StarCraft: Retribution (1998), a licensed Expansion Pack for Brood War developed by WizardWorks Software. StarCraft: Ghost, a Third-Person Shooter set a few years after Brood War (but some before StarCraft II) and announced in 2001. After five years in development and several postponed releases, it was put on hold indefinitely in 2006. A playable build was leaked in 2020.Set in the "Koprulu Sector" of space, tens of thousands of light years distant from Earth, the story unfolds between three playable races. The Terrans, human beings descended from outcasts, criminals and political dissidents who were exiled from the Sol system centuries earlier, boast a Used Future society with a military based around cybernetics, heavy artillery, and "Ghosts" — covert operatives with latent psychic abilities. While fighting each other, the Terran planets get invaded by the Zerg, an insectoid Horde of Alien Locusts with the ability to "infest" creatures of other species and assimilate their genetic properties for their own benefit. The majority of the Zerg are drones lacking free will, controlled by Hive Minds called Cerebrates which in turn are controlled by an entity called the Overmind, which sees its sole raison d'etre as the assimilation of all life into the zerg swarm. Soon after, another race enters the conflict — the Protoss, a race of highly fanatical warrior philosophers that are determined to stop the Zerg at all costs — including burning down entire Terran colonies that provide a lot of cannon fodder for the Zerg through infestation. The Protoss use advanced psionic capabilities are as important on the battlefield as their advanced weaponry or robots.StarCraft was one of the first games to become popularly used in professional gaming competitions, particularly in South Korea, where StarCraft matches are played out in sports arenas (occasionally jumbo jet hangars), with giant televisions displaying the action and simulcast on nationwide networks! And let's not even talk about the two cable-television channels devoted to it. Yes, two.As of March 27th, 2017, Blizzard has announced that they're remastering the original StarCraft and Brood War in 4K UHD and with fully-rerecorded high-definition audio, set for release sometime in summer 2017. In the meantime, over the coming weeks the original game will be released as free-to-play, and see a huge modernization patch, patch 1.18, which will bring about major improvements to the game. The original game officially became free-to-play on April 18th, 2017. The game can be launched offline and single-player campaigns are fully playable without an Internet connecton, but the game has been upgraded to use the latest version of the Battle.Net Agent anti-cheat system to ensure fair multiplayer games online.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_1049848f	type	Aliens Speaking English
StarCraft (Franchise) / int_1049848f	comment	Aliens Speaking English: The Protoss are telepaths, presumably the listener hears in whatever language they know. Note, however, that they do have an official language named Khalani, that can be both written and telepathically "vocalized". The Zerg, being a hive-mind, have no need for language. Only the rare sentient Infested Terrans have been known to occasionally communicate with other species. The Primal Zerg in Heart of the Swarm have no problem communicating with their distant cousins (despite lacking a hive mind), but are never shown communicating with Terrans, so it's not quite clear what is happening there. Justified in the "Queen Of Blades" novel. Jim Raynor can hear the Zerg speaking English because he's still mentally linked to Kerrigan, and Kerrigan hears them speaking English because that's the easiest way for her still mostly human mind to process Zerg telepathy.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_1161fb48	type	Bizarre Alien Biology
StarCraft (Franchise) / int_1161fb48	comment	Bizarre Alien Biology: Protoss and Zerg can survive in hard vacuum unprotected, apparently. Protoss are photosynthetic, and their skin color changes based on their mood. No mouths, noses, or visible ears and three hearts. Zerg organ tissues randomly mutate (and, in certain cases, steal new DNA from a new prey creature), and their hyperpowered immune system hunts it down, invoking "survival of the fittest, nature red in tooth and claw" on the genetic level. This allows a piece of formerly dead and rotten Zerg tissue cultured in a laboratory to un-decompose, and evolve 1,000,000 times more than humans ever have in the space of a week. Their alpha amino acids have unique "R groups" that allow damaged cells to fuse with protein to repair themselves. It also allows them to ignore Biochemical Barriers by adapting to be compatible with host organisms. They can reproduce through parasitic fusion, or larvae produced from a building that eats mineral crystals, drinks liquid vespene gas, and is built around six wombs (complete with birth canals), a brain, and a stomach. Their buildings are really self-contained organisms that are based on the genetically programmed nest site architecture of their prey species, and one building is specifically designed to do that ultra-evolution thing at an accelerated rate. They don't need to breathe, and their flesh is dense enough to count as a spacesuit. Their metabolism is so fast that, on top of meat, they eat minerals and drink vespene (which is a mutagen, so that helps things along considerably). The downside to this is that they are very susceptible to radiation poisoning.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_1384ff11	comment	Humans by Any Other Name: For all intents and purposes the term "Terran" is used as a substitute, both by humans and by non-humans, for the word human. This is particularly odd since Earth (except for in the expansion) is practically a non-factor and the word Protoss has nothing at all to do with the name of the protoss homeworld (Aiur). As for the Zerg, it's unclear if they're named after Zerus (given the unusual spelling) or whether Zerus is named after them.

