||||| Introduction |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The continuation of my first guide: StarCraft Game Script, now I present you
the game script of StarCraft : Brood war, in which the game is the sequel
of the first, featuring the Dark Templars, Terran UED and the Queen of Blades
(while in the first was the Terran Dominion, Zerg Overmind, and The Conclave).
For detailed reasons behind the making of this guide, please refer to my
StarCraft Game Script guide which should be able to be found on the same sites
where you found this guide.
A very long time to complete this guide... well, I had to struggle
to finish my master degree first, so this one have to be the second priority.
Anyway, it's both completed now... phew...
I'm sorry if there are some mistakes or flaws. Should you notice something is
wrong or misspelled or anything, feel free to email me at :
[email protected]
However,I don't check my email too often...so your email subject should
indicate about this guide or anything related to it, so that I can quickly
notice it (for example, mention "[starcraft]" in the subject).
Also, please be patient if your email don't get replied fast enough... :)
So... here's the main part of this guide! Hope you enjoy it!
||||| Tabel of Contents ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To quickly find a mission, use the find/search command in your text browser
then type the corresponing letter followed by dash and the number.
The format is the same with my first / previous guide. However, to clearly
differ the original and expansion missions, I decided to add "X" in front of
the code for the expansion mission (Brood War, which is in this guide).
So, XP = Protoss, XT = Terran, XZ = Zerg. Or you can input the mission title
directly (if you remember...) Ex. for Terran campaign mission #8 you type
XT-08 in the find/search input, or "To Chain the Beast" (with or without the
quotes). Or, if you just remember the famous quotes, you can input it
directly too to go to the corresponding mission.
Note also that the chapter number begin at IV instead of I, as it is following
the chapter in the game (I,II,III is the original missions, while IV,V,VI is
the Brood War expansion missions).
The mission number and title refers to the following list :

Objectives :
- Bring Zeratul to the warp gate
- Zeratul must survive
Aldaris :
Greetings, Executor. Though we all
grieve for the loss of mighty
Tassadar, we must find the resolve
to carry on. He sacrified himself
to destroy the Overmind, but many
Zerg still rage across our ruined
homeworld. Without the Conclave to
lead us, or the protection of our
great fleets, it seems we must fend
for ourselves.
Zeratul :
Aldaris is correct, Executor. As we
have both seen, the Zerg will not
halt their rampage until every last
one of us is dead. I suggest that we
retreat to our last functional warp
gate and travel to where the Zerg
cannot follow us.
Aldaris :
With all due respect, Zeratul, the
Protoss do not run from their
enemies. Aiur is our homeworld. It is
here that we shall make our stand!
Zeratul :
Just as your Conclave did? They are
dead now, Aldaris, dead because
they allowed their pride to blind
their reason. Only if we learn from
their mistake can we live to
avenge them. Now, Executor, I know
of a place where we can find
solace. It is Shakuras, the secret
homeworld of my people the Dark
Templar.
Aldaris :
Your people? We would be seen as
tyrants to them! Why would they
shelter us?
Zeratul :
Have I not pledged myself to your
cause? Not all beings are as
unforgiving as your lamented
Conclave, Aldaris.
Aldaris :
You are right, of course. Executor,
Zeratul shall find us passage to the
warp gate. After the gate has been
secured, Fenix anf the new Praetor
Artanis shall lead our surviving
brethren to Shakuras.
Artanis :
Executor, I am Artanis. Though I
have only recently been appointed
Praetor, you can trust that I will
uphold the honor and traditions of
the Templar.
Aldaris :
We shall see.
Raynor :
Hey, boys, mind if we tag along? I
figure headin' anywhere's got to be
better than stayin' here with the
Zerg!
Zeratul :
Commander Raynor.
As ever, your assistance is
appreciated. We would be honored if
you joined us.

Artanis :
En Taro Tassadar, Executor. The
survivors from Aiur have made it
safely through the gate. Yet, amidst
the chaos of our retreat we lost
contact with Fenix and Raynor. I
fear that they may have been
overrun by the Zerg.
Zeratul :
Fear not, Artanis. Fenix is as
stalwart a warrior as I have ever
known, and the Terran Raynor has
proven himself to be highly
resourceful in the past. I for one
believe that they made it here
safely. But while we wait for word
from them, we must reconnoiter
the surrounding area and find a
suitable location for a more
premanent settlement. Once we're
situated we can begin to search for
the Dark Templar.

Adun Toridas, Zeratul! Glad I am to see that
you've returned home after these many decades.
But the strange guests that have followed you
here seem ill-tempered.
ZERATUL
Well met, my brother! Indeed, these creatures known
as the Zerg have no regard for the sanctity of life.
Once we have secured this area, I shall tell you
everything I know about them in council.
DARK TEMPLAR
I am sure the Matriarch will be eager to hear
your tale as well.
ARTANIS
Executor! We have received a transmission from Raynor
and Fenix! They are still alive, and are fighting to retake
the warp gate on Aiur! We must secure the gate on this
side without delay!
NEW MISSION OBJECTIVE:
- Destroy the Zerg base
*** Find the Warp Gate ***
ARTANIS
There is no sign of Fenix or Raynor. They must still be on Aiur!
*** Destroy the Zerg base ***
RAYNOR
Executor, my crew and I will remain here on Aiur and shut
the gate down on this side. It's the only way to make sure
that the Zerg won't send more reinforcements to Shakuras.
ARTANIS
You will be hopelessly outnumbered, and once the gate
is shut down there will be no one to save you should you
be overrun.
RAYNOR
Yeah, well... I'am a man of action. What can I say?
FENIX
I shall remain with Raynor as well, Executor. My duty is to
Aiur, after all.
ARTANIS
Farewell then, brave warriors. We will send through all
the troops we can spare.

