so when re-reading the Manual from the Starcraft CD (I say CD because the digital one gives you a BS manual)
you read about the races, and the factions of each race, not to mention the COLOR of the faction.
(again this is going from the manual, SC wiki has a tons more info about this, but sticking to the manual for the time being)
Every race had 6 factions
Factions, Broods, Tribes
Terran- Omega Squadron “the Death's Head Legion” - Black
(Actually in game they are brown, I think this was because they didn't show up properly)
- Nova Squadron - Purple
(Antiga also was purple, but again sticking to the manual)
- Alpha Squadron “the Blood Hawks” - White
(Lead by Duke in fact, if anyone played the Precursor, you play as a LT in Alpha Squad)
- The Sons of Korhal - Red
(Lead by Mengsk, which later turn into Terran Dominion)
- The Umojan Protectorate - Aqua
(The neutral party, and probably my most favorite faction)
- The Kel-Morian Combine - Green
(Actually Teal in the Game)
Now lets not forget the Player, not listed in the Manual, but
- Former Colonial Malitia - Blue
(Lead by Marshal Raynor)
ZERG- Tiamat Brood - Red
(lead by Daggoth)
- Fenris - Green
- Baelrog - White
- Garm - Orange
(lead by Zasz, until He was killed by Dark Templar)
- Jormungand - Teal
- Surtur - Blue
Agains lets not forget the Player, not listed in the Manual, but
- Zerg Swarm? - Purple
(Lead by Cerebrate Player)
Protoss- Ara Tribe - Red
(lead by the Judicator Caste, I think of them as the Royal Guard)
- Akilae Tribe - Green
(lead by the Templar Caste, Well known in sc2)
- Shelak Tribe - White
(lead by the Judicator Caste, I think of them as the Lore Keepers)
- Sargas Tribe - Blue
(lead by the Templar Caste)
- Auriga Tribe - Orange
(lead by the Templar Caste)
- Furinax Tribe - Purple
(lead by the Khalai Caste, aka Labor union)
Last, the Player, not listed in the Manual,
- Fleet of the Executor - Yellow
(Lead by Executor Tassadar, until he helps the Terrans, then The executor becomes the Player)
I will also make a note, The Last Mission in sc1 (not BW), Eye of the Storm (Protoss10) you are Blue, which I have no idea why they did this since every mission you are yellow.
Is is possible to make Factions like Omega Squadren Black?
Why did they not fully use these factions in the Story? (I know for the most part they did, but honestly, not really)
Mutiplayer Factions
Then we have The mutiplayer Factions in the actual game
Color - Terran Name | Zerg Name | Protoss Name
- Red - Elite Guard | Tiamat Brood | Ara Tribe

- Purple - Antiga | Jormungand Brood | Furinax Tribe
- Orange - Delta Squadron | Garm Brood | Auriga Tribe

- White (green on ice maps) - Alpha Squadron (StarCraft), Cronus Wing (Brood War) | Baelrog Brood | Shelak Tribe
- Yellow - Epsilon Squadron | Leviathan Brood | Velari Tribe
I am asking cause I would like to perhaps make my own Campaign as my final project for my sc1 map making, I have always wanted to, but this is project in the distant future, so I would like to discuss it if anyone is up for it.