There is a reason for this: During the beta for the first game, a very common dirty trick was for a losing player to hide a very difficult to spot building such as a supply building in an obscure part of the map in hopes that the opponent would give up and cede the game in frustration.

Note that some strains of Zerg are actually derived from various species that the Swarm encountered and consumed throughout the Galaxy. The Hydralisks were once the herbivorous Slothien herd animals, the Mutalisks were Mantis Screamers, and the Behemoths (likely now Leviathans) used to be peaceful Space Whales. Subverted by the Overlords whose host species willingly offered themselves up for infestation to avert their oncoming extinction through starvation.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
StarCraft (Franchise) / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: A widespread problem with the series is that a lot of background information is only given in written materials like manuals, websites, novels, and comic books, of which there are dozens. This can make it difficult to properly contextualize what is happening in the games. Perhaps the most pertinent instance of this is the romance between Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan. Raynor and Kerrigan don't get a lot of one-on-one interactions in the Terran campaign of the first game, and what interactions they did have implied friendship at the most. The expanded universe gives more time to build up their romance, establishing they were a Battle Couple during their time in the Sons of Korhal and fought together on missions for several months. Many of the factions throughout the series only have their histories explained in the expanded universe. Even in the original StarCraft, the game clearly expects you to have actually read the manual so you understand what the Terran Confederacy is. This particularly problematic in the Protoss campaign, where Jurisdiction Friction and Religious Fundamentalism are significant motivators for characters, but you're not given any history on the race and its societal structure to understand why, leaving players to just infer what terms like "the Khala" and "the Dark Templar" mean. With the sequel, many characters made their debut in the expanded universe before appearing in the games. If you want to know who Valerian Mengsk and Selendis are, better pick up StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga and I, Mengsk. The Ghost graphics novels will fill you in on Nova and Gabriel Tosh. For that matter, the story between Wings of Liberty and Heart of the Swarm is covered in the novel Flashpoint. Without reading that, you'll have no idea why the heroes are hiding out on Umoja experimenting on Kerrigan and will be wondering what happened to Valerian's army that he's entirely alone now. Heart of the Swarm has Emil Narud as an antagonist in a mission chain, and no one is surprised by his apparent Face–Heel Turn, because it happened in Flashpoint. If you don't read the short story Ascension before playing Legacy of the Void, you'll be left wondering how Alarak found out Amon's true intentions about the future of the Tal'darim. This was intended but averted for StarCraft II with StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga. The developers were open in saying that the novels would introduce plot elements that would be worked into the games. However, as the story of the video games kept shifting in subtle ways, this ended up not being the case — most of the things the novels touched on that are important to the games are either explained again in-game anyway, or are redefined to the point that anything you thought you knew about them from the novels can be disregarded.note The most blatant instance of this are the Tal'darim. While the Tal'darim of the novels and the Tal'darim of the games were definitely intended to be the same group at some point, with Dummied Out lines in Wings of Liberty having the Tal'darim refer to Ulrezaj as their Benefactor, in the final product they have no connection of Word of God has directly stated they are not related. It is actually inverted in a few cases — for instance, in the original Zerg and Protoss campaigns, there is nothing that hinted at the fact Raynor, Tassadar and Zeratul had forged an alliance on Char, until it is shown when Aldaris plans to arrest Tassadar. While Tassadar does explain in the second mission that he learned how to kill a Cerebrate from meeting with Zeratul, Raynor's presence is not explained (There was a hint about this on a Dummied Out mission, where Tassadar helps the Sons of Korhal destroy a Zerg base on Antiga Prime to let them escape before the Protoss purify the planet). Until StarCraft: Queen of Blades was released, Raynor's presence looked more like an Ass Pull than anything else. There's also the Dominion Marine Corps Field Manual, which is this trope twice over. It's an update of the backstory parts of the first game's manual from an out-of-universe perspective. It's also effectively the in-universe manual for the titular marines, serving as an intelligence briefing on the factions.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_19851b86	comment	The Sociopath: Arcturus Mengsk. Reviewing his key personality traits is like reading through a sociopath diagnostic checklist: superficial charm, a grandiose sense of self, pathological lying, a penchant for manipulating others to achieve his own ends, an absolutely astonishing lack of empathy or remorse for any of his actions, and an insatiable lust for power and dominance that drives his every move. He unleashed the Zerg on an entire planet populated by billions of people just to overthrow a few hundred individuals at most and establish himself as the preeminent political figure among the Terrans of the Koprulu sector. He has no qualms whatsoever about sacrificing those closest to him if it suits his purposes.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack Universe: The individual factions all suck one way or the other, the only genuinely nice, trustworthy people are the individuals with no real power. Terrans act somewhat like locusts, moving from world to world to drain the resources and most of their standing military consists of mind-controlled convicts. Of their governments, the Confederacy was corrupt to its core, the Dominion is slightly better but compensates with its Emperor's extreme narcissism, and the UED are Space Nazis. The lesser governments are the Kel-Morian Combine and the Umojan Protectorate. The Kel-Morian Combine has been compared to a massive criminal organization, and is said to practice slavery. The Umojan Protecorate is apparently the only good government, but it is generally weaker and less populous than either the Combine or the Confederacy/Dominion, but evens the odds with extremely potent technology and a huge spy network. The Protoss are fairly nice, but they're Scary Dogmatic Aliens and have enough trouble keeping peace among their own tribes without involving the other races. And Lord help you if the Zerg have seeded your planet. The Zerg want to achieve perfection... by absorbing every other being they encounter, until they're the only race left.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_28104b90	comment	Bag of Spilling: Almost universally, any army you built up in the previous mission is taken from you and you start the next mission from scratch, even if it's on the same planet as the last mission. Justified since obviously you could build up a massive army at the start of the campaign and let it carry you, but it can still be a nuisance. For a painful example, in Episode V, the UED hijacks eighteen Battlecruisers from the Dominion. Don't count on seeing them again no matter how much you'll wish you had a third that number. There is a single partial aversion in Episode VI. One mission has you gathering 10,000 minerals and infesting Command Centers, with the story justification it's needed for the next mission. In said mission, you keep the minerals and Command Centers, though you're on a new planet so your base is back to square one.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_28c502f6	comment	Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors: Exaggerated. In addition to some units only being able to hit airborne or ground-going enemies, the first game had damage types, which gained or lost effectiveness in percentages depending on the opposing unit's physical size (small vs large). The sequel added unit composition (biological vs armored) and replaced the percentages with specific, individual bonuses. And, always, lots of small cheap units can easily gang up on a large expensive one. The end result is a tangled web of counters, with each unit being specifically strong against one unit from each race, and being weak to one of each as well.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_2af7961	comment	Faster-Than-Light Travel: The Protoss and Terrans have FTL Warp drives, while the Zerg Overmind can use its massive Psychic Powers to tear warp rifts in spacetime. Protoss have near-instantaneous precision warps, to the point that their buildings, infantry and ships are not "built" but are warped in from their homeworld or automated factories. Protoss soldiers even have armor that teleports them out when they are gravely wounded in battle. The arrival of the Terrans in Koprulu was actually a navigational accident. The flight computers on their sleeper FTL ships malfunctioned, and overshot their destination, travelling at FTL speeds for about 30 years (adding up to some 60,000 light-years from Earth). Over time, the Earth Directorate has managed to advance FTL technology to allow them to get to the Koprulu Sector from Earth in a matter of months.

