Raadec's story reminds me of my own theory about connecting the storylines of Q1 and Q2. After the fall of Shub, Armagon, Overlord and Dragon, the mysterious forces of Quake escaped into our Universe... however, magic is very weak here (practically non-existent), so Quake had to turn to another source of power to survive.

Machines and cybernetics seemed to be this Universe's equivalent of magic, so Quake used the technology gathered from the invaded human military bases as the foundation for its new realm (on the primitive planet of Stroggos). Quake even adopted the skull logo from the crates in those bases :)

It would take many years, even centuries, for the Strogg to grow strong by assimilating other species and developing their technology. Eventually, they would fulfill their purpose - the subjugation of Earth...
