Stargate SG1/ Starcraft 2 cross?

[okais]

While i was browsing the net i stumble on the starcraft 2 site and saw the new possible units and building for the game. Well one of the redesigned Protoss building caught my interest.

Stargate

Now what if protoss stumbled and found a stargate and somehow modified it for their use. Anyway with the new design in starcraft 2 would it be possible for SG1 to pop up through a protoss stargate thinking it was a deserted area but in truth a protoss base cloaked by a arbiter? what possible interaction would the SG 1 team have with an enigmatic and currently paranoid race of psionics due to the Zergs?

For some reason i keep imagining Apophis getting his ascended ass handed to him when he tries his "bow before your god" stick to a
Twilight Archon

I'd say that it would probably be easier to avoid a Starcraft 2 crossover until the game is out and more is known. However, the Warpgate in Starcraft already looks suspiciously like a Stargate from SG1.

The other major problem is that the Terrans (Allies of the Protoss) are exiles from Earth, the UED came to pretty much force them into submission.

Well... If you don't want to do a massive AU rebuilding the Starcraft timeline by cutting out the Terran, I suppose you can make it work if you changed the "Earth" in Starcraft to some other planet, or you can make the Terran colonies simply just another system with human life and just cut out all of brood war.

The plot's also a sticky point. Do you plan on this fic being a "SG1 in Starcraft Universe" or a "Protoss group in Stargate Universe" fic?

Hmm, true about the starcraft2 game havent come out yet point. Though dont forget about the quantum mirror thing that exist. For all we know the stargate from SG1 might through twist of fate synchronize frequency and connect to a protoss stargate from an alternate dimension which is currently at Starcraft 2 or the first Starcraft period.

Personally, you cant really have a starcraft crossover without all the 3 main faction about duking with each other no?

Plus theres the possiblity that the Xel'naga created the Ancients in SG 1 after the Protoss and Zergs. That could be a reason why some tech used by both Ancient and Protoss looks a little similar. Though the ascended thing which the Ancient learn to do seems to suspiciously similar to what Protoss Templars melding into Archons becomes.

For a good laugh, let the Ancient be the one who exiled the folks of the Dominion and the one sending the UED during Brood War. Not hard considering they are rather similar to human being and the Tauri of SG 1 are their descendants. Hehe, meaning the Ancient were still in their infancy before meeting with the other great races?

Hmm, mechatrill's point about the Protoss group in SG 1 universe does sound possible. Perhaps the Super Carrier Gantrithor which Tarssadar was piloting wasnt actually destroyed? The amount of power being unleashed i wouldnt be surprise if he managed to create a rift hole which the Super Carrier plowed right through it and end up in SG 1. The effect of creating the rift hole pretty much destroyed the overmind.

However that is just theory since no one know what actually happens to protoss who mixes and use both Dark and High Templar energy other than Adun who supposedly Burned himself into nothing from power overwhelming if you read the Dark Templar Saga.

On another note, the escape from the Warp Gate during the Brood Wars? Perhaps a lucky hit from a mutaslisk or hydrasilisk hits the controls and scrambled the actual destination before Raynor breaks the controls with his rifle to prevent zerg from using it. So Raynor, Fenix and other survivors figured since the Zergs did the job of making the Warp Gate unusable they make a run into the portal while leaving a nasty surprise, possibly a nuke. to total the active Warp Gate since they cant shut it down.


Gah i seem to be diverting into a starcraft rather than Starcraft 2. I need to think more on it. So folk please point out plothole or why it cant be possible cause i have a bad habit of not seeing them at times.

One thing I should note: The Starcraft events can't really take place in the Milky Way, after all, the Protoss and Zerg are major powers, and if they were duking it out along with the Terran in the same galaxy as the Goa'uld they'd be on the minds of pretty much every system lord there is, and to accommodate that you'd need to redo the Stargate timeline.

Onto your idead, the Xel'Naga got pretty much wiped out by the Zerg after they created them, so creating the Ancients after that seems a bit unlikely. Although... What if the Xel'Naga were the Ancients, or the Furlings? Although there are problems with that, since after the Zerg pretty much assimilated the Xel'Naga, they got their knowledge too (that's where they found out about the Protoss), so that means that the rest of the 4 Great Races would be known to and, by extention, be a target of the Zerg.

Myself, I like the Gantrithor warp idea, but your points against it holds. Instead, why don't we replace the Gantrithor with a Protoss Mothership instead. Make the method of transportation an arbitor experiment gone wrong or mysterious space event. That would work out fairly well, but it'd cut out most of the events of Starcraft to backstory. The Rayner/Fenix warpgate idea works too, and with that, you can simply make it a power surge and send them to the Milky Way galaxy from wherever Aiur is, and have their group settle on a planet that'll eventually be contacted by SGC.

On Starcraft II, I agree with SotF. You won't have much of a basis to work from until the game comes out.

I'm still at that point where I hope that it does come out, Ghost was all but complete when they scrapped it, the same thing that happened with Lord of the Clans.