Thanks. You kids just remember to play nice from now on,
ok? Wish us luck.

||||| Mission Briefing |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Objectives :
- Destroy the Zerg cerebrates
Raszgal :
I am Raszagal, Matriarch of the
Dark Templar, and I welcome you
and your companions to our world.
Zeratul has informed me of the fall
of Aiur, and I am deeply grieved. I
am one of the few Dark Templar
old enough to remember our
ancestral home with clarity. Yet, no
matter how tragic the
circumstances, it is clear that
fortune has reunited our people.
We Dark Templar will never forget
our banishment from Aiur, nor the
Conclave's sins against us. But you
and your companions are no longer
of the Conclave. The example set by
your fallen hero, Tassadar, has
shown you that when the light and
dark sides of our energies are
united, our power is undeniable.
Aldaris :
But Matriarch, the Zerg who have
followed us here are unlike any
enemy the Protoss are ever
known!
Raszagal :
You speak the truth, Judicator. And
yet, there lies a dormant power
here that can help us to scour the
Zerg from Shakuras forever. Long
ago, we Dark Templar were a
nomadic people. But when we found
a remarkable monument upon this
world, we decided to remain here
to study it. We discovered that the
enormous structure is actually an
ancient Xel'Naga temple, dedicated
to the race that sired us all. The
Temple is situated above a nexus of
powerful cosmic energies. If we
were to access those energies...
Aldaris :
Then we should strike now while
the Zerg still muster their forces!
Raszagal :
Alas, we cannot. In order to
properly channel the energies of
the Temple, we will need the twin
crystals, Uraj and Khalis, that
legends say were separated many
ages ago. The Uraj is laced with
pure Templar energies, while the
Khalis is comprised of Dark Templar
energy. Only by using these two
crystals in unison, can we hope to
channel the potent energies of the
Temple.
Artanis :
Then it is clear that we must
retrieve these crystals wherever
they may be.
Raszagal :
Agreed. But first, we must deal
with the Zerg and their two
Cerebrates who have already taken
up station around the Temple itself.
To arms, my children! Scour the
Temple grounds of this foul
infestation!
||||| Mission Start ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
*** Beginning of the mission ***
ZERATUL
Remember, young Templar, cerebrates can be killed only by Dark
Templar weapons and energies. My brethren will make short work
of any cerebrate!
ZERATUL
Executor, our sensors show that the two Cerebrates are surrounded
by spore colonies. We will deploy our Corsairs to compensate for
their defenses.
*** Kill the two Cerebrates ***
KERRIGAN
Well done, mighty Protoss! I'm glad to see that you all are as
violent as ever.
ZERATUL
Kerrigan! What mockery is this?
KERRIGAN
Relax, warriors. Despite what you may think, I haven't come here
to fight you.
ALDARIS
This is laughable! Do you truly expect us to believe that your
intentions here are honorable? That these Zerg here are not
under your sway?
KERRIGAN
Look, the Cerebrates you've killed were my enemies as well. If you
let me explain, I'm sure you'll understand tha-
ZERATUL
You are the enemy of all who live, Kerrigan. What makes you think
we would have anything to do with you?
KERRIGAN
Because, Zeratul, I bring news of an event that threatens us all. If
you'd be so good as to escort me back to your citadel, I'll tell you
everything I know.
RASZAGAL
Very well, Kerrigan. We shall hear what you have to say. But be
warned: We will not suffer your treachery here.

||||| Mission Briefing |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Objectives :
- Bring Kerrigan to the Uraj crystal
- Kerrigan must survive
Raszagal :
Now then, Kerrigan. Perhaps you
had best explain yourself. What is
this news you've come to give?
Kerrigan :
There is a new Overmind growing
on Char.
Zeratul :
What? Impossible! Why should we
believe anything you have to say?
Kerrigan :
Because, Zeratul, I'm no longer the
mindless murderess whom you
fought on Char. The Overmind is
dead. Whatever warped control it
once had over me is gone. I know
that this is a lot to take in all at
once, but you've got to believe me!
There's more at a stake here than-
Aldaris :
She lies! She is infested to the
core! I for one will not listen to any
of this-
Raszagal :
Silence, Judicator. Continue,
Kerrigan.
Kerrigan :
Apparently, many of the renegade
Cerebrates, commanded by Daggoth,
have merged into a new Overmind.
Fortunately, the creature is still in
its infant stages. It can't control
the Swarm yet, but Daggoth and
the others still have control over
most of the Broods. The two
Cerebrates you killed here were
part of Daggoth's forces.
Look, I don't need to tell you all
what might happen if that thing
reaches maturity. I can guarantee
you that should it awaken, it'll take
full control of me just like it did
before. I don't want that to happen,
and I'm pretty sure you don't want
it to happen either.
Zeratul :
Even if what you say is true, our
priority is to save this world, not
assault the new Overmind! We must
find the crystals Uraj and Khalis
before we are all vanquished.
Kerrigan :
Then I'll help you with your search.
If you can defeat the renegade
Zerg gathered here, it'll weaken the
efforts of Daggoth and his ilk.
Raszagal :
My children, you must put aside
your fears and misgivings to
accomplish what must be done. For
the time being, Kerrigan will assist
you in your endeavors. Though she
has been your enemy, it is enough
that we share the same agenda
now. Allow her time enough to
prove herself to you, and you may
find her to be valued ally. For
now, you must focus on the task at
hand. Search for the Uraj on the
planet Braxis, and let nothing stop
you from recovering it.
Artanis :
We will do what you ask, Matriarch.
But you cannot expect us to forgive
Kerrigan's crimes against our race!
Executor, prepare our forces. We
shall debark for the planet Braxis
before the next moonrise.
||||| Mission Start ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
*** Beginning of the mission ***
KERRIGAN
Explain something to me, Zeratul. Why would your people leave
such a sacred crystal in the hands of these Terrans?
ZERATUL
We didn't. Long ago, this world was a Protoss colony called
Khyrador. When the strife between our tribes escalated, this
planet and the Uraj Crystal were abandoned. These Terrans
have come here only recently.
ARTANIS
Executor, we have a problem. Our warp matrix was damaged
during transit. Because of the extensive damage, we will be
unable to warp-in stargates to this location!
*** Bring Kerrigan to the Uraj crystal ***
KERRIGAN
The Crystal's here, boys! Send in a probe to gather
it up and our work here is done.
ZERATUL
You have done well, Kerrigan. There is more
to you than it seems. Perhaps I have misjudged you.
KERRIGAN
Given our history, I can't say I blame ya'. Let's
just get the job done.

