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

Hmm yes at first we wanted to make a complete copy of the Starcraft universe but realized that we wanted our own mod and avoid lawsuits :P
So now we are only getting inspiration from Starcraft and make our own models and units.
We hope to get a Concept art release out in october that you can feast your eyes on. Although it has been busy times with work and education we are still working hard to get a media release ready.
The About section will also be updated.

Thanks to Hicks, we now have a better website and it has been updated!
Also the Alien story is complete, it is written as a medical journal from the colonian defense station Tycho.
Only need the protector story finished up.

Hehe thanks for the comments guys.
I'm Surprised that you found the mod :D We hope to get a concept art update on the newspage as soon as possible.
If you look at the Forums you can find the human background story and soon the alien aswell.
And again the aliens arent aliens from AVP, but smaller parasites mutating their hosts into what is needed. Unlike the AVP aliens, the BC aliens doesnt use humans as hosts for breeding but for fighting.

Although it does have some similarities with AVP, the aliens and protectors in this mod will be quite different than the aliens from AVP. Just want to make that clear so people don't think this IS an AVP mod.

Although, an AVP mod would be cool.
