I'm going to begin writing the concept for the campaign, Iv been brainstorming it for the last few days. The goal pretty much is going to be to continue the stories of the "Commander" "Cerabrate" and "Executor" From Sc1-bw and cover what they were doing and where they were during the events of WOL and HOTS with an expansion eventually bringing there stories to a conclusion (But this expansion would come after LOTV) Now i know alot of fan speculation has been spread around as to what happened to them etc, some say artanis was the executor and the cerabrate died etc, this wont be a cannon story just a hopefully likable story that satisfies fans of the original game.
Id like to do it in sc-1 mission briefing style similar to SCMR and keep it more like the original then the sequel, If anyone would like to pitch some ideas, and help form this story feel free to add your opinions and feedback, eventually we will need people to make in game cutscenes and some map making etc, i will mainly focus on the story/research and try to keep it true to how they're stories left off to continue them in a way i feel is true to the original story If anyone would like to contribute to this please do so!
In conclusion we will start small, the first focus will be on the story of the Commander. Probably between 5-10 missions, Same for zerg and protoss. The end of the stories will have to wait and see how LOTV effects things.
FYI, the Cerebrate in Episode 2 is killed by Tassadar between the canon episodes 2 and 3. The Cerebrate of canon episode 6 is a different Cerebrate that Kerrigan eventually kills when she eradicates all the remaining Cerebrates according to Blizzard lore. Maybe there could be a story of the Cerebrate before she kills it or something.
The Executor from episode 3 is Artanis I'm pretty sure, and in Episode 4 is Selendis, so these have sort of been covered by existing lore.

They sloppily came up with what happened to them, including Artanis, Artanis introduces himself to you at the beginning of the second protoss campaign while the other two Zeratul and Aldaris both still talked to you like the same ole executor the perspective never changed. They have later tried changing that and saying that it was in fact Artanis, but i literally just finished the first protoss campaign and right before that played all the way through the T-Z campaigns to re-familiarize myself with it all. All the Cerabrates where killed so that they couldn't attempt to become a new overmind and take control from kerrigan. She then replaced them with her version of Queens, Which are like her Cerabrates. I'm doing my research, If there is strong evidence that any of them died then part of that particular scenario will be to explain how and why. The cerabrate you played as was created for one purpose, to see that kerrigan was protected and fulfilled her purpose but with the overmind dead, like the other cerabrates he would have been compelled to reform a new overmind with his own flesh.
If i cant find proof that zeratul killed him in the game from some source other then blizzard saying yea, hes dead. Then i will continue that story "non-cannon" of course eventually leading to him trying to fight kerrigan for control, Perhaps he was in hibernation this entire time hiding from her "This story will take place during wol and hots" Once Kerrigan starts acting like a human again in hots that would give any cerabrate a reason to start a fight, she quit acting towards the zergs true goal, assimilating the protoss.
As i said this will be as true to the ORIGINAL as possible, im not going to accept blizzards half assed explanations as to what happened to our charecters.
So far what iv come up with a need for is
T1-Commander-Total unknown
Z1-Cerabrate-Possibly killed by Zeratul
P1-Executor-Supposedly Artanis but in the original BW this doesn't add up
P2-Executor-I'm convinced this is the same character from p1, go replay sc1-2 and formulate your own opinion
T2-U.E.D Captain, Possibly at conflict with the commander from T1(Maybe a fugitive working for mira han?, Maybe infested Along with Alexi)
Z2-Cerabrate-Possibly the same from Z1, Either way hid from kerrigan until the events of Wol
Still forming it all together got more research to do.