vessels. However, their
configuration profile is unlike any
Terran group yet encountered. We
are receiving a transmission from
the fleet's command ship, identifying
itself as the Aleksander.
Stukov :
Protoss Commander, I am Admiral
Alexei Stukov of the United Earth
Directorate. We are here to take

direct violation of Terran space and
have openly attacked Terran troops.
Lower your shields and power down

spoke of the distant Terran
homeworld called Earth. These
humans have come a long way to
make war on us.
Artanis :

sound as if you fear these humans.
What are they to such as we? Was
it not we who defeated the
dreaded Overmind?
Zeratul :
Yes, Artanis. We did vanquish the
Overmind. But we did so with the
help of humans. Do not be so quick
to underestimate them.
Artanis :
Of course. Executor, I shall test the
mettle of these humans by scouting
ahead of your ships, and finding a
way through this blockade!

Artanis :
Executor, the Uraj is secured and
the UED has given up the chase.
We are currently holding perimeter
orbit over the planet Char. Zeratul,
have you locked onto the location of
the Khalis?
Zeratul :
Yes. I remember sensing its power
the last time I was on this world.
However, our sensors indicate a
massive, fluctuating energy
signature at its location. I am,
however, unable to identify the
signature's source.
Kerrigan :
That should be obvious, gentlemen;
the source is the Overmind itself.
When the Cerebrates merged
together, they must have locked
onto the Khalis' energies and nested
near it. It's probable that there'll be
a number of Broods protecting that
area. It's risky, but if we can strike
hard and fast, we might be able to
fight our way through their
defenses and escape with the
crystal.
Artanis :
Comrades, I may have an
alternative. Seeing as how the
Overmind is still in its infant stages,
I wonder if we might be able to
disrupt its control over those
Broods. If we can do enough
superficial damage to the creature,
it might pacify the Zerg nearest to
it, allowing us some time to retrieve
the Khalis.
Zeratul :
A bold plan, young Artanis. Your
courage rivals that of mighty
Tassadar himself.
Artanis :
You give me too much credit, noble
Zeratul. I am not worthy enough to
even speak 'His' name.
Kerrigan :
Touching. Look, boys, either of these
plans will work, but let's not waste
any time. I'll be able to exert limited
control over a few of the Zerg
here and provide you with some
back-up. But the longer we stay,
the more we risk losing both the
crystals again.

- Kill the traitor Aldaris
Raszagal :
Congratulations, Executor. Your
success has brought us the promise
of hope against the Zerg. However,
we face a new threat within our
own ranks. In your absence,
Judicator Aldaris and an entire
legion of Khalai survivors from Aiur
have begun an open revolt against
us.
Zeratul :
By the gods, this is ill news indeed!
Why would Aldaris betray us so?
Raszagal :
He and his ilk believe that it was
wrong to have abandoned Aiur and
consorted with our people. Their
prejudices have driven them to
perpetuate the Conclave's sins
against us! Even now, Aldaris and his
loyalist templar forces are
preparing to attack our Citadel.
Artanis :
I can scarcely believe this. As if the
Zerg were not enough! Matriarch,
are you certain of this?
Raszagal :
All too certain, young templar.
Executor, as Matriarch of the Dark
Templar and custodian of this world,
I hereby order you to terminate
Judicator Aldaris, and quell this
untimely uprising without delay!
There will be no dissent among us
while the Zerg are poised to strike!
Zeratul :
There is something amiss here. The
Matriarch has always been a wise
and gentle soul. Though there is
some merit in her decision, this is
very unlike her.
Artanis :
That may well be... But right now
we have a friend to kill. May Adun
forgive us.

Be advised, Executor, our forces are divided. Aldaris has taken

Fear not, comrades, for we have Archons of our own! Should the
dire need arise, all Dark Templar may merge to become Dark
Archons. Though we sacrifice our warriors in doing so, only the
might of the Dark Archons can match the forces of Aldaris.

ALDARIS
You didn't think I'd be caught so easily did you, Executor? You
have only destroyed a phantom.

believe me to be a traitor, but it is you and the Matriarch who will
usher our race to oblivion!

