This mod idea started between me and one of my friends (who is no longer a part of the team.) This mod, unlike my other mod (Dark Era) will be a total conversion (and this one isn't dead,) not just a minor mod that replaces a few units. In this mod, every unit will be replaced. If all goes as planned, even the terrain and critters will be replaced.
The Terran are to be replaced by the Iron Wolves Empire, a human faction that formed recently and is building in power. Several new units for the Iron Wolves Empire are the Selveris Assault Cruiser, the Hellstorm Tank, the VV-X Raider, the GX-2 and GX-3c assualt mechs, the R-20 Scythe ATF and the R-21 Carver Missileboat.
The Protoss are going to be replaced with the Earth Federal Forces or EFF. The primary human power in the universe, second most powerful in the universe, seconded by the Veline Federation (not in this mod, just wait until future projects.) Several of their units are the SL-3 Slicer scout fighter, SL-4 Slayer Stealth Fighter, M-92 Bomber, Magnus War Cruiser, Thor Gunship, Crossbow Cruiser and Eagle 4 Mobile Factory.
The Zerg are going to be replaced by the Regine Empire, a human faction that had been defeated in a war recently. They use an army consisting of mindless drones made of a strange, living black metal of unknown origins as well as humans ships with this metal intergrated into the hull. Several of their units are the Sincla Mega-Gunship, RipFighter, Deathfish and Vortex. There are also two campaign only units, the Toronamus and the SinBlast Mega-Gunship.
Current 3d models are only low detail to show what the basic idea of what they look like. Higher detailed models will be available as I tinker with them over time and when I have time to make decent textures for my ships.
More information will be available over time. I will keep you updated on new features that come into play. You'll be seeing a lot of screenshots real soon.
More details on the mod are on my forum at Ardis.proboards61.com

Okay, for those of you who still have faith that this mod will be publicly released before the release of StarCraft II, there may yet be hope. Progress is kind of slow right now, but we would like to annouce new units that won't be over-writing old ones thanks to DiscipleofAdun's FireGraft tool. Also, because the tool is still being updated occasionally, I can keep this mod availabe to more users without making them need to use SCDowngrader.
The new units are as follows:
-IWE R-20 Scythe Advanced Tactical Fighter
-IWE Spire Cruiser
-EFF M-92 (not to be mistaked for the M-92b that the Eagle IV uses)
-EFF SL-4 Slayer Stealth Fighter (making a return)
-EFF Crossbow
More are planned to be announced soon. Currently, it looks like the mod will be available to users of StarCraft version 1.15.0 and 1.15.1
I'll try to release more screenshots soon. Also, we would like someone who could design a website for the mod. I have a server to host it, I just need someone who is experienced in making web pages that utilize Flash for menus. Your input is always appreciated guys.

I'm glad to accept any help on this and my other mods. If you wish to help, please PM me with what you can do and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I check my mail on this site almost everyday, so I'm easy to contact.
And as soon as I have a decent layout of units for the Krom from my development partner, I will have a beta available.
I'll be happy to help. I do multiple things o.o
Soulnds like by the time this is released, starcaft two will be out. Sounds cool though
If you read the descriptions of the images, you'd notice that those aren't the final models, just some basic ones.
I agree with zenarion, but it looks nice so far, keep it up, ill be downloading this mod when it comes out to test :) happy to help, plus ill add to watch.
You might consider having more detailed meshes to make sprites of.
