Liberator mod for StarCraft

In the Noble Brightness of the near future, there is only peace.
The year is 2180. A small colony of humans have established themselves in the far away reaches of the inner rim. But contact with Earth has never been established. The United Planets stand alone against an increasingly inhospitable sector, alone against the infinite darkness. And it is not just the local fauna they must fight.
As with any large enough group of people, they began to segregate themselves from one another. A rigid caste system split the populace, and in the twenty years hence its institution, relations have only soured. Tensions have reached their peak, and hostilities have erupted on the outer colony Howoz.
And there is another, far darker threat, looming to corrupt them all.

Liberator is ultimately a story about the, erm, political dissidents from an Earth that became united, and Socialist. Altogether about two billion souls were ejected, and sent headlong into space without any real care. Along the way the ship that carried the poor, unfortunate souls was struck by random asteroids, causing a significant part of the ship's computer systems to be compromised, as well as a decent chunk of the population being split from the main ship. When the remaining people crash-landed on Vel'Inak, a nearly inhospitable place full of cold mountains and chilly valleys, they were forced to either use science or die. Basically for the first decade or so scientific progress was paramount to survival, and the people put aside whatever differences they had to create technological wonders that were merely the stuff of science fiction on Earth. Having established themselves against the elements, they finally looked towards getting off the hostile rock they were stranded on, and sent out ships over the next forty-year period to other planets, those being Ziris, the first, Regganus, the metropolis, Howoz, the city, and Astinda, the frontier. They created a government to rule themselves, an economy to pay themselves, and a military to defend themselves, learning from the lessons of the past to make way for the future.

TL,DR: Space Libertarians with five planets survive in a very StarCraft-esque scenario.