ZERATUL
It is finished, Judicator. Surrender your remaining forces, and join us
in eradicating the Zerg.
ALDARIS
I would sooner die, dark one, than tarnish the memory of Aiur by
joining with you. Your fate was sealed the moment your Matriarch
allied herself with the Queen of Blades! Those of us still loyal to
Aiur will never be slaves to Kerrigan and her Broods.
ARTANIS
Aldaris, be reasonable! Kerrigan has changed. She no longer
seeks to enslave everyone. Do not force us to destroy you.
ALDARIS
You can no longer afford to be so naive, Artanis. While you were
securing the crystals, I discovered that your Matriarch has been
harboring dark secret! She has been manipulated by de-

We have no time for this!

Kerrigan... What have you done?
KERRIGAN
I just cleaned up your mess, Protoss. Don't be so squeamish.
ZERATUL
Wretched creature! This was a Protoss matter; you had no right
to interfere! Begone from this world! You are no longer welcome
among us!

Fine. I've done what I came here to do. I've insured the

Artanis :
This entire chain of events has been
masterminded by Kerrigan, and we
played right into her hands!
Zeratul :
Yes we did, Artanis. Yet our course
is set nonetheless. Using the
Temple's energies against the
renegade Zerg may accomplish
Kerrigan's aims, but it is still our
only chance of survival.

your wisdom and strength. Yet

something that clouds your true
spirit. Though Kerrigan has gone, I

spirit will shine before you, and light

PROLOGUE :
Since the conflict began in the Koprulu
sector, the ruling council of the United Earth
Directorate has closely monitored its wayward
Terran colonies. Having witnessed the steady
advancement of the Zerg infestation and the
maneuverings of the Protoss throughout the
Colonies, the ruling council has finally agreed
to take control over the war-torn sector.
Learning that a new Zerg Overmind has
manifested itself upon the planet Char, the
UED has sent its greatest Admiral, Gerard
DuGalle, to capture the creature. As Captain
of the UED fleet under DuGalle, your objective
will be to storm the Terran Dominion and
depose of its dictator, Emperor Mengsk I.

Adjutant online. Good morning,
Captain. Our long voyage from Earth
is over, and we are holding a
stationary position near the borders
of Dominion space. I trust that the
effects from your long cold sleep
have worn off by now. If not, the
Med Officer can provide you with
additional CryoStim supplements.
Admial DuGalle has issued a
proclamation to the entire fleet via
transmat. I'll patch it through to you
now.
DuGalle :
Attention! Defenders of the United
Earth Directorate, this is Admiral
DuGalle. You were all briefed before
we left Earth, so you know that we
have come here to conquer this
sector in the name of Humanity.
Should any of you have second
thoughts about performing your
assigned duties, be reminded that if
we fail in our mission here, not one
of us will be going home. We stand
or fall together in this forsaken
wasteland!
Serve the Directorate. Serve
Humanity. All other priorities are
secondary to victory! DuGalle out.
Adjutant :

Stukov :
Good morning, Captain. I am Vice
Admiral Stukov, tactical advisor to
Admiral DuGalle. I see you've already
reviewed his proclamation. I'm sure
it doesn't cover anything you
weren't already familiar with. Once
you get to know the Admiral, I'm
sure you'll find that he's actually
quite personable.
At any rate, Captain, I do have
orders for you. As we are about to
begin our invasion of the Dominion,
we will need access to their
primary datanet and weapons
diagnostics. To this end, you are to
assault the outlying planet of Braxis,
and take control of its capital city
of Boralis. You are to deploy your
forces within two standard hours.
The Admiral expects perfect
results, Captain. Stukov out.

for amnesty.
STUKOV
Intriguing. Lieutenant, you have absolutely no ideas as to who we
are or what we have come here to do. Why do you wish to side
with us?
DURAN
Because my men and I have sworn to fight against the Dominion
and its Emperor. Seeing as how your forces have been laying
into this Dominion base, I figured we were on the same side.
STUKOV
I see. How exactly do you propose to be of service to us,
Lieutenant?
DURAN
Well, I possess intimate knowledge of the surrounding area. I can
show you an alternate route that leads to the rear of the main
Dominion base.
STUKOV
Very well, Lieutenant. Consider yourself and your men the first

DuGalle :
Captain, Vice Admiral Stukov has
informed me of your flawless sortie
upon Braxis. I must commend you
for beginning our campaign with
such a decisive victory. Our Tac
Teams have decrypted the
Dominion's datalink and have gained
access to Mengsk's most guarded
files. However, our work is not yet
complete.
We have ascertained the location of
the Dylarian shipyards. These
shipyards, serving as a fueling and
repair station for the Dominion,
house a number of functional
Battlecruisers in dry-dock. To
assure that our domination of this
sector remains uncontested, you are
to assault the shipyards and liberate
as many of these capital ships as
possible.
Duran :
Gentlemen, I recommend that you
launch this attack using the utmost
caution. Dominion Command can
typically reinforce its outlying bases
within sixteen standard hours. You
should expect some sort of reprisal
from Emperor Mengsk shortly.
DuGalle :
Ah, the turncoat. I suggest that you
pay keen attention to rank when
you address the Captain and myself,
Lieutenant Duran. Is that
understood?
Duran :
Of course, Admiral.
Stukov :
Heh heh. You're beginning to show
your age, Gerard. Give the boy
some credit. He just tipped us off
to a preeminent attack.
DuGalle :
However useful he may prove to be,
Alexei, he will always be a traitor in
my eyes. And you know that I
cannot abide a traitor.
Stukov :
Only too well, Gerard. Captain, when
you are ready, you may commence

commandeered the enemy's
battlecruisers, be prepared to repel
the Dominion reinforcements when
they arrive.

