Preface. This campaign is my first attempt for a project telling a story within the realm of SC2 and consisting of multiple singleplayer maps. I hope that I can provide you [player, streamer, watcher] with a fun and enjoyable experience. Dedicated time to spend on this project will vary and be limited mostly due to ofther life-aspects. However when new maps get to the point were I feel satisfied on their state, they will be uploaded/updated depending on the need.
Notice: Blizzard patches can cause the files in this project to break or get wiry. If I find any irregularities I will do my best to fix them, as as such offer a new upload of given files. However if you find anything out of the ordinary, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Starcraft: Time Splitters

General credits are given in the mission launcher.
Story
[History] While their history among the Protoss is largely shrouded in mystery, recorded history shows that the Talon have always been present at the beginning of momentous events, mostly resulting in a war-torn Protoss society. Near the end of the Aeon of Strife when Adun introduced the Khala, the Talon were amongst those who vicously opposed it. Even before the exile of the Nerazim, most of the Talon left Aiur in several supercarriers in order to found a new civilization of their own. Amongst those which were left behind they merged themselves in with the Nerazim and Tal'Darim in order to learn and gather intel.
[Time Splitters] For decades the Talon have kept a shroud of silence around their existence ever since. Many of the mysteriously vanished expeditionary teams of Protoss and terrans alike are the result of relentless destruction by the Talon. However, while there were always tensions between the various subfactions of the Talon, during the last year tensions grew exponentially, leaving the Talon at the edge of a civil war. This story begins on a small backwater planet, where the Annual Combat Event -a yearly ritual for the establishment of Talon rule- is on the verge to begin...