In fact, most protoss weaponry is fuelled by Psychic Powers, either that of the user, the Void, or the Khala (think The Force but it only works for protoss), not just their phase disruptors. The protoss have reached the "sufficiently advanced" stage of technological development, by the by. While most zerg have weapons that are built-in, the Mutalisk would actually look like a small, bat-like creature if it could reel in its hypertrophied, prolapsed reproductive system, which forms an Organitek cannon that launches FuumaShuriken-like glaive wurm parasites.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_41dd77d	comment	Zerg are Subversive, with lots of small, fast, weak units suitable for a Zerg Rush, all the Suicide Attackers, and lots of Body Horror, Hollywood Acid and Combat Tentacles. Their Worker Units don't so much build structures as mutate into them (consuming the Worker in the process), and many of their powerful units have to mutate out of a pre-existing lower-tier unit. Their structures must be built on "Creep," which is generated naturally from their central Hatcheries and blocks the other two races from placing buildings. Zerg have Regenerating Health and will heal From a Single Cell. Where a few Terran and Protoss units have Invisibility Cloaks, almost all Zerg ground units can "burrow" underground, allowing them to ambush, recon and heal. Finally, because of the way Zerg build unitsnote The other two races can only build one unit at a time from their production facilities, and each facility is limited to a single style of unit: barracks can't make airplanes, for instance, and airports can't make soldiers. Any Zerg Hatchery can build any type of unit currently available, three at a time, they can generate new armies in an instant, in case there's been a Total Party Kill or you've found some Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors to exploit, but their Tech Tree is also markedly more vulnerable to destruction.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_4bfcfa7c	comment	To a terrifying degree. The metagame has gotten so intricate that good players can tell exactly where the other player's base is simply by how long it takes for an enemy scouting unit to find them. The presence or absence of gas production buildings at certain points in the game can reveal volumes about a player's strategy. And of course, feigning one tactic and going for another can have devastating consequences. To give a specific example, one common Terran strategy vs. Protoss was to put down two factories and produce lots of units to make an attack. Then the Terran metagame evolved to incorporate acting like you're putting down two Factories and making a little attack to put the opponent on the defensive but you're actually only making one Factory and saving for an expansion to gain an economic advantage - the fake double. This became so popular that it is normal and Protoss players anticipated it, so now Terrans can now also try to give the appearance that they are doing the fake double but meanwhile they actually really are putting down two Factories to make a serious attack. Which is known as the fake fake double. Mindbending. Not the end of the story. If they're going for a fake double, they often show that they are mining their Vespene Gas at maximum efficiency in exchange for Mineral mining. This is a sign that they are going for a double. In fact, many players mine gas at maximum efficiency until their opponent's scout is gone, then stop, to make the opponent think they are going double. Most Protoss players have figured this out though, and now usually know it's an early expansion. In fact, the Terrans adapted to the Protoss, and actually do go for the double. Yes, the Protoss adapted again, and play safer, but then the Terrans just go for the expansion. Continuous metagame development.

