Xel'naga worldship spotted?-wildly speculative

Disclaimer: This whole thread should be read in a "Could it be?" voice, so just pretend your in Lost while you read it. Taken from SC2 armory. You may want to look at that thread so I don't have to repeat myself. Please keep the following quote in mind as well.

"When all other possibilities have been removed, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth."


I am very hesitant to post this, because I make a genuine effort not to see thing that aren't there, by which I mean, many big lore fans such as myself will jump to conclusions about what they're seeing in a screenshot or a piece of art and make wild conclusions based on it. That being said, I think I noticed possibly a very significant detail in on of the art pieces by the newest member of Sons of the Storm

Here's the gallery, the individual image wasn't loading right, so you'll have to load it yourself, it's the first image under his SC pictures.

It's not a new picture, but I never paid much attention to the 2 giant sphere's in the top left before. They look like two Deathstars hovering over a battlefield, at first I though it might be the night side of another planet, and the light's were simple city light's, but there are several huge flaws with that theory, first you'll notice there are two of them, appearing very similar to each other, plus the planet on which the actual battle seen is taking place, that would make it 3 planets in very close proximity to each to each other, such a planetary system is incredibly rare and we've never heard of anything like it at all in the SC Universe. Another significant issue is that they appear to be a part of the battle, you can see they are either being fired upon, or are firing what must be huge weapons to be visible at this distance, if they were planets then they would just be too far to hit with anything, and I don't think there's any ships at all that could set off an explosion that large from orbit, point being they must be closer than trianary planets are too each other for that kind of firepower to be interchanged, therefore, they are not planets, but space ships or moons of some kind.

I don't believe they're moons for two reasons, the first is simply that it seems highly unlikely that two moons would be lining up like that, which isn't a very good reason, the second is that in the bottom left of the image you can see the sun setting behind the sphere's meaning that they're dark side would be facing us, so unless they're in the atmosphere they'd be invisible.

The Terran do not have anything close to that large, even if it is close enough for to be fired upon they are huge, and as far as we know there aren't any spherical Terran ships at all, certainly not military. I really don't think they're Protoss either, if only because they don't look Protoss, they are far more industrial, not all gold and blue like the Khalai, or Dark and green/purple like the Dark Templar. There's only one other race with this kind of technology, and as it so happens, they have a kind of ship that would probably look like that, although we've never seen one or heard a description, except that they are huge. The Xel'naga Worldships. They used them to literally travel across Dark Space to our galaxy and lived out of them for thousands (millions?) of years. All we know is that they were huge, and it's a very easy leap that they were called "worldships" because, to the primitive Protoss, they resembled entire worlds. I'd guess that they look just like those giant sphere's in the artwork, and that when the Xel'naga wake up, they may just reactivate their worldships again, as seen here.

I'm posting this because I'd like as much feedback as possible, if those are worldships, it's a huge deal, thoughts?

I think someone replaced the powdered sugar on your jelly donuts with crack.

Comon man, as first poster you have a responsibility, now everyone in this thread will dismiss it. Troglodytes. You should really look at the original thread on SC2armory, I actually convinced a couple people, on the internet, you no how hard it is to convince people online, where they can just stop talking if they realize they're wrong?

I don't believe they're moons for two reasons, the first is simply that it seems highly unlikely that two moons would be lining up like that, which isn't a very good reason, the second is that in the bottom left of the image you can see the sun setting behind the sphere's meaning that they're dark side would be facing us, so unless they're in the atmosphere they'd be invisible.

Or its just simply an art screw up.

Alright sorry, I was a dick there.
I'm pretty sure those are just moons and or other planets, they dont look remotely mechanical or living. tho we dont know much about how a world ship would look like it could be a entire planet converted into a ship tho I'm pretty sure at that point they would look less like a planet and more like a actual mechanical object we as these look more like a planet.

as for the bit about them being fired on or firing I dont believe that to be true I think what you are seeing is debris from the nuke going off.

I would think that a Xel'Naga ship would be a lot like a protoss ship. Not some boring old circle, but a highly decorated ship.

Those could be moons. The one at the top has a huge crater-impact (and looks too big to be a moon, but it's just a drawing). They seem to have explosions on their surface, but it wouldn't be unlikely for a sci-fi conflict to escalate to the moons, specially because the Zerg could have used them to build their stuff.

They could be Xel'Naga worldships, or not.

About the dark side of the Moon, we call it like that, because our Moon have synchronized movement with the Earth, and we never see that side, but it's as frequently lit (and unlit) by the Sun as the side we see all nights.

IIRC, this are the two moons of Mar Sara.

The fact that we know them as moons, doesn't ensures that there is any spacecraft within.

I know this is highly, highly unlikely, but does anyone else hope that the Xel'Naga's 'world ship' will be something like this? You've got to admit, when it comes to epically awesome sci-fi, no one does it quite like Gene Roddenberry.
