The Secret Origin of the Keiron - the Untold Story
We've been keiron fans around here since the day of their first release into the Starcraft 2 universe. One question we always get from Scion fans is "what is the keiron backstory"? We'll I didn't design the keiron and it's not really my story to tell, but with some encouragement, we've finally decided to take a full throttled run at it: the unofficial untold story, begins now.
Numerous credits and thanks needed here:
Solstice for creating the Scion (as well as Gateway and Quoror), Fireally for letting me pick his brain (as someone who worked on this puzzle even before I began to) but also to #forUppbeat for the tunes in this video:

If you're new to keiron and the Scion Custom Races (the genetron, keiron and xayid), here's a short tutorial on how to find and set up the mod so you can play. It's free and perfectly compatible with your existing SCII game.

Consider giving it a 5-star rating, in my humble view the mod deserves it. I certainly don't make it - credit for that goes to Solstice (as well as Gateway and Quoror).

Drop Turrets! Asur [UED] vs Kiwian [APL] - How to Save your Mineral Line

    Something to notice at the 12:30 mark is I don't think Dark's attack was intended to do a lot of damage so much as keep his economy on the back foot. At the end of that exchange, the worker count and income count was rather telling. I paused the video to type this, let's see how telling it becomes.

    You asked why he pulled out the aegis, but it had already used its shield so it was going to die. Also something the keiron could have done better is using aperture (the transport of the keiron) to pull units back to the citadel when they have lost their shield to heal it back, but maybe its too micro intensive im not sure why we dont see it. Also could have used the heal shield unit (sorry forgot the name) with some stacked fuses then pulled the healer unit back instead when it shields deplete

    Despite Amon's defeat in the last war, some of his creations managed to escape destruction. Disorientated and deprived of control, they nevertheless survive and find each other in the Void. Moreover, they began to actively build their own civilization. At the moment, most of them arrive in the Void, but they are increasingly sending expeditions into outer space. One of these is just visible in this recording. It also shows that these Hybrids have mastered the technologies of the Xel'Naga, to an even greater extent than the Ihan'rii, and are actively using them, as well as biotechnology, to achieve goals known only to them. The main problem they face is the inability to reproduce. Hybrids do not die of old age, but they are infertile. Having built many facilities in the Void, and restored some bases lost during the war, they began to raise a new generation. They also raised servant creatures, created from their genetic code to perform basic technical or military tasks. It is unknown what they trying will achieve, but it is likely that they will try to realize the vision of their creator. Since Amon's main goal - breaking the Endless Cycle - was achieved despite his death, perhaps their goal will be to become the dominant race in the universe and take their rightful place among other stars.
