STORY
The Gryphon people were once a peaceful race, and for the most part, still are. But after a coup replaces their government, they find themselves dragged into a war with the other races of their sector. As the aggressors. This war, they know, is wrong, but the general Gryphon populace has no choice but to go along with it, because of the same tool that allowed the conspirators to take control of their race. These former rebels have somehow acquired a small army of Xtevic war-drones, and will not hesitate to unleash them on rebellious factions within their own race.
The Xtevion, however, did not voluntarily give up custody of these war-drones, and fight against the corrupt Gryphon government every bit as idealistically as their Karsh allies. The Xtevion possess small but elite forces of well-armed and armored robots and soldiers, while the Karsh have expansive armies of disciplined but ill-trained militiamen. Both races immediately lunged for the throats of the theoretically exposed rebels, and quickly formed an alliance when neither was able to do the damage they expected.
The Scintani are perhaps the greatest hope for peace. The nomadic, near-human race's vast fleet of ships means they are bound to no planetary bases or homes, and their variable armies and technology make it likely that they will be able to do significant damage to any Gryphon outpost. But the Scintani are reluctant to join the war effort, their economy being based essentially on mercenary work: they want to get at least some benefit from the war.
Another strange, unknown race has also joined the war, although their random first strikes leave some doubt as to which side, if any, they are on. And there are indications--in the form of an odd, never-before-seen warp signature detected by the advanced Xtevic technology, that another group is coming to the sector. The defenders can only hope they are ships from the United Empire of the Galaxy, come to help against this threat. But how could the UEG know of their situation?
~~~~~~~~~
So far, most of my work has gone into the Terran, changing them into the nomadic Scintani. The Scintani don't live on any planet, but aboard a vast network of ships. Their aerial might is unmatched, but they lack reliable scanner technology, and their weapons are less than the best. So far:
Command Center ---> Supreme Command Ship
Supply Depot ---> Colony Ship
Engineering Bay ---> Command Ship
Barracks ---> Troopship
Refinery ---> Prefab Refinery
Science Facility ---> Shieldship
Bunker ---> Gun Emplacement
Starport ---> Carrier
SCV ---> Constructor
Civilians ---> Colonist
Marines ---> Marines
Ghosts ---> Daemons
Dropship ---> Stealth Shuttle
Wraith ---> Fighter
Valkyrie ---> Gunship
Vulture ---> Bomber
Battlecruiser ---> Battleship
The Protoss scout has also been changed into a Gryphon Rager. Completely. Well, the voice might change, but other'n that. Zerg haven't been touched yet. Nor have the races being made from extra units and buildings. So yeah.
'fraid I don't know how to put pictures in like other people do, either, so I'll just put a link up to my freewebs site, which uploaded them to.
Here it is. I know it's 'Encornet' and I'm Mor Lawes, but it's all on a theme here ^_^
NOTE: Please not that these pictures do not show everything. They don't show a lot of units, and a few new buildings.