Objectives :

Adjutant :
Captain, the Dominion shipyards have
been destroyed, and it seems that
General Duke has withdrawn his
forces from this quadrant. We have
impressed most of the remaining
Dylarian defense forces into the
fleet and stand ready to move to
the next phase of our invasion.
Stukov :
We've just received word from our
research team that they've
uncovered some kind of hidden
weapons relay upon the planet
Tarsonis. They report that it's
called a Psi Disrupter, and that its
purpose is somehow connected with
the Zerg.
Duran :
Admiral, during the Zerg invasion of
these colonies, the Confederacy had
manufactured a number of portable
machines called Psi Emitters which
had the uncanny ability to lure Zerg
to their signals. It was rumored
that they had created a specialized
emitter that could disrupt the
Zerg's communications, but Emperor
Mengsk was never able to find it.
It appears that this Psi Disrupter is
the machine he was looking for. I
must humbly suggest to you,
Admiral, that the Disrupter be
destroyed as quickly as possible. If it
should fall into the hands of the
Dominion we could face some very
serious problems.
DuGalle :
Hmm. A prudent call, Lieutenant. I
am inclined to agree.
Stukov :
But Admiral, this device could insure
our victory over the Zerg! It is
foolhardy to discard such an
advantage!
Duran :
Surely, Vice Admiral, you don't doubt
the tenacity of your own fleet?
Your Directorate forces will
devastate the Zerg without the
need for such a device.
Stukov :
Listen here, Lieutenant, I've had just
about enough of your-
DuGalle :
This conversation is over, Alexei.
Given the true nature of our
mission to enslave the Overmind, we
could hardly stand to have Mengsk
control a device of this magnitude.
This Psi Disrupter must be
destroyed in order to safeguard our
mission. Ensign, set your course for
Tarsonis.

||||| Mission Briefing |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Objectives :
- Destroy the enemy physics labs
-OR-
- Destroy the enemy nuclear silos
DuGalle :
Captain, once again your leadership
has set a fine example to the rest
of my officers. Vice Admiral Stukov
has informed me that the Psi</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Disrupter has been accounted for,
so we can now proceed with the
next phase of our operation. The
time has come to begin our primary
invasion of the Dominion
Throne-world of Korhal. Alexei, fill
the Captain in on the current
situation.
Stukov :
As you may know from your
research, Captain, Korhal was a
hotbed of anti-Confederate
sentiment for years. The
Confederacy hoped to contain
Korhal's civil unrest by decimating it
and its population with a massive
nuclear barrage. Though the
radiation levels on the planet are at
an all time low, its surface is now
nothing more than a smoldering desert.
Duran :
The catch, Admiral, is that because
this world has already been
devastated by nuclear fire, Mengsk
has no compunction against using
Nukes on us. We have detected a
large cluster of missile silos on the
outskirts of Augustgrad. If those
silos were destroyed, we believe
that Mengsk would lose his core
nuclear capabilities.
Stukov :
We also face a different obstacle,
Captain. Intelligence has informed us
that Mengsk employs multiple
battlecruisers for his planetary
defense. It is possible to nulify
these battlecruisers by taking out
strategic physics labs. Without
these labs, Mengsk will be unable to
power-up his ships' weapons
systems.
DuGalle :
Though we know how to compensate
for Mengsk's defenses, we don't
have enough time to follow through
on them both. Therefore, Captain,
you must choose to either counter
his nuclear capabilities or his
battlecruisers. Once you've taken
care of this operation, we can begin
to plan our final assault against
Augustgrad.
||||| Mission Start ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Superbly done, Captain. Mengsk's battlecruisers are

opportunity presents itself. Keep

Lieutenant Duran, report your situation immediately!
STUKOV
Gerard... old friend. You do indeed have a traitor in your midst... but it's
not me. Duran. He has been playing us both from the start... He
convinced you to destroy the Psi Disrupter... even though it was our best
chance at defeating the Zerg. And then, on Aiur, ...he allowed the Zerg
to overrun us even as we had the fugitives in our grasp. I came here...
to activate the one hope we have of defeating them... And you killed me
for it. Heh, heh... Duran is your enemy Gerard. I suspect... that he may
even be infested as well... Use the Disrupter, Gerard... Finish our
operation... Let my death have at least some meaning.

Adjutant :
Captain, with the Psi Disrupter's
signal hampering the Zergs'
communications to one another, the
Swarms over Char have scattered
in disarray, allowing the fleet to
penetrate to the planet's surface.
However, there is still a
considerable number of defenders
nestled around the fledgling
Overmind.
DuGalle :
Alexei was right. The Disrupter is
the key to victory here. If I had
destroyed the machine as Duran
suggested we would never have
made it this far... Nevertheless, the
time is upon us, Captain, to do what
we came here for. We will claim
the Overmind in the name of
Humanity!
Adjutant :
Be advised, Captain: our sensors
have identified three cerebrates
who constitute the core of the
Overmind's defenses. Each
cerebrate's distinct capabilities are
still unknown, so proceed with
extreme caution.
DuGalle :
Launch your forces and let not a
Zerg survive! Once you have
reached the Overmind and crushed
its defenders, you are to send in
specially trained medics who will
pacify the creature with potent
Neurostim drugs. Only then will our
victory be assured.
And Captain, remember that Duran
is still out there somewhere. I'd
venture a guess that his treachery
has only just begun. Be careful and
good luck. I am sure that this will be
our finest hour.

