Terran Factions

THE TERRAN CONFEDERACY
___The Terran Cofederacy consists of nearly a dozen planets within the Joprulu Sector. The primary worlds within th Confederacy are Tarsonis, Tyrador IX, Brontes, Chaur Sara, and Dylar IV. The Military Squadrons that strive to protect the Confederate worlds consist of ex-criminals from all over the Sector. Many warriors are forced to undergo the rigorous process of Neural Resocialization. This process reprograms even the most hardened criminals and converts them into loyal and stalwart defenders of the Confederacy.

Their lightning quick attacks on unsuspectiong enemy encampments have gained them a notorious reputation.

Smoking craters, scorched earth, and piles of enemy bodies are all tell-tale signs of their ferocity and efficiency in battle.

THE PIRATE MILITIAS
___The Pirate Militias operate outside of Confederate control, lawlessly ravaging bordering worlds and outlying colonies. Many of the Pirate groups contain large, self-supported armies that fund themselves by exploiting vast resource deposits upon the many worlds within the Sector. These Pirates have little respect for the colonies they ravage or the worlds which they rape of resources. They constantly vie not only with one another, but also against the Confederacy that constatly threatens to shut down their reckless operations.

A massive nuclear strike decimated Korhal. leaving the Confederates unchallenged by any other Colony, Arcturus Mengsk, a one-time Confederate Prospector, founded the Sons of Korhal in order to topple the corrupt Confederate institution and build a new system of government that would benefit all Terrans within the sector.

The Protectorate seeks a truce with the Protoss, believing that the elder race can teach them the mysteries of the greater meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Equipped with thousands of armed troops and hardware, the Combine strictly enforces its myriad territorial operations. If is rumored that the Combine actually supplies the Confederacy with fuels and resources.
