Story
A strange world, bathed in Twilight, has been found in the middle of the universe. It is very rich in mineral deposits. The Protoss, Terran, and Zerg have each sent colonists to the world, to take it for their own. The colonists, in orbit, send down troops, build fortifications, and try to gain control of the world.
Gameplay
Each player will choose a race at their start, then get a dropship, overlord, or shuttle, corresponding to their race. Using these, players will battle for the world, sending down troops, building fortifications, making temples to their gods, laying minefields, and more. Each race will get its own set of unique abilities, and also a set of generic abilities.

Screenshots
Zerg initiating an attack on a Terran Weapons Platform (those four missile turrets and the six tanks follow the weapons platform wherever it goes).
The Zerg are allied against the poor terrans, and the weapons platform tries to run away.
The Zerg have taken over one of the mineral fields, even placed an Overmind there.
The Terrans initiate an attack on the zerg settlement, but it looks like it's failing.
The Terrans bombard a zerg outpost with a weapons platform from a clifftop, but the Zerg come in, making broodlings out of the terran's men.
Chaos. Two terrans vie for control of the middle, then the Protoss come in from the south.
The Protoss may steal the Terran and Zerg's more advanced abilities while flying over them (those abilities being constructing weapons platforms and Overminds).
The Protoss attack a Terran Weapons Platform.
The Terrans try to destroy the Protoss' Temple to Adun. If the protoss can keep a temple to Adun up for ten minutes, then Adun will be summoned. As you can see in this screenshot, it only has to live for one more minute.
Adun has been summoned, and he isn't happy. He just destroyed a whole Terran base without any support.
Looks like Adun's anger made him too cocky. The Terrans are finally taking him down.

Please post any bugs you may find here, as I wasn't able to get thorough enough testing. It should be semi-well balanced, though.
