The Terminal Agenda

In the intro of the game it is revealed that the United Earth Directorate had been watching and recording the Koprulu Sector Terrans since their exile. The United Earth Directorate or UED is a fictional government in the StarCraft universe which is descended from the former controlling government, the United Powers League (UPL). ... In the StarCraft universe, the Koprulu Sector —nicknamed the Terran Sector— is a sector in space colonized by the Terrans. ... The Marines of the Terran Confederacy. ...

The UPL saw no reason to interfere in the Koprulu Sector until the sudden (and violent) first contact between Terrans and the Protoss and Zerg were made. In the StarCraft universe, the Koprulu Sector —nicknamed the Terran Sector— is a sector in space colonized by the Terrans. ... The Marines of the Terran Confederacy. ... An armorless Protoss The Protoss are a race in Blizzard Entertainments real-time strategy computer game, StarCraft. ... A Zerg Hydralisk The Zerg are a vaguely insectoid race in the fictional StarCraft universe. ...

The UPL had never made contact with any alien species before, and panic spread throughout the UPL, which feared alien invasion of Earth. The fear even brought the few Earth nations not under the command of the UPL into its fold. The organization changed its name to the United Earth Directorate and took on a militant stance towards the aliens. The United Earth Directorate or UED is a fictional government in the StarCraft universe which is descended from the former controlling government, the United Powers League (UPL). ...

After monitoring the Protoss and Zerg for several months, the UED believed they had discerned their strengths and weaknesses. The UED collected an Expeditionary Force, whose purpose was to conquer the entire Koprulu Sector. It was led by Admiral Gerard DuGalle and his friend, Vice Admiral Stukov. They were given a secret order to take control of the Zerg and use them to pacify Protoss activity in the Koprulu Sector. In the StarCraft universe, the Koprulu Sector —nicknamed the Terran Sector— is a sector in space colonized by the Terrans. ... Admiral Gerard DuGalle of the UED Admiral Gerard DuGalle is a character in the StarCraft universe. ... Alexei Stukov (also known as Alexi Stukov) is a fictional character in the StarCraft universe. ... A Zerg Hydralisk The Zerg are a vaguely insectoid race in the fictional StarCraft universe. ... An armorless Protoss The Protoss are a race in Blizzard Entertainments real-time strategy computer game, StarCraft. ...

Brood War

The Brood War got its name from an effective "civil war" among the Zerg. Roughly half of the Zerg Broods fell under the control of Senior Zerg Cerebrate Daggoth, while the other half fell under the control of Sarah Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades. The two sides vied for control of the Zerg, and both the Protoss and the Terrans would be drawn into this conflict. A Zerg Hydralisk The Zerg are a vaguely insectoid race in the fictional StarCraft universe. ... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Zerg. ... Zerg Cerebrates are fictional characters from the StarCraft series of video games and books. ... Daggoth is a Zerg Cerebrate and the leader of the Zerg Tiamat Brood in the StarCraft universe. ...

Inconclusions

Brood War leaves several unanswered questions, not least that of Duran's connection with the Protoss-Zerg hybrid that Zeratul discovered. Also, whether Kerrigan knows anything of this new threat and the fate of Raynor and Zeratul. Whether these will be answered in a sequel (Starcraft 2 or Brood War 2.) or in Starcraft Ghost has yet to be seen. Unfortunately, the Starcraft Ghost project has been cancelled by Blizzard.

Brood War Introduction Movie

The game opens with a few Terrans in trenches, defending themselves from a bloody Zerg assault. A battlecruiser appearing overhead is pointed to by one marine as being the air support, though the ship does not open fire on the Zerg forces. The Marines of the Terran Confederacy. ... A Zerg Hydralisk The Zerg are a vaguely insectoid race in the fictional StarCraft universe. ...

In the battlecruiser, soft classical music plays on a vintage phonograph while two Terrans speak. The bald man is Admiral DuGalle, and the slightly younger man smoking a cigar is Vice Admiral Stukov. A crashing Terran Confederacy Behemoth-class battlecruiser in space. ... Edison cylinder phonograph ca. ... Admiral Gerard DuGalle of the UED Admiral Gerard DuGalle is a character in the StarCraft universe. ... Alexei Stukov (also known as Alexi Stukov) is a fictional character in the StarCraft universe. ...

DuGalle demands Stukov watch the ongoing massacre of the Terrans. Stukov said he has seen tapes of the Zerg already and knows all about them, but DuGalle insists he watch the battle with his own eyes to fully understand the power of the Zerg, stating: "Dissecting a dead Zerg in a lab is one thing, unleashing them upon man is another!" DuGalle calmly reminds Stukov that: "Once started, there is no going back." Stukov decides to go all the way (agreeing to fight the Zerg). As the Zerg begin to overrun the colony, an officer asks if they should intervene to save the remaining Terrans; DuGalle declines and orders the battlecruiser to enter orbit.

There is evidence that the Terrans who are fighting below are unrelated to the UED (United Earth Directorate). At the end of the trailer, the helmsman says over the P.A: "Admiral, the colonist base will be overrun in a matter of minutes. Shall we intervene?" DuGalle responds by telling the helmsman to go into orbit and that they have seen enough. The battlecruiser then abandons the colony.

The marine from the beginning of the movie stares up at the battlecruiser as it departs. As the ship departs, the background opera music crescendos to a dramatic finale. As the camera zooms away from the trench in which the marines are waiting, lightning strikes, briefly illuminating the silhouettes of countless Zerglings headed straight for the marines. In musical notation, crescendo means that the notes are gradually getting louder. ...

A two-minute trailer was released by Blizzard sometime before the expansion pack and depicted many scenes from the introduction movie along with some new scenes (see External Links). The background classical music from the introduction movie is used as the dominant song throughout the trailer. The official credits list the song as having Latin and French lyrics but a translation of the lyrics has not been found or revealed, so this cannot be substantiated.