This is why, for example, Marines take half-damage from base defenses, such as Sunken colonies and Photon Cannons (Explosive damage vs a Small unit, despite the turrets doing enough damage on-paper to one-hit kill the marines). The sequel exchanges damage typing for armor typing; mechanical, light, biological, armored, massive and psionic, which all interact with damage, usually by giving certain units extra damage versus certain types of armor. It functions as a Keyword structure, with one unit having multiple types. Ultralisks, for example, are "Armored - Biological - Massive," meaning they can be Sniped (250 damage vs biological), take extra damage from armor piercing weapons, and is immune to most Status Effects.

StarCraft II introduces cosmetic ranks for any standard unit based on number of kills. For Protoss, 0-4 kills is a Disciple, 5-9 is a Mentor, 10-14 an Instructor, 15-19 a Master, and 20+ an Executor. Zerg equivalents are Predator, Slayer, Ravager Assassin and Metamorph, and while hardly fantastic, for the sake of completion, Terran get Recruit, Corporal, Sergeant, Captain, Commander.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_558245a7	comment	There's also the matter of the Dominion's military as a whole. The entire Dominion Fleet is stated in the Flashpoint novel to only be 50 ships, and over the course of both the finale of Wings of Liberty and the Flashpoint novel afterwards, nearly half of that is destroyed, yet the Dominion continues to be a major military power in the sector. The average lifespan of a Terran Marine when they're deployed is also six seconds, in spite of all of their armor and the technology that goes into creating them, yet they are able to constantly fight devastating wars and face enormous defeats with no sign of exhaustion until Heart of the Swarm when they're driven back to Korhal, which in itself is heavily defended. If a true faction with only 50 ships and that much of a Redshirt Army fought a war the Dominion would have been long dead by now, especially considering the large number of planets we see under Dominion control.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_5663a595	type	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
StarCraft (Franchise) / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In penultimate mission of Terran campaign in original game, after Zerg were lured to Confederate capital world of Tarsonis via usage of psi emitters (courtesy of Sons of Korhal), the Protoss intervene and attack them. Fearing that this will drive the Zerg away from Confederates, Mengsk sends Kerrigan with a strike force against the Protoss vanguard. Fittingly, the battle takes place on orbital platform, where Kerrigan can intercept the Protoss before they can even reach the Zerg on Tarsonis. For reasons unknown (if there ever were any), this rather crucial detail was changed in StarCraft: Liberty's Crusade official novelization, which made Kerrigan and her forces fight the Protoss on the planet's surface... even though it makes zero sense, since the very nature of her task was to prevent the Protoss from even getting there. If they're on the surface of Tarsonis already, they are free to engage the Zerg wherever they want, and a single skirmish with Kerrigan does not change anything. What makes it more jarring is that this change was made canon and even in one of cinematics in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty we see Kerrigan fighting the Zerg on planet's surface... despite the fact that it would make her mission utterly, completely pointless.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_56946b5f	comment	Bottled Heroic Resolve: Stimpacks, used as an ability for some Terran infantry in the games, greatly improves their movement and fire-rate for its duration. Once described as "a powerful mix of synthetic adrenaline, endorphins, and a psychotropic aggression enhancer" on the second game's official website, it clearly can come with some horrific long-term side effects including "...insomnia, weight loss, mania/hypomania, seizures, paranoiac hallucinations, internal hemorrhaging, and cerebral deterioration" as well as "cellular degradation, addiction..." from the first game's manual...but frankly, Terran infantry units' odds of living long enough to suffer those side-effects are pretty bad anyway. That bad stuff may be why the usage of Stimpacks is Cast from Hit Points. Alternative appearances of non-standard Stimpacks outside of melee matches are implicitly less-consequently harmful than normal ones due to not being Cast from Hit Points to the same degree: Improved Stimpacks last longer and have a lower health cost. Super Stimpacks don't cost health, and indeed, instead heals the unit over the duration. High-grade Stimpacks massively increase attack speed by a lot more without affecting movement and have no health cost.

