Understanding of the Strogg language is gained from a neurocyte being implanted in the cerebral cortex, and few human translators (if any) would volunteer for such a procedure. However, there is little indication that many humans have managed to understand it even after years of war against the Strogg and study of them. Surprisingly, the Strogg language functions very similarly to English, with various symbols forming separate words and basically working as letters, as opposed to symbols representing whole meanings in the way that Chinese, for example, works. This Strogg aggression led to humanity's long war with them that has continued unabated ever since. This motivation led the Strogg to Earth, which they promptly invaded, slaughtering millions of humans just to harvest their corpses. Motivation, since it is necessary for their survival. 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 This of course, is nowhere near complete.The Strogg are cybernetic constructs of unclear origins that 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. It just really looks like it), BJ Blazkowicz eliminating their entire cult here on Earth (original Wolfensteins and Old Blood - New Order and Colossus don't seem to fit in this canon), Ranger's murder of Shub-Niggurath, and so on. Quake Champions might imply that the Vadrigar is just a name for the Old Ones, and that the remaining Old Ones have joined their forces to punish humanity for several transgressions: Doomguy (or Doom Slayer)'s victory over the Argent Realm (because remember, it's not really HELL. This makes the human victory over Strogg canon, fleshing out the setting for Q3A, with Quake 4 still going on in that Quake 2 timeframe that ended up with the decisive victory of humanity over Strogg. implying he's the last of his species, or at least, not contemporary to the actual Tanks on Quake 2). It would also explain why in Quake 3 Arena Bitterman, Grunt, Major, and a whole bevy of heroes from the Stroggos war show up, but only one Strogg warrior (Tank Jr. This would explain why the majority of Quake Champions' roster seems to come from Earth, with one exception being one Strogg warrior. Once a race ceases to exist, the stronger one will be used as a permanent champion pool. Either way, the war is meant to provoke the extinction of one race, be it through assimilation, or sheer obliteration. That would mean the Vadrigar either informed the Strogg of our location, or influenced humanity to find them. What else do we know of their history? Or of who created them? I can only find speculation, which is common of these Doom and Quake games, but as Doom fleshes out its story, what do we know of the Strogg?īut pulling on that Arena yarn, it occurred to me that the Vadrigar are not only finding the best warriors individually, but also the best RACE of warriors. Imagine Terror Billy (wolfenstein), Doom Marine, and Mathew Kane in a squad together lel. Either to achieve the status of a god, or possibly to contend with a greater threat?Īlso, perhaps the arcane evils we see in the early quake and doom games, are assaulting multiple universes in an attempt to kill all those who caused them such a long, drawn out victory in their universe, knowing that if they were ever to band together, theyre eternal empire of evil is surely doomed. Possibly lost from some greater colony (Griess?) a long time ago.Īfter the Events of the recent Quake Arena, Im assuming one of two things a benevolent, or evil group of beings or being have joined the most fearsome combatants in multiple universes, to determine who is the greatest. We know they are a militaristic race from a planet engineered to fight wars. Setting them on a relentless, mindless (? or do they serve darker forces from an arcane universe?) quest for more organic matter throughout the universe. And uses organic matter for stroyent, which fuels and feeds them. We know they are a cybernetic race that assimilates other alien races much like the borg.
