Just in case another StarCraft is announced, here's a quick refresher course. It was early 1998 when players first got the chance to lord over Protoss, Zerg, and Terran forces. For all StarCraft's finely balanced gameplay, it also featured an interesting plotline with some memorable characters. The original game chiefly followed the Zerg's rapid expansion across a section of space known as the Koprulu Sector, eventually invading the Protoss' home world of Aiur. The Protoss are forced to sacrifice one of their strongest warriors to destroy the Zerg Overmind put a stop the rampaging broods. But...
It doesn't exactly work, as we find out in StarCraft: Brood War, the first expansion released later in 1998. Here we see the rise to power of Kerrigan, a Terran turned Zerg, the "Queen of Blades," who is capable of acting independently from the newly formed Overmind. Here the Terran forces eventually wrangle control of the new Overmind, seizing power over the Zerg's scattered swarms. Of course there's plenty of betrayal and deception over the course of the three campaigns, but in the end it's Kerrigan that reigns victorious. If Blizzard's announcement is in fact a new StarCraft game, we can assume Kerrigan will play a central role.