As the second weakest unit in the entire game, marines' best bet for survival is sticking together in large numbers. This appears to be entirely canon for all intents and purposes since it matches marine armor's protectiveness in cutscenes as well as background text (as such Brood War's manual mentioning the Medics' Heal ability lengthening marines' expected lifespan on the battlefield...to over nine seconds).

They have Deflector Shields which regenerate over time, supplementing their already-high Hit Points, with the downside of Regenerating Shields, Static Health. All Protoss buildings must be built near a Pylon, and stop functioning if all nearby Pylons are destroyed. Pylons also raise your Arbitrary Headcount Limit. They are the Protoss' least-durable building. Having said that, the Protoss Worker Unit simply opens a portal (through which the building teleports) and then can wander off to do other things, instead of having to stay temporarily (Terran) or permanently (Zerg), so it's relatively easy to Construct Additional Pylons if things go south.

In the end of the Protoss campaign in Brood War, the Protoss acknowledge that by using that Xel'Naga temple to destroy the Zerg on Shakuras they will greatly weaken Daggoth's forces, which in turn will help Kerrigan. They also state though that doing so is the only way that they will survive. Zeratul's killing of Zasz was the first time a Cerebrate actually died, but it also linked his mind with the Overmind and revealed the location of Auir. Zeratul later killed the second Overmind ending the UED's control of the Zerg, which meant that Kerrigan then had complete control of all the Zerg. The UED just made everything worse. Not that they can be considered any sort of heroic, of course.

Nothing gonna be living in that mess. Somehow, the Zerg still do. The amount of damage is somewhat inconsistent in the sources. At least one comic shows Raynor visiting the quite recognizable ruins of his old house. Terrans also demonstrated a capacity to do this, by launching numerous nukes from orbit and reducing the surface of the planet to a black glassy substance. This led to the outlawing the manufacturing of full-size nukes to prevent such an event occurring again, leading to the multiplayer usage of "mini-nukes" that inflict underwhelming damage at relatively cheap cost.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_9b54d536	comment	Evil Counterpart: The Zerg were deliberately engineered by the Xel'Naga to be an opposite of the Protoss as part of their experiments. The Protoss have "purity of form" while the Zerg have "purity of essence." The Protoss use a telepathic link that connects all of them, the Zerg are a Hive Mind. The Protoss are graceful and intelligent, the Zerg are bestial and driven by instinct. Even in battle they use opposite techniques, the Protoss army consisting of singular elite soldiers who have spent years training for war, against the Zerg army consisting of lots and lots of expendable units evolved to be killing machines, and little else. Of course, this is only a superficial interpretation. The Dark Templar novels reveal that the "Turned Against Their Masters" gig is a Protoss fabrication. The Zerg and Protoss were created in order to unite with each other and create a new iteration of the Xel'Naga (it's just how those guys worked) as part of their life-cycle. The Zerg got corrupted by an Eldritch Abomination before that could happen, however, and were made to attack their makers and the Protoss.

The Confederacy had been secretly using Psi Emitters to lure the Zerg to the fringe worlds such as Mar Sara. Arcturus then starts using the Emitters against the Confederacy which ultimately destroys them. Arcturus leaves Kerrigan to die on Tarsonis after foiling the Protoss Fleet. The Overmind then remakes her into a Zerg-Terran hybrid who proceeds to manipulate Arcturus into helping her and then castrates his Dominion Forces by killing his best available General, Edmund Duke. Years later, Kerrigan pushes the Dominion to the brink of defeat before being purified by the Xel'Naga artifact. Arcturus attacks the Umojan research facility where Kerrigan is being held in an attempt to capture her but she escapes, becomes the Queen of Blades again, and reunites the Zerg swarm before invading Korhal IV and ultimately killing Arcturus.

