Story
The Queen of Blades is gone. On the hellish planet Char, Jim Raynor harnessed the power of an ancient Xel’Naga artifact in a desperate bid to stop the zerg Swarm from overrunning the Koprulu sector, and the artifact restored Sarah Kerrigan to her human form. Without their queen to guide and unify them, the Swarm has fractured into several broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector. One of the greatest threats to the galaxy has been neutralized... or so it seems.
Sarah Kerrigan is on the loose. Even without the terrible powers of the Queen of Blades or the might of the Swarm at her command, the former Ghost remains a foe not to be taken lightly. But if the artifact really did set her free, then why is Kerrigan seeking out zerg broods scattered throughout the Koprulu sector? What happened to Jim Raynor? Is she still pursuing her quest for vengeance, or has her transformation given Kerrigan a new purpose?
Who is Sarah Kerrigan?

Cast of Characters
Kerrigan
The former Queen of Blades has lost her powers, and without her guidance, the zerg Swarm is in disarray. Kerrigan must find a way to restore her strength and regain control of the Swarm.
Jim Raynor
He risked everything to bring back the woman he loved, and against all odds, Raynor succeeded. However, Jim Raynor’s trials and tribulations are far from over.
Arcturus Mengsk
The emperor of the Terran Dominion almost succeeded in eliminating his greatest enemy. Now that Kerrigan has been weakened, Mengsk is sure to try to tie up this loose end once and for all.
Izsha
In earlier times, the Queen of Blades stored her thoughts and plans in the zerg creature called Izsha. Now the creature serves as an advisor and a source of information to Sarah Kerrigan.
Abathur
A one-of-a-kind zerg creature, cobbled together from different genetics, Abathur is a genius at manipulating DNA and mutagen to modify the Swarm.
Za’gara
A very intelligent type of queen known as a Brood Mother, Za'gara seeks to take over the Swarm in the absence of the Queen of Blades.

I wish they would "actually" make StarCraft: Ghost. A StarCraft third-person shooter, where you play as a ghost, how sick would that be? Plus, they could put it on consoles, putting StarCraft in the spotlight. Allowing a whole new fan base to experience the rts games they've been missing out on playing on the pc. If anything, I really wish they would release StarCraft II on PS3. Make a deal with Logitech, and bundle it with a wireless usb keyboard and rollerball mouse. I use a usb Logitech board and mouse for my laptop and they both also work on my PS3. This game is too good not to be a big player for mainstream consoles. C'mon Blizzard, make it happen!

@Harmanator: Just to add to my own post. Mass Effect 3 is coming out in a month. The whole gaming world, myself included, is pumped about this game. As I'm sure many of you know, Mass Effect is excellent. All I'm saying is that there is no reason why StarCraft: Ghost, or something similar couldn't be right where Mass Effect is. The StarCraft Universe is so rich. Personally, I would love to see Commander Raynor flying through space on his rebel ship, recruting members, going to Mara Sara, trying to get in Kerrigans pants and saving the galaxy from the Zerg and the Protoss. It's all there Blizzard. Rich content, engaging stories, die hard fans... All were missing is a StarCraft third person Mass Effect experience. You know it would be epic!

@Harmanator: Instead of just a ghost, nova would be good for girls and tosh (even though he is a spectre) for boys.

i personally hope kerrigan gets saved from the swarm. (BUT before that i hope she kills that venomous snake mengsk)
Though she was turned to the dark side by the overmind... i hope she regains her good long enough to both say goodbye to raynor and die if it she has to die that is... btw i hate unhappy endings... so quit saying she should die as an evil zerg. meaning she should stay evil and die in the worst way possible... people who don't like happy endings are evil. its mengsk's fault so he needs to be devoured. not her if anyone. -Xeno Yoxa

Tydus got his head shoot off and now the one raynor wanted to save is still zerg. I say protos all the way. kill her and bring back Tydus.
Login to rate
@Tanker: Who the hell is Tydus? I mean I know who Tychus Findlay was but he was working for Mengsk, Ultimately he deserved it. If you had played the Zeratul missions you would know that Sarah is a key element.

@zach I think valareine Minsk will meet his make in HoS, but considering how many people want to see A.Minsk dead I can only think blizzard would hold off to the final chapter.

I don't know if any of you will find this interesting, but Robert Clotworthy(voice of Jim Raynor) is also the narrator of the Ancient Aliens series on the history channel.

I would like a potential release date, but I can stay patient until Blizzard is officially ready to release it. I can see it being part of the fall line up of games or perhaps over the summer this year.
