StarCraft begins just days after the first of these attacks, where the predominant Terran government, the Confederacy of Man, falls into a state of panic as it comes under attack by both the Zerg and the Protoss, in addition to increasing rebel activity led by Arcturus Mengsk against its rule. From all perspectives, the gameplay was so much less repetitive than LotV and didnt rely on Kerrigan missions like HotS, the story was so much better than HotS or LotV, and it offered a lot of missions. However, the Zerg target the Terrans for assimilation to harness their psionic potential, forcing the Protoss to destroy tainted Terran colonies to contain the Zerg infestation. Intrigued by the behavior and mentality of the Terrans, the Protoss remain hidden to examine the humans, while protecting them from other threats without their knowledge. Out of contact with Earth, they form various factions to maintain their interests. However, the computers automating the colony ships malfunction, propelling the Terran colonists far off course to the edge of Protoss space.
Decades before the beginning of StarCraft in 2499, the hardline international government of Earth, the United Earth Directorate (UED), commissions a colonization program as part of a solution to overpopulation. These experiments backfire and the Xel'Naga are largely destroyed by the Zerg. Millennia before any of the events of the games, a species known as the Xel'Naga genetically engineer the Protoss and later the Zerg in attempts to create pure beings. The story focuses on the activities of the three species in a part of the Milky Way known as the Koprulu Sector. Set in the future, on planets far from Earth, it features three races: the human Terrans, the psionic Protoss and the bestial Zerg. Blizzard released an expansion later in 1998, StarCraft: Brood War, commonly acknowledged to have correct many game balance issues and leading the way to its eventual recognition as standard to which all other RTS games are compared to. Though you may only complete one of these missions for credits / research / campaign credit, the other, alternate mission is available on the console on the bridge to be replayed any time you like for achievements, etc.