This may be justified though: the Terrans are all either in vehicles or wearing Powered Armor (which we know can survive hard vacuum, so being heat-resistant isn't much of a stretch), the Protoss have shields and probably other applicable phlebotinum, and the Zerg have Adaptive Ability.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_c0ccf45c	type	Metagame
StarCraft (Franchise) / int_c0ccf45c	comment	Metagame: To a terrifying degree. The metagame has gotten so intricate that good players can tell exactly where the other player's base is simply by how long it takes for an enemy scouting unit to find them. The presence or absence of gas production buildings at certain points in the game can reveal volumes about a player's strategy. And of course, feigning one tactic and going for another can have devastating consequences. To give a specific example, one common Terran strategy vs. Protoss was to put down two factories and produce lots of units to make an attack. Then the Terran metagame evolved to incorporate acting like you're putting down two Factories and making a little attack to put the opponent on the defensive but you're actually only making one Factory and saving for an expansion to gain an economic advantage - the fake double. This became so popular that it is normal and Protoss players anticipated it, so now Terrans can now also try to give the appearance that they are doing the fake double but meanwhile they actually really are putting down two Factories to make a serious attack. Which is known as the fake fake double. Mindbending. Not the end of the story. If they're going for a fake double, they often show that they are mining their Vespene Gas at maximum efficiency in exchange for Mineral mining. This is a sign that they are going for a double. In fact, many players mine gas at maximum efficiency until their opponent's scout is gone, then stop, to make the opponent think they are going double. Most Protoss players have figured this out though, and now usually know it's an early expansion. In fact, the Terrans adapted to the Protoss, and actually do go for the double. Yes, the Protoss adapted again, and play safer, but then the Terrans just go for the expansion. Continuous metagame development. This becomes much more prevalent in StarCraft II where scouts are crucial in knowing what you are dealing with. For Zerg it is fairly straightforward, early expansion or just go for the safer spawning pool? Do you produce a slew of Zerglings to prep yourself for Tier 2 or go for Roaches to buff up your defenses? Did your opponent research Burrow? Or did he go for the Ventral Sacs? The questions are never answered unless you know what your opponent is doing. Because of how fast the games get (due to the bases getting mined out earlier) it makes it all the more important to scout because everything moves quickly. Ironically it also makes the Terran much more difficult to predict because of the ease to build and swap attachments. Since buildings can swap, it means that when you thought he was going for Marauders when he built that Barracks for the Tech Lab, he can just fake you out and swap it for a Factory to build Siege Tanks and Thors.

