For Rag, I think you responded to the wrong post. And Dominion intel does know about the Tal'darim. The field manual confirms that, we know in WoL that the Moebius Foundation identified them as a separate faction, etc.

As for Sub:


 * Yeah, I'm guessing that the UED is being saved. I have the feeling that the UED is to StarCraft what the Clone Wars was to Star Wars before the prequel trilogy (I've heard there was an editorial mandate that no author could state what the wars actually entailed). That 'thing' that's hovering over the series, but are being kept on the backburner until they can be fleshed out. I think there's some potential for the UED remnants, the UED proper, eh, not so much. Course whether there will, or should be a SC3 is another kettle of fish.


 * I feel Raynor works better than Nova here, contextually. Even with WoL having the benefit of a story-mode space. Raynor's been leading the Raiders for up to four years, and they're all people who joined up (in theory) because of wanting to overthrow Mengsk (i.e. "true believers"). Raynor's also the kind of man that's good at inspiring confidence in those around him. In contrast, Nova leads the Griffin for months at the most, and more likely weeks. What's more, the crew are there because it's their job, and namely a job that involved serving the Dominion, not being freedom fighters.
