![]() ![]() In fact, the Strogg may have created their nemesis during the invasion, as Corporal Matthew Kane served on Armstrong, and was hospitalized during the battle for Earth. The brutal Strogg invasion occurred in 2065, after sweeping through outlying colonial holdings on Mars and destroying human orbital facilities like the McCulloch and Armstrong space stations, which were long the subject of speculation. An unforeseen result of this decision was the revelation of human space to the Strogg, paving the way for the War against the Strogg that began with the Strogg invasion of human space (which may very well be a response to what they interpreted as "human provocation" or Ranger's one man extermination of Shub-Niggurath). The result was stronger, improved Slipgates that allowed human researchers to establish and maintain portals between their dimension and the "other side". The scientist made contact with the strogg during his experiments, and used the technology gained from the cybernetic race to improve human Slipgate technology. Humanity's first contact with the Strogg appeared during the Slipgate experiments under Dr Wendell Gilman. First contact Main article: War against the StroggĬrates bearing Strogg insignia were found in the events of Quake 1 What remained of Stroggos wildlife adapted, becoming fierce, carnivorous beasts preying on whatever organic material available. Stroggos was reduced to a wasteland, with factories and refineries spewing pollution and toxins into the environment for decades, if not centuries. These policies would remain focused, if not fixated, on one policy: The aquisition of new organic material for fueling their war machine, twisted and ruined by centuries of war. The ancient Palace complex, consistently updated with the latest in Strogg technology, would remain the seat of the Strogg Makron, the highest ranking leader responsible for directing its imperialist policies. ![]() Although suffering from industrial development and reduced to a barren wasteland, Stroggos and its capital city of Cerberon would persist as the heart of the cybernetic war machine for hundreds of years. Įventually, the Strogg expanded among the stars, with Stroggos becoming the heart of their civilization. Rotting remains of this ancient civilization would become the foundation for the grand palaces of Strogg imperial conquerors, long lost to history - but still eerily reminiscent of Earth's darkest hour, dominated by Orwellian forces. Unlike humanity, the Strogg continued to iterate on the system for several centuries, eventually hitting a threshold where war, conquest, and destruction began to dominate their ideology, becoming their sole reason for existence. At one point, Strogg society became subordinated to powerful leaders, not unlike humanity's various dictators throughout its history. They appear to be a humanoid race that originated on Stroggos, which has developed much like humanity. Not much is known about the origins of the Strogg. This Strogg aggression led to humanity's long war with them that has continued unabated ever since.Īmong the SMC, Strogg are referred to as squibs. This motivation led the Strogg to Earth, which they promptly invaded, slaughtering millions of humans just to harvest their corpses. The Strogg's need to harvest biological components for their own augmentation, and the flesh of slain enemies for the creation of stroyent, is their primary motivation, since it's necessary for their survival. ![]() The Strogg are cybernetic constructs of unclear origin, which reproduce by taking biological components and fusing them with advanced technology in the brutal surgical process of Stroggification that enslaves their minds and enhances their bodies for war. Members of the Strogg race also appear as playable characters in Quake III Arena, Quake Live, and Quake Champions. The Strogg are a hostile cybernetic alien race featured as the main antagonists in Quake II and Quake 4, and as a playable faction in Quake III: Team Arena and Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. ![]()
