Can anyone tell me where this info is from and if it's canon or not?

[Equiliari]

Vultures canonically can go at speeds of 230 mph, so its not completely outlandish.(I think it was brought up in Liberty's crusade.)

They can also fly, as shown in Issue #2 of the StarCraft Comic by Wildstorm.
I do regard that comic as canon.

Really? Do you know where I could see it or buy it?

[Norfindel]

I don't think that's canon, and that Goliath looks too much advanced. Reporting external air conditions to the user? It's not like the damn thing will be deployed without any support at all, and i expect the pilot to wear a sealed protection suit, anyways, but i see how that can be useful in an RPG.

About the Vulture, the speed is on the Starcraft compendium itself, so it's canon:

The reliable Vulture-Class Hover Bike, used primarily for scouting and patrol, can reach speeds of up to two hundred and thirty miles per hour. Standard armament is an anti-personnel grenade launcher, but newer Vulture models also carry a Spider Mine deployment system for perimeter defense.

That's 370 Km/h. Drive safe

Is it truly from the Starcraft RPG, or is it just used in other fan-made RPG games?

That isn't from the StarCraft RPG. Honestly, if the StarCraft RPG had that kind of detail in it, it wouldn't have sucked nearly so much.

120mph? Going off of what I've seen from the Battletech universe, that's ridiculous even for the lightest and fastest mechs, which are normally around 100kph. Anybody know how much the Goliath is supposed to weigh?

[Pandonetho]

It's a walker, there's no sense in comparing it to a Vulture which is a hover craft not impeded by rough Terrain. It is absolutely ridiculous that it can run at 120 MILES per hour.

You have a point there, but I can actually picture a Goliath running at those speeds, even as weird as it may seem.

I always knew I was born without common sense.

[PhanttoM]

I can only agree - It's rediculous to the point of being a cartoonish joke.

There's no way anything two-legged is ever gonna be running at those speeds. Two legs means limited traction, reguardless of weight and/or engine power.

Sure do
Here:
Vultures
More Vultures
Even more of them
They are everywhere!
Nooooooo...last one

Also... The cheetah runs at half of the supposed goliath speed, I am sure fine tuned hydraulics and a superbs sensory system can push the goliath up in quite the impressive speeds.
The jump 3 meters high should be doable... we have 4 legged robots that can jump almost half that hight with todays technology:

SC is afer all 200 years in the future.

Wait, 120 mph? I read that as kilometers, not miles. That's one hell of a stretch.

Now, to delve deeper into this site and find out what else I forgot...

Oh yeah, haha! This setting has given Khalai control over psi, while Dark Templar -- and zerg by extension -- are granted magical abilities.

I remember another RPG that explored the period of zerg internecine and various cerebrates grappling with the loss of the Overmind. It was pretty interesting. I'll see if I can't find it. I think either Mya Thevendra or another legendary SC fan worked on it.

EDIT Interesting timeline I found.


Alright people, we need to get our own SC RPG going.
