I was reminded of Total Annihilation today, the game with the best storyline of any RTS. I say best becaus all other ones... are stupid. They try to be good, but they suck and you couldn't possibly care about the plot during the missions. TA circumvents all that by having the premise "robots beating the shit out of each other for all eternity", delineated by the only exposition in the game:
"What began as a conflict over the transfer of consciousness from flesh to machine escalated into a war which has decimated a million worlds. The Core and the Arm have all but exhausted the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. Both sides now crippled beyond repair, the remnants of their armies continue to battle on ravaged planets, their hatred fueled by over 4000 years of total war. This is a battle to the death; for each side, the only acceptable outcome is the complete elimination of the other."
