Just a question. How long before the first game is this? Because I've read a few books and they, with the game suggest that the Confederacy's general population and even people like Raynor and Mengsk didn't know about them. So if it is the Zerg and Protoss they encountered there must be an enormous time gap for them to forget between this time period and the one of the first game. If so then the technology will be extremely different, specially for the Terrans. The Zerg also will have a whole new barrage of evolution forms, the precursors to all the ones present in the game.
I like to think I know quite a bit about the Starcraft universe, I may be wrong.
I'll be making a character once I get a grasp on the big picture.

BTW, St Vlad's is waiting for you.

I may have only played the games not read the books but I think Skyflying-falcon has got a point. Though Imust say that it is possible that this occurred not long before the first game since they are colonising a new planet, their communications may have been damaged and not able to alert anyone of their peril until Mar Sara had already been infested and attacked. Still, I'm probably wrong so I'd like some clarification as well as to exactly when this is set so I might update my character a little to suit it. :P

Sorry to double post but looking at the character sheet he just submitted, I'd say this is about the first ships that came to the Koprulu sector from Earth.
