: Or any of the games, they have some very marathon like plotlines and such
: (I'm not sure whic came first, but I think it was star control)
: THe Precursors were Star Controls Jarro, a supposedly exctinct race that left
: behind artifacts of great power.(But why?)
: It also has a version of the Pfhor, the Ur-Quan. These insectoid guys were
: extrememly powerful and inteligent(their war-like nature lessend it
: though). However, they became enslaved by the Gedhi, monkey guys who could
: control minds. They knocked out several races while under mind control,
: including the Taalo, the only race they ever truly liked. The Gedhi even
: split the race in two, the black Ur-Quan were fighters, and the green were
: the scientists (the origional brown Ur-Quan are now exctinct) Eventually,
: they broke free, crushed the Gedhi, and de-evolved them into helper
: monkies. The Ur-Quan vowed never to be enslaved again, but thay had
: differing ideas about how to accomplish this. The black Ur-Quan Kohr-Arh
: wanted to exterminate all other sentient life. The green Ur-Quan Kezr-Rah
: wanted to remove the possibility of another race every threatening it. SO
: they split, The Black going in one direction of thespiral of the (galaxy,
: universe, I forget) and the Green the other. The Black commited total
: genocide against any race they encountered. The Green agy any race they
: met two options: Join them as a Battle Thrall, or have their planet placed
: under the impenetrable Slave Sheild. Theres a lot more but I can tell you
: don't lile the Ur-Quan as much as me so If your not yet bored..
: The Eternal Ones. The W'rkrncacnter. The eternal ones would come every(insert
: realy realy long time here) and devour all sentient life in the known
: universe. Only three races have survived these attacks. The Arilou because
: they hid like the pansies they are( I hate em). The Orz because they hid
: also( These guys make good story page fodder, if you've played you know
: what I mean) And the Precursors. Unlike the Arilou and Orz, who could hide
: outside the universe(somehow). The Precursors hada brilliant plan, they'd
: just de-evolve the entire race to just below sentience and let evolution
: bring them back up after the eternal ones were gone.
: One final bit, the Eternal Ones had a true name that was expresed in a
: equation that included everything about them. To a race such as the
: Daktaklakpak, who were robots, every races true name was expressed in an
: equation. This made the True Name of The Eternal Ones very important to
: them. However, the true name was either so complex or so perfect that it
: drove whatever read it stark raving mad. The Daks either didnt know this
: or didnt care. One of the most memorable moments (and quotes) in the game
: was when a Dak read the True Name and, just before self-destructing,
: screamed this: "NOW I SEE!!! Now....I.......KNOW!!!!!!
: (works a lot better with the sound effects I assure you)
god i had fun with this game:)
brings back fond memories.
also the urquan vessel was baced on battle star galactica and so was the terran battle cruiser:)
also the precursor were suppose to be re-evolved by the Daktaklakpack but the daks changed their minds and search'ed for the eternal ones names.
