MENGSK: This is Emperor Mengsk of the Terran Dominion. I wish to parlay with your Executive Officer at once! DUGALLE: So, the elusive Arcturus Mengsk at last. I was hoping to speak with you before we finished our business here. I am Admiral Gerard DuGalle, and I must commend you, Sir, for holding back our advance for as long as you have. You are indeed a worthy opponent. MENGSK: My thanks to you, Sir. But you must know that your victory here means little to me. It might have taken me awhile, but I did overthrow the Confederacy. I'll overthrow your rule as well. DUGALLE: That seems unlikely, Sir, seeing as how you'll be publicly executed along with the rest of your ranking officers. MENGSK: You wouldn't dare! DUGALLE: Hah! The man who crowns himself 'Emperor' speaks to me of daring? You have far outlived your reputation, 'citizen' Mengsk. Captain, prepare to take the Emperor into custody...

[@johnrobson2228]

phattUncleDave's well the zerg destroyed the UED, infested Stukov twice, sort of infested Duran, and caused Dugall to commit suicide. All that is really left of the UED is the commander you play as unless he had perished as well but I cannot recall that.

[@sumerian88]

The Terran 4 theme might have the ''Terran'' label on it. But one thing is certain. As your start the first mission in the BW Terran campaign, this music is chosen as the first to play. Implicitely, it seems to imply that Terran 4 is associated to the United Earth Directorate. You can notice the military/patriotic undertone of the whole thing. It opens up as if you were an expedition that just arrived in a foreign sector, then it picks up with trumpets and drums to symbolize the UED conquest.

[@bernardex]

This specific Terran theme looks inspired by the movie "Stalingrad" main theme, from 1993. Great movie to watch, btw.

[@thousandflowers3144]

That makes sense!

[@olaokolaok]

Exactly what i was thinking. It has a less cowboy-ish theme, and more structured deployment feel to it. This is actually an army. "It opens up as if you were an expedition that just arrived in a foreign sector, then it picks up with trumpets and drums to symbolize the UED conquest." Couldnt have said it better myself.

[@schatzkammerein]

@@bernardex oh wow, it really does, good catch!

[@AmandaFessler]

Yup. This was always the UED theme for me. It spoke not of the wild, untamed, and adventurous feel of the ragtag Koprulu peasant militias, but the COMBINED MIGHT OF THE UNITED EARTH DIRECTORATE.

[@commandermcnash5137]

The original Terran themes got this Wild West frontier vibe, it was about pioneer expeditions going without really much of a plan, exploring, colonizing, each group basically taking whatever they could while alternatively fighting and trading with each other, it was quite chaotic and there was this sense of freedom and adventure, Brood War's theme feel is about conquest, yes, you were still going into the unknown, but not as pioneers to seek a new life in the wilds, but as a true military expedition backed up by a mighty empire, eager for rapacious material conquests and to show its supremacy across the stars.

[@갓혁-x1u]

Yeah It did.

[@NinjaSushi2]

Nice word usage.

[@IzziedeLazales]

Originally they were supposed to have a different tech tree but the fans didn't want that so Blizzard just added a couple new units. They later explained this by saying the expeditionary force used locally available technologies because they would be easier to maintain and replace. The "uuber tachyon lazers" were left behind on Earth.

[@KingOfElectricNinjas]

Makes sense on a few levels really, would more make sense that a separate tech tree would be a lot more trouble to implement- and the excuse holds up with the whole thing of logistics, especially with how far out the Koprulu Sector is meant to be from Earth. Especially since the Terrans are using exactly the same techbase, any special equipment the UED brings from Earth isn't going to last long in sustained warfare if they don't have the capacity to replace it.

You must know that we do not represent one of your rag-tag peasant militias, but the combined might of the United Earth Directorate. Edmund Duke: Earth Directorate!? Er... You mean to tell me that you came all the way out here from Earth? Alexei Stukov : That is correct, General. We have been sent here to take control of this sector for the betterment of mankind.

And a string section for some more somber emotional highlights and to give the crescendos extra staying power. And tragic harp arpeggios as the orchestra dies down in the end.
