For those of you who don't know, StarCraft is a
real time strategy
game from Blizzard Entertainment, the makers of WarCraft and Diablo. It is similar to WarCraft in some
ways but mostly it's totaly different. The units for the three races
don't have exactly the same stats and the damage amount is fixed
instead of variable. The three races are as follows:
- Terran: Many years ago, the United Powers League planned to send over 4
million criminals and
- psychically enhanced
humans to a nearby star system. When the ships
that were carrying the passengers were en route
to the new system, their internal computers suffered a complete memory
erasure, including the location of the star system and of Earth,
due to unknown circumstances. This caused the ships to continue on
"blindly" for over 40 years instead of one, to what would later be
called the Koprulu sector. After crash landing on three different planets,
the Terrans began rebuilding their technology from scratch...

- Protoss: Many millennia ago, an ancient race called the Xel'Naga traveled
throughout space in giant
- world size ships called world-ships. Their one and
only goal was to create the perfect race. They would do this by ehancing and
guiding the race's evolutionary process. In one of their first journeys into
genetic enhancement, they came across a relatively advanced non-sentient race
on the planet Auir that they named the Protoss, meaning first born. Over many
millenia they guided the Protoss technological level to extremes until,
finally, they made themselves known to the Protoss. The Protoss were in awe of
their creators but that did not last long. Eventually, the First Born's
tribes started to war over who would get the Xel'Nagan technology and
blessing. This lead the Protoss to chase their creators of Auir. The Protoss
became depressed and eventually angry at the other tribes, thinking that
everyone but them was the cause of the Xel'Nagan desertion. This eventually
erupted into a tribal Aeon of Strife that would carry on indefinately...

- Zerg: After the Xel'Naga's failure with the Protoss, they came upon the
volitile ash world of Zerus
- inhabited partly by a insectoid race they called
Zerg. They began to change the Zerg's evolutionary process just as they did the Protoss's many
millenia before except this time, they made them completely self-sufficient. The Zerg needed
no outside rescources for their survival. Remembering their
mistakes with the Protoss, the Xel'Naga created a bodiless entity called the Overmind. This
creature oversaw and directed all the Zerg's actions, none of its underlings were capable of
disobeying it. Slowly, the Zerg gained the ability to assimilate other
species on Zerus and change their evolution process much like their creators. The Xel'Naga were
stunned to discover that after only a few hundred years, the same species were barely
recognizable. Soon, the Zerg had assimilated all species on Zerus that they deemed worthy for
their use and destroyed all others; the Xel'Naga knew they had acomplished their goal. However,
the Overmind had discovered the Xel'Nagan world-ships above Zerus shortly before and shortly
after, it severed it's psychic link with the Xel'Naga and sent the tremendous numbers of the
swarms to attack them. Not one Xel'Naga escaped. Having exhausted the recourses on Zerus, the
Overmind sent the swarms out into the void of space towards Auir and the Koprulu Sector...