I am Kerrigan. The Zerg you've killed here and the Overmind
which you've come to collect... are mine. As is our mutual
friend Lieutenant Duran. You seem Admiral... there are a number
of groups on this sector who feel that your involvement here
causes certain complcations. My Associates and I intend to
make sure that your reign is short lived.
DUGALLE
You may find that difficult, you abomination, seeing as how I
possess the means to disrupt your control of the Zerg.
KERRIGAN
Ah, you're reffering to your vaunted Psi Disrupter. It won't last
you forever, Admiral. Sooner or later, I'll destroy it. Then I'll
show you what the Zerg are really capable of.

interrupting, but the visitors you
have been expecting have arrived.
Kerrigan :
Finally. They certainly took their

Raynor :
Yeah, well none of us were in any

Kerrigan :
Still suspicious of my motives,
Jimmy?
Raynor :
Always.
Kerrigan :
Heh. When I contacted you both on
Aiur, I told you about the new
Overmind and about the UED that
seeks to control it. Well, the UED
has done it. They've tamed the
Overmind and now control most of
the Zerg broods in this sector.
That's why I've asked for your help.
Fenix :
You want us to help you defeat the
UED so that you alone will rule the
Zerg!
Kerrigan :
Wrong, Fenix. I want to defeat
them because if we don't, they'll
clamp down on this sector, and
enslave us all! You know I'm right
Jim. You've studied the history of
Earth, you know what the UED's
agenda is. Taking control of the
Zerg is only the beginning for them.

Duran :
My Queen, again I beg your pardon
for this interruption, but we have a
very serious problem!
Kerrigan :
Perfect timing... Gentlemen, we'll
need to finish this conversation

Duran :
The Psi Disrupter's signal has
reached us here on Tarsonis and
shattered the unity of your broods!
Within the past few hours, your
minions have turned on each other
and left their hive clusters to run
out of control!

more concentration just to keep
them in line.
Raynor :
Aww... My heart's breaking for you,
Kerrigan. Now exactly why was it
that you asked Fenix and I to bring
Mengsk to you?

Not long enough. Why have I been
brought here?
Kerrigan :
I need your Psi Emmiters, Arcturus.
Mengsk :
Why?
Kerrigan :
Remember the Confederate Psi
Disrupter that you could never
find? Well, the UED found it. And
it's preventing me from controlling
my minions. With the help of your
Psi Emmiters, I can gather up enough
Zerg to destroy the Disrupter and
confront the UED.
Mengsk :
And what are you offering me in
return?
Kerrigan :
Hah. Ever the politician. All right,
'Emperor', if you help me destroy
the Disrupter, I'll help you retake
Korhal from the UED.
Mengsk :
Hmm... a tempting offer. What
assurances do I have of you fulfilling
your end of the bargain?
Kerrigan :
The only thing I can assure you of,
Arcturus, is that without my help,
you'll be the Emperor of your own

speaker. All right, Kerrigan. I'll lend
you some Emitters, but this had
better be worth it.

KERRIGAN
Good work, Jim.
MENGSK
The Psi Emitter will be carried by one of my SCV's. With the
Disrupter's power cut, the Emitter should be able to get the
attention of any renegade Zerg near it. The SCV will then be
able to lure the Zerg back to your base. Once the Zerg arrive
there, you'll be able to assert direct control over them.
*** Acquire at least 1 Zerg Drone using the Psi Emmitter ***

Excellent work! Although these Zerg are now under my control, I
sense that there are more Zerg out there. We must lure as many
of them here as possible!

I know what you mean, Fenix. I'd love

up my primary hive clusters. I'm
wondering if you gentlemen wouldn't
mind going on a fuel raid for me?
Raynor :
It sounds like you've already got a
plan. What are ya' thinkin'?
Kerrigan :
I'm thinking that we should pay the
Kel-Morian Combine a little visit.
Moria is one of the largest resource
nodes in the sector. If you can
bypass their defenses, and steal
enough resources from them, we'll
be able to afford a full-scale assault
on Korhal.
Raynor :
It's risky, but I think we can handle
it. Fenix, are you into this?
Fenix :
If it betters our chances, I will lead
the assault myself.

only their forces on Char pose any
significant threat to me. It's time
to move to the second phase of my

They are of no further use to me.

Duke, Mengsk will be easy to deal
with. But Raynor and Fenix are
uncannily resourceful. They must all
be eradicated. Cerebrate, I want
both General Duke's and Fenix's
bases destroyed. Leave no one
alive.
Duran :
My Queen, if I may suggest a
strategy? Both the Protoss and
Terran forces are resting after our
previous victory. If we attack
immediately, while most of them are
asleep and unaware, we can whittle
down their defenses with relative
ease!
Kerrigan :
Clever. How long after our initial
attack can we expect them to
regroup and retaliate?
Duran :
I'd say in 6 minutes.
Kerrigan :
That only gives us enough time to
launch a surprise attack against one

I've been through! Did you honestly think I'd let you get
away with that?
MENGSK:
But you said revenge was secondary to defeating
the UED!

