Heroes Never Die
Preface
By: Dark-Elk
The galaxy is a hard place to live in now.
Billions have died since the incursion of the Zerg and Protoss into the Koprulu sector. The fall of the Confederacy and the subsequent rise of the Terran Dominion machinated by Arcturus Mengsk delivered large numbers of populated planets into the clutches of the Zerg. The Overmind fell upon Aiur, and its most trusted agent, the twisted Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades placed the mantle of leadership of the Swarms upon her shoulders. Ruling with an iron fist, she manipulated the remaining Protoss and James Raynor, leader of a band of Terran renegades, into doing her dirty work for a time and destroying a number of her prime rivals, some of the last remaining Cerebrates. The reborn Overmind similarly fell, as did the majority of the Terran Dominion. In a final apocalyptic battle, the Zerg Swarm defeated the remaining Protoss, the Terran Dominion, the Terran renegades lead by James Raynor, and the United Earth Directorate Expeditionary Force.
The UED force retreated from the Koprulu sector, intent on informing Terra of the plight of the Koprulu sector. The Terran Dominion has similarly retreated, trying vainly to strengthen its' borders to protect its sovereignty. The Protoss have retreated back to Shakuras to rebuild their massive fleets of war to prepare for the next conflict. The Zerg and Kerrigan seem to be pausing to catch their breath before the final push to assimilate the Terran Dominion and the Protoss.
In such trying times, each is forced to look to their own heroes. The Protoss have the deceased Tassadar, the Praetor Artanis, and the enigmatic Prelate Zeratul, currently missing. The Terran Dominion has the charismatic Emperor Arcturus Mengsk. The Zerg have their champion in Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades. The rebellious Terrans have their compassionate Commander James Raynor.
All stories come to an end, and all heroes inevitably fall, but new heroes always arise from the mists of obscurity to carry the torch for their time, and continue their races' struggle.
