new races, not split their own race into two.
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.

EximoSua needs to learn that the Lore of SC is not written in stone, they could come up with some lame excuse and all those books that ur saying could go right to the toiled, but if that make u feel important then hey go ahead keep thinking that.
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.
|
well, i'm not touching on Xel naga part but im going into the Duran part.
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.
|
dragoons aren't dead wtf are you talking about it, they are warriors that are injured but still want to fight
|
Hence, i said almost. Zerg usually leave no injureds behind and you know Protoss are reluctant ones to retreat 'MY LIFE FOR AIUR!' lol. Dragoons probably vary from serious/disabling injuries to the 'almost dead' state. The blue fluids /goo are probably nutrients for sustenance and also probably life support or support the body since its so 'fragile' now.
I apologize for the phrase that appeared confusing, please no wtfs thanks.

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

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...

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.

Considering terrans from the mother planet already made an appearance (UED) and had the same technology then you can rule them out o.O Also the protoss already rose up and fought the Xel'Naga so they would have recognized them.

you forgot about the ION CANNON!

Naga means snake, ergo they are a reference to male genitails, and since the Xel'Naga they are more "perfect" than the zerg, (that we all know is the female race) then obviously Blizzard is being sexist again. Where's my lawyer?!

I remember reading in the SC1 manual that the Xel'Naga created both the Zerg and Protoss. Protoss were perfect in form; yet the creation was a failure because of the struggles between them. So they created Zerg, perfect in essence; but they turned against their creators and made them flee. The theory about the Xel'Naga splitting or becoming the other two makes little sense.
Duran can either be with or against the Xel'Naga, it's not clear from the bonus mission. He said there were many, many more Stasis Cells with hybrid creatures around - that would kinda be strange if he only were a rogue. He doesn't seem to be Terran or Zerg though - in fact, I don't think Terrans have anything to do with the other races.

ok here is the official theory
we all know that zerg used to be just larva yea... well the thing is, the protoss could be xel naga's outside form and the zerg internal parasytes who got really smart and one day was like "lets work with the outside form and be uberpwnagepedobear" but then it backfired cause when the xel naga relized that they had internal parasytes they made probes to pull them out of their asses , but , that back fired as well cause they got dumber and forgot everything and hallucinated (does happen when you pull stuff out of ur ass ...try it ) and turned into the protoss. SO now everyone is waiting for that prophecy foretold day , when a zerg manages through chance to crawl back inside the ass of a protoss.
so thats the official theory, comments, questions, constructive critizism all welcome

Err, at 2., the Terrans werent aware of the infestation. Protoss destroyed the planet (Sister of Mar Sara i think, cant recall the name) because of the Zerg infestation and the Terrans got pissed at this because of Protoss 'blatantly' attacking their world.
Terrans probably have nothing to do with Zerg and Protoss with their origins many many lightyears away (Cant remember how many years the outcast were in hibernation but it was long enough)
and yeah, maybe theres more than 1 Duran out there, working in secret in the big universe. btw didn't Zerg Destroy the Xel'Naga entirely?

You fail to explain how the definition of Naga shows any relation to the Terran race.
|
Xel Naga created protoss and zerg no? And they didn't create terrans right?
its so obvious by now, Xel Naga is blizzard damnit.. and blizzard employees are from earth, thus terran. :0
|
regarding the topic of anti matter missiles, it is far from obvious that they should blow apart cities/planets/whatever. The missile can be of whatever size but what really counts is the amount of anti matter carried as payload.
so you can still make an anti matter missile that gives out the same energy as a conventional explosive, you just put a tiny speck of anti matter in the missile.
By the way, present day technology captures anti matter from particle accelerators with an energy efficiency that's worse than 1:100,000. If you want to capture an amount of anti matter that would emit the energy equivalent of a nuke when it annihilates, you would need to invest 100,000 times the energy output of that nuke into producing it in the first place!
If P have energy sources of practically inifinite power and/or much more efficient means of collecting anti-matter (like 1:10 or better), then I suppose it could make more sense to use it as a weapon.

jaedong was the second creation of the xelnaga
|
Didnt read it through, but I read the book (Shadow of the Xel'naga??) so I know it... (unless book lies xD)
Anyways, The Xel'Naga created the protoss, but when they tried to make contact the early protoss attacked them, so the Xel'Naga fled, to make the Zerg which eventually would destroy them.
Thats a summary of what they've done. (according to the book, that is)
