The Battle Craft mod is a sci-fi mod set in the year 3204 and human colonization has spread far out into the Sirius and Alpha Centauri star systems. The mod is inspired by several sci-fi games and movies such as Starcraft, Serenity and our imagination.
The mod will make the player able to choose to fight for the Strauss Military Federation (SMF), Aliens and the Shavee Kro. Each race will have their own unique weapons, abilities and attributes such as increased speed for the Aliens, shields for the Shavee and stimpacks for the Humans.
The mod will be multiplayer only and might include COOP maps. The server rotation will have a "Campaign mode" which sets the new map according to which team has won.
Maps will be vary between open battlefields to narrow corridors in space ships and will have a story line.

Races
SMF Humans are equiped with ranged weapons and exoskeletons to combat the foe. These soldiers are often basic militia troops protecting the colonies on the various planets. The colonist galaxy is protected by a spread-thin fleet trying to fight increased alien activity.
The Imperial fleet has just recently invaded the Protectors' homeplanet in the Sirius system but are facing new dangers in the Alpha Centauri system.
Thier classes will be:
Colonial guard
Colonial medic
Mercenary grunt
Imperial commando
Colonial Grease monkey

Shavee Kro are honourable warriors fighting to regain their homeplanet from the humans and to gain honor. Their planets are rich on resources and are well defended. The pro'zul are highly intelligent and have invented shield and warp technology. Their blades are made of clean energy able to cut through the toughest metal. Their somewhat fragile bodies are protected by shields to avoid harm and can be recharged. They have developed dangerous plasma weapons.
The Shavee Kro classes will be:
Zealot
Acolyte
Superior
Energy Craftman
Negotiator

Aliens are a new aggressive species attacking human facilities in the Alpha Centauri system. Reports from an attacked space station tells how the parasite like aliens attach to their host's head and make the host mutate rapidly into deadly fighting machines. They seem resistant to pain, but are weak if the parasite itself is hit.
The alien classes will be:
Drone
Spitter
Beserker
Tender
Infiltrator

Well we have already worked out a way to have the players effect the next map by winning. What we cant understand is why DICE didnt do this to begin with.

Its only a Media release hehe, not a mod release if anyone thinks that. ;)

Ah Bagah you are correct, all though we have had a picture of a fourlegged mech on our forums (removed it today since we havent decided on any Shavee mechs yet).

There has been a small spelling mistake however. The Shavee Kra are actually The Shavee Kro... Will change this now

Looking forward to this week. IF everything goes well, we should have a release at the end of this week, just before im going on vacation. But nothing is for sure!

This looks like its gonna be a pretty good mod, been watchin it for awhile now.

Also, to everyone who's been saying that the Shavee Kra are almost exactly like the Protoss from SC, there are differences.

For one thing, the zealots name is NOT copyrighted, or even made by blizzard. As has already been said, it's just SC players who put the two together.

Also, the zealots weapons are NOT plasma. They were generated by channeling their psionic energies though a crystal on their forearms. Only their shields were plasma.

@ DrunkenSCV
There hasn't been any mention of 4 legged mechs for the Kra...........

Im sorry to say that the mediarelease is being prosponed...
We simply need more time to finish up some drawings and the content of our new website (it will have plenty juicy background material).
A week should be sufficient :)

Also. We wont be having a monthly update or anything regular like that. We will release our media when we think it is ready and it has been processed with the whole mod team. We are not making money on this and the work is completely made by people who use their precious spare time hours for this mod.

We have a website in production (by ultimate and Nephrmuus, who has taken a more backseat role) , and our concept for the humans is progressing (all concept artists). As well as this, background information on the story is being developed (by myself and Hamsterjoe)

Indeed, we have not released anything yet. But it takes time to design everything from scratch, especially when our small team is not working full time on the mod.
