A picture is worth a wall of text. But in all seriousness you did a nice job here. A lot of it sounds good but we'll never see a 4th race.

I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.

The work you've done here is awesome. There are some original ideas in there that could work. Although, every unit feels like a 'hero' unit. You need to seriously cull the abilities. And, more info/images on the tech tree and how things are built ingame would help. I hope this is expanded with time; theorycrafting like this is always fun. It makes me want to put my own ideas down :P
Kudos!

I've said it before - I straight up don't like the idea of the 4th race for SC. 3 races somehow feels right to me, and adding another would throw off the balance and the lore in a big way... That being said, what you've come up with is good fun - you've obviously put a lot of work into it, so props for that. This is the sort of thing I would love to see in a custom map, but would be loathe to see in a ladder match.

Great work out there! I see you took many stuff from other games like Warcraft and put them together...nice indeed. While this would be a great idea gamewise it just...isn't Starcraft. I would play it as another game, but definitely, not in Starcraft (unless a custom map).

Wow this is sooooo complicated. Honestly I don't think it's balanceable for multiplayer even if Blizzard would try it, but definitely you have some great ideas there. Are you going to make a Custom Map with your race?
One more thing, I still don't get the concept of "uncontrollable" units (Kindred & Familiar). Where do they come from? What is their purpose? Are they supposed to just "pop" in your base at random? Kind of lame if that's true...
EDIT: Also, a tech tree would be helpful in understanding how is this race supposed to be played...
