Also in Haven's Fall (maybe Safe Haven as well). Though this version brings up the image of one sleeping with the fishes, or wearing concrete boots. + Show Spoiler + | ||

(as is Asgard) Yea I do know that, but Loki is a character in stargate sg1 (an asgard.) and the asgard have a tendency to name their ships after ppl. The O'neil and the Daniel Jackson for example. And also as MisterD wrote, quite the "coincidence" with the wraiths lol, thats not a Stargate reference. SG and SC are both referencing Norse mythology, which is quite a bit older than both of them. Loki is the Norse god of mischief and chaos who resided in Asgard along with all the other gods. Many of the Terran units in SC2 are references to Norse mythology, such as the Thor, Viking, and Raven (The symbol of Odin, he always appears with two), the Odin in that same mission, and even the Hel's Angels mercenaries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(location). Because loki and the asgard from stargate is based on norse mythologi doesn't change the fact that the reference in starcraft2 is infact aimed towards the stargate series and not norse mythology though. That's like saying rory swann is a reference to germanic mythologies because he resembles a dwarf. Dude you're from Sweden.... I'm a huge Stargate fan, but referencing North Mythology has nothing to do with Stargate. It's just that the Asgard reuse the names all the time. Also what have dwarves to do with Germany? Oo | ||

Oo Dude give the fella a break, from what's posted here I'd say his theory might as well be correct. Or maybe I missed the chapter in northern mythology where the Asgard aquired spaceships and used them to battle the wraith in their spaceships. Which did however happen in SG. Sure a lot of things in starcraft are based upon northern mythology but that doesn't mean that this particular mission can't be referenced towards Stargate. And about the dwarves, a quick google tells me that the dwarves supposibly originated from germanic mythologi. | ||