Of their governments, the Confederacy was corrupt to its core, the Dominion is slightly better but compensates with its Emperor's extreme narcissism, and the UED are Space Nazis. The lesser governments are the Kel-Morian Combine and the Umojan Protectorate. The Kel-Morian Combine has been compared to a massive criminal organization, and is said to practice slavery. The Umojan Protecorate is apparently the only good government, but it is generally weaker and less populous than either the Combine or the Confederacy/Dominion, but evens the odds with extremely potent technology and a huge spy network.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_cbc54501	type	Faction Calculus
StarCraft (Franchise) / int_cbc54501	comment	Faction Calculus: One of the most famous examples (as measured in "games that copy it"), providing a huge amount of depth to the game. Terrans are Balanced. They have all the Long Range Fighters, with only one melee unit (the Firebat), and for a long time had the unit with the longest firing range (the Siege Tank; eventually its title as longest-range combatant was usurped by the Protoss Tempest), but their units tend to be Glass Cannons in compensation. They have the best standing defenses in the form of Bunkers, which you can hide infantry in, and some of their buildings can take off and fly to other locations, but at the cost of subverted Critical Existence Failure: Damage Is Fire, and if a Terran building's Life Meter is reduced far enough, it will burn down of their own accord unless repaired. Finally, the Terran military is less mobile as a whole; their units are Master of None, they need to rely on each other for support, and they have to either leave some units at home or leave their base undefended. Zerg are Subversive, with lots of small, fast, weak units suitable for a Zerg Rush, all the Suicide Attackers, and lots of Body Horror, Hollywood Acid and Combat Tentacles. Their Worker Units don't so much build structures as mutate into them (consuming the Worker in the process), and many of their powerful units have to mutate out of a pre-existing lower-tier unit. Their structures must be built on "Creep," which is generated naturally from their central Hatcheries and blocks the other two races from placing buildings. Zerg have Regenerating Health and will heal From a Single Cell. Where a few Terran and Protoss units have Invisibility Cloaks, almost all Zerg ground units can "burrow" underground, allowing them to ambush, recon and heal. Finally, because of the way Zerg build unitsnote The other two races can only build one unit at a time from their production facilities, and each facility is limited to a single style of unit: barracks can't make airplanes, for instance, and airports can't make soldiers. Any Zerg Hatchery can build any type of unit currently available, three at a time, they can generate new armies in an instant, in case there's been a Total Party Kill or you've found some Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors to exploit, but their Tech Tree is also markedly more vulnerable to destruction. Protoss are Powerhouse. They have an Elite Army with impressive psionic powers, which they have combined with technology; the best Squishy Wizards; some cyborg units and others which are completely robotic; and the most late-game units out of everyone. They have Deflector Shields which regenerate over time, supplementing their already-high Hit Points, with the downside of Regenerating Shields, Static Health. All Protoss buildings must be built near a Pylon, and stop functioning if all nearby Pylons are destroyed. Pylons also raise your Arbitrary Headcount Limit. They are the Protoss' least-durable building. Having said that, the Protoss Worker Unit simply opens a portal (through which the building teleports) and then can wander off to do other things, instead of having to stay temporarily (Terran) or permanently (Zerg), so it's relatively easy to Construct Additional Pylons if things go south. It's also interesting to compare each faction's basic units. Terrans have the Marine, who has has the lowest Hit Points of the lotnote 40 in SC 1, 45 in SC 2 with an upgrade to give them 10 more, but carries a gun against the other units' melee attacks. The Zergling is a four-legged beast, with the fastest movespeed of the three units and an upgrade to make it faster, and is so cheap that Zerg players get two of them for the cost of one Marinenote with 35 HP each, for a total of 70. Finally, Protoss have the Zealot, who has the most HPnote 100 HP, 60 shields and does the most damage per attack, but costs twice the resources, twice the Supply points, and takes up twice the room aboard a dropship.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_d525f857	comment	Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: When the Terrans first arrived to the Koprulu sector, they only numbered approximately 32,000. According to Blizzard's website, there are at least twelve billion Terrans in the Koprulu sector at the beginning of StarCraft II, and Raynor mentions Kerrigan killing eight billion people during the first game. He might have been including the Protoss but that still means you're looking at more than twelve billion humans living in the sector. As mentioned here, to have this many people after only 240 years would require the population to at least double every decade, for 24 decades, not taking into account the deaths that occur from any number of natural and unnatural causes, because the Terrans have a history of civil wars. The original supercarriers all had a large supply of cryogenicly frozen embryos and fertilized eggs as well as the technology for them to develop in (which would continue to work for 50 years until breaking down). Which could explain the initial population. There's also the matter of the Dominion's military as a whole. The entire Dominion Fleet is stated in the Flashpoint novel to only be 50 ships, and over the course of both the finale of Wings of Liberty and the Flashpoint novel afterwards, nearly half of that is destroyed, yet the Dominion continues to be a major military power in the sector. The average lifespan of a Terran Marine when they're deployed is also six seconds, in spite of all of their armor and the technology that goes into creating them, yet they are able to constantly fight devastating wars and face enormous defeats with no sign of exhaustion until Heart of the Swarm when they're driven back to Korhal, which in itself is heavily defended. If a true faction with only 50 ships and that much of a Redshirt Army fought a war the Dominion would have been long dead by now, especially considering the large number of planets we see under Dominion control.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_db39ccfd	comment	Perhaps the most pertinent instance of this is the romance between Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan. Raynor and Kerrigan don't get a lot of one-on-one interactions in the Terran campaign of the first game, and what interactions they did have implied friendship at the most. The expanded universe gives more time to build up their romance, establishing they were a Battle Couple during their time in the Sons of Korhal and fought together on missions for several months.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_dc61f525	comment	Dig Attack: StarCraft has the Zerg's burrowing ability, which allows every ground unit (except the Ultralisk) to burrow, sacrificing movement for invisibility. Lurkers, an evolution of the Hydralisk, need to be burrowed to attack by sending rows of spines at enemies. Ultralisks in StarCraft II have an optional campaign-only ability called Burrow Charge, where they burrow, tunnel towards the enemy and breach explosively, damaging the units. Roaches and Infestors can move around while buried. They can't attack, but the Roach heals a lot faster, while the Infestor can still create Infested Marines while underground. Banelings had the ability to do so as well, but was removed. The Widow Mine is a unit introduced in the Heart of the Swarm chapter. Mobile-mode can reversibly burrow, becoming immobile, impossible to target without use of detection, as well as gaining ability to attack any nearby enemies with high, Area of Effect damage. The drawbacks are lock-on activation lag and attack cooldown, but still it is available at low tech level and complements strategies heavy on mechanical units.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_e0207930	comment	Humans Are Special: Deconstructed. The Terrans of the Koprulu Sector are only a few generations away from becoming a psionic species. Instead of indicating that humanity is on the verge of becoming something greater, this just means they drew the attention of the Zerg, who view their psionic potential as the key to fighting their real target, the Protoss, on equal grounds. Interestingly, Humans are the only major race that was not created/uplifted by the Xel'Naga. Averted until Legacy of the Void, the final campaign of StarCraft II. The ultimate conflict of the series revolves around Zerg and Protoss struggling to integrate with each other—something the Zerg desperately want and Protoss desperately want to avoid. The second half of StarCraft II deals more and more heavily with such Protoss/Zerg hybrids. Humans just kind of stumbled into the arena of this conflict on accident because of a glitchy navigation system a few generations beforehand. Ultimately played straight in the finale of Legacy of Void, when Kerrigan ascends to become a Xel'Naga, an achievement that few species in the galaxy ever reach.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_f3dd102d	comment	Humans Need Aliens: Humans in the series are considered flawed, weak, violent, and greedy by the Protoss and Zerg. Outside of Raynor's alliances with the Protoss, the humans are prone to civil wars and in-fighting even as they flee/fight the Zerg and Protoss. The climax of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, when Raynor and the Dominion invade Char and de-infest Kerrigan is pretty much the only heroic thing the race has done in the grand scheme of things. Also in Wings of Liberty, Jim Raynor is shown a vision of a possible future where the Terrans and Protoss are driven to extinction by the zerg/protoss hybrids in a timeline where Kerrigan dies, and can't lead the Zerg swarm. Then again, humans have been shown to at least be better at fighting the zerg than the Protoss in the games making this a possible subversion. Raynor played a major part in the defeat of the first overmind on Aiur, the United Earth Directorate seized control of the second in brood war, and humans took one of the zerg's best defended worlds, Char, twice. Let's also not forget that Sarah Kerrigan, the Zerg's current leader is a former human. Also, Terrans are the only one of the three races that were not uplifted by the local Sufficiently Advanced Aliens.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_f46eebb	comment	Betrayal by Inaction: Part of Mengsk's Uriah Gambit, when he sends Kerrigan to keep a Protoss force from destroying a hive of Zerg, which he wishes to use for his own purpose. Once the Protoss are destroyed, he immediately orders all ships to retreat, leaving Kerrigan on the ground with the Zerg and not responding to her requests for evac. It didn't turn out too well for him in the long run. The intro cinematic for Brood War has a huge battlecruiser sitting there without participating in the battle against the Zerg, finally leaving under the Death Glare of the Marine who's about to be overrun. One level ends where Stukov and Duran are guarding your flanks as you try to capture Raynor and Mengsk. At the end of the level, the capture is interrupted by a massive Zerg swarm. Stukov tells Duran to move his troops in there immediately, but Duran claims he's not seeing anything, even suggesting Stukov's sensors are off, ending the call with the usual static and "you're breaking up" as Raynor and Mengsk escape. Stukov isn't fooled for a second, realizing Duran was a Zerg traitor all along.