I lied. I liberated this planet because it was the UED's
primary staging point, not because I was under any

control of the Overmind was tenous. Tarsonis is too
remote for them to maintain direct control over the Swarms,
so they've sent these 'scientists' to coordinate their attack.
DURAN
Cerebrate, focus your attack against the Terran facility.
All of the UED scientists must be killed. Only then will we
be able to finish off these Renegade Zerg.
NEW MISSION OBJECTIVES
- Kill all the UED Scientists

Objectives :
- Bring Duran to each zerg beacon
- Duran must survive
Kerrigan :
Cerebrate, it's time we returned to
Shakuras. I have some unfinished
business with the Dark Templar
Matriarch, Raszagal. I'll need to steal
her from her tribe before we can
finally assault the Overmind on Char.
However, her defenders will not
simply allow us to take her away.
Duran :
The pylon clusters are generating
some sort of electromagnetic field
that is preventing our flyers from
maneuvering. We won't have any air
support at all.
Kerrigan :
Then we'll need some new
strategy...
Duran :
Perhaps it would be best if we
staged some kind of diversion, my
Queen, and claimed the Matriarch
during the confusion.
Kerrigan :
What did you have in mind, Duran?
Duran :
The Protoss outpost of Talematros
is built upon a large mesa and is
essentially impregnable to ground
attacks. However, Talematros is
fueled and supported by a number
of adjacent pylon clusters. I believe
that if we can cause a surge within
those pylon clusters, we can cause
Talematros' power grids to overload.
The resulting explosion will be the
perfect cover for retrieving the
Matriarch.
Kerrigan :
Clean, simple, devious. I like it. Make
it happen Duran. Cerebrate, you'll
provide cover for Duran as he
infiltrates the pylon clusters. Let
nothing stand in our way!

Objectives :
- Destroy the Overmind with
Dark Templar
- Must be able to have
Dark Templar
Kerrigan :
The time is finally upon us, my
minions, to destroy the wretched
Overmind and the last of its
Renegade Cerebrates. We can
count on the UED providing us with
heavy resistance, but not even they
can stand in our way. Now that
the Matriarch, Raszagal is in my
custody, I possess the means to
attack the Overmind with impunity.
Duran :
But my Queen, I thought only the
Dark Templar's energies could harm
the Overmind and its Cerebrates.
Even with the numerous Broods at
your command, any attack we launch
against the Renegades will be in
vain.
Kerrigan :
Not so, Duran. As a matter of fact,
I'm expecting my secret weapon to
be arriving very soon.
Duran :
As you say, my Queen. But I still
don't understand wh-
We are receiving a transmission
from an unidentified Protoss
Carrier...
Kerrigan :
That's what I love about the
Protoss... They're so punctual.
Zeratul :
Kerrigan, this is Zeratul. I demand
to know why you've taken our
Matriarch.
Kerrigan :
Actually, Zeratul, she's not the one
I'm truly interested in. I stole her
to get to you. You see, I need you
and your brethren to kill the
Overmind for me. The only way I
had of assuring your cooperation
was to take away that which you
value most. However, I give you my
word that once you've killed the
Overmind, I'll allow her to return to
you.
Zeratul :
As if your word held any value...
Raszagal :
Zeratul, my faithful servant. You
must aid Kerrigan in this endeavor.
The Overmind is our common
enemy. It must be destroyed to
insure that our people will survive!
Zeratul :
You ask me to aid this vile
creature?
Raszagal :
I do not ask this for myself. Nor do
I ask it on Kerrigan's behalf. I ask
you to do this for our people,
Zeratul. Obey me as you always
have... Trust in my judgement.
Zeratul :
Very well, Matriarch. The
Overmind will die this day.
||||| Mission Start ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
*** Kill the Overmind ***
ZERATUL
It's done, Kerrigan. The Overmind is dead as you wished.
Now I demand that you release the Matriarch at once!
KERRIGAN
Of course. Raszagal, do you wish to return to your tribe?
RASZAGAL
No, my Queen. I wish only to serve you and remain at your side.
ZERATUL
What treachery is this, Kerrigan? This pathetic creature
cannot possibly be Raszagal!
KERRIGAN
Ha ha ha. I promised that I'd allow her to return to you, Zeratul.
But it looks to me like she doesn't want to go.
ZERATUL
You have corrupted her! Somehow you have poisoned her
thoughts. Restore her to her rightful self, or you will pay dearly
for this offense, Kerrigan!
KERRIGAN
All right, Zeratul, you've got me. I made your Matriarch my
slave long before I joined you on Shakuras. She made the
mistake of underestimating my power just like everyone else
did. And now she's paid the price.
With her as my puppet I was able to eradicate the Renegades
on Shakuras, and use you to kill the Overmind. And as you can
see, your leader belongs to me now. Not bad, huh?
ZERATUL
We shall see, Kerrigan. We shall see...

