I've finished reading the first 3 chapters and gotta say they're very well written. The story feels fast paced but not rushed and also tell the urgency of the situation they're in. The interactions between characters feel very natural and go with the flow of the story without breaking immersion. Along with the explanation of a lot of StarCraft lore through dialogue and discussion between squad members without feeling like an info dump is really hitting al the good spot. That's my thought so far, I can't wait to see what's to come in the next chapters. Keep up the great work.

Hey, thanks! It's been an idea I've had rattling around in my head for a while and wanted to work on honing my skills here.

I will follow your career with great interest!

I was slightly disappointed by the usage of translation magic. Why? Because from my reading experience it's a cheap and lazy way of making first contact easier, that's both my and some's opinion. But as I continue reading that disappointment turns into praise due to how good your writing is.

Most stories I've read the author introduces language barrier problem and instantly invalidate/solve it by the usage of translation magics and never mentioned it again. Your story however maintains that problem consistently by establishing that only and all changeling know the spell which make Dory's and the changeling role even more important and also make the Terrans rely on them until the main forces arrive and they could get some kind of translation machines/devices work on. This is a 10/10 wrting right here. Not many can keep their story this consistent both from lore and plot wise.

From the dialogue and interaction I can see that Discord and quite possibly Celestia know about Braxis/Khyrador and have some connections to the Protoss. These details really makes for quite a good foreshadowing and keep the story interesting and keep the reader head thinks deeply and theorize.

I'm looking forward to seeing the next chapters.

This was pretty nice.

Hell yeah, time to fuck up the ZERG!! Honestly, this story needs more views and comments.

Do any of the canon Starcraft characters appear in this story?

Yeah long with rest of mlp characters too

I mean... do you count the player characters from SC1? If so then yes, but only because there's so little lore about them that they might as well just be an OC since they were just meant to be self-insert characters for the player. Otherwise, I never intended to (other than the occasional cameo of Valerian) since it takes place 20 years after the games.

I think he mean characters from starcraft 2

How come you didn’t have Thorax read and react to Queen Formicidae letter and why’d didn’t you add him, his brother, his changedling and others characters in the story too?

Mainly because I don't plan on having them play a major part in the story. I'm trying not to go too overboard with characters, especially since I already feel like I'm working with more than enough. This little letter is really meant more to set the stage than introduce characters, which is honestly why I left out the original bit about the recipient's reaction to the attack on the hive. Then again, depending on where the story goes I might add it back in if it's appropriate. Part of the whole reason I'm doing this is to practice my writing skills, so mistakes and changes are probably definitely gonna be made.

Hopefully I don't sound too detached from reality.

Right… anyway when we’ll will see the Protoss joining with the Terran reinforcements?

If I remember correctly the only way to kill cerebrate is with the powers of Dark Templar.

Am I right?

IIRC, that was only because the Overmind would resurrect them. Once it died, they they could be killed conventionally, like in the Terran campaign of Brood War. As for the Protoss showing up, well, no spoilers ;)

I’m be meaning to ask, where and when this story take place?

11817910
StarCraft timeline, about 20 years after the events in the games. MLP timeline, maybe a year or so after the series. As far as where, I'm kinda planning on the main group going all over Equestria. As in, by the time reinforcements show up basically the entire planet is going to be involved in some way.

Sorry what I’m mean is which season do this story takes place from?
