Talk:Terran

From StarCraft Wiki

We should probably create a category for Terran characters since they are getting mixed up in Category:Terrans and ":Category:Terran units". {{SUBST:User:Bub/sig}} 00:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prehistory Incorrect Term?

I think it should be noted that in this article as well as in the Zerg and Protoss articles "prehistory" in an incorrect term to use for the backstory. Prehistory specifically means prior to written history (as can be seen here). The original meaning for history specifically meant written records. Hence prehistory is before those records came into existence. Therefore I recommend for accuracy's sake that all references to be prehistory be modified to "history" or backstory. Any other suggestions? 03:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC) Niirfa-sa

This thing should have a part where they lost to Kerrigan on Omega and a Starcraft II part.(Assaulthead 12:26, 28 September 2007 (UTC))

The purpose of this article is only to cover Terran backstory. As you can see, the StarCraft Prequel comes next.--Hawki 12:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terrans from Earth?

I didn't see anything referring to Terrans referring to only people from the K-Sector in the manual. Even if it says something different on battle.net or what not, Brood War made the term synonymous with humans. The game takes precedence. PsiSeveredHead 12:39, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I finally found proof in Uprising. Please be very careful about the terminology of Terran, as it's quite controversial here. PsiSeveredHead 00:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

What is controversial? I know that Uprising is canon (with minor errors), but it cannot compete with the game story. Raynor and Koprulu terrans are refered as "humans" by protoss (Zeratul and Fenix), and the UED is also named " these terrans" by Zeratul. There are no problems whith naming UED simply as "terrans". 91.193.208.102

However, the UED never uses the word terrans. As far as I can tell, from the Uprising quote, the humans in the K-Sector started calling themselves terrans, almost as a cultural name. Human is appropriate because they're still humans. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) 12:25, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Whole story?

As it looks now it's only terran history BEFORE the events of starcraft, shouldn't we have the terran history DURING starcraft too? We have up-to-date history on bothe the Zerg article and the Protoss article.

The Terrans are generally too divided for a single history, both in terms of factions and locations. Besides, much of the history is continued in the StarCraft Prequel--Hawki 20:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

The Protoss are similarly divided. The Protoss article refers to the Protoss of Aiur; the Dark Templar have their own article.

And on that note, Terran technology references really belong in their own articles. PsiSeveredHead 23:42, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
