For a thousand years, humanity has fought in the Infinite War - a three way factional struggle between the United Earth Federation, the Aeon Illuminate and the Cybran Nation. Though freed from resource limitations, each faction has an irreconcilable ideological difference with the other. They will only stop with total and complete victory.

General Samantha Clarke has been fighting the Infinite War her whole life. She has fought it from the cockpit of an Armored Command Unit - the centerpiece of modern war - and she has fought it from behind a desk. But now, something has shaken the galaxy to its foundations: A signal, beamed from a sector of space impassible to quantum teleportation.

The signal is from a world called Mar Sara.

It is human in origin.

And they say they're at war with aliens...

As General Clarke, you will lead the expeditionary force from Earth into the Koprulu Sector, with one goal: Protect humanity. But what will it cost you?

I've been playing too much Starcraft 2. My brain is now made of Starcraft. Anyway, this is a Starcraft/Supreme Commander crossover! I don't know every last canon detail beyond playing both games, so, if something's in, like, a book? And I don't know it? Tough shit! Fuck that book! It's now in the fireplace. It's burning. Oh no! Your book is on fire!
Rules!

1) Write Ins are Okay unless I say they aren't!
2) Democracy is the way to go, but if there's multiple choices, please use a plan vote.
3) If there are mature scenes, I will spoiler them!

  • [X] Plan: Slow It Down
    [X] Operation: Hunker Down
    [X] Operation: Long Term Plans
    [X] Plan: Walls Forever!
    [X] Plan: Walls Forever! Build engineers to keep building more and more walls around the ultralisk until the orbital platform hits and takes them both out. Continue with the rescue.
    [X] Operation: Aggressive Turtling - cash in your Economic Outpost sparks to get +3 to buying gear, then buy Turrets for diff 9, taking 4 heat to do so. Then, attack the Mutalisks with your vehicle weapon skill. Augmented by turrets, your damage and range work as secondary characteristics, negating their people (3) to nothing! Diff 5+1 vs your skill of 2 allows you to succeed for 4 heat, putting you at 2 overheat - adding +1 Shock and dropping your heat to 0.
    [X] Operation: Drone Extermination
    [X] When You Have a Hammer - build a Klink Hammer (T2 artillery installation) and use it to bombard the zerg defensive line
    [X] Multiple Smaller Hammers - build a fleet of Lobos (T1 mobile light artillery) and use them to bombard the zerg defensive line
    [X] Asmodeus
    [X] Plan: The highest ground
    -[X] Use the Planning sparks and Leadership skill to create Air Transport sparks on ourselves and the parashields.
    -[X] Use the Economic Structures sticky spark to make Charging sparks for ourselves.
    [x] Plan: Slow It Down - use your nanofabricate skill and your Planning sparks vs diff 1 to create Mass 6 (Mass 6 (Big Cube 4) to try and slow the Ultralisk down. Then begin to charge up your antimatter cannon by using Vehicle Weapon vs diff 1+1 to create Charging 1 spark, then take 6 more heat to create even more Charging sparks. Then turn your Economic Structures into Charging 6, to give you a total of 13 Charging sparks. Vent 6 heat using Just as Planned to get 1 Planning Spark - and plan to charge some more. (You need to be able to get 24 Charging sparks in total to blast through the Ultralisk's durability.
    [X] Plan: Killbox - Pin the zerg experimental in place by surrounding it in calcicrete walls and switch the land factory over to building Flapjack mobile missile launchers. Direct the produced MMLs towards bombarding the monster with cruise missiles.
