Old Xel'naga Theories

With Christie Golden's final novel for Starcraft: The Dark Templar Sage: Twilight, only a week away from release now. June 30th.
Those' who been reading up Medievaldragon's spoiler posts at Blizzplanet, Starcraftwire, or my other thread here should be all well aware of that the long awaited secrets of the Xel'naga we been waiting for 12 years be (mostly) revealed at last!

Will we learn the Xel'naga reasons behind the Protoss & Zerg experiments. This cycle that soon to come, bring doom to the universe. The return of the mysterious man Samir Duran? (Ulrezaj's boss?) Hybrid role in the comic order and Xel'naga fate/role. Kerrigan's rebirth in the Swarm helped in the Hybrid creation.


So I like any old theories that the SC:L community be posted here and discuss before that big day crashes them all to dust. New ideas and go though the SC timeline to pick up anything anonymous events to discuss over.

I dont read any of the books but can anyone fill me up on Duran after the brood war? I really liked him. His voice actor was also top notch.

All of the voices of SC1 were top notch and professional including almost every game unit as well, IMO.

I wouldn't call them "top notch" but they were good for a game released in 1998.

To each their own. I loved all the voices in SC1, they all matched their character.

*sigh* I had this long outline I was writing sometime back, envisioning an origin story for the Xel'Naga. I was never able to complete it, though. But it involved the Xel'Naga rising against their own apathy against an interstellar threat, alongside another young species that helped them establish their rule over the galaxy. This threat would later merge with the 'Naga (unbeknown to them) and travel with them to the Milky Way. This threat was also the reason the 'Naga seeded life throughout the galaxy - as a repentance for their sins in their home galaxy. Also, the worldships were alive.

I really should finish that outline...

The xel'naga technology is often biotech, so maybe the worldships are alive...

Maybe worldships have their own ecosystem,etc.? :P

No information about him after Brood War IIRC.

Hybrids should look like Species 8472 from Star Trek lol.

The xel'naga's primary intent was to engineer a being that possessed purity of essence and purity of form, and to this end they traveled the galaxy, altering many interesting species they had encountered. However, each time they met with failure.

I always thought the ancient Mayans/Aztec human ciliations were one of many 'failed experiments' of the Xel'naga while seeking the Purity of Form. And look at their civilization, beliefs, temples, knowledge of the cosmos, etc to the ancient Auir protoss by the Makers.
I'm pretty sure there was something about Kulkulcan leaving Earth in one myth, who never return.

Who knows how many other 'failed' species the Xel'naga created in the galaxy that survive to this day.
