Through his betrayals, Kerrigan is left to die, but is instead captured and mutated by the Zerg. It is revealed that Mengsk was using the Zerg, and luring them to inhabited worlds to further his own goals by attacking his enemies. In what was a fairly major twist, Mengsk betrays everyone and shows his true colors as a tyrant. The two join forces and soon Raynor falls for Mengsk’s second-in command, Sarah Kerrigan. Raynor then joins the growing revolution against the Confederation, where he meets Arcturus Mengsk. Unfortunately the Zerg aren’t the only problem for Raynor and the Terrans, as the oppressive Confederacy of Man moves in and unjustly arrests Raynor. On a backwater planet, a marshal named Jim Raynor steps into the role as an unlikely leader, and fights off a horrifying attack from an insect-like swarm race known as the Zerg that are the stuff of nightmares. In the 25 th century, humanity will be known as the Terrans, and we will still be kicking the crap out of each other, just on a galactic scale. Brace yourselves, the story has had 12 years to spawn expansion packs, novels and the fertile ground of gamers’ imagination where it has grown to epic proportions.

Somewhere along the way, the sci-fi real time strategy game managed to transcend the realm of average and become something different- just ask gamers in Korea, where the StarCraft brand has generated nationally televised competitions, a professional league complete with large cash prizes (and game fixing scandals), and even a television station. When StarCraft first came out in 1998, it was well received, and sold around 1.5 million in its first year- a respectable, albeit not spectacular number. It is difficult to compete with a legend.