StarCraft (Franchise) / int_f4d8ac92	type	The Assimilator
StarCraft (Franchise) / int_f4d8ac92	comment	Zerg organ tissues randomly mutate (and, in certain cases, steal new DNA from a new prey creature), and their hyperpowered immune system hunts it down, invoking "survival of the fittest, nature red in tooth and claw" on the genetic level. This allows a piece of formerly dead and rotten Zerg tissue cultured in a laboratory to un-decompose, and evolve 1,000,000 times more than humans ever have in the space of a week. Their alpha amino acids have unique "R groups" that allow damaged cells to fuse with protein to repair themselves. It also allows them to ignore Biochemical Barriers by adapting to be compatible with host organisms. They can reproduce through parasitic fusion, or larvae produced from a building that eats mineral crystals, drinks liquid vespene gas, and is built around six wombs (complete with birth canals), a brain, and a stomach. Their buildings are really self-contained organisms that are based on the genetically programmed nest site architecture of their prey species, and one building is specifically designed to do that ultra-evolution thing at an accelerated rate. They don't need to breathe, and their flesh is dense enough to count as a spacesuit. Their metabolism is so fast that, on top of meat, they eat minerals and drink vespene (which is a mutagen, so that helps things along considerably). The downside to this is that they are very susceptible to radiation poisoning.

Terrans have the Marine, who has has the lowest Hit Points of the lotnote 40 in SC 1, 45 in SC 2 with an upgrade to give them 10 more, but carries a gun against the other units' melee attacks. The Zergling is a four-legged beast, with the fastest movespeed of the three units and an upgrade to make it faster, and is so cheap that Zerg players get two of them for the cost of one Marinenote with 35 HP each, for a total of 70. Finally, Protoss have the Zealot, who has the most HPnote 100 HP, 60 shields and does the most damage per attack, but costs twice the resources, twice the Supply points, and takes up twice the room aboard a dropship.

The first game's high templars can perform a one-way fusion into an archon, a ghostly psionic entity that is very damaging and quite hard to kill* barring use of the science vessel's EMP, which strips their shields to leave them with just a small amount of HP. Brood War allows two dark templar to fuse into a dark archon, a caster unit. The Expanded Universe and Enslavers II add-on campaign have Ulrezaj, a rebel dark templar who eventually fuses with five others to form an Ax-Crazy super-archon of sorts. He's eventually defeated in StarCraft: The Dark Templar Saga by having the Preserver sacrifice herself to seal him with her into a khaydarin crystal. StarCraft II dispenses with the dark archon, allowing archons (initially called twilight archons, but this was dropped in early patches) to be created from any combination of two high templar or dark templar.
