Check this out (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Control)
It’s an online Encyclopedia where the people who browse it can edit anything they want. It’s very impressive but the part on the Star-Control series needs a little help, and since allot of people who visit this forum have allot of time on their hands I think you guys could help with this.

Yeh, it's nifty all right. I've been a member for quite a bit. The Star Control entry is pretty good but several articles of single races clearly need some help. Given that this is a board for SC2 fanatics, perhaps we could do something about this?

Well,
i do not know if it is needed to fill the Wikipedia pages with every detail of our SC-universe.

Well, i guess it is, seeing that the Gg, Burvixese, Algolites and all those dead/eliminated/not appearing ones have their entrance already.

Lovely, quite complete list of SC-oriented themes there...

Anyway, thanks for bringing t back to my attendance (i knew of the entrance already).

Enjoy,
Krulle

Any idea if that red-orange thing in the back is supposed to be an Ur-Quan?

Maybe its the umgah? Remember, the Umgah bio-engineer themselves, maybe its a hand to hand invasion troop?

I heard it was meant to be a a Ur-Quan, but the artist messed it all up..

Also note the Spathi, Syreen and Yehat ships totally messed up...

I would guess that it's the VUX beast.

Alternately, some artist was just given vague descriptions of the ships and a blank check.
