[SZ] StarCraft2.com Update: Char Planet

[RSS Feeds 50]

Blizzard recently updated the official StarCraft 2 website with new information regarding the Zerg's homeplanet, Char. Statistical information is given and a brief synopsis of the charred landscape the Zerg call their home.

  Char was formerly one of the thirteen core worlds of the Confederacy, but it is most notorious as the primary hive planet of the alien zerg. Upon its discovery, Char was found to be an inhospitable volcanic planet with thick ash covering most of its surface and tainting its acrid atmosphere. The hazardous environment is further intensified by extremely high levels of cosmic radiation from Char's volatile pairing of binary stars, a class VI F0 sub dwarf orbiting an M8 irregular variable. Char's elliptical orbit means whole regions of its sunward face can become molten seas during a close approach, with temporary islands forming in them due to rapid cooling as the planet swings away to the frozen outer reaches of the system.

I guess in StarCraft 2 the Zerg are immune to fire instead of weak to it and they eat ore instead of meat, huh?

[Crafterz 31]

I think the zerg will be a lot more like the flood in SC2, i dont know why, just have thing weird feeling

[Azu 24]

Oh.. I didn't know the flood could thrive with no meat or plants or water or anything.. guess I missed that part.

[Crafterz 31]

they're an infectious disease lol

 

They dont need sustenance. Only like the gravemind does.

[Azu 24]

I thought infectious diseases lived on organic matter?

I didn't know they thrived on molten rock..

this is starcraft... anything can happen.

Except in Starcraft the Zerg are weak to fire and live off of other liveforms, not rocks.

 

If they just ate rocks then none of the other races would have a problem with them..