||||| Mission Briefing |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Objectives :
- Destroy the Protoss base within 30
minutes
- Recover the Matriarch and Zeratul
Duran :
My Queen, with the Overmind and
its cerebrates destroyed, all of the
Zerg in this sector have reverted
to your direct control. The
remnants of the UED fleet have
fled the planet, but I have no idea
how many functional ships they still
possess.
We have finished relocating your
primary hive clusters to this orbital
platform. However, we do have a
problem. Somehow, Zeratul and his
brethren were able to bypass our
defenses and steal their Matriarch
away from us.
Kerrigan :
Damn Zeratul! He is a formidable
adversary. Where have they run to,
Duran?
Duran :
Our scouts report that they have
regrouped with a number of Protoss
survivors on the surface of Char.
The Matriarch is being held within a
stasis cell, leading me to suspect
that the Protoss will attempt to
take her home to Shakuras.
Kerrigan :
Heh. They still believe that she can
be saved from my influence...
Zeratul will be very dissapointed to
learn that Raszagal is beyond
redemption. How much time before
their fleet is ready to debark for
Shakuras?
Duran :
They will be capable of dimensional
recall within thirty minutes, my
Queen.
Kerrigan :
That may be all the time we need.
Cerebrate, mobilize all of my broods
and send them to the surface of
Char. I want you to bring both the
Matriarch and Zeratul to me alive.
Terminate the remaining Protoss
with extreme prejudice.
||||| Mission Start ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
*** Destroy the Protoss base within 30 minutes ***
ZERATUL
Damn you, Kerrigan, for what I must do!
RASZAGAL
Thank you, Zeratul... You have freed me from
her vile control at last. You have always served
me with honor... Thus I must ask you... to watch
over my tribe... Into your hands I give the future.
KERRIGAN
I can hardly believe this! You've killed your own Matriarch!
ZERATUL
Better that I killed her, than let her live as your slave, Kerrigan.
KERRIGAN
Well, I have misjudged you, warrior. You are worthy,
indeed. You are free to go.
ZERATUL
What?
KERRIGAN
I said, you are free to go. I've already taken
your honor. I'll let you live, because I know that
from now on; your every waking moment will be
torture. You'll never be able to forgive yourself for
what I've forced you to do. And that, Zeratul, is a
better revenge than I could have ever dreamed of.
ZERATUL
You will regret this decision, Kerrigan. We shall
meet again.

||||| Mission Briefing |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Objectives :
- Destroy all enemy bases
Kerrigan :
Cerebrate, our scouts have just
identified three separate fleets
approaching this platform. With
Duran having dissapeared, and the
bulk of my broods still on the
surface of Char, you'll need to hold
off the invaders by yourself.
Mengsk :
You sound worried, Kerrigan. Have I
caught you at a bad time?
Kerrigan :
Not at all, Arcturus. How'd you
manage to scrape up your new
fleet? Been raiding the salvage
dump again?
Mengsk :
I called in a few favors. Made a few
concessions. You'd be surprised to
see how many special interest
groups in this sector want to see
you dead.
Kerrigan :
I'm sorry to have to dissapoint your
new friends, Arcturus. But you
really shouldn't have attempted this
stunt. It'll take more than your
three little fleets to bring me down.
Mengsk :
Three fleets?
Kerrigan :
Don't play dumb, Arcturus. I've
already spotted the other two
fleets.
Artanis :
Kerrigan, this is Artanis. My
brethren and I have come to avenge
the deaths of Fenix, the Matriarch,
and all of the other Protoss who
fell before the Swarm! It is long
past time you paid for your crimes
against our people.
Kerrigan :
When it rains, it pours...
Mengsk :
Hah ha ha... The Protoss, too! Care
to take a guess as to who the third
fleet is?
Kerrigan :
No need to guess. It's DuGalle and
the remainder of the UED fleet.
DuGalle :
That is correct, Kerrigan. This is
Admiral DuGalle. I am giving you one
last chance to surrender your
forces, and submit to the sovereign
authority of the United Earth
Directorate.
Kerrigan :
Gee, that's a tough one, Admiral.
You'll have let me think for a
minute... You know, Admiral, I think
I'll just massacre your remaining
troops now and watch you die in
agony. How would that be?
DuGalle :
You vastly underestimate me, my
dear.
Kerrigan :
I don't think so, Admiral. You see, at
this point... I'm pretty much the
Queen Bitch of the Universe. And
not all of your little soldiers or
space ships will stand in my way
again.
DuGalle :
So be it.
||||| Mission Start ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
*** Destroy Dominion forces (red) ***
MENGSK
Congratulations, Kerrigan. You've beaten me again. Just
remember that I'll be out there... Waiting for you to slip up. Because
sooner or later you'll make a mistake. And when you do...
*** Destroy Protoss forces (blue) ***
ARTANIS
Savor this victory, Kerrigan! For the Protoss will never forget your
treachery. We shall be watching you.
*** Destroy UED forces (white) ***
DUGALLE
Kerrigan, I am prepared to offer terms of surrender. It is my wish
that you allow my men to live-
KERRIGAN
You're not I a position to offer me anything, Admiral. And I don't
take prisoners. I'll tell you what... Turn your remaining ships around
and start heading back towards the Earth. I'll let you have a head
start, before I send the Swarms after you. It'll be interesting sport to
see how far you get before you die.
||||| Mission End ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EPILOGUE
Shortly after DuGalle's defeat, the remainder
of the UED Fleet was overtaken by Kerrigan's
forces and eradicated. No UED vessel ever
made it back to Earth to report what had
transpired.
With his rag-tag fleet beaten and crippled,
Arcturus Mengsk fled back to Korhal to lick
his wounds and plan the reconstruction of his
Terran Dominion...
Artanis and the Protoss survivors returned
to Shakuras to begin rebuilding their once
glorious civilization...
Zeratul and James Raynor went their
separate ways and have not been heard from
since their departure.
And alone, floating on a dark platform above
the burnt-out planet of Char, Sarah Kerrigan,
the Queen of Blades, sat and lorded over the
ravenous Swarms. Unable to shake the feeling
that a great threat loomed just over the
horizon, Kerrigan could only stare off into the
vastness of space where she beheld a great
void. Or perhaps a reflection of a hollow
victory and of the trials yet to come...
